Prom The World OF Wednesday:

In conversation with Physical Direc.
tor Cartwright, of the Y. M. c. A. this
morning, a representative of The
Evening World was informed that an
effort would be made by the Associa-
tion to have some kind OF a celebra-
ton here on the Fifth of July. AS
is known the Fourth falls on Sunday
this year, and the plan is to have this
celebration on Monday, the opinion be-
ing that it will be easier to arrange
for such a celebration on Monday,
rather than Saturday.
AS referred to in the World exclu.
sively yesterday, Mr.. Cartwright
thinks that it would be well to arrange
for a meeting of the business men and
all others that can be interested in
such a celebration in the Y. M. C. A.
building, next Tuesday night, and
make arrangements to properly cele-
brate the day.
AS has been suggested it can be ar
ranged to have a parade in the morn
in or near the middle of the day.
MartinsburZ has enough material 10
form a very creditabie parade two
bands, five hose companies, National
Guard and various other organizations
that would join in with such an event.
OF course there will be some ex-
pense connected with the affair but
everybody would be willing to donate
some amount towards defraying same.
Contests could be arranged between
the various hose companies, and small
prizes could be offered to awaken in
terest.
A good base ball game could be
made feature of the day, ending
with display of fireworks at night,
all of which make fitting observance
of the day.
1t is hoped that some such arrange
ments can be carried forward by those
interested, and that the people OF Mar.
tinsburg will have the opportunity OF
celebrating this national holiday
among her own people. 1t is too late
to attempt one of our old time celebra-
tons but good time can be enjoyed
by all, and If the Y. NJ. G. A. is will
ing to undertake 1t. everybody should
help push it along.

WILL PROBABLY
CELEBRATE FOURTH
Many Citizens Are in Favor Of
Local Celebration.
MOVEMENT MAY BE
MADE BY Y. NJ. c. A
Would Be Move in the Right Oirec-
ton, and Would Be The Means of
Keeping Many of Our People Here,
Instead of Seeking other Places to
Spend an Enjoyable Day.

Much talk is being heard on all
sides as to whether Martinsburg Is
to have any kind Of celebration on
the Fifh--the Glorious Fourth falling
on Sunday.
Rumor has it that the Y. M. G. A.
will probably hold some kind Of a
field day at Athletic Park and various
other ways nave been suggested by
those who want to see the day cele-
brated. A good local celebration could
be planned, and at very moderate
cost, IL some of the firemen's organi-
cations. or any other-the Y. M. c. A,
for instance-wotld take the matter in
hand and push it to a successful con
cIusion.
A field day could be held in con-
junction with parade of the various
fire companies, the bands, Company
f, and all other organizations that
would take part Reel, hook ard lad
der, and foot races, including smile
marathon, for small pri2es-large
enough to make all anxious to win
them, could be made features, and
would be interesting and spirited for
the various fire companies at the pres
ent are striving for records, and ex-
pect to enter some hard races this
summer
The merchants and others of the
city would be willing to donate small
sum necessary to defray the expenses,
which would not have to be large, in
order to have the day celebrated in a
moderate way, and none would have
to be csked to donate a sum they
would not cheerfully give.
Include in the days festivities a
baseball game, and at night limited
fireworks, ans Martinsburg will have
fittingly celebrated the glorious day,
and will have given her people a
reason Tor staying at home and spend
ing their money here, instead of a
large portion going elsewhere as Is
usually the case Somebody whoop FER
Up. Let the eagle scream.

BOYS IN CLEVER DRILL
The Affair Ended In Good Game Of
Basket Ball Between the Ward
School Boys and Employed Boys
Neat Sum Realized, Which viii Be
Used to Improve Boys Rooms.
ON The World of Wednesday

From The World of Wednesday:
Last night at the Y. NJ G. A. gym,
lasium, the gymnastic exhibition given
last month was repeated for the ben,
eft of the boys rooms at the Associa.
ticn build ing A neat sum was real
lied as the boys We're divided into two
sides, the Reds and the Whites. and
engaged in contest for the sale o.
tickets The Reds under the leader
ship of Earl Zimmerman were the
winners by comfortable margin-3O
points.
The program was given as before
except that the basketball game be-
tween the High School and the en-
ployed boys was omitted, while at the
close of the parallel bar work by the
mems class, Messrs, Meredith, Taylor
and Cartwright gave a few more diff
cult stunts. The clown work OF Tay-
lar and Barrett were again the feature
of the evenings entertainment The
drill by the boys showed competent
training, and was clever part of the
program.
A basketball game was played be.
tween the ward school boys and the
younger boys of the employed boys
class, and it resulted in victory for
the VOL king boys to the tune Of 1915
Both teams played good games and
the class of playing was revelation
| to many who did not think that such
! young boys could do much. Baskets
OF sensational order were thrown not
once or twice by accident, but with
great frequency. Zimmerman did some
extra clever work for the school boys
making all the points scored for them
and throwing three foul goals out OF
same number of chances. Appel made
the largest number OF scores for the
employed boys but Engle and Barrett
| in the game all the time and showe5
that they were corners.
All in all it was a very creditabls
performance. and the spectators were
wsll pleased with the work done by
these Association gymnasts, especial
ly since they have been at such work
but three months 1t certainly looks
as though Martinsburg will have ath
