5000 CELEBRATE IN BARTON
Beautiful Display of Fireworks in
Evening and Day of Sport
for Crowds.

Evening and Day of Sport
for Crowds.
From the time of the parade at
10 o'clock until the last firework
piece was set off about $50 o'clock,
there was action in the Barton
Fourth of July celebration Tuesday.
The parade itself was not large
owing to the bad weather the day
previous and the threatening condi-
tions but in quality it was pronounc-
ed good. There were decorated cars
and business floats representing busi-
ness concerns, mostly in Barton. The
Clyde River Power Co., of Newport
had truck load of men representing
this concern. The large prizes offer
ed by the Fair Association should
have attracted more people to enter
individuals ought to have displayed a
streets were crowded with cars from
far and near and the judges, Charles
Hunt of Derby Line, DIR. Burke and H.
B. Stewart of Beebe,, Que, awarded
the first prize of $75 to Mrs. G. T.
Miles, the second prize of $50 to Miss
Mary Uric, and the third prize to
the R. p. Webster truck.
The Miles car was trimmed with
white apd yellow and contained the
words, Barton, July A." on the side.
The Uric car was trimmed in yellow
and violet, trimmed with chrysanthe-
NUNS of those colors. The Webster
truck was built up and carried chill
dren, the decorations being in red,
white and blue Among the other
numbers worthy of mention was the
c.. S. Phillips Co., taxidermists,S of
Glover, the Donald Mfg. Co. float
the Whitcher truck and Lang's jew
elry Store car There was num-
Der. of others in the parade, several
bicycles and ponies and one fine hor-
rible.
The parade formed near the freight
depot and went to the fair grounds,
marshalled by Mr.. Emery.
When the parade broke up theI
baseball game between Newport and
st. Johnsbury started. For the first
three innings the game was some
what loose, Newport throwing the
game to ST. Johnsbury early by er-
rors, and st. Johnsbury was able to
hit safely, while Newport could not
seem to hit. We are unable to give
the game in detail but the final re-
suit was a score of 6 to 3 in favor OF
ST. Johnsbury.
The Barton and Orleans bands fur
nished music from parade time until
after the fireworks and the almost
continuous music added much to the
pleasure of the day.
