NOACCIDENTS MAR
CELEBRATION OF DAY
Dempsey-Wi||ard and Stecher'
Lewis Matches Hold Crowds
in Downtown Streets Eagerly
Waiting for the Returns.

A truly glorious Fourth OF July
was yesterday in Omaha. With
most of the boys back from the
service and with an almost endless
number of attractions arranged tor
the day in Omaha, the celebration
of 1919 was one to be remembered
a long time.
The weather was propitious. Al
though at times black clouds threat
ened, only a little rain came to
dampen the spirits and clothes OF
the vast crowds in city and amuse'
ment parks and on the streets.
Of course, the main question
among the men and boys was
who's going to win, Dempsey OF
Willard, Stecher or Lewis?"
And among the women and girls
the principal problems we're those
connected with the picnic lunch
and whether Gladys should not
wear her old shoes instead of her
white ones because ut might rain.
Real Sane Fourth.
1t was decidedly a safe and sane
Fourth. No accidents of any con-
sequence caused by fireworks or fire
arms were reported UP to midnight
This record is remarkable compared
to other years.
Many people remarked upon the
almost entire absence of frecrackers
and other noise making explosives
A few years ago the GLORIOUS
Fourth" was like one long, continu-
Gus battle with explosions, big and
little, going on, far and near, from
morning to night, and the streets lit
tered with debris of the shattered
hrecrackers.
Yesterday the explosion of a FIRE
cracker was rare thing. 1t seemed
that frecrackers have gone out OF
style, and many father and mother
expressed delight that the children
have turned to wiser, but just as
pleasant, ways to celebrate the
Fourth.
The street railway company put
out every car that it could man in
the afternoon and evening to trans
port the huge crowds going to
Krug park, Manawa park, Fonten-
ellie park, Carter lake and all the
other centers of amusement.
Postpone Pools Opening.
At Manawa, dancing, boating,
bathing and the big seaplane were
the attractions. Krug park was
filled with a crowd that danced and
viewed the fearless Greggs and
waited for the mammoth new bath
ing pool to open. "The ppool was
scheduled to open at l o'clock in
the afternoon. But the demand for
100000 gallons was too great. 1t
could not be filled in time and the
opening was postponed until ]
o'clock this afternoon, when it will
surely open" Manager Kenyon says
Fontenelle Park Celebration as
sociation added to the reputation
which it already had as a big Fourth
of July celebrator. An immense
crowd was in this beautiful park all
sides the sky fireworks, there were
day. Ball games, morning aud af-
ternoon; races and other athletic
contests for men and women, boys
and girls; fireworks afternoon and
evening and band playing all day
made real celebration.
The afternoon fireworks, set off
at 800 o'clock, were of amazing
