LARGE CROWD ENJOYS
 ANNUAL. CELEBRATION

With large number of visitors in town from Fairbanks and numerous camps along the railroad, Nenana is celebrating Independence Day in a manner that is decidedly creditable to those in charge of the festivities. The program as a whole is a better one than any previously arranged with a number of features of excep- tional merit, all of which are being greatly enjoyed.
 The celebration started on Tues day evening with a number of track events on A street, followed by a feature picture at the Coliseum, dur ing the course of which Miss Cecil Leweaux, eontralto, made her first appearance in Interior Alaska, in a number of classical selections which u
 were very much enjoyed. Miss Lew eaux is a real artist, with a won derfully sweet voice with which Is combined a pleasing personality which has won her many friends dur ing the brief time she has been in Nenana. Miss Leweaux was heard again last night, in an exclusive con- cert program and she will make her final appearance tonight, singing a number of the old songs, including The Rosary, "Comin Through the Rye" and Loves Old Sweet Song" Miss Leweaux and her mother Dr. Lewewaux, and her accompanist, Miss Winnifred Woreu plan to re- turn to the coast tomorrow, enroute to their homes in Portland.
 The first dance of the celebration took place on Tuesday night, bring ing the first day 10 very success ful close. Another and very largely attended dance was given last night both of the dances being given un- der the auspices of the Nenana Base ball boys.
 ! Yesterdays festivities started in the morning with a patriotic pro gram under the direction of Mrs. A. B. Phillips and Mrs. ". C. Stein metz. There was an invocation by Rev. Robert G. Tatum who also read the Declaration of Independence and sn address Of welcome by Frank Teufel, Mayor, followed by singing Of The Star Spangled Banner by the pupils of Franklin K. Lane An in teresting feature of the exercises was the excellent music provided by the Nenana Brass band.
 i The Fairbanks train arrived short ly before noon. bringing the Fair banks ball team and a number of fans, and the opening game of the series between the visitors, and the

local nine took place at Athletic park during the aftemon, result ing in very one-sided score of which the Fairbanks team had very much the long end. The outstanding fea- lures of the game were the heavy hitting of the Fairbanksans and the poor fielding of the Nenana boys De Witt and Wood were the battery for the visitors and Hupprich and Blakey for the Nenana team. It was an of day for Nenana, but the home boys are hopeful of making better showing this afternoon in the second game of the series, which was in progress at the eime of going to press
 Aviator Ben Eileson, who is down on the program for the main event of the celebration, arrived from Fairbanks shortly after ten o'clock having made the trip from Fair banks to Nenana, with R. C. Wood as a passenger, in the new Curtis plane which arrived from the States last Saturday. The arrival of the plane was somewhat delayed by a detour on the trip down. Aviator Eileson having missed Nenana by considerable margin, going as far south as Clear creek before dfscov- ering his mistake. He covered about twice the distance necessary.
 There was many people at the park to welcome the first plane to land in Nenana and they were treat ed to a splendid sight, the trim lit- tie craft making several circles g. round the town before descending gracefully to the landing field. hr. Wood developed case of air sickness during the descent to the field and had to be lifted from she plane, but be recovered quickly after getting his feet on the ground.
 Aviator Eleson is scheduled for a spectacular aerial exhibitor this afternoon CT evening the time of his flight depending upon weather con- ditions, and he will return to Fair banks after the exhibition is con- cluded. The Nenana exhibition will include all kinds of tunting and will mark the first appearance of an a. viator in Alaska in that kind of flying.
 Another of the star features of the celebration was staged at Union hall last night in connection with the dance was the fancy roping ex- hibition given by Miss Jane Der noudy, of Seward, who has the distinction of being the champion woman lariat artist of the world, and who has had a notable career in movie and rodeo work in Califor- nia and elsewhere. Her exhibition last night was a finished perform ance, the first of the kind ever seen in Interior Alaska, and it proved a rare treat to the many who were present in the hall. Miss Bernoudy uses a number of ropes of different lengths in the course of her exhibition, finishing with sixty feet of lariat. One of her special stunts is to spin rope blindfolded jumping through the loop apparent ly with as much ease as she does without rhe blind. Her entire ex- hibition went over without a hitch and she was the recipient of enthu- siastic applause She is scheduled to appear again this afternoon a- the park and possibly will give final exhibition on A street this evening. She will return to Seward tomorrow.
