Chesaw did the celebration act Mon
DAY, and those who were there can
look back with pleasant recollections
OF bay well spent, with all the trim
mlngs that make for a good time. The
Chesaw people made a reputation as
entertainers, and the success that was
SO marked in the days proceedings is
due to the energy good, Judgment and
zeal of those who had the celebration
in hand. There was large attend
ance, and all localities within a radius
OF many miles was represented, Oro-
vile sending up quite bunch. There
were various sports to enliven and en-
tertain, and each and every event was
worth seeing. Athletic contests of
various kinds attracted much rivalry.
and those features were exciting from
start to finish. A horse show was eX-
| ceedlngly interesting, as it demonstrate
ed that the farmers of the county are
paying more attention to an improved
and superior class of horses. The chief
interest centered around the ball game
between the Chesaw and Oroville
teams, and it proved to be the closest,
most exciting and best exhibition of
the national sport ever seen in the
county. 1t was the third time the
clubs had been pitted against each
other this season, and each had won a
game. Moreover there was tempt
ing purse of 800 to go to the winners,
and that made each side more anxious
to come out ahead in the count From
beginning to end the playing was SEN
SatiOnal, SO close as to be heart break
ing, with the result in doubt until the
very last inning. Up to the sixth can
to it was to 0 in favor of Chesaw, and
as both pitchers were working like
well oiled machine, and receiving gilt
edge support, the chances of the visit
ors overcoming the lead, small as it
was, seemed slim indeed. In the sew
enth, by hard work, the Oroville boy
managed to tie up the score. Both
drew blanks in the $ghth, and Che
saw another in the ninth. Amidst the
most intense eXciteme ut Oroville man
aged to fill the bases while two men
were going out. At this critical stage
Powell went to bat. He bunted ball
out of easy reach upon which he made
first, the man at third scoring the win
ming run. Hardly an error was made
on either side, and every man played
his position almost to perfection. The
batteries were for Chesaw, Rankin and
p. Mcintyre: Oroville, Olson and Fruit.

The weather throughout the day was
delightful, slight shower in the al
ternoon not interfering with the pro-
ceedings. No accident occurred dur
ing the day and the best of order pre-

mood, and entered into the spirit OF
the occasion, bent upon extracting as
much pleasure as possible from the day
and they certainly succeeded.
A correspondent sends in the follow
ing report of the picnic held at Palmer
lake by the residents of Nighthawk:
"If | were an artist would make the
canyas eloquent with the picture that
presented itself to the writer's gaze on
our national day, July 4. Imagine II
