The Glorious Fourth.
The big celebration held in this
city last Saturday was a grand suc
cess in every particular. The day
could uot have beeu more propitious
for the occassion, and the rain of
Friday settled the dust and put the
track in perfect order for the oeca
sion. The bovs in town began cele
brating early Friday night and the
booming of canuoa ciackeis and all
kinds cf unearthly noises was kept
up all night Saturday morning the
suia'l boy was turned loose and as
the hundreds cf oelebrators begau
to arrive from the country they were
greeted with the u-mal noise of the
tin horn and era keis, and three
brass bands of muc;o.
Messrs. C. B. Lewis and Frank
Potter, to whom the credit for get
ting up the celebration and at ranging
the program is due, were kept busy
carrying out the details and when
night came it transpired that the
progam was a little too lengthy for
one day's fun. It was a grand day
for Butler and the crowd that attend
ed the picnic was estimate to be be
tween five and six thousand people.
The racing was ot;e cf the special
features of the day pnd the lovers
of this sport were highly entertain
ed and they got to see some thor
oughbreds go on the tack as well
as the ULContrcUble mule.
The picnic grounds in the beauti
ful grove were also well patronized
and those who did not care to wit
ness the races took pleasure in meet
ing old acquaintances, eating good
dinners and enjoying themselves
in witnessing the many amusements
on the ground.
The fireworks from the roof of the
restaurant building on the south
side was very pretty and a large
crowd was on the streets to eee the
rockets shoot upwards and the spid
er wheels throw thbir many different
colors.
Messrs. Lewis and Potter are to
be congratulated over the big suc
cess of the affair and also that no
accidents of a serious nature hap
pened.
