The first thing on the programme was the
parade consisting of the marshaIs Martin
Johnson and E. I. Wheeler-the presi
dents carriage, the band, the state ladies.
the flower girls, the boys on horseback the
bicycles and the horribles. The wagons
and carriages were all trimmed with red.
white and blue bunting. The wagon on
which the state ladies and goddess of Lib
ertv rode looked especially nice, being
beautifully trimmed, and drawn by six
white horses. The next on the program
was foot race, after which the Craftsburv
and Irasburg boys played an interesting
game of ball, the score standing to Z in
favor of the Irasburgs. After dinner Mr..
Upper introduced the speakers, Mr.. Ora
ham and Mr.. Fleetwood, to the crowd
gathered around the speakers stand. Their
speeches were very interesting. At Rev.
L. E. Tupper's request Mr.. P. M. Noodle
made some very pleasing remarks. Crafts
bury cornet band was in attendance and
maze the day more enjoyable. Later in
played game OF ball, the score being 26 to
