Cheers for Athletic ProweSs
Take Place of Snap OF
the FireCraCker.
HUNDREDS OF BOYS RACE
Thirty eight Parks Packed by
Those Who Welcome a New
Celebration of the
Fourth.

Cheers for athletic proves, lusty yells
from thousands of Threats, swelled over
the housetops Of the city yesterday, where
In former years the petulant snap Of the
firecracker, the Kissing of the squib and
the bark Of the pistol had sounded the
nationwide joy Of the glorious Fourth.
In thirty-eight parks Of the five boroughs
thousands gathered to do homage TO the
better physical training of the citizens.
! Altogether, nearly quarter of million
| assembled 20 witness the wonderful car
nival f sport In magnitude. if not in
actual performance, the ancient sports of
Greece and Rome paled into insignificance.
Best of all the idea which Mayor Gaynor
tinaugurated three years ago found its
splendid answer from the people. The
burning of gunpowder had been supplanted
| by something far better, more satisfying,
and which brought it's reward in glittering
medals valuable trophies, and best OF all
In more Widespread knowledge OF the
good of athletics. There were no after
regrets, no remorse for injury-never TO
be healed-and the CHASTITY records Of the
! hospitals were not blot to the nation S
! Joy, as in other years.
I 1t was the contested districts of the city
! that turned out the biggest of the crowds.
/ Seward, Tompkins Square, st. Gabriel, Co
[ lumbus and Hamilton Fish parks, all in the
J lower portion Of Manhattan, teemed with
those enthusiastic for the spirit of sport
Ing contest.
AS for the athletes, they answered the
call of the track as the Minute Men of the
Revolution answered the alarm to arms
( in the stirring times which the day cele-
brated. They came from the Young Mems
f. Christian Associations. the parochial
schools, the Sunday School Athletic
League, the playground boys and the ranks
of the Amateur Athletic Union. There was
an army of champions, title holders in
many branches Of sport All were directed
by Frederick W. Ruben. the secretary Of
the Metropolitan Association of the Anna
teur Athletic Union, in the absence of
James f. Sullivan. who is abroad as the
American commissioner to the Olympic
games in Sweden. During the day he visit
ed each of the places where competitions
were in progress.
There were also athletic games at nine
of the recreation piers. four OF the big
gymnasiums and two Of the city's swim
ming baths, 1t was at Macomb's Dam
Park. and at Chelsea, McCarren and Pas
time oval that the largest Of the athletic
bodies made strife for the prizes. Above
Macomb's Dam park the rails of the
Central Bridge over the Harlem River fur
nished a grandstand for many thousands Ct
spectators. Prominent officials of the city
were at the majority Of the places desig-
mated, and It was evident thut the plan
found popular favor with all
The results at the respective .arks fol-

''The only thing that can in any
way affect the crops of North Dakota
adversely now is the frost or storms, -
said Herb Mott of Charles e. Lewis
& Co, ''and / get this opinion from
the best experts in the entire country
who have been making a special tour
of North Dakota and the western part
OF Minnesota.
with B. w. Snow we drove 125
miles through the Red river valley
country on both sides of the river and
If you found any black rust IL was
because you had to actually hunt for
1t, and even then it was like looking
for a needle In haystack. Even the
red rust WAS very scarce and as this
shows up every year 1t was not a sur
prise, but the surprise came when 80
little of IL was found.
att is the unanimous opinion Of the
experts who have been in the state
within the past day or two that there
isn't a thing can hurt the great crops
Of the state now excepting frost or
storms.
"This will be the biggest crop that
North Dakota has ever had and will
go ahead OF the crops Of twenty and
twenty-five years ago.
Never In all my experience in the
state have / seen such crops as are
in this valley. They are grand, the

stands are clean and the heads strong
and very healthy. The cool weather
that has been given us for the past
two weeks have caused the heads TO
grow and all up as don't believe they
have ever done before, and 1t is my
opinion and the opinion of the ex-
perts with whom / have talked that
the cool weather has added fully two
bushels to the acre all over the state
"The experts have estimated the
wheat crop in the state at from 140,-
100000 to 150,000,000 and they believe
that the last figure will prevail.
There Is absolutely no danger now
from the black rust. The season is
too far advanced for that, and then,
too, as / said before, there is such a
small showing of the black rust as
to be almost imperceptible. No, there
is no danger from that, not BIT.
From all sections Of the state the
same reports come. The scare over
the black rust has simply died with
it's own weight. The general report
that comes ia from inquiries from the
farmers who are in the city from
every quarter of the state is that there
is now no danger from the black rust.
During the latter part Of the week
several pieces OF wheat which were
thought to contain black rust were
taken out to the A. c. and examined
and pronounced not to be black rust
at all"

Another ideal day brought out an

This is the fourth day Of the fair
