The celebration in Scotland was
a success in every sense of the
word. The day before had been
rainy, seriously interfering with
the preparation of floats for the
parade, and on account of the con-
dition Of the streets and race track
1t was feared that it would be i'm
possible to carry out the program.
The morning of the Fourth dawned
bright and clear bringing fresh en-
couragement. The first arrivals
came on the early train from the
west, $50 coming from Trip, and
other towns along the line contrib
uting in smaller numbers. Olivet,
Memo and Freeman together with
the surrounding country contrib
uted literally to the attendance,
and when the time arrived for be-
ginning the program it was esti-
mated that from 1900 to 1000 peo-
pie were on the ground.
The streets and fronts of busi-
ness places were beautifully deco
rated, those of F. Becker, John
Schmierer & Co., BirKinbine &
Brown, and Gus Schmierer & Co.
being exceptionally fine.
At a little after ten o'clock the
parade formed on west Main street.
The order was as follows Scotland
Military Band; 6remen; First
National Bank three beautifully
decorated carriages, Misses Lii
liar Teibel and Anna Wanek, An
na zolnowskey, and John Schmier.

After the parade came the exer-
cises in the park, consisting of
music by band; The Star Spangled
Banner, sung by chorus led by
Rev. II. R. Upton; solo by Miss
Saarosy with full chorus; recita-
tion, Launching of the Ship, by
Mrs. Kings Columbia, by full cho-
rus; address by Sen. R. j. Gam
BILE; America, sung by the audi
ence led by chorus. These exer-
cises we're exceptionally good, all
OF the numbers being nicely rem
dered. The speech by Sen. Gam
bic was universally commended,
being su1ta BILE for the occasion and
ably delivered. The uneasiness of
the average audience during an
address on a Fourth of July is al
most proverbial, but on this occa-
sion it was entirely lacking. The
Senator was able to hold his au-
dlence to the last, many declaring
that it was the best oration for the
occasion that they had ever heard.
The program of sports was next
taken up at the fair ground at two
