Ilaza Luis F. TOrresl which for the oc- Casion was crowned with electric lights half of which were incased in colored lanterns, the band stand was draped with red, white, blue and green bunting and from every place that would hold them the two flags foated in breeze which had quaffed in the cool northern rain that was kind enough to grace us with it's presence the night before, leav- ing in the morning for parts unknown, leaving the great American eagle to scream and flap his wings during the whole of one of the most delightful nights we have had since Summer clothes came ill Vogue" The commit tee having in hand the decorating did so well-that they are exempt for one more year. The reception committee were proticients in their duty. The refresh ments committee which is very essential for 4th of July ball, was very patriotic: they opened with several kegs of ? Powder which left an echo far into the night, left Hermosillo famous the day before and returned empty as the Prodigal Son; the next display was five cases which contained 300 pieces of sparklers, next were several hundred ''popo" in great variety of colors At F a. m. lunch of hot coffee, sand wiches and cake was served.

Moreno have the distinction of having their birth days come on the 4th of July.
 The music and noise made was enough to wake the dead and before long Mir. Cleayeland and family were met on the wide veranda and after congratulations, the band played and for an hour dan- cing was resumed at the end of which Mrs. Cleaveland had coffee and sand wiches served. It was then six o'clock and wishing them many returns of the day---some retired to prepare for the days work while others returned to town and joined the other party who were starting to lombard the town which they did and would have con tinued to debut after a careful search of the town failed to bring forth any more fire-crackers the noble party were forced to retired vanquished by King Sleep.
