THE AMERICAN DAY ,
Its Public Celebration in the
City of Omaha.
Events at The Park Loss Inter
esting Than Expected.
tfowThoTimo WAI Pmsoilnt Other
Places-
Even tlio most cnlliusiftstic is frco
o confess that the exorcises nt the
Oinnhn Driving 1'ark Jlondny were
> y no means successful. The attend-
anoo was really fine , and was worthy
f ono of the best exhibitions of tlu *
find Omaha has overseen. There
vns a largo number of visitors from
ho Biirroiiiuliiig country , and many
veil known ladies present to add in-
crest to the occasion. It is an tin-
) leasant fact to acknowledge that nil
f these experienced different degrees
f disappointment but a regard for
ruth compels n statement to that of-
cot. The non-appoaranco of the gcnj
tlo savages was a great disappoint-
ncnt as it had been confidently ex-
icctcd that they would bo present.
t is now thought that the agent in
hargo of them concluded that there
vould bo no celebration owint ; to
'csident ' Garficld's ' condition
iiul therefore did not allow
hem to come. Tierce's balloon un-
ortunntoly met with an accident that
ondored it totally unfit for use.
Jwing to the high wind it is doubtful
vhcthorn successful ascension could
avobccn made. Most of the romain-
ng portion of the programme was
omparatively unexciting and people
.generally were dissatisdod.
The first event of importance was
ho base ball match games between
ho B. & M. boys and the Kansas
/ity , Fort Scott and Gulf boys. The
latch began at half past cloven. It
VAS soon apparent that the B. it M.
line would gain an easy victory.
7ho playing waa excellent especially
) urkeo's pitching which was too much
or the Kansas City boys. The Kan-
as City boys , however , played well
considering this was their tirat match
; ame. Twitchell the pitcher did some
iliniriiblo work. The value of the
iri/.o gained by the L. & M. was 875.
The follow-in ; , ' are the names of the
3. & M. nine : Durkeo , Saxo , Austin ,
iJrandt , Foreman , Scott , McLain ,
Elvers and Hall. The Kansas City
x > ys were : Rings , Twitchell , Divesly ,
Oickcnson , Hill , Thomas , Winchell ,
Emmett and Spears. Mr. 0. J.
Miiythe made an elliciont umpire.
The 13. & M. boys won by a score
of thirteen to one.
.The first race- was called at two
o'clock and by this time the concourse
of spectators had vastly increased.
This race , known as the ii:45 : racehad ,
thrco horses entered , the Baker mare ,
owned by J. BI. Patrick and driven
by , Chris Kevins , Mollie .Patchon ,
owned by John A. Croighton and
driven by Beardsloy , Oddfellow , own
ed by John I Redick , and driven by
CliHord. At the word "go , " Mollie
Patchon was at the polo , the Baker
muro second , and Oddfellow in the
rear. The half was done in 1:24 : ,
the Baker mare being considerably
in the lead. Mollie Patchcn was ex
erting her utmost to outstrip her rival.
Uakor mare , however , won the heat
by two lengths. Time 2-12. :
The entertainment waa then di
versified by a bicycle race. There
were only three competitors , Samuel
Bowloy , fan Englishman staying at
Council Blntl's ) , Liinuet Solomon and
Thomas MeCaguo. Bowloy won.
Time 12:20. : The bicycle racing evi
dently created a great deal of amuse
ment among the spectators , and there
wan much applause bestowed upon
the winner.
Next on the programme was the
second heat of the 2-i5 : race. At the
start the Baker mare waa leading ,
with Odd Fellow following her closely
and Mollie Patchcn in the rear. Odd
Fellow made n desperate oli'ort to gain
on the Baker mare , but nho came in
first , Odd Fellow following and Mollie
Patchon third. Time 2:41 : 1-2. There
was considerable excitement mani
fested in this contest , and the winner
of the heat was greeted with enthu
siastic and uproarious cheering.
Following this race was another
bicycle contest , with the same com
petitors engaged. Samuel Bowloy
won it and got the medal. Time
O.OIJ J.O (
The finishing heat of the 24G ; race
resulted in a victory for the Bukor
maro. Odd Fellow again did its ut
most , and Mollie Patchon was agajn
third. The heat uiul race were given
'
to the 'Bakor maro. The last heat was
done in 2:42. :
There were only two horses entered
for the free-for-all race , Will Jlor avil
Odd Fellow. The latter took the lead
and came in nearly n length ahead.
Time , 2:47 : .
The second and final heat was a very
interesting contest. It was a sharp
race and at the first half mile Will
Her was somewhat in the lead. Bui
Oddfellow pulled up and amid some
excitement came in first and wiuj award-
eel thu heat and nice. Time 2:47. :
The judges wore J. R. Hunter ,
Judge Dundy , and Richard Kitchen.
Col , Smytho was very busy as chiol
marahal , Ho was assisted by Mr. J.
II , Butler.
Financially the affair waa a success.
At the conclusion of the last nice the
people began trooping homeward am
the street cars and other conveyances
wore crowded almost fo suffocation ,
During the day there was some cap
ital music and dancing in which num

