Oae of the best and most successful oelebrstioBs ever bald in Columbus took place Jaly 4. It is estimated that five to eight thousand people eajoyed the program whieh has bean prepared for the day's oelebratioB by the committee. Only one change was made ia the day aad that was changing of the moving pic ture show which wsa to take place on the street was given in the North Opera house, in order that every person who wished could be accomodated. Neighboring towns were well re presented sad especially Platte Canter. Even the business men of this busy little city closed shop doors, barred the windows aad came to Columbus to celebrate. The Platte Center band made its first appearance on that day and they are to be congratulated upon the able manner in which the handled the pieces they readered. The Columbus bead also furnished music for the dsy which was greatly appreciated. ' Columbus vs. Platte Center played a game of base ball lata in the afrernooa at the ball ground just south of the Union Pacific coal chute. From the begining Platte Center held the wising hand. The game resulted iaajvictory for the visiting team with a score of 7 to 8. , At ten o'clock the parade formed on east 13th street near the B& M depot and many of the leadiag business men were well represented. Grand Marshall Baker and his aids followed by Mayor G. W. Phillips headed the parade. Peter Schmidt at tracted much attention being dressed in a German Army uniform. L. W.

Friedhof & Co. was well represented by Mr. Friedhof and all of his sssiBtswts who occupied two carriages beautifully decorated. L. W. Phillips' float could not enter the parade as it was too high to pass beneath the Electric Light wires erossiag the atresia, It was-- said to be .one of the best and most attractive floats ever prepared for a parade in this city and it was much regretted by all that the float could not be admitted. Fifty young ladies seated upon a float decor ated in the national colors sang many of the patriotic songs and made a very at tractive float. v The Fire Department with its equipage trimmed in the pa'triotie colors added much praise to the parade. Then follow ed the pony and automobile sections, with the Columbus aad Platte Center bands, which both furnished good music Following the parade there was a lit erary program at Frankfort Park in which the Columbus and Platte Center bands took part.

The foot racing was one of the main .features es pecially for the small boys who came out victorious. The Aerial Lucase's great feature acts were the best ever seen in the streets of Columbus and much credit is due both the actors and the committee who were so fortunate in securiajr these perfor mers. Many, old aa well as young enjoyed the music, ss well as the rides of the Merry-Go-Bound both afteanoon aad evening The watea fight in which Ed Braaigaa T.
