CARSON'S FOURTH
AN EVENT NEVER
TO BE FORGOTTEN
Three Days Celebration Participated by From 10000 People
-Everyng Success and Everybody SatedNot Accident
Happens Mar the Pleasures the Was Grand
Affair and Never Exceled In the History of the Town

The Fourth of July exercises al
the Grand opera house Sunday after
noon were especially fine and attract
ed large audience. Following d
patriotic selection by the Carson
City band, the program opened with
an invocation by the Rev. L. B.
Thomas, after which Governor Boyle
president of the day, made a short
and interesting address. 1t was also
his pleasure to introduce each partic-
ipant on the program and this he did
in becoming style. Hon H. +. Bar
tine read the Declaration of indie
pendence, prefacing that function
with brief and interesting resume OF
the conditions that brought about the
PRONUNCIATION of that always to be
cherished document.
Mrs. Lois Long Hackett was then
introduced and with her vocal attain
ments captured the audience. She
was down for two numbers on the
program, first singing Rosy Morn,
and Danny Boy and later "Yestef-
day and Today" and Scotch ballad.
Mrs. Hackett possesses a soprano
voice of exceeding richness and
range and the songs which she sang
gave her an opportunity to express
its sympathetic charm. Her singing
was the feature of the program.
Judge Goodwin followed with an
oration, the like of which has not
been heard for many a day in Carson,
but unfortunately his voice failed i'll
penetration and many of his choicest
gems were lost on the audience, but
to remedy that failing the address is
published in full in this issue of the
Appeal.
Hon. Gilbert NJ. Folsom, who with
one other, is the only surviving mem
| Der OF the first constitutional con-
vention held in Nevada, was one OF
| the honored guests on the stage and
| following his introduction gave a
brief recount of early day politics and
| experiences in Nevada.
The poem of the day, The Nation
Birth was delivered in a charming
maner by Mrs. Florence Tucker, anf
was heartily received.
| Benediction was then said by Rev
Father Garland and the crowd dis
persed to the strains of patriotic mu
sic rendered by the band.

The Auto Race

The auto race went off beautifully.
The entries were: No. l. Ford, driv-
en- by Harry Smith, with Howard
Wilson as mechanic; No. 2, Mercer,
Jack Andrews driver, Art Liggett,
mechanic; No. 3, Clark Special ]. d.
Clark driver, Paul Kienapfel mechan-
ic; No. 4, Mercer, Henry Anderson
driver and Chester Meloury mechan-
ic; No. 5. Overland, c. w. Mack,
driver w. Rebury mechanic.
The Ford met with slight acci-
dent at the beginning and did not
start in the race. During the race
Nos. 2 and 3 were disabled and did
not finish thus leaving the runnin2
to Nos and 5. There was much ex-
citement manifested in the qualities
OF these two and some hard driving
was indulged in. but,y fortunately
nothing happened to mar the pleas
, tire OF the people. At the windur
there was some dispute as to who
was the winner owing to the Over
land machine having been delayed OF
the road by one OF the disabled ma
chimes holding the track. The de
cision was finally given to the Mcr
Ger, No. 4, with second money te
the Overland. The time of the race
is given at one hour, sixteen minute:
and thirty-three seconds for the Mer
Ger, and one hour, sixteen minute:
and thrty-six seconds for the Over
land. 1t is impossible, owing to ;
lack OF available space, to give any
thing OF detailed description OF tn
| race.

JUDGE GOODWINS ADDRESS

1t is a custom with some OF our So
cieties to hold an annual memorial
service in honor of the memories CT
their members who have died.
One feature of the service is the
calling Of the names of their dead
and the solemnity is deepened as one
name after another is slowly spoken
and no reply returned.
My soul has been holding that part
OF a memorial service ever since I
reached Carson Looking over the
old scenes here 'all the burial places
OF memory have been giving up their
dead My soul has been calling the
names of the men and women whom
knew and loved here in the long
ago. | wait and listen after each
call, but no answer comes back

rate this world from the beyond
Not even the wireless Of Eternity
returns an answer to my signals.

two generations: The one that, con
fident buoyant, strong and filled
with hope. has come to take up the
work and fill the places made vacant
for their coming; and the other, theii
work finished, who have passed into
the silence and the calm.
These last vouchsafe me no reply

been between the Gardenrville boys
and the prison,nine but the Gardner
willie nine did not appear and Marshal
Grav substituted a picked nine ol

:, good game and won by a score OF

Number of People

1t would be nigh impossible 20
give the number of people who at
tended the celebration, but the most
tempered estimates place it at 5000
and it is likely that it came
nearer reaching 10000. All. trains
were coming in were loaded and at
one time there must have been SIM
autos on the Streets, and allowing
five persons to the auto, it would
figure up $500 auto visitors alone.
1t was an orderly crowd, whose main
purpose seemed to be to have a good
time and pay tribute to the day

Horse Races

The horse races were conducted on
Carson street, after the auto race,
There were not sufficient young
ladies to try for the ladies' purse
and this race was called off. Miss
Dodson. who was there and ready to
run. was allowed to enter the race
for boys, and won it. The second
money went to George Hendricks.
There was some dispute about two
race horses being allowed to run
against the saddle horses and they
were ruled out OF the regular race

event.
The other minor sports, such as

Despite the difficulties and obsta-
cles that beset the Fourth of July
committee when they began their
work, they w6e all overcome, and
Carson, in celebrating the Nation $
birthday, has passed through cycle
Of pleasure, amusement and patriot
ism that was probably unexflled
anywhere in the country. Every
thing passed off without a mtch,
there were no accidents and every
body had a good time. In all, the
town had celebration that will not

| was brooding over these things
last evening when | had the honor
of being presented to Governor
Boyle. | hardly heard his words of
generous welcome when my thoughts
went back instantly to his father as
| saw him last-so sterling a citizen,
so fine gentleman, SO high a soul,
so devoted to duty, so brave in the
buffetings of the frontier, so superb
a type of that royal band that, COM
ing here, changed the frown of the
desert into smiles, drove. back the
desolation that Nature had stationed
here to guard her treasures and from
the sullen mountains brought forth
wealth enough to equip an empire
Indeed, they were royal COM
pany. They seized upon every field
OF human endeavor and filled it. They
made the learned professions radiant
with their names. l read the other
day that in the bloody trenches of
contending armies beyond the sea, in
the pauses of the battles storm, the
books that the soldiers most read
were Mark Twain's.
They stormed the desert mountains
and wrought more miracles in the
working of mines and the reduction
OF ores than all the scientists of the
old and new world had accomplished
in 500 previous years. Emerson said
of one type of man: 'He conquers
because his arrival alters the state of
affairs"
That might be said of those first
corners to Nevada.
They found some obstacles in their
way which it seemed impossible to
surmount; but they surmounted
tnem.
They found some problems that it
seemed impossible to solve; but they
solved the1p And the result was that
in the first few years after their COM

| which was as leaven to the business
of the whole republic; which gave 10
I the men of the east, who had availblt

same time electrify the business OF
the world.
! They made clear, too, that post
/ graduate course devoted TO the study
of the problems that the desert pre-
sented was, SO far as bringing out all
that is in the human mind, higher
course than any taught in the schools
All the time, too, they performed
deeds Of self-sacrifice and self-a'one

stealth, bestowed charities that made

| If they had sorrows, they hid then
in their own breasts and laughed