Its Power not
To the Kdltorof TllK llt.K.
Omaha , July 2. In your able criti
cism of the conduct of England to
ward the Irish nation , published in
Saturday evening's issue , you unwill
ingly make an assertion which you
will pardon mo if I correct. You Bay
in substance that the Land League
has reached the maximum of its
power , and that it is now on the de
cline. Coming from another source ,
I would not deem this imputation
worthy of correction , but because of
your able advocacy of the Irish cause
since the question of England's tyran
ny has been discussed. I have con ]
sidered it fair to you UK well as our
selves that THE BEE shall not make a
"mistake , " oven involuntarily ,
The Land League is stronger now
than it ever has boon , and it is grow
ing in strength and importance. "Eng
land's rod of coercion has boon bro
ken , " as you truthfully remark , and
no matter what brutal acts she maybe
bo guilty of the League will continue
its passive resistance. There were
five hundred thousand dollars in the
treasury last January. Wo have more
money than the landlords , and wo
have an incalculably greater power.
"No Surrender" is our motto.
Very truly , JOHN RUSH.

COUNCIL BLUFFS ,
A SAD DAY ,
ACTION OF SYMPATHETIC BLfFI'S
PEOl'LE ON THE I'llEslDKNT's CONIH-
TION.
At an early hour on Monday morn-
ng the people thronged the streets
and gathered in groups hero and there
discussing with grave and solemn
'aces the great national calamity. THE
BEE , the only morning paper , was
eagerly bought and read with the
greatest avidity.
It soon became evident that the
people were in no mood to celebrate
n the usual manner , and public sen-
: imcnt began to manifest itself
ipenly. About 9 o'clock n tele
gram was received at the Non
pareil ofiico contradicting the pub
lished reports , saying that the presi
dent had rested well all night , etc.
It was received by the people with
{ rent eagerness and open manifesta
tions of joy. In about an hour , how
ever , n telegram came announcing the
.mo and extremely critical condition
cf the president , and a deeper gloom
: ook the place of the transient joy.
Iho conviction now took hold of the
icoplo that the president could not
ecovcr and all the events of the day
vcro marked and solemnized by this
sad and gloomy foreboding
Early in the morning Abe Lincoln

About noon Mayor Vaughan issued

In accordance with the mayor's

By two o'clock n largo number of
people had gathered at the court
house.
It was a sad and solemn meeting.
E. E. Aylesworth called thn meet
ing to order. Mayor Vaughan was
appointed Chaiman , and C. S. Clark
Secretary.
The following resolutions wore
adopted :
THE RESOLUTIONS.
More than a hundred times has the
sun risen upon this day , made glori
ous with display of bunting , the 'roar
of artillery , tlio chiming of bells and
the harmony of music , all throbbing
in union with rejoicing loyalty. To
day its advent is marked by pall , and
shroud , and muilled drum and mea
sured htep that tell of a nation be
reaved. To the annals of its memor
ies we add to-day the hallowed mem.
nry of the martyred bravo. Our pros
dent is dying , and a bowed nation
passes under the rod.
In view of these exigencies Mayor
Vanglmn has fittingly ordered the
suspension of all festivities usual to
the day ; The closing of all marts of
commere , and the a somblago of the
people to give expression of sympathy
and grief. Wo , the citizens of Coun
cil Bluffs , have therefore , in mass
meeting assembled.
Resolved ; That with full hearts of
love , wo tender our kindest , warmest
sympathy for tlio sorrowing family of
our revered president ; for wo , as a na
tion , as well as n family , have lost a
father and a husband , and wo me urn
from the heart.
Resolved ; That , standing hero in
the full strength of our manhood ,
that knows no weakness , wo blond our
unrestrained tears of grief with n
bleeding nation , stricken to the heart
by the dastardly hand of an assassin ,
wo rcco nizo in this affliction the most
damaging blow to the peace and pros-
party as a nation , that it was posiblo
for any human being to inflict.
Yesterday saw us a nation , full with
rich prosperity , and radient iu future
hope
To-day dawns upon a country cast
down in sorrow for the suffering of
its beloved ruler , a man who in honor
had can-eel his way from the lowliest
walks of life to rule the greatest na
tion on the earth , and by their own
consent cannot die unmourned , and
in mourning to-day we acknowledge
that death may have its sting and the
grave its victory.

