The Fourth
The celebration of the Fourth
Of July in this city yesterday
passed off as ideal as any ore
could wish for. While the day
was extremely hot, the hottest
80 tar this season in fact, still
all seemed to enjoy themselves
to the fullest extent.
The first thing on the pro-
gram was the street parade
headed by the band and follow
I'd by the fire department, auto
mobiles and carriages. The
fire wagon was most profusely
and artistically decorated in
the national colors showing a
great deal of work and time
had been spent in the work.
This took first prize while the
Chas Deur car took second and
w j. Roden third. Nearly
everyone followed the parade
to the city park where basket
], dinners were the order Of the
day beneath the cooling shac e
of the trees.
4 Promptly at 1870 the sports
began and resulted as follows:
Boys race. Bertelson, S.
j. Dawson, Tom Sigler G. Croft
hers.
Girls race Marie Dawson
and Doris Seal tied for first,
OPAL Nc 5une Catherine Ryan.
Fat m ms race. Dodd, j.
Mintun, C. A. Mace and L R
Adams.
Potato race-Harlan Pike,
Earl Hirst, Alfred Dobbins,
Andrew Purcell.
| Mems race-Frank Noyes, w.
j. Ryan, H. j. Matthews, Geo.
Foreman.
/ First Pony race Clay Jones,
John Christman, Jim Murphy,
Jim Brown. Second pony race
resulted the same as the first.
Following the races the ball
game between Woodbine and
this city kept the spectators on
their feet for an hour and a
half. The game was an excep-
tionally good one and but for
an error in the last half of the
ninth would probably have
been going on still. The fra
, score was 4 to 3 in favor of Mo
Valley. The batteries were
Lacy and Cromie for Woodbine
aud Deal and | a,y for Mo. Val
ley. At dark the fireworks
were shot off at the park and
q good crowd was on hand to
see them. After that the illu
m mated fire run was given anC
as always, this was a hair raiser
The team comes plunging dow1

can run, the wagon a mass Of

The water figh. in the morning
resulted in a victory for tn

J. evening between the city fir

suited in a tie. No accident.
and no arrests surely mark
safe and sane Fourth in thi
