O’NEILL ALL SET FOR
RUNNING RACES AND
THREE-DAY CELEBRATION
O’Neill is in readiness for the big
three-day celebration that will start
in O’Neill next Tuesday and continue
through Wednesday and Thursday.
The stores and business places are al
ready arranging for the decoration of
their windows and the display of the
national colors.
Peter W. Duffy, who is looking
after the entries says that around two
hundred gallopers will be in O’Neill
for the races and that many of them
are among the best in the country.
There will be at least five running
races each day. A saddle horse race
each day will be an added attraction
each saddle horse must carry a thirty
pound stock saddle.
The Monahan Post Band of Sioux
City will be one of the big events of
the celebration. They will be here for
the three days, playing throughout
the day. The Monahan Post Orches
tra will furnish the music for the
Legion dance which will be held on
the large bowery.
The base ball games each day are
going to be worth while. The game
scheduled for Tuesday between Bart
let and Atkinson will be a good one as
both teams are playing excellent ball
this year. Bartlett has won 7 of 8
games played; they recently defeated
the strong Neligh team, and also de
feated the top notch Spalding team.
The game between Randolph and
O’Neill which will be played Wednes
day, July 4th, will give the fans a
chance to see some fast base ball. The
Randolph team has twice defeated
Bloomfield this year and also won
from the Sioux City Stock Yards
team. O’Neill is grooming a team
that will give the Randolph bunch a
run for the money.
Thursday’s game will also be a good
one when Creighton will come with a
determination to clean-up on O'Neill
Creighton has an excellent line-up and
has played exceptional base hall this
year.
The Midway down town will be an
attraction during the exenings. The
street* will be lined with shows,
games, stands and various attraction*
from the Burlington depot to the
court house on Fourth street and will
have everything to entertain all ages.
