Thousands Spend Fourth at
Summer Resorts,
NO ACCIDENTS REPORTED
'Biby wtkvn" In Evidence Aa Usual
But All Celebrators Seem to Have
Escaped Berloua Injurlea?Ball
Games and Fight News Attractions.
Juiy Fourth paused off with alnn
extreme quietness In this city. The
inevitable cannon cracker and "bat?
waker" were very much In evidence,
particularly during the morning, but
to far as had !>ecn reiKirtcd last night,
not a single serious accident resulted
Irom the plenlious use of fireworks.
Testerday dawned bright and clear
nnd the morning was extremely
As the day wore on, Ibe heat became
Intense and hundreds of people Journe>
ex] to Buekroe. Ocean View. Old I'oiir
and older nearby places In seek coo!
ng breezes. Kvery outgoing street car
throughout the niorung and early
afternoon was loaded almost to Itsl
capacity with the holb'ay crowds,
hundreds of people came here from
Smlthflcld and ("rillenden, but most of
them tarried but a short while, con
tinning on to Huckroe.
Big Crowds Disappointed.
Several hundred people gathered at
Ibe baseball game between the North
Enders and Athletics at the Casino
yesterday morning and several hun?
dred inor ? turned out for the afternoon
rente. Many local people also wont to
Hampton in the affenoon to see the
fame between the North Enders and
Crablters, but all were disappointed.
As is usually the ease on I he
rourih. a hard rain, wind arid electrb
siorm broke over the Peninsula dur?
ing the afternoon. Shortly after noon
the shy became overcast and great
black clouds began forming in the
West. A high wind sprung up about
S;l.r) o'clock an' chased the heavv
clouds all over (he heavens, only a
narrow rim of clear sky being left
rear the horlion. Afler fifteen minutes
or more of wind, the rain storm
btoke and for half an hour the rain
poured in torrents, the streets being
fooded This rain put a damper on
the ardor of the people.
Out for Prixe Fight News.
The rain let up slightly about 4
o'clock and several hundred men turn?
ed out to hear the returns from the
prize fight at Reno. The rain began
again about S o'clock last night and
cnotluued to pour togfafff?^ lainl
' There was c^.'.'- .el/ ' 1?

day, the'shipyard hetafl cloned down,
while all of the coal docks mere shut
down for the day. Few of tlp> ahi|e
ping offices were opened and all clos?
ed in the afternoon. 1 he banks were
(I '- <l throughout the day and prncli
rally all cf the stores closed in the
afternoon. The custom house was
closed and Sunday hours were ob?
served at the postolfce.
Stores and Ships Decorated.
Many of the stores were decorated
tor the occasion and n number of the
vessels in the harbor had all of. their
-igtiai flairs out. The British tux
Blaaor. anchored off the Chesapeake A
Ohio pasaeng r pier, was gaily
decorated with many flags. It is a
rare occurrence for a British vessel
lo display flags on Independence Day
and the Rlaavr attracted much At?
tention from those passing on the
waterfront.
While the streets were crowded
throughout the morning, the crowd
waa a good natured one and there
war. little or no disorder. A f^w drunks
were to be seen, but they behaved well
and the police were called upon to
make few arrests.
