HYDER TEMPE THE HOUSE TtMPE TELEPHONE 351 TEMPE PATRIOTISM MOST GLORIOUS DAY Thousand Gher Fro-" Al Parts of the County to Participate in Natal Day Exercises. The day of the great celebration at Tempe has come and gone and true to the expectations of all the residents of that thriving little place, has gone down in history as the grandest -vent of the kind ever held there. In fact. It is doubtful If a larger crowd ever gathered at a Fourth of July celebration in any town in the valley. The crowd commenced to gather early in the morning when the citizens of the.

nlace turned out in full force to do nor to the div. The first train from Phoenix was crowded as was- the one a womaan nappa neat can to oomptat withooteaildfMt la tor aataxa ta Wv. as which tto expectant wther aiaat Holliday Cooley MESA.

Previous io the trains, almost the entire population of the surrounding country had put in an appearance and operations in farm and field on the whole south side were practically suspended for the day. It was utterly Impossible to place even an approximate estimate on the size of the crowd hi attendance but some approximated It at five thousand. A conservative guess, however, would be about four thousan. cr, would be about thousand from parlv morn until the last excur sion train pulled out In the evening Iran-vine with it a tired but happy lot Jof people who were cheerful in the I thought that they had celebrated the natal day In an appropriate and pleas ant manner. Considering the great crowd, the order was throughout the day excellent There was naturally more or les3 nmnninir and a.

few minor accidents. both or which were to be expected un- 1 .1 I 1 1 I (hn tier me exwiiiis t-uiiuiiim whole, no fault could be found with the manner In which things went off onrt much credit Is due those who had the big affair in charge. The decorations' were excellent; practically every business house In town and most of the residences were draped wit IT bunting and hundreds' of flags were in evidence. It Is impossible to give a list of the decorations of the various places of business together with the announcement of prizes, but it is hoped to do this tomorrow. The opening number of the day's program, bomb shooting from the butte.

came off as per schedule. Enough noise was made to call attention for miles around to the fact that Tempe was celebrating. This was followed by an hour's concert by the Mexican Industrial jband of Phoenix. This band supplied music during the c'ay at the dancing pavilion and proved to be a very able organization and furnished some highly creditable music. It became evident early in the forenoon that It would bo impossible to carry out the program in detail as had been planned there was entirely too much going on.

The horse race was therefore indefinitely postponed. It was most too hot for racing anyway and the crowd was being well entertained in the shade of the big where it was much more comfortable and p'leasant than It possibly could have been watching a horse race. The sack race, was also put off for the same reason. Considerable sport and amusement for the crowd was supplied by ten boys who participated In the battle royal. Five being on each side.

The young fellows took the matter entirely too serious, however, and gave signs, of making a battle of It in the truest sense of the word. It was accordingly called a draw and the prize money was equally divided among the boys. At 10 o'clock there was a short program at the arbor. There was too much noise on the outside to permit of a great deal in this respect, but Chaplin Scott as orator of the day was introduced by Chairman Nielsen of he committee and made a short but interesting address. He congratulated Tempe uron Its patriotism and spoke at poire lengh r.t theJroubles and trials of the original thirteen colonies, that eventually led to the signing of the Declaration of independence, the celebration of which is annually made tach Fourth of July.

Chaplin Scoita address was listened to with interest by all ho were able to hear. Other features had been prepared but like other parts of the program were postponed for good reasons. From then until noon the dancing pavilion occupied the center of the I stage. In fact, it was well patronized all the afternoon and evening, orches tra music being supplied during the time the band was resting. At 11: JO the chief feature of the day commenced; that was the serving of the big barbecue.

It had been ar-tanged to have the meat all carved by experienced butchers previous to the time of sen-ins in order tha. no time be lost. The serving shed was so fenced that a line was formed down which passed those wishing meat. It was all served in a neat an orderly manner and some idea of the size of the crowd may be 'gained from the fact that the eisht steers that were barb cued were inadequate to supply needs of the large cro-vd who desired beef and those who unfortunately arrived on tho later train from f'oenix cot left. There Is not a great al else to be said of the barbecue.

The meat was done to a tur-i was by many experienced parties to be the best they had ever tasted. It was done full justice by all and no one who rot there In time went hungry. After the barbecue was ended and all had rested a little after such a hearty meal, the hose contest was billed to take place. It so happened though, that the Phoenix team which was to contest with the Tempe department, failed to put In an appearance. The Tempe department, however, rather than let that number fall entirely flat, gave an exhibition run that was considered well worth the effort.

Again during the middle afternoon the dancing pavilion demanded the attention of most of the crowd but at 3:30 a procession was formed, the band' fading followed by the two baseball teams and a big party of spectators, that marched to the ball grounds north of the railroad track. Here a good and interesting game of ball was played between the Jew York store of Phoenix and a picked team of the jenpe players, which resulted in the defeat of the former by a score of 15 f. early evening trains took many of the visitors home, but hundreds remained to 'witness the, fireworks from the butte in the evening. This grand spectacle began a little after 8 o'clock and lasted several hours. A splendid display had been secured and with the high elevation of the butte from which they were set off, were seen to the best possible advantage.

It was the best set of fireworks that has ever been displayed on the south side of the river and when the last figure "good night" In letters of fire died out, the greatest celebration In the history of Tempe went down In the chronicle of history. BROOKS-SAYLOR. A Quiet Wedding at tha Christian Church Yesterday Forenoon. There was a pretty wedding at the Christian church yesterday forenoon at 10 o'clock. The contracting parties were Carl Brooks and Verna Saylor and the ceremony was performed by the pastor of the church.Rev.

The church was tastily decorated for the occasion and promptly Jt the appointed hour, li'e words that made the two man and wife were pronounced.

Yesterday at noon while J. TV. Kline of Phoenix, who had In operation here on the grounds a doll baby rack was at dinner, a fire cracker lighted some of the straw near the rack. In a moment the whole thing was in flames and by the time Mr. Kline arrived, most of it was too far gone to be saved.

During the earlv morning hours, a few of the blbulousty Inclined proceeded to acquire Jas of more or lew plcturesquenesg, but they soon reached the sleep stage and were corded up In back rooms to soik out. The small boy with his flrecracke-j and toy cannons made out to amuse himself In the usual way, and Lis report of the Fourth is that he had a glorious time. The sober mlnied ladles of the W. C. T.

U. gave a picnic at Drew's park, which was well attended. Fried chicken, sandwiches, pink lemonade and Ice cream consti tuted the and those present had a pleasant if not a very strenuous Fourth. One noticeable feature about, tha present national holiday was the lack of rarrtotlc dec.rwa-tlons. Very few houses were decorated.

The Free Press office, one of the saloons and a few of the residences showed that patriotism was not entirely dead. A tule, however, there was a lamentable lack of outward token of the great event the American people are supposed to celebrate. Several private picnic parties were held. All the buggies In town were engaged a week or more previous, and family part If went to 'he country. The thermometer's nnusua: vagaries for the past wek were probably largely responsible for the apathy which apparently settled upon the usually patriotic residents of the Gem City.
