riot over the green swards of the
ranch, and participate in the major
ity OF the games which are to be pre-
pared for their special benefit. Ev-
erything will be free in the way of en-
tertainment, the literary and musical
exercises. the rock drilling contests,
the dance at the pavilion, and there
VIII be Lemonade stands all over the
grounds where the thirsty may
quech their longings, and without
charge.
The principal exercises OF the day
Will take place in the baseball park.
In the morning there will be a parade,
which will form at the depot on the
arrival of the special train bringing
the people from Copper Flat and the
mines; from Ely and from the out
lying districts The parade. with the
MeGill bard at the head, will march
down the avenue and along the main
street. and ont to the bali grounds.
The ball park has peen selected as
the n place in the town where the
greatest seating capacity exists. Here
q temporary platform will be ar
ranged, and this will be for the ac-
commodation of the literary program
and for the rock drilling contest to
take place later in the day.
Grant Miller has been selected as
the orator of the day. He is now Mt
Reno. but has signified his willing
ness to be present on this occasion.
His address will be the principal
event of the literary exercises, which
are to be i~nterspersed with vocal and
instrumental music. or course the
big thing of the day will be the rock
drilling contest, and the boys from
the mines are already getting into
condition for that event. Not only
will they come from Copper Flat and
Kimberly, but they are coming in
from all parts of the county; for the
fact that Labor Day Is to be held In
McGill has been spread beyond the
confines of the district.
The Committee on Sports is busy
arranging its program for the occa-
sion, and this is a part of the enter
tainment which is going to be of
particular interest to the men, wom-
en- and children. There will be
events for the athletes and there will
be features for the amateurs. 1t is
known that there are runners with
records in the district. and they will
be given opportunity to test their
merits. There will be jumping. pole
yaulting, handicap racing, putting
the shot, and there will be games for
the women and children which not
only will be provocative of lots of
fun, but will be the vehicles for prizes
as we'll. In all the events the prizes
Will be well worth competing for;
even to the races for the children. A
baseball game is down on the pro-
gram of sports, and maybe there Will
be more than me. That part of the
sporting program has not yet been
decided upon, but IL will be arranged.
And the dance will not be the least
enjoyable of the many features which
are being arranged for the amuse-
ment and entertainment of all. IL
is now proposed to have dancing at
the pavilion in the afternoon and
evening; in the evening. of course,
will be the best of the dance. But
the orchestra Will be in attendance
all the time after the exercises have
been completed in the ball park.
Music will fill the air from morning
until night, and away late into the
night. There will be nothing for
which the heart may desire that will
be omitted from the program.
Arrangements are being made fol-
the special trains TO bring the peo-
pie from all over the district, and
from all over the county and TO re-
turn them again to their homes when
the celebration of Labor Day has be-
come Il memory in the dawning hours
of the morning after. Greater trains
than have ever yet been seen on any
holiday will be needed to aid in the
success of this event; and the Nevada
Northern have their plans already
under way to accommodate the
crowds which will be headed for Nc
J Gill. 1t will be one great day anc
one great success.
She Got Them.
