ation of Independence, there was
music by the choir, followed by a
forceful address, touching the lead
ing points of American history by
Rev. Dr. Hoppo. Dr. Hoppe very
ably sustained his reputation as au
eloquont popular spoakor.
Tbo ovout which attracted as much
or perhaps more attention than any
thing else, the characteristic mining
camp diversion, wore tbo doublo rock
drilliug contests in the afternoon.
The 9100 cash prize was captured by
Johns and Wattors, of Bourne.
They drilled 40 2-1C inches in the
allotted fifteen minutes. Dunn and
Ray, the old favorites, of the Mid
way, and the wlnnors of numerous
contests, were close seconds, drilliug
forty inchos. Othor scores were, Bur
ton and Hogau, Wind Creek, 32;
Andregg and Bossior, Baker, 30;
Flannery and McCarvol, Golden Wiz
ard, 30; McRea aud McCormick,
Mountain Belle, 37.
At 5:30 the boys' drilling contest
occurred. Marcum and Peterson, of
Bourne, won first money, 910, drill
ing 17 inches; Daley and Jones,
of Sumpter, second, 910, 15;
Klrkham and Wallace, Qolconda,
15. These little fellows, the last
named, were muoh smaller than the
others, aud did so remarkably well
that the crowd raised a purse of
99.50 each. The judges in these
contests were, Flynn, Maboney aud
Roelsma. Time keepers, Dr. Pearce
and Keney.
' The log loading match took place
about 6 o'clock, on Auburn and Mill
streets. Tibbs brothers and Scott
won in 1:15, loading fifteen logs.
Prize 9150. Whitney won second,
950.
There is another matter deserving
special mention. Tom Gray, who
bad acted during the day as drum
major to the Sumpter baud, lato in
the afternoou of tbo Fourth, clad in
spotless uniform, got tbo baud boys
togotber ou Urauito street aud gavo
an exhibition drill. It was very
pretty work, showing Mr. Gray to bo
mastor of the sltuutiou, aud tho baud
boys apt pupils.
Tho evening was givon up to danc
ing at tbo Opora bouso, Walter Cro
nln having this department lu chargo
Muslo was furnisbod by a select or
chestra, and the dauce was a well
mauaged and successful affair.
Owing to the lateness of tho hour
tho tug of war could not take placo,
aud Sunday morning, a team pulllug
contost was pulled off in tho placo
of it. Tho smoltor team wou, pull
ing a looked truck in three pulls
about 300 foot.
But tho fostivities do uotoud horo.
Two moro ovouts, not scheduled in
the regular program remain to bo
ohronioled. Johns aud Walters, tho
winning team in the doublo drill ou
the Fourth, and Ray and Dunn, the
second team, drilled Mouday after
noon at 1 o'clock for a purse of 9150
aud numorous side bets. Johns and
Watters again won, beating their
former record and drilliug 11.
Dunn and Ray came in close seconds
with a .flat 40 11-10. Judges, Jones,
Roelsma and McCormick. Time
keeper, Walt Croniu.
Just one more, aud perhaps It does
not deserve to be classed with the
regular sports, but it came in at the
tail end as a warm finish and so it
goes. This was a single drilling
contest Monday night between Ellis
and Kane, for drinks, irrigation for
the crowd, a keg of beer or some
thing like that. It was two best In
three five minute goes. Ellis wou in
three straight heats, his best record
being 2 009-1000 inches. Kane's
best was 1 27-19 Inches. This was
the most fun provoking ovout of the
outiro series.
All iu all It was a most successful
colobratiou throughout, aud tho Hum
orous visitors wero loud lu their
pralsos of Sumpter aud Similiter hos
pitality.
