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.
Snow proprietor of one of the lea ding
book stores had a very attractive carri
age load of Teddy bears out viewing
the sights, while the Columbus Brewing
Company, Keating and Schram, Col
umbus roller mills. L. W. Weaver &
Son and Carl Roslle the tinner were all
well represented. T. W.Herriek had a
very attractive float representing a
little girls tea party and several pieces
of the latest cuts in furnirure were seen
upon the float.
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. Hob. W. N:
Hensley of this city was orator of the
day and delivered a very interesting
oration. Rev. Lotan De Wolfe, pastor of
the M. E. Church delivered the invoca
tion. Mayor G. W. Phillips delivered
the address of welcome and it was great
ly appreciated by all his listeners.
The afternoon program wsa carried oat
as published in our last issue. 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. Moerson Jr., Walter Pitmaa aad Jac
ob Ernst were contestants, lasted about
thirty minutes. It was a fierce battle
from beginning to end as neither side
would give up and it was finally decided
a draw.
The fire-works was the last on the
program and took place on east Ilth
street near the Electric Light Plant and
was undoubtedly the best ever held in
Columbus.
The Isst but not least whieh the wri
ter wishes to speak stout were the rest
rooms which were nicely prepared for
the visiting ladies, this alone made many
friends for this city especially among the
ladies.
