OF
ClNCO De MAYO
STARTS WELL
u A
GRAND BALL WAS A
BRILLIANT GATHERING
National Mexican Holiday Is
Observed with Program that
Insures a Good Time.

The initial festivities with
which the celebration of Cinco
de Mayo was inaugurated yes
terday fully justify the predic-
tion that today will witness one
of the most notable observances
of this historic anniversary.
The festival spirit began to
manifest itself early in the af1
ernoon, and by the time the
grand ball opened in the Hidalgo
theater, it was plainly to be seen
that practically the entire city
on the southern side of the in
'ternational boundary was to be
well represented.
There were many visitors
from outside the city, and the
arrangements were so perfect
that all were made to feel that
!Nogales, Sonora, was keeping
open house for all who chose to
unite with the city south of the
line in celebrating this great ma
tional anniversary.
With all the festivities, it has
not been forgotten that the
event commemorated is of seri-
Gus import in Mexican history,
and the program today will give
appropriate emphasis in many
ways to the historic features Of
the celebration.
No patriotic citizen will ever
need to be reminded of the sig
nificance of Cinco de Mayo.
More than half-century ago
/ General Saragossa defeated the
French in the battle of Sierra del
Guadalupe, and made Mexican
independence a possibility.
The bale last evening was an
especially brilliant affair, and
seldom has the northern metrop-
oils of Sonora seen such a repre-
sentative gathering of it's peo-
pie as was present at Theater
Hidalgo.
Great credit is due to the au-
thorities of our neighboring city
for the competent manner in
(which the crowds were handled.
There was no confusion or dis
order at any time.
