HOLIDAY CRUISES TO BEGIN.
Pleasure Craft Will Start This Aft.
erncon on Trips Down River.

1t is probable that this afternoon will
see a general exodus of pleasure craft
for trips down the river over July 4.
Up to this time, while the motor boat
and other pleasure craft owners are
spending much of their idle time aboard
their boats. the high price of gasoline
has kept them from making runs of any
length down the river. Some few go
aboard their craft each evening, run to
some point on the Georgetown channel
anchor and sp.:.i the hot nights where
the river breezes can be felt. but so far
this summer extended cruises have been
few. At the yacht anchorages and
clubhouses it is stated that many of the
boats will make a trip during the
Fourth of July holiday. and for many
it will be the only extended cruise of
the season. The steamboat fines have
arranged attractive schedules for the
days about the Fourth. and the state
rooms for the steamers to Norfolk, Bal
timore and the mouth of the river are

and Many Other Details.
DAY Will Be Notable One.
FORT MYER TROOPERS IN
MAMMOTH RIDING CARNIVAL
Big Athletic Events, Labor Parade
and Patriotic Cbservances on
All-Day Program Here.

Finishing touches yesterday were
given plans for what bids fair to be
the biggest and most enjoyable In
dependence day celebration in the his
tory of the National Capital.
The horse show committee. elated by
the fact that Fort Myer troopers were
to participate in its program, completed
arrangements for a mammoth riding
carnival at Brlghtwood reservoir in the
afternoon. while the athletic and fire
works committees rounded out final
details for the field day meet and pyro-
technical display to be staged during
the morning and evening on the Monu-
ment grounds
These events will compose the mu-
nicipal celebration Tuesday. but the
day will be filled with many other ac
Invites, including suburban community
celebrations. a labor parade and pa
triotic otservances by the Association
of Oldest Inhabitants and other or
CARNATIONS.
With the exception of about $500 the
citizens committee in charge of the
municipal program has sufficient funds
on hand for the carrying out of the
big all-day program. it was announced
L
age will quickly be subscribed.
Big Fireworks Display.
There will be a bigger fireworks dis
play this year than ever before. The
riding carnival will far surpass the
shows of previous years, judging from
the size of the program and number of
entries received and the field day meet
also will be staged on larger scale.
Although the horse show committee.
of which Melvin c. Hazen is chairman.
had arranged for an amateur show that
promised to be up to the average, an
nouncement yesterday that Fort Myer
troopers will participate in the enter
tainment leaves little room for doubt
that il will he one of the greatest eX-
hibitions of the kind ever witnessed in
Washington.
The cavalrymen will be seen in nine
events. the program being larger and
more elaborate in every way than the
entertainment furnished in previous
years by the 5th Cavalry. when that
body of troops was stationed at Fort
Myer and annually contributed to the
local Independence day fetes.
Members of Troop c will open the
military program next Tuesday prompt
" at $50 o'clock with a -saber exer-
else and saddle drill. This will be fol-
lowed by a mounted bareback eXer-
else and a mounted wrestling contest,
