never before was witnessed in this
city. And the spectators hugely en-
joyed the brilliant pyrotechnics as they
were set off.
A large space, probably an eighth of
a mile in diameter, was spaced off in
the Shorb addition by the men who
had the explosion of the fireworks in
charge, and a rope was thrown around
this in a half circle, preventing the
people from gathering close to the scene
of the discharges. The display began
about o'clock and continued several
hours. The first explosions Of heavy
cannonading salutes were followed by
an illumination of the grounds, and
the setting off Of the word welcome"
in brilliant colors. A flight of color
mines were discharged which descend
ed to great height, casting beautiful
colors over the surrounding territory.
The set piece July 4th," was simply
beautiful, and the display of prismatic
whirlwinds and Japanese bombs fol-
lowed. Among the larger set pieces
which received particular attention of
the spectators, were the American flag,
portrait of Dewey, Niagara Falls,
American eagle and Battleship Olym-
phia. There were grand meteoric dis
plays of rockets and showers of colored
stars thrown high into the air. Piece
after piece was discharged and It is
not believed that a more grand display
was ever seen in this city. During the
firing Of the pyrotechnics a band dis
coursed patriotic music.

CIVIC AND MILITARY.
The Afternoon Parade Was One
OF the Finest Ever Seen
Here.

Under the glare of sizzling sun the
great military and civic parade moved
up the street on Wednesday afternoon
about 2 o'clock. The procession when
complete made a line nearly two miles
long. 1t reached from Second street
on North Cleveland avenue, up to Lake,
over to Market and down again to Sec
ond street on Market. 1t was the most
extensive parade OF the kind that has
ever been given in this city, beyond a
doubt. Every one had taken pains to
make the event success and their
efforts were highly satisfactory.
The procession was headed with n
squad Of Y. M. c. A. boys, rwenty-on
strong, who stretched across the street
and opened the way. The lads were
dressed in white duck trousers with
white duck caps for headgear, and
they made quite swell appearance
Major Charles r. Miller with his aids
followed closely, and a group of oId
Cuban warriors on horseback brought
the first flag along the line. Thayers
band with inspiring music marched
next, and following the band came
coaches with committees. The New
Berlin band headed a delegation of

ans headed by General Dick. There
were about 80 Of the boys In line.

CHESS TOURNEY ENDS
Four of tho Contestants Have the
 Same Percentage.

The last of the scheduled games in the Y. N. C. A. Chess Tourney were played last night; Turner losing to Wilson, and Henson to Rund. Each man entering was supposed to play ten games, but none had played the number within the limited time.
 Yeomans, Cooper: Latimer and Wilson have each won $ per cent. of the games they have played, and Yeomans has played a tie game. The granting of a halt point to Yeomans would give him the highest percentage. and the championship. But the committee has not decided whether or not to allow the half point and the cham plonshlp to Yeomans, or to have him and the others who have attained the same percentage to play to a finish. One of the rules, says one of the contestants, provided thIt the tie game should count half point for each of the contestants.
 Considering all the games played to date with the exception of the tie game, the score to date Is as follows:

Large Number of Railroad
 Men Stampede for It.
ON THE SOUTH FORK
Many British Columbians Wont In Before the News Was Generally Rumored Here-Nothing Definite as to Amount of Gold Per Pan.

Just before the AtlIn rush nearly two years ago there was one to the Big Salmon and lt Is remembered that great number of the stampeders from this city turned back before covering half the distance. They had received what was considered authoritative information that the Big Salmon was no good. Even those who went further brought back no roseate re ports
 But the prospecting, or rather the loeat> ing, was then on the Big Salmon, and that 1t Is now believed Is no more rich In gold than Is the Klondlke. lt Is said, however, that like the KlondIke, its tributaries have proven iieh. During the late fall and this winter 1t is whispered that many rich strikes have been made on these tributaries and hence the rush.
 The richness of these tributaries has been much talked of in Vancouver and in Victoria during the past winter, and in one or two instances the slow going newspap' CTS have caught on" and made reference to hopes of the great benefit the province would receive from the richness of these new dlgglngs.
 Many men from the province have been coming up here and packing in their sup piles, and gradually it has been whispered about here the number of men who have been leaving the trail for Dawson when they reached Big Salmon.
 But there has come out some new infor- nation during the past few days, of new strikes on the tributaries of the Big Sal mJn. These are principally on the south fork and the streams emptvlng into 1t. The first stampede was of gang of railroad hands that lett on Thursday. Since then ,oth railroad hands and snow shoveler: have been asking for their time checks, ,ant dozen or SO of we'll known Skagwa, men have joined in the rush.
