Tho featuro of tho evening was th6 re-production of tho Thaw-Whito tragedy, tho recital of which has filled so many nowspa por columns. Tho illustrated songs rendered by Mr. Hownrd P.

Following this performnuco tho company will fill n special ongngomont by request In tho Mnrshllold Masonic Opera House Wednesday night. Tho celebration at North Bend drew an Immense crowd, estimated by many nt 10,000, and the streets were thronged with eager sightseers from early morning until late at night. It was pleasing to note tho good nature of the crowd and noth ing occuned to mar the pleasures of the day. There was something to en gage tho attention of tho guests every minute of the day and dull moments weio not encountered. The banner event was tho greased pig chase which elided much amusement. A rangy razor-back with a well- greased anatomy was turned' loose on Sherman avenue. Ho was game and started off down the street as if he understood what was expected of him. Tho crowd was jammed from each side of the street nearly to the center and his plgshlp side-swiped several white dresses in his charge. He passed the bank corner safely, and started for Empire, but lost his wind in climbing the hill, whereupon Toots Noble captured him and carried him off in triumph. The fat men's race was not lacking in comical features. The line-up pre pared tho crowd for a laugh and it was forthcoming. There were three entries and when the word was given the race was on in earnest. Mr. James fell down before he was well started but got up and reached tho tape In tho lead. The log rolling con test was held to entertain the even ing crowd, but when the event was called there were no contestants on hand to participate. This was rather disappointing to the crowd, as this sport Is In Itself an entertainment, and those Interested In it always have a favorite whom they wish to en courage and see win. Tho accompanying summaries show tho winners names, the prizes and events: Blcyclo race for boys under 1C years, won by Gaffney, prize $5.00, four entries. Fat man's race, won by Thomas James, prize $C00, three entries. ,Dash 100 yards, won by J. A. Con roy, C. W. Fox second, prizes $10.00 and $5.00, four entries.

With all tho traffic and tho hurry no accident was reported among tho craft. Boats were busy far into tho night and the number of passengcis transported between the two cities was probably greater than on an previous occasion on Coos Bay. Those who wont to tho woods and to tho resorts returned home tired but highly pleased with their outings. QUINT IX MAllSHFJKLI). Quietude reigned from morning to night in Marshfleld yesterday and those with a penchant for sleep or restful amusement were left to them selves to enjoy tho day as best pleased them. Some who find more pleasure in tho active and boisterous dlveisions journeyed to Arago and Bandon and others to North Bend, whero they could put In a full day and reach homo early if they chose. Coos IUver, Charleston and other contiguous resorts claimed a share of tho holiday patronage and picnics were tho order In the nearby woods. A welcome rain during tho night of tho 3rd laid tho dust and prepared tho groves and roads for lounging and travel. The day opened with the thermometer toying around an un comfortably warm flguio and so it re mained until late in the afetrnoon. Business houses were generally I closed, nnd those which kept open house had their trouble for nothing. Ice cream and cooling drinks were in active demand and the thirst which prevailed was uncommon in Coos county. rOHMKK OFFICIAL IHSOHAISaKl) Washington, July 1.

Tho largest crowd ever present nt a ball gumo on tho bay witnessed tho defeat of Marshfleld by North Bond yesterday afternoon, on tho North Bend grounds. Tho score stood 13 to 10 at the close of nine innings 0 t S50 paid admissions wero received at tho gate, 500 of which wero grand stand tickets. Tho contest, whllo fast and well played for tho first flvo innings,, bo enmo n farco during tho latter part, qrrors being tho principal featuro of Maishfield's playing. From a spec tator's standpoint the game was tho kind that Is well liked, ns the ball was hit often nnd a lot of baso run ning was paitlclpated In. North Bond pitched threo mon during tho gnme, starting in with Foote, wno lasted live Innings, being replaced by Graham, who walked out of the boiw in tho eighth and was relieved by Sumner. Wright pitched nine Innings for Marshfleld, nnd had he been supported properly would cer tainly huo won with ease. Ho wns well caught by Cowan. Among thoso who did exceptionally good work for North Bend both in field ing his position and nt tho bat, wns Keano. Out of flvo times up ho got threo hits, ono for two bags, and with six changes nt third ho accept ed thorn without an error. Tho only Incident marring tho gamo happoned when Lamberton, In sliding home, dislocated his left snouiaor. His placo at center was filled by Polemus during tho ro mslndor of tho contest. UOXITA'S ItKCOItl) ItUN. Just before tho ball game In North Bend yesterday afternoon the new launch of O 'Kelly's covered Itself with glory by making tho round trip between North Bend and Marshfleld in the record breaking time of twenty-six minutes. Tho run was made under pressure. The game wns about ready to be called when It was found there wero no balls. Disappointed fans and vexed ball players were casting disconsolate glances and giving voice to unmiti gated sorrow, when Russ Tower came to the rescue and, jumping on his wheel, sped to the North Bend boat landing, where O'Kelly was no tified of the contingency. O'Kelly threw on the power in tho trusty "Bonlta" and tho lithe built launch shot like nn arrow through tho waters, Morshfiold bound. Arriving at the Marshflold dock Tower ran to his store, bceured the much-desired balls and, golfing aboard tho launch again, tho return journey to North Bend v.is made. Deducting tho time required to se cure tho balls the actual running time of tho boat was aboi t tvjnly two minutes. Wlen lower re turned to tho diamond with the balls ho was greeted with cheers and O'Kelly nnd his launch wero given a grand ovation from tho spectators and ball players. Around tho first ball thrown over tho plate were the colors ot tho "Bonlta," bluo and whlto. AFTKIIMATH. After tho Mnrshflold contingent re turned from tho North Beud celebra tion last night, tho events of tho day woro discussed on every street corner, pro nnd con. Thoro wns a goneral feollng that North Bend had enter tained tho guests in a manner equal ing tho piomlses ndvanced in the ad vertising. Tho mobt pleasing featuro of the day, It was agreed, was tho barbacuo, smco it wns well sorved and every body had plenty to eat. There was much displeasure ox pressed over the ball gamo. nnd nono considered it oven nn ordinary exhibi tion. Tho Marshfleld sports had clung to the hopo that tho local team would ovontually land a game from North Bond and helioved yesterday was thai tlmo to back their opinion. Most of I tho fans placed their money on FIKEJIEX'S ANNUAL. The Firemen's annual ball given last night in the Odd Fellows' Hall was a success, socially and finan cially. There was a good attendance but it was not largo enough to crowd the floor. The famous Coos Bay or chestra furnished its usual high grade music and the event was in all particulars enjoyable. 1 lefeu&wa.1 'JJxsSrrsraxiXSixsrHJa vO7inivdixthsxtr,tilTnxmmuiiirs:txasU!tTi'aai iu. kwm riFANiw: &laLiL& iiiiiii&ay gfilitdJAnJijL(& M2 Xi '4afcJ b fc fc r & t is a specialty at this place.
