CHINESE NEW YEAR IN EUREKA
How the Day Was Observed Here
About Twenty Years Ago


About Twenty Years Ago
The celebration Of the Chinese New
Year was begun in Eureka on Thursday,
January 81. asd the festivities will last
seven days. Owing to the present
small Chinese population here the
Celestials do not make a very elaborate
showing.
Twenty years ago, when there were
about 200 Cinnamon In this section, IL
was observed in true Oriental style.
The many Chinese stores at night were
brightly illuminated. aud the white
population was afforded great pleasure
in visiting these business places during
the holiday season. But it was on the
last or seventh day of the festivities
when the fun same in. On that oc.
casion. what was termed O ''China
fgh,' would take place. in which the
whole male Chinese population took
part. with 800 or 400 whites as spec
tators.
The contest usually came off In the
open neal the Buttercup furnace, north
Of town. Ga that day a number of
Chinese bombs would be exploded, in
n of which was concealed a certain
prize of q metallic substance. These
bombs were lighted and thrown into the
air at intervals by one of the Cinnamon
appointed for the occasion, and who
was supposed to be the only one present
who knew in which bomb the prize was
hidden. When the "big f~irecracker"
was thrown mp and had exploded. then
the Cinnamon would rush pell.mell to
the spot where the prize was believed
to have fallen, and a scramble re.
sembling a football game would tike
place.
The terms of the contest were that
the Chinaman getting possession Of this
metallic piece. retaining it and getting to
the joss house in Chinatown first, was
declared the boss Of that institution for
a year.. When these events took place
the ground was usually very muddy,
and the appearance of the Cinnamon
can be imagined.after they had wallowed
on the ground for a time in their efforts
to secure the coveted prize.
One of the traditions among the
Chinese Is that all debts must be cleared
of before New Years Day or the
chances of the delinquent Celestial
gaining admittance into the Flowery
Kingdom after he shufies off this
mortal coil are very slim.
