M
eoldfeld wa a genuine old-timf
s,,,;ou. held under cloudless skies
18th a gentle, cooling breeze blow
nat made the day ideal for open
.norts. and in appreciation of the
attraction of fine weather and
.lsudid program for the entire day
half the night, every inhabitant of
4, camp was on the streets during
=. .f,srnoon, and a greater part OF
:. sr,ire day. The old Goldfeld spir'
!. .howed all the way through the day,
:, The carnival was one that will be
,..,.a hack to for a long time by
.,,.s neople who stayed in their home
camp for the fun
Tia narade in the morning was a
hammer. Mique Catalan, Grant Mar
~, baaded the pageant. and then
~ afoot the sir knights OF the
pv.hian order, in their natty uniforms
md Carrying flashing swords. Next in
limo were the Knights of khorassan,
!, their Zouave uniforms, and then the
p,.s IN snow.white suits, wide brimmed
.trav hats bedecked with blue ribbon,
and each Elk displaying a tiny flag
at his belt.
A, immense float from the Kinder
gartsn department of the Local schools
ras another attraction, as on 1T were
something like an hundred little young
s.,rs, CARRIED in white, all happy look
mo. laughing, and forming one Of the
~prettiest pictures of the parade.
Decorated autos, pony carts, carri-
AGES and several freak floats, and a
number Of comic groups afoot followed.
Notable in the parade vas the Goldfeld
Fire Department, the splendid teams
carving themselves with a pride that
made it appear as though they knew
thew were on dress parade, with every
bit of leather, metal and woodwork of
harness and equipment immaculate in
its brightness.
The streets were crowded all along
the line of the parade, and handsomely
eoyned women with vari-colored sun
shades, men in cool-appearing coatless
comfort, and the decorated store fronts
with flags and streamers Of crepe and
bunting in the national coicrs flung to
The breeze from every vantage point
made a scene pleasing to the eye n
causing every heart to beat a little
faster as it was recalled that the event
was all in honor of the Declaration OF
independence of the greatest nation OF
all the nations of the world.
A Day of Sport and Froic.
There was something doing for ev-
rrybody all day long, and the events
we're 80 numerous that many people
could see but part of them. There was
something going on in any part OF the
camp to which you strolled. The min
ing men watched the drilling contest
with absorbed interest; the younger
folk and many of the elder-took In
The foot racing, in which there were
prizes for everybody from the kinder
sarten youngster to grandpa and
grandma, the thin man and the fat
nan, and so on up and down the line.
Then, in the afternoon, practically all
Of the town was gathered at the vari-
Gus places where the returns of the
Reno pugifistic battle were read oil,
and afterward a goodly crowd went to
see the horseraeing-just the kind we
all used to see at the old country fairs
back east.
