HILO ON THE FOURTH.
Arrangements Under Way for n
Two DAYS Celebration.

Hilo will celebrate this Fourth of
July with a two days program.
Plans now decided upon will give
all who come to this city two days
and nights of relaxation which they
will not forget in a year. Friday
afternoon, July 3, the festivities
will begin with a Cowboys Congress
at which typical Wild West features
will be introduced. Wild cattle
will be tanned and obstreperous
bronchos will be made docile. Early
on the morning of the Fourth, will
begin the most interesting part of
the celebration, that of breaking sod
for the Hilo-K ohala Railroad. This
ceremony is in the charge of a com
mittee of gentlemen drawn from
every district in East Hawaii. The
turning of the sod will be accom-
panied by a musical and oratorical
program of suitable character. This
will be followed by a barbecue.
Preparations will be made for the
feeding of a multitude of people.
Arrangements are being made
for an interesting afternoon at the
race track. The Race Committee
has not yet completed preliminary
matters but with polo, other sports
and good races assured, the day
will be full &c the brim.
