TALE OF THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
There was so much to the. big two
day's celebration that the etory of It all
cm be but briefly told where tha space
i* to limited and the crush of three
days' important news is clamoring for
its eharo of what there Is.
Briefly it wss a great success and the
program was carried out to prettv
nearly to the lettor. A beautiful day
was sandwiched , into a week that has
been only passable.
The celebration was inaugurated
Friday night by a dance at which all
Skagway turned out and at which the
final votes were cast in the Goddess of
Liberty contest which has been a
warmly fought battle on behalf or the
friends of the several candidates. Miss
Blenda Lvndahl, however, won by a
largo majority, receiving 1,196 votes,
while the next highest contestant, Miss
Lillian Doran, received 694.
The band played the reveille in front
of Elks' hall and there was a good
assemblage when the opening chorus
was sung and Rev. Mr. Good said the
invocation.
The oration delivered by Judge
Royal A. Gunnison, was one to stir the
blood? a strong appeal to the patriot*
Ism of his hearers, delivered in master
ly fashion. It was a fitting introduc
tion indeed to two dnys' of celebration,
a sotting forth of the reasons why we
are the favored nation.
The program was a little late in
getting started here and the train bad
arrived from over the hill before it was
through. The band was therefore
called away to greet the visitors. The
train, on the other hand, was a little
early and brought a big bunch of live
ones from the various points beginning
at WhiWborse.
In the mean time the features of the
parade wert getting into line. These
assembled about the south end of
Broadway and along the side streets
under the marshalship of Dan Pullen
dressed in bis West Point grey, and
astride a good horse. His chief Wid
wasJohti.f. Chambers.
The parade was formed in the follow
ing order: Wagner's Skagway band,
Goddess ot Liberty, Judge Gunnison,
orator of the day; Are department
headed by Rebei t Sheldon in auton o
bil? nude by himself; dogomoblle
driven by Mr. Yoema.'a, with n Alas
ka wolf and malamute a? power, Yot.
uitins drened a* a native; The Daily
Alaikan floa', printing In colors a min
iature edition of the Alaskan, the first
dally newspaper printed In the district,
the miniature edition being dated July
4, 1770, and affection to give che news
as it might hare appeared in a daily
issued on the afternoon of the day the
Declaration of Independence was signed,
with editorial treatment of the news,
all somewhat coupled with modern
facilities. The Alaskan-bora children,
some si?ty in number, followed the Al
askan float and behind these, and bring
ing up the resr, was the Arctic Brother
hood.
The procession followed the route out
lined and on Broadway passed the
judres stand. The judges were Lieut.
Orchard, Assistant District Attorney
Barnhill and Mr. E. J. Shaw. They
awarded the first prize to the fire de
partment primarily because of the au
tomobile and to Mr. Yoemans the sec
ond prize because of the unique charac
ter of his exhibit. The parade dismiss
ed on Its return to Broadway and the
children went to Elk's hall where chey
were photographed.
The crowd immediately repaired to
the ball giound where the 100 yard
dash was ruti with Mullen well in the
lead, Victor Sparks seeond, with
Jimmy Fryar third.
Noon was now near at hand and an
interval was taken for lunch. At 1:30
the great ball game was on the list and
the grand stand was crowded. This
was the event of tno day according to
the schedule and precedent. Here was
where the moDey in bunches was ex
pected to change hands. The game
cannot bo gone into here. It was won
by White Pass by a score of 3 to 1.
The White Pass line-up was the
same as usual with the exception of
short stop where an "unknown" oallod
