 First named in each committee is chairman Last night another meeting of the Fourth of July committees was held at Natatorium hall. Each committee pre- sented au estimate of expenses and the different amounts were apportioned. The report of the finance committee showed that the business men had been more liberal this year than ever before. The committee ou decorations re. ported that it was not practical to fill the hall with such gaudy creations as before, but suggested that the ceiling be given coat of white paint. This will probably be done.
 Of course the most interesting report was that of the sports committee. This committee has been increased by the addition of John Richards and M. J. O'Connor. The adoption of the report of the sports committee means that the big celebration will start at ' o'clock on the evening of July with single hand drilling contest to be participated in by all corners for a prize of S75 first, and S25, second. MT. John Richards of the Mexican will have charge of this contest, which will take place at the ball park on platform especially constructed for that purpose.
 On the Fourth, the celebration will begin with a parade which will form on the Treadwell plaza at 9 o'clock and march to Natatorium hall, where the literary exercises will consume an hour.
 At o'clock the hose races will start on the Treadwell plaza. The prizes for the wet test will be the same this year as iu the past-32OO first and $1OO sec ond. Another test has been added to the tiremen's sports, in which team of five men will run a line of hose from hydrant to the top of the Treadwell store aud get water.
 Iu the afternoon the sports will be at the Douglas ball grounds. The follow ing events and prizes have been ar ranged for: lst 2nd Meu's race, 100 yds, free for all ,S1o s 5 Marathon race ................ % 10 Mems race, over 50 years. 10 5 Japanese bicycle race ......... 15 10 Boys race, under 15 years. .... 3 ? 10 , 3 2 8 .... 8 ?
