The Parade of the Ridiculous"
promises to be one of the finest and
most extensive parades ever seen in
the city. A great deal of work has
been done in preparation of this fea-
ture by Chairman Bell of the parade
committee and Will Hanan. Some
really funny features are assured.
All auto owners are requested to ap-
pear in the parade with their cars
and a similar invitation is extended
to all who have carriages and vehic-
les of any kind.
Much time has been spent upon the
program to be given from the speak
er's platform at Halls grove. Presi-
dent of the Day c. T. Mcdonald will
preside and the principal address will
be delivered by Hon. James e. Babb,
of Lewiston, orator of the day. The
vocal music will be an exceptional
treat, being rendered by a double
quartet consisting of Messrs, Brady,
Minnick, Anderson, Jas. Wood, Ayers
Abrahamson, Waldrop and Hanson.
The addresses and vocal selections
will be interspersed by music by the
band.
The members of the fire depart
ment have been practicing diligently
OF late in preparation for their part
OF the program. The events will
consist of novelty hose race, a reg
ulation hose race, ladder climbing
contest, hub and hub race, a coup
ling contest and several others. The
fire department will also appear in
the parade.
Baseball will, of course, provide en-
'ertainment for a majority of the
crowd and an effort is being made
to bring the best teams in the coun-
try together. A large purse has
been put up and the games should be
exceedingly fast. At this writing the
schedule is to play one game Monday
and two on Tuesday.
The shipment of fireworks arrived
This week and embraces a large and
complete consignment. They will be
exploded at the school grounds and
the display will doubtless be magnifi-
cent and extensive. This will occur
as soon as sufficient darkness pre-
walls Monday evening.

the Armory both evenings under the
auspices of the fire department are
well under way and will be complet-
ed in ample time. The Grangeville
