auto parade is considered by everyone
as Il great success and one that should
be repeated at similar occasions in as
much as Mankato has number of
large and beautiful machines, belonging
to people who are willing to spend
time and money to decorate them.
The Twentieth Century band headed
the auto parade and the st. Peter
band was also in line.
The grand finale to the Fourth of
July celebration came with the fire
works which were not only exception
ally good but We're also managed in a
very creditable manner There were
a number of beautiful set pieces and
the evening was a fitting closing to
the otherwise successful and enjoyable
celebration, for which the committee de
serves great credit.
The Races.
An immense crowd took in the events
at the fair grounds yesterday after
noon. There was IL good deal of COM
plant on the price charged by the fair
association, fifty cents for admission
and twenty five cents extra for seats
in the grand stand, and many refused
to pay and went away. Nevertheless,

Macbeths new trotter showed good
qualities, and certainly gave good
account of himself in competition with
PAGERS.
The sham battle yesterday afternoon
between companies III of this city and
X of st. Peter, at the fair grounds
was exciting. Company Fl held some
entertainments, and company X at
tackled. The battle lasted for forty
five minutes, and 1000 rounds of am
munition were used. Company ii was
driven from one entrenchment to an
other, and after falling back to the
final ditch was captured The casual
/ ties were heavy on both sides.
The audience was given realistic
view of modern warfare, and enjoyed
it immensely. This was worth the
price of admission alone.
Balloon Ascensons.
The balloon ascension yesterday was
successful. The big balloon carried
the aeronaut up high i'll the air and
he made a successful descent. The
balloon went up 200 feet and came
down, and the aeronaut with it, and
landed in an auto near the C. & n
w. depot.
The street car line carried 3,2l4 more
people yesterday than on any previous
