out for the last few feet, which were hari
to climb when the little fellows were get
ting tired
Two heats We're run in the barrel rolling
race, the first one won by Walter Bailey
and the second by Lewis Macord. and
much sport was afforded to the specta-
tors.
Considerable enthusiasm was aroused
by the potato races, the first of which
was won by Walter Bailey after hard
fought battle. The second was open to
all, and was close struggle. The man
whom the general onlooks picked for the
winner skipped a potato and the judges
awarded first place to Cyrus Dollff.
Another funny thing was the wheelbar-
row race, won by Stephen Green.
The sports closed with a half hours
athletic exhibition by the boys from st.
Joseph's Catholic Lyceum of Gardiner,
which was very good, and a fitting end
ing to the afternoon
Upon the concerts in the afternoon and
evening, comment is superfluous. Every
one knows they could not be otherwise
than excellent and among the most at
tractive features of the day.
1t was an ideal night for the fireworks
and immense crowds gathered early in
the evening to witness them. They were
furnished by Thurston & Kingsbury OF
Bangor, as Eastern agens for Paine, and
were put on under the personal supervis
ion of Mr.. A. B. Ham Of that city. Mr.
Ham spared no pains to make them all
that they should be, and judging by the
general comment since heard upon all
sides from those who saw, that they were
| the best seen here for year, his efforts
were crowned with success. At times the
air was literally filed with brilliant col.
ored rockets; then again, with the explo>
! sion of the huge repeating shells. They
| lasted only an hour but during that time
| it was all fireworks. There were no dark
| intervals. The celebration of the Glorious
| Fourth was an unqualified success. and
| the several committees who had the af-
| fair in charge, particularly DR.. Elwen,
| the executive head of it all, may congrat-
ulate themselves upon having done well
| the parts assigned them.

The Glorious Fourth,

A little Halloweil boys explanation of
his miniature celebration, as Some noise,
more noise, then some more noise" tells
the story in a general way, so far as the
city was concerned, in a Fourth O. July
celebration. The evening preceding the
Fourth was unusually noisy. Bands Of
boys bent on the peculiar pleasures which
the night affords, succeeded in making
the darksome hours most weird and I'M
canny, much to their evident qualification
and relief-the loss of sleep to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
Beyond the occasional din of horns and
the desultory explosions of cannon crack
ers, the day was quiet Many people lett
the city for the day, and several hundred
attended the celebration at Togus during
the afternoon and evening. The steamer
Gardiner carried a large party to the
down-river and Island resorts. The most
of the cottages at the lake We're occupied
during the DAY and over Saturday and
Sunday. The fine weather enabled a full
enjoyment of the holiday.

Judge Andrews, of the local munich
pal court, acted as arbitrator in case
of love at the session of Monday and
when he had weighed the scales of
justice, it was conclusively demonstrate
ed 10 all concerned that His Honor
knew how to fathom the wiies and in
tricacies of that person, Cupid.
It was all brought about by the APP
pearance of a young girl OF French
extraction, who wanted warrant
sworn out for the arrest of young
man, also of the lineage of France,
for annoying her.
The evidence showed that the fel
low hauled before the court was for
merly in love with the girl who sWore
out the complaint, that the girl gave
the young man what is popularity
termed the mitten' and that she
thought that a certain other person
was more agreeable company.
Judge Andrews, displaying the tact
for which he is famous, smoothed mat
tiers in d satisfactory manner for all
concerned and at last accounts all IN
terested were satisfied.
