The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1917-07-03
The Fourth in Mount Holly,

The celebrations of tomorrow in
Mount Holly will be varied and enter
tanning. Whether the general desire
to omit the usual noisy demonstrations
and burning Of powder will be respect
ed is to be seen.
In the morning there will be cere-
monies attending the stretching of
flags across High street. A rope will
be hung from the roof of the Mirror
building to the roof of the Gaskill
building and the Stars and Stripes,
the British and French flags will be
suspended from it. There will be
street parade of patriotic societies prior
to the flag hanging, with the R. d.
Wood band. of Florence, furnishing
the music. The parade will form at
the court house, march to the fountain,
and return to the place of the flag
raising. After these exercises there
will be band concert.
The flags will be thrown to the air
about ten o'clock. Rev. Henry Teller
Cooke, Of St. Andrews church, and
former Assemblyman Peacock, are ex-
pected to deliver addresses. 1t is also
hoped to have the school children sing
patriotic songs. Willard F. Lippincott
will preside, and make the opening
address.
The balance of the day will be de.
voted to sports that may appeal to the
individual tastes, and there will doubt
less be many picnics and boating
parties on the creek, as manager Hack
has had numerous applications for his
fleet of canoes.
AT THE FAIR GROUND
The managers of the Burlington
County Fair Association have made
extensive preparations for a good after
noon Of sport at the fair ground to-
morrow afternoon. At 1.3O horse rae
ing will begin. Over so horses have

is no doubt there will be unusual inter
est displayed along this line.

The base ball game between Mount
Holly and Riverside will be played on
the fair ground, instead of on the High
street field. This will be highly in
teresting event as Riverside has been
sire ngthened greatly since it was here
a few weeks ago and will give the
home team sharp struggle. BY COM
bining the ball game with the program
of the Fair Association there ought to
be good crowd brought out.
The admission to all the sports will |
be % cents, which is the price general
ly charged for one. The r. d. Wood |
band, of Florence, will furnish music,
and the trolley company will be pre-
pared to take care of all who may de-
sire to use its cars
