The universal opinion of the 2,50(
visitors who enjoyed yesterday's pro
gram was to the effect that th<
Fourth of July celebration given bi
the people of Anchorage was a com
plete success even to the minutes
detail, from the starting of the pa
ade at 9:30 o’clock in the moning t(
the grand finale, the Firemen'!
dance. It was one continual roum
of pleasure, not a minute that then
was not something doing, excep
the intermission for luncheon befori
the baseball game. The crowd wai
exceptionally well-behaved and en
tered into the spirit of the day liki
true Americans.
The business houses were elabor
ately decorated and there was m
lack of the proper spirit of patriot!
enthusiasm by the crowd. The ho
tels and restaurants were filled ti
the limit, the people were well takei
care of and there were no com
plaints
The committees in charge of thi
whole affair are deserving of al
praise and congratulations for it wa
a splendid success, not a particle o
trouble or delay and the committee
worked like a well-oiled machine
carrying each event to a speedy am
successful end.
Naturally every one was tired thi
morning but it was a satisfied tired
^ness for they were proud to be :
I^art of a community that can mak
history when it comes to pulling ol
a successful Fourth of July celebra
tion.
The parade headed by the Anchor
age band started promptly at 9:30
o’clock in the morning from the
corner of 4th avenue and K street.
E. R. Davidson dressed to represent
Uncle Sam was immediately in front
of the children who were followed
by the members of the Elks lodge
who carried canes decorated with the
lodge's colors, and wore straw hats
with the red, hite and blue band.
The members of the Moose lodge fol.
1 lowed, carrying flags and bunting.
The parade marched from K to C to
Recreation Park, where the grand
; stand was soon filled to capacity.
Judge Munly, from the speakers’
1 stand immediately in front of the
1 grand stand, in a few well chosen
and patriotic words introduced Judge
1 Leopold David who read the Declara
tion of Independence in a masterly
1 manner, the judge being in good
i voice and his enunciation perfect.
Attorney John M. Reid, as orator
i of the day, held the undivided inter
est of the grandstand audience for 20
■ minutes, being repeatedly interrupt
i ed by applause at the mention of the
: soul-stirring deeds of the fathers of
■ this country and his many patriotic
>1 sentences- The people honored the
i | national airs by respectfully rising,
-1 with heads bared when the band
sounded the first notes of America.
! The flag drill by the school chil
I dren, under the direction of Miss
i Murphy, was well executed and ap
' predated by the audience,
i The starting of the sport events
. rapidly followed in order and went
I through with a rush, keeping the
vast crowd that witnessed the events
5 from the grandstand and who literal
- ly surrounded the park in a constant
i pitch of excitement and interest.
> The first event—50-yard dash for
f boys, was won by Thoralf Peterson,

Lee third. Time 8 seconds.
