Reese Nj. Ling. of Prescott. whose speech in full will be found on rage eight.
 Rain Does Not Prevent
 In spite of the unexpected-and at any other time-welcome rain, Bis bees great Fourth of July celebration got good start before the rain drove many of the pleasure seekers under cover. The only events postponed were the athletic contests which will be run off Monday morning at s o'clock.

Ling and the carnival mask ball would have to h<a hs,t ho alapnanfS c rrnvad considerate and the speech was de- livered in the evening. The carniva, ball with all its splendors and fun producing was also held as planned.
 From Lowell to the furtherest re cesses of Tombstone canyon and from the lower end of Brewery Gulch to the foothills were distributed booths of every imaginable description where each and every one seemed to trans act thriving busness. Whether dry and thirsty or not. the congenial and happy crowd seemed to have the i'm pression that money was invented only for spending purposes and as con sequence the vendors thriyed.

Each beautiful and resplendent in their royal raiment, the quartette of beautiful young ladies was picture seldom 10 be produced in the city of Bisbee.

 Master Maynard Newman. the mas cot of the troops F and G, United 1ry nd of Captain BigeIow, was the crowning feature of the boys in khaki uniform as they followed the Queens escort and showed in splendid form. Behind the Boys in Blue" marched the Liv- ing Flag. one hundred girls in pure white carrying the national colors.
 Words fail in detail of the follow ing feature previously announced as the Elks and their famous Kiltie band. Not necessarily Scotch. but as close as could be, along the lines Of travesty, the band was decidedly a novel feat ufe and one fully appreciated. The music was mt quite up to the Philip Sousa standard, but it more than serv- ed the purpose.
 Then Come Floats.
 The Copper Queen Store float was mass of red, white and blue that could not help but please Massive pillars of crepon made each corner and the roof was of the same material. In the center was an immense globe. the continents being shown in red and the oceans in blue. The float was driven by a pretty girl attired as the Goddess of Liberty. and she was ac- companied by four other girls to rep resent Bisbee. Lowell. Douglas and
