| The Fourth this year will be as &C
tive day as ever and one on which
| the date of the birth Of our great
| United States shall be duly celebrated.
| 1t is much safer that the children see
the celebration than actually endeav-
or to celebrate themselves by means
! of tirecrackers, for through such cele-
bration many people are injured.
ROthschild pavilion will be the
scene of an annual celebration on the
| Fourth. There will be fireworks ga
| lore and everything to make the day
a success. There will be amusements
| for all, old and young. and every eff
fort will be made to make the cele-
bration of the Fourth both patriotic
and pleasing. On the fourth and
fifth the grand encampment of the
state militia will take place. The
soldiers will camp on the park grounds
and will live in exactly the same man
ner as if they were on the field. Dur
ing the two days they will be here,
conditions of actual warfare will be
depicted, showing every phase of bat
tie and field work. Three companies
of militia will participate in this.
Sunday afternoon there will be a
naval demonstration. A portion of
the militia will be stationed across
the river and will be brought to the
island by means of launches. During
the maneuverS they will build pom
| tOOn bridge across the bay and make
bayOnet charge on the entrenched
forces at the top of the hill near the
| pavilion. 1t will be a strenuous bat
tie and well worth witnessing. In
the evening the companies will enter
tain by drill.
The features Monday will be the
sham battle, the atheletic field meet
under the direction of r. III. Starke
of the Y. M. @. A, band concerts,
motor boat races and many other
things.
! The fair grounds will also be the
scene of much excitement as mid
the fifth and sixth. There will be six
races with 81, 800 in purses. On Mon
there will be three races-2:17 pace
with a purse of $500, the 2:24 trot
with purse of $500, the 2:30 trot
with the same purse. On Tuesday
there will also be three races-the 2:13
pace, the PIT trOt and the 2:25 pace,
all with purses of $500.
The Country club will celebrate on
| Monday and in the evening, fireworks
will be set off from the island near
the club. The celebration will last
all day during which golf will be
played. All the members Of the club
! and their families are invited to be
present.
Besides these, there will undoubtedly
be many who will go on picnics to the
numerous beautiful spots within
reach. We can all join together with
the approach of the day in hoping
that enough care will be taken to
avert the usual injuries.
This morning it was noticed that
one of the large windows in the
Record Herald office was busted clean
out. There is much Specula-
tion as to whether it is. a con-
flict between the two factions of the
republican party or violation of neu-
trality that produced it. A safe mot
to to stick to is mot to shove unless
being showed"
