For interior decorations, there were not so many competitors. The show window of C. w. YOung's, however, was an object of much interest throughout the day. There is a re production of a Puck cover design showing the Balls Eye View" of the New York polo grounds, with hotly contested baseball game in progress. The ball is shown in mid air out over center field and exaggerated to nat ural size with the diamond and play CTS shrunken to the size they would appear if a person were with the ball. The picture is entitled July f, 1913. There is an accompanying picture showing Uncle Sam" with a card July 4. 1776 and face of Washington, Between the two pictures large, stuffed American eagle holds red. white and blue ribbons in his mouth connecting the two pictures. The col ored crayon work of both pictures was done by W. J. (Johnny) Harris. son of Richard Harris, one of the founders of Juneau. The pictures are a real wrOk of art.

Juneau Celebrates
 Independence Day

The celebration of Independence Day in Juneau yesterday was marked by the attendance of enormous crowds at all points where the sporting events were being pulled off. It is estimated that the attendance at the baseball park was between three and four thousand. Matt Stanley, who has been watching baseball crowds for To, these many years, says there were $500 watching the ball game. The weather man was kind. While the sun did not shine much especially in the afternoon neither did it rain-until the people had returned to town and were in doors. A sharp shower lasting only a few minutes was succeeded by clear weather for the big tug-of-war on Front street
 The ferry service was over taxed de spite the fact that three boats were on the run Hundreds of people took the ferries to Douglas for the morning game of baseball and more hundreds took those same ferries from Doug las to Juneau to witness the second game on this side of the channel and for other sources of entertainment
 Elks' hall in the evening was one grand crush of joyous dancers. The spacious auditorium has shrunken far below the capacity that will hereafter be demanded by Juneau for public functions. Many strangers were pres ent and all were having a good time The music was furnished by Winn's eight-piece orchestra.
 The high school band was out all day and did not stint in their work of enlivening the day with good music. In the forenoon the band went to Douglas and played during the pro gress of the game on the Douglas grounds after which they returned and making a hasty lunch paraded to the park followed by a large crowd. Here tOfOre Juneau has imported music on holidaps. The innovation of giving the preference to home talent has resulted in encouraging the band boys to re- newed efforts toward becoming a real ly first class musical organization.
 There was very little drunkenness visible. Captain Martin says that the day went off splenddly. There were seven or eight special officers on duty. but they had little to do beyond keep ing the crowds back during the sport ing events.
 Nothing happened during the entire day to mar the joy that was every where present. The Safe and Sane ordinance passed by the city council a few weeks ago was an added safe guard against accidents and other un- pleasantness. The holding of the sports on the ball park was another happy idea. It would have been i'm possible for the enormous crowds that were present to have witnessed the events had they been held. as usual, in down town streets.

NATIVES WIN AT
 TUG OF WAR
O-o

One of the most exciting contests of yesterdays sports was the tug-of-war battle between teams of ten men each representing the Finnish inhabitants of Gastineau channeland the Juneau natives. It required one hour and fifty five minutes to settle the mastery, and then the victory wen to the Indians.
 The Indians were explained by Sew ard Kunz, and his teams average weight was 15O pounds The white men were in command of Al. Luntz- man, and they averaged 1S0 pounds in weight The contest was waged on Front street between Main and Sew ard streets, and the Occidental hotel balcony and windows and the windows and roofs of all other available build ings were crowded with spectators.
 The white men got a slight advan- tage in the first few minutes of the contest that then settled into an en- durance test that continued at a stand still for an hour and three-quarters. The white men finally were forced to give away, and the Indians gained the victory mid tremendous cheering, just and hour and fifty minutes after the pulling began.
 The native team is practically the same one that has won all the tug-of- war contests at Juneau for the last several years.
