While Fireworks Are Best fyd Set Off i'm This Cty

The Glorious Fourth was indeed
glorious in Twin Falls despite efforts
of J. Pluvius to discourage the Wis
itOrs with slight showers In the after
noon and evening. Fully five thousand
visitors attended from all parts Of the
Twin Falls country Excursion trains
poured the people into the city from
all directions.
The program which began with a
concert at nine in the morning by
Twin Falls famous band, gave the
crowd a fOretaste of one of the best
celebrations ever given in Twin Falls.
The automobile parade with fully
sixty cars in line showed number of
beautifully decorated floats, which
were generously applauded by the
spectators Some difficulty was ex-
perienced in assembling the cars so
that the parade did not create the inn
ipression it should have under ordinary
circumstances. The people who en-
tered their cars are entitled to the
thanks of the citizens of Twin Falls
for their loyalty.
The judges awarded the prizes for
best decorated autos to c. E. Booth,
first; Mrs. ]. B. McLain and John w.
D. Smith second; Mrs. Reese NJ Will
liams, third. Many other cars were
deserving of mention while not receiv-
ing any Of the prizes.
Free Ice Cream to the Riddles
One of the most interesting sights
and one that brought smiles to the
faces of the children was the dfstribu-
tion of ice cream cones under the able
A{root{0r ~ vryh0 nj
ly thousand children were lined up
at one time awaiting their turn.
The Twin Falls band divided the
honors with Hon. Addison T. Smith In
the early afternoon in the city park,
when the assembly listened to some
spirited music and an inspiring ad-
dress by Twin Falls congressman.
Mr.. Smith had charm of manner and
ease of delivery that made 1t pleas
ure to listen to him and the applause
tiOnal topics showed that he was in
close teach with public sentiment
Buhl Badly Beaten.
The baseball game between Buhl
and Twin Falls drew one of the big
gest crowds ever, due to the rivalry
between the two towns. Buhl boosters
were there in abundance to help win
the game but were unable to put 1t
over Twin Falls easily won with
Hart In the box by score of 8 to 8.
Up to the eighth inning Buhl was un-
able to get man across the plate,
while Twin Falls won the game in
the early innings by consistent hitting.
Kelly, the doughty twirler from the
west end, was not any terror to the
locals who found him easily. In the
eighth Bull by punching hits and by
an error were able to score three
men.
A Novel Feature.
| A new stunt for the celebration this
year was the daylight fireworks in
which all kinds Of gaily colored ami
mails were shot into the air to delight
the little folks. This was in charge
of G. c. Stiffler.

by all ages and sexes, proved very di-
verting and every event found large
number OF contestants entered. These
events under the efficient management
! Of Mayor Sweefey and l. T.. Wright
went off without hitch The follow
ing were the prize winners.
