Celobrato the Fourth.
"Wednesday was most dccidcdlv
the small boy's and small girl's
Fourth of July In North Platte and
they enjoyed it to the utmost until
he thunder storm came up in the
(tcrnoou and rather dampened
their ardor. The morning was de
voted to seeing how much powder
t was possible to burn in a short
me and how much racket could be
made. Occasionally a Sabbath-like
stillness would descend and their
elders would .begin to wonder if the
youngsters had been taken suddenly
11 but a redoubled noise in a few
moments soon proved that they
were still very much alive.
In the afternoon the races which
had been arranged by several of
the merchants came off on Dewey
street. They attracted a large
crowd of children and a fair sprink-
ing of grown people. A goodly
number of contestants were entered
in every race and considerable en
thusiasm developed. Capt. Ham
ilton acted as a starter. Uufortu
nately when the. program of races
was only about half over a thunder
shower came up and then the prin
cipal race was to sec which could
get under cover first. As the show
ers kept coming up every few
minutes the program was not re
sumed.
When the shades of evening be
gan 1o fall the aforesaid small boy
ind small girl retired t o their homes
feeling that the day had been a
very glorious one although Mc-
Keeu'a terrors had been licked.
Break Even,
The two games of ball played at
Kearney this week between teams
of that and this city resulted in a
break even. Tuesdays game, which
was one of the best ever played in
Kearney, resulted in a score of 3 to
1 in favor of North Platte. The
following day the score stood 11 to
8 in favor of Kearney. The latter
atne was won in., the fifth inning
when through costly errors the
Kearneyites scored six runs. The
ainc was played in a blinding dust
storm that made it exceedingly
disagreeable for both players and
spectators. Lawler of Omaha was
imported to pitch for Kearney, and
they also played Ilofmeistcr of
Grand Island.
The North Platte team is strong
er than Kearney and can defeat the
latter in eight games out of ten, at
least we would wager a little on
that proposition. Had the North
Plalles played their customary
game Wednesday, the score would
have been different.
While catching in Wednesday's
game at Kearney, Joe Schwaiger
was struck on the lelt hand with
a oat, oreaKing me ngainenis
in Ii'ib index linger, He bravely
caught the game until the ninth
inning when he retired.
Y. M. C. A. Notes.
Forty visitors appreciated the
open rooms for rest and reading on
the Fourth and some expressed
their pleasure to the secretary.
