BICYCLE RACES FOB THE FouRTH

One of the really interesting fea-
lures arranged for next Tuesday, July
4,h, will be the bicycle races to be
run around the public square, begin
ming at 1:30 p. m.
These races are open to all entrants,
young or old, fat or lean, and have
been divided up into several classes,
SO that it gives all a fair chance to
participate.
The Condor bicycle shop and the
Brigham bicycle shop have donated
handsome prizes to be contested for,
and besides these a number of other
very useful prizes have been donated
by the manufacturers of and dealers
in bicycle supplies, and every one of
the prizes will be we'll worth the ef-
fort made to secure it.
These races will no doubt attract
large crowd, and fun galore is promis-
ed all who happen to be on the square
at the start as well as at the finish of
the races. and all will be over in time
to take in the ball game with the Lees
burg team in the afternoon.
Another drawing card on the pro-
gram for the Fourth viii be the water
battle between the flre boys of Lees
burg and the local fire department.
Ocala will use her new fire fighting
truck and pump to take part in the
battle, and Leesburg will have on the
ground her high powered truck and
pump. We have not learned at Just
what hour this contest will be pulled
of, but it probably will be late in the
afternoon on the public square.
With the program as arranged the
visitors to the city as well as the home
folks will be handed out some really
amusing entertainment.

tongue) every ten years. They have
faithfully kept that vow, except that
events following the war prevented its
presentation in 1920 and it was de-
layed two years. The auditorium holds
1000 visitors, and many Americans
are there this year The actors are

MAKING RAPID PROGRESS

Under the personal supervision of
City Manager Brumby Main street
has been graded and rolled and is now
almost ready for the concrete blocks
that will be laid thereon. There has
for some time been a large force of
men at work on this street, and as it
is one of the most important streets
in the city when completed it will add
materially to the comfort as well as
convenience of persons entering Ocala
from the north.
Washington street, between Main
street and Magnolia has been graded,
rolled and leveled, and Tuesday the
laying of the blocks was begun and
finished completely in one day. This
we consider a splendid piece of work.
making an excellent street where
heretofore it was almost impossible,
especially in rainy weather, as it was
of mixture of lime and clay, and
in dry weather the dust was sitting.
This little piece Of completed street
willN give long suffering public an
idea of what is really meant by good
streets, and we only hope that we may
be spared long enough TO see every
principal street in our beloved little
city paved either with concrete blocks
or something equally as substantial
We have made start in the right

first made with only the water pres

citizens an idea of what we have here

pressure was good, but when the big
pump was started the water was then
thrown nearly twice as high, and with
force enough to tear an ordinary
house down, and the fire laddies had
to brace themselves in order 10 hold
the nozzle.
The large crowd that soon congre-

with much interest the splendid work