HOIIACK EVEIIETT.
On motion of Dr. A. J. Cook , the
following telegram was sent to Hon.
James G. Blame , secretary of state ;
To JAMES G. BLAINE , Secretary of
State , Washington , D. C. : The people
ple of Council Bluffs dcsiro to express
their profound sorrow and regret nt
the calamity visited upon the nation
by the hand of ( vn'nssnssin , and hereby
extend their heartfelt sympathy to the
president and his family , with fervent
prayers for his recovery.
Brief and feeling speeches were
made by Col. J. W. Chapman , Hon.
\V. H. .M. Pusoy , Col. D. B. D.iiley ,
Rev. Father MoMencmy , Hon. D. 0
Bloomer , Rev. J. G. Lemnn , and
others.
Col. Chapman , in his speech , said :
"Perhaps no president was ever in
augurated under more favorable cir
cumstances than was President Garfield -
field , and to realize that in scarcely
four months later that noble man is
struck down , is too appalling for any
thing , and at this time I cannot find
worels to express my feelings. If
our beloved president should pass
.iway to-day , it should contribute
aiiew to the consecration of the na
tion's holiday , and render still more
sacred the memory of our nation's
birthday. "
Hon. W. H. M. Pusoy said :
"Doubtless there is not one in this
house but remembers the hushed and
sad fcelini : that pervaded this land
when that great martyr , Abraham
Lincoln , died at the cruel hand of the
assassin , and I think the same feeilng
pervades this people to-day , when
that great statesman , that noble , generous - "
erous man , and our beloved president ,
James A. Garfield , is perhaps near his
end as a result of a similar act.
Although the American heart bleeds
for our dying president , we cannot
but feel and realize that our govern
ment will continue to live , oven in
the event of his death , and that Gen.
Arthur will receive the respect , sym
pathy and support of the people as did
his beloved and respected predecessor.
What ever may have been Gen.
Qrtrficld's ' political ideas , all Tire bur-
ie'd at this hour in the deep , sorrow
that has overshadowed this nation. I
cannot say anything that will bo of
comfort at this time ,
Hon D. C. Bloomer said :
Our beloved President Garfield , a
great , grand and jrood manis lyin , wo
fear , upon hi deathbed. We trust
and hope his life may be spared , yet
wo are ready for the worst. As Pres
ident Garfield once said , "There is a
Goil of destiny ruling over this coun
try and and it will survive all attempts
at its life by killing its officers. " Wo
may still expect this government to
go forward , though President Garficld
dic.M.
dic.M.Rev.
Rev. Father McMenomy said that
lie could ofl'er but little but ho had
this to say for himself and the people
lie represented , that they realize that
this is one of the greatest calamities
that could possibly have befallen our
beloved land. There is a destiny for
this country under God , and I believe
it will continue to move forward
through all trials and sorrows r.nd as-
sassinV blows.
Rev. J. G. Semen saidHo thought
a mistake would bo made if wo thought
the death-blow aimed at our beloved
resident meant merely his death ,
i'ho death of one is a very small
thing compared with the blow leveled
\t our country in striking down its
chief executive.
Rev. S. H. Cloland at the close of
an eloquent prayer offered at the con
clusion of the meeting said.
And now , 0 God , wo voice once
.gain the hearts of the people of this
city , this commonwealth and this na-
: ion , and ask that Thou mayest spare
unto us this great , good and beloved
man , and every sorrowing heart re
sponded Amen.

Flro at tlio Opera House .
What might have developed into a
serious conflagration occurred Monday
afternoon at'Bpyd's opera house.
A fire cracker thrown into a pile of
shavings ignited them and at once
spread into a pile of heavy timbers
lying near , The fire was put out by
the people in that vicinity , who were
evidently looking for something of the
kind to happen , and therefore wer ?
prepared for it. No damage was
done.

