Fourth Of July celebration this year
1t was the first one of it's kind ever
held on the island and it was voted
a great success by all who attended It,
The affair took place on the Sea-
shore Land Company's ground. Dur
ing the afternoon very interesting
baseball game between the Yellow
Sox and Green Sox was played The
mines were made up Of all ages, con-
sistiDg Of one professional and seven
teen amateurs. 1t was close game
and very amusing one because of
the numerous errors made by each
side. Refreshments added to the at
traction and there was a brilliant dis
play Of fireworks which lasted for an
hour or so. This occasion proved so
successful that another of the same
kind will take place next season.
