Calithumpian Parade Three Blocks Long,.
Ball Games

Bright and early things began to
move Monday morning. The
weather man had arranged for a
perfect day and his arrangements
were not butted into.
Heavy cannonading and stirring
National airs awoke the people to a
realization that the celebration was
on and that it was time to get up
and join in the festivities. Shortly
after 8 o'clock the advance army
of the Calithumpian order put in
an appearance and at 9 O'Clock
when the parade was ready to move
over 400 were in line.
Everything was represented and
some remarkable good get-ups
were noticeable. The judges had a
hard time picking out the features
entitled to the large prizes but fin
ally conferred on the mine" for
first money; the Gans-Nelson fight
for second; the menagerie for third
and two little yellow Indians for
fourth. All the other make-ups
were given a prize of Csc each and
327 quarters were distributed.
The parade covered three blocks.
Headed by the High School band
it traversed the principal streets
taking a stand before the City
Hall. The Sampo band brought
up the rear. Rev. ]. D. Manly
read the Declaration of Independ-
ence and Scott Leavett made the
address. Both were good and the
large concourse attentively listen
ed to the reading and the talk.
Both bands rendered patriotic airs.
No sooner had this feature of
the celebration been concluded than
the crowd repaired to first avenue
where race upon race and sport up
