That the celebration to be held on
the fifth Of July at Glasgow will be
the biggest ever is now an assured
fact.
AS none of the other towns along
the Great Northern are celebrating
this year, hundreds of people will be
attracted to Glasgow to aid in OBJ
serving the Nations birthday.
By special arrangement with the
Great Northern, special rate of a
fare and one third for the round trip
has been secured. This rate will be
in effect for the three days and should
prove big inducement to the people
along the line to come to Glasgow and
have a good time. A special invi-
tation is extended to the people in
Sheridan county to take advantage of
the low railroad fare and come to
Glasgow, where they will be royalty
entertained.
The people Of Malta are figuring
on coming down en- masse in a special
train, which will make stops at var
ious towns along the line to take on
additional passengers. The delega-
tion from Phillips county will be
large one and they will unite with
Glasgow, in Old Valley County to
appropriately observe the day.
A fine program has been arranged
for entertaining the visitors during
the three days. The baseball tourna-
ment will begin on Saturday with
Malta, Nashua, Saco and Glasgow
competing for the big purse. On Sun
day there will be two ball games
which should be worth coming miles
to see, as the rivalry between the
teams is intense and each game should
be close.
On Monday, the fifth, which will
be the big day of the celebration there
will be ball game in the morning at
ten o'clock and in the afternoon, the
teams ahead in the series will battle
for the championship and the purse.
There will be several bands in the
city during the celebration, as Saco
and Malta each figure on bringing
their city bands along with them. The
Glasgow band will give daily con-
certs and with the aid of the two
bands from the other towns, should
be able to furnish plenty of music for
the occasion.
The Fourth of July Committee has
been distributing the large colored
posters this week and numerous other
advertising stunts are now under way
to let the people in northeastern Mon
tana know that Glasgow will be the
only Give" town along the line on
July 5th this year.
i For the fifth of July, the committee
has arranged series of events that
will keep everybody on the jump from
daybreak until late at night. Follow.
ing the ball game in the morning
there will be display of daylight fire.
works, and number of athletic
events. Following the ball game in
the afternoon, wild west show will
be staged in the ball park. There
will be many noted riders here on that
day to compete for the prizes in the
bucking and roping contests and the
committee has already got line or
several "outlaw" bronchos for then
to ride. There will also be a bull
dogging contest which in itself wi
be worth coming miles to see. There
will be many other amusement feat
ures, such as the tug of war, tn.
creased pig and other events tina
will help to make the celebration on,
to be long remembered by those VIII
attend.
