Glorious Fourth

The celebration at Friday Harbor
on the Fourth is said to have been
the most satisfactory and enjoyable
in its history, and those fortunate
enough to be here may have pleas
ant recollections in their minds on
future occasions. The weather was
perfect for carrying out splendid
program thou t discomfort =
cloudy most Of the day, with tenn
perature just right. Not hitch
or jar occurred during all the day
to mar it's pleasures.
The crowd went early to the ball
grounds to witness the various con-
tests, and at noon repaired to the
school house grove for the barbe-
cue, where the meats, bread. coffee,
milk. etc. were ready for the hun :
cry hundreds. The program COM
mittee is to be congratulated on the
success of this feature.
Soon after lunch the ball game
between Gerard's Tigers and the
West Sound team was called. 10
many this was the event OF the day,
because of the spirit OF rivalry
which has existed from former
games between Friday Harbor and
West Sound. Last year the latter
team was victorious. and it was
felt that the result would be differ
ent this time. Notwithstanding It
was understood that the visitors
we're securing the best outside tai
ent available) because the Tigers
with their regular lineup were un-
beatable by any aggregation not IN
constant practice. From the begin
ming it was apparent that West
Sound was doomed to defest.
