Rose got first money with his Oldsmobile, as the oldest automobile able to | run under it's own power. The judges of the parade, who | occupied seats on the revie wing stand, were T. J. Wylie, Geo. H. Fiedler, J. F. Johnson, Newt. | Mercer, l.. H. WatkinsA w. E. Karns, w. H. Florentine, Monty Fariss, Tom Cumming.
 After the parade passed the revie wing stand, Hon. Frank J. Barry introduced General Alvaro Obregon, who made a short ad- dress during which be said he wished to send, through the peo- pie of Nogales, Arizona, 0 mes sage of brotherhood to the American people in the name of his fellow citizens. He said his country would gladly throw open it's frontiers to all good men.
 A translation of the generals speech appears in an other col umn of this paper.
 From the reviewing stand Gen. Obregon went to the plaza in Nogales, Sonora, where he made speech to his own people, and hundreds of our citizens repair ed to the Royal Theatre, to listen to the patriotic exercises, which were presided over by Judge Frank J. Duffy.
 Music was furnished by the 25th Infantry Band.
 The Declaration of Indepen- dence was read by Hon. Frank J. Barry.
 Colonel Chas. E. Hardy de- livered the Fourth of July ad dress in his usual forcetul. brill liant pleasing manner. His sub ject was Consuming Ideals of Americans, and the Glory of the Flag"
 The patriotic exercises closed with the singing of America, :" by the audiance.
 The baseball game in the afternoon between the Nogales Dodge Brothers team and the J. D. Haistead Lumber Company's nine, was won by the Nogales boys.
 The ten round boxing contest at the Moptezuma Hotel Pavil- lion, in the evening, between Lee Morrissey of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Tommy Nelson of, El Paso, Texas, was witnessed by a big crowd of fans from all over Arizona.
 The six round semi final go between Theda Bara and Young Moreno, was fast and furious. Nobody hurt, and bout declared a draw.
 The f round bout between the Polin Twins, clever sons of MT. and Mrs. Joe Polin, was the best number on the program, and alone we'll worth the price. The youngsters are wonders; they have science and are unafraid. The fans showed their apprecia- tion by giving them shower of silver dollars, at the end of the bout, which was draw.
 The main event proved Q big disappointment to both the man. agement and the public. It should have been called "The end of a perfect day"
 The Idaho boy Lee Morrissey, a finished. very clever, scientific fighter, at all times cool and con- fident, probably has forgotten more about the manly art of self defense, than Tommy Nel- son ever knew. Even before Nelson stepped into the ring, the money was Morrissey's. The Ell Paso "heel and toe dancer" at no time had a possible chance to win. Tommy fought like a kid chased by bees, and repeat edly fouled his clever, patient opponent, who generously re- trained from beating him to death. After the third foul in the seventh round, the Idaho boy got the decision on a foul. No one blamed Nelson. They felt sorry for him.
 It was the Fourth of July every body was good natured.
 The celebration ended with a big free dance at the Mon tezuma Hotel Pavilion, which was en- joyed by hundreds who will long pleasantly remember the three day international Fourth of July celebration held in Nogales, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty.
