CELEBRATE WITH US,

1t would be difficult to say anything
new under the head of 4th of July Gel
ebration that would convey t. the
reader any stronger impression as to
what Oroville Is to put up in the way
OF a public demonstration, next Thus
day and Friday, han has already been
stated at length in these columns.
Probably the most comprehensive dec
laration, and one that would put the
public directly against the full par
ticulars, would be repetition of ono
OF the catch lines in the big poster
which reads "see small bills for COM
plete program. The small bills are
out. in patriotic colors, and they set
forth in detail what may be expected
in the way of entertainment, excite
nent and pleasure at this place on the
great national holiday, two of them
for that matter on this particular oc-
caSion. The list of what Is to be done
includes features common to celebra-
tions, but in this case they will prove
TO be uncommon on account of the;
excellency. There will be horse races
to interest lovers of that old tine and
popular line OF sport. The races that
will come Off in Oroville will be in
teresting because some good stock will
be entered, and furthermore the best
horse Will win In every event, for there
will be judges in whom the public
have confidence. and who will see that
the races are fairly conducted. There
will be base ball games between clubs
so well balanced that the question of
victory will hardly be settled until the
last man is out. Base ball has become
the one great sport that pleases the
multitude. and there is hardly any
contest OF skill that is more popular
nowadays. Then there will be numer-
Gus water contests and this is a novel
ty from which much pleasure can and
will be derived. Oroville is fortunate
ly situated for boat races. swimming
and diving contests, an advantage it
holds over other localities. Mixed and
mingled between the chief features
will be minor sports, too numerous to
mention. At night there will be
social dance and fireworks. Which
does not mean that the two will be
mingled together and displayed under
the same roof, but will come in regu-
lar order SO that everybody will have
chance to enjoy one or both. This
kind of program makes happy
combination that can hardly fail to
please people of all tastes,> ssci ~ YOU
do not like the one you will the other,
and there you are, If you are so for
tunate as to be there, and of course
you will. = - '--
Visitors will meet with a cordial
welcome from the town people, and
be treated right. Every sport will be
conducted on the square, as sports
should be. and the winner will win on
merit. The several committees having
charge Will make 1t point to see that
no unnecessary delay causes tiresomc
waits, and from the coming up to the
going down of the sun pleasure will
be on tap and rule supreme.

year in this immediate vicinity there

Vile on the 4th and 5th. A cordial |
