Marred somewhat by the showers
there we're some two thousand peo-
pie there and over 200 autos. There
were 1877 autos on the ground at one
time by actual count. In the par
ade Mr. Chambliss as Uncle Sam.
and Miss Eleanor Tremere as Miss
Columbia, we're appropriately COS
TUNED and took their parts very
well, managing the horses easily
and without danger to the onlook-
ers. S. M. Thomas, a veteran of
the civaI war, gave the bugle calls
at the speakers stand. Rev S. E.
Lawhon made very appropriate
invocation, followed by very in
teresting address by Colonel R. F.
Rogers of Ocala, who was followed
by Hon. B. Johnson, president
of the state senate, who before his
address Was finished was obliged to
discontinue talking for a time on ac-
count of the rain. Other addresses
were made by Hon. N. j. Wicker of
Coleman, and Mrs. w. T. Gary of
Ocala, ali very entertaining speak
ers. Rev. Mr.. Lawhon told about
the soldier songs sung overseas and
sang one bf them in a very pleasing
manner. After which soldiers of the
civil, Spanish and . German wars
formed in line near the flag pole and
after remarks by Mr.. Lawhan for th
Belleview Workers, who presented
the town With a fine U. S. flag, that
had been presented to them by Mrs.
Louis Smith, a winter, resident,
Councilman E. S. French for the
town received the flag in well chos-
en- wordsa after which the soldiers
ran the flag to the top of the tall
flag pole, the spectators removing
their hats. In all of the day no sign
of disloyalty to the United States
was shown. The people all of the
day were good natured and orderly
At this time dinner was served, of
which there was an abundance for
all. The meat was well cooked and
was being done justice to when the
rain causdh people to hunt the shel-
ter of houses, autoes, etc. This will
be avoided at the next barbecue, as
a large pavilion, at least one hum
dred feet square will be built, the
committee now having more than
two hundred dollars for that purpose.
After dinner there was speaking,
with games, etc. The baseball games
were played on the bali grounds. In
the first game-Sparr and Oak-the
former won s to 3; second game
sparr and Pedro Spar again won,
Is to 0.
The delay in starting the parade,
showers of rain and the absenle of
cups for coffee were about the only
drawbacks. sAnothers season the ta-
bles should he covered with white
paper, as the food and rain about
ruined some bf the table cloths
The members of the several COM
mittees are deserving of much praise.
They did their work well, and the
outing was great success. The oc-
cupants of the refreshment stand for
the benefit of the barbecue we're kept
very busy and a neat sum was reafz-
ed.

B. N. Tannet was general manag-

and ably discharged
their duties.