HIS EXPERIENCE *
How One Young Man Spent
Fourth of July.
His Own Account of It so far as
He Can Recall.
A young man , who , not many moons
a o , loft his home to seek his fortune
.11 . the glowing west , awoke fromn Into
slumber Monday morning with a
consciousness that it was Fourth of
J"uly. The thought aroused an in-
.cresting train of recollections , but on
looking around the bare interior of
iis bachelor quarters the young nmii
elt lonesome. However , ho was
soon wide awake , thinking over the
natter and { scratching his tousled
icad , ho dumped hjmsclfoutupon the
loor. Dressing is by no means a
jlcasant task with the mercury near
the summit of the tube. One of the
iirst principles , of the Fourth of July
s undoubtedly a clean shirt. Now n
clean shirt meant n transfer of collar
buttons , studs and cuff buttons. Of
course the laundress had put in an ox-
; ra supply of starch on account of the
Jay , and therefore the task was proportionately
tionately dillicult of accomplishment.
Perseverance will , however , accom
plish wonders , and after a desperate
; en-minustes' struggle , in which every
nuscle of the body wast kept at n high
: cnsion and beads of sweat resembling
icorns rolled down the young man's
'ace , the shirt was finally donned and
.ho collar adjusted. The rest of the
task was easy enough , but the young
nan iinally reached the street in a
tate of dissatisfaction and ill-humor.
Cho playing of the bands and discharge
of fire-crackers had an unpleasant
effect upon him. In such cases nature
craves a relief. Ho sought it in pro-
) ably the most sensible way available
o wit , a mint julep. This gave him
little courage and ho soon had
mastered breakfast. A cignr and , n' '
copy of THE BEE furnished him pleas
ant employment tor an hour and
; hen the problem of how to spend
; ho day become a serious one. A
iublic picnic , or even the programme
of the driving park had no attraction
'or him. His desire was to pass the
day quietly. After an early dinner
inother cigar and newspaper furnished
considerable satisfaction. Then a jaunt
was taken to a neighboring billiard
mil. Nature continued to crave and
; he yount ; man continued to gratify.
At last the sun sunk beneath the
western hills and the young mini sal-
ied forth. Ho went to several other
) laces.
At the theater he felt a disposition
: o go out between the acts. He final
ly yielded to the impulse .and remained
out.
out.Ho
Ho went every place he know of.
[ fc kept growing more < ; looiny out of
doors. Undoubtedly night was com-
in' ' on. He could see the lights start
ing up suddenly in the windows. Ho
imagined ho was looking for somebody
uul kept going in wherever lie saw n
Ik'ht. At every place a flensing
fragrance of mint julep , gin sling , gin
cuck tail , etc. , assailed his nostrils. It
began to look at last as though Fourth
of July wasn't such a bad day after all ,
The playing of bands and the report of
fire-crackers no longer seemed so harsh
to him. Ho readily imagined the
street lamps were stars overhead and
that the heavens were brightening up.
Ho continued his search for somebody
lie couldn't find and the longer ho
searched the more hopeful he became.
At last ho met a policeman with whom
ho was acquainted and after a short
conversation ascertained that it was
time to go to bed. The officer was
very particular to impresa the fact
with considerable emphasis. So ho
went to his room. In going there
ho thought it the queerest thing in
the world that ho had never before
discovered how much easier it was to
go upstairs than down. Ho entered
his room singing pleasantly a song he
had learned when he was n rboy. It
was rather hot but ho didn't 'feel
uncomfortable a bit. Ho throw up
the window and looked out , The
street lamps stringing out in lines
seemed .to dance and wheel about like'
a torchlight procession , in honor of
the day. Ho was perfectly satisfied.
Satisfied was the only word to ex
press it. Ho did not know of any
thing ho wanted , The whole universe
scorned full of fullness and nil around
was roundness. As ho leaned out ho
heard n faint plashing bound fur below
on the Lmvement. Ho concluded that
he must have fallen into a reverie , but
anyhow he felt bettor. Ho drew back
into the room and walked over to the
big chair and sat down. Evidently
the lady who cared for the room
had moved the chair , for the
young man in the darkness
had sat down in the spittoon instead
of the seat. That was n small matter ,
however. He got out of his boots af
ter considerable scuttling. It would
save time in the morning if he slept
in his shirt. The rest of the cjothing
ho distributed carefully around just
where it happened to drop , and
climbed over into bed , The mattress
never seemed so springy nor the pil
low so soft. The spirit of Fourth ol
July was all over him , and
the young man slumbered.
No troubled dreams came to
him , but ho slept long and soundly
like a tired child. And ho awoke so
refreshed that ho concluded he didn't
need any breakfast. The only thing
that troubles him is that80 f ° > v of the
events of tho. day mndq a lasting im
pression upon him. He i simply con
scious that ho had n good time but all
details are wanting , He couldn't go
over the ground again to save his life.
