Fourth of July Crackers
The Modern laundry had an origiinal
display, which attracted favorable
comment.
The streets were in excellent condi
tion for the parade and athletic
events.
The wives and sweethearts of the
Radio boys were enthusiastic rooters
for the navy team.
John Gillis was marshal of the pa
rade, and he made a very capable and
dignified officer of the day.
A bevy of the fair sex occupied one
of the auto trucks in the parade and
whooped 'er up all along the line.
The miniature traps and display of
frozen fish on the Carlisle Packing
Company’s float were all to the good.
The sporting events were in charge
of George Dooley and Fred Tracy, with
Dr. W. H. Chase as master of cere
monies.
Too much credit can not be given
Dr. W. H. Chase for the successful
manner in which yesterday’s program
was carried out.

wing of A. J. MacConnell, discoursed

There may ljave been other “per
fect” days, but none that better
pleased our people than the one we
experienced yesterday.
“The Pride of Cordova” was promi
nently displayed in a large clam which
formed part of the attractive float of
the Pioneer Packing Company.
A number of wrestling bouts are
taking place this afternoon on the
grand stand in front of the Empress
theater, and a tug of war is booked
for tonight.
Major Jack Hamilton, “the Hun
fighter,” gave Cordovans a touch of!
the interesting things he has to tell
of his experiences overseas, when he
lectures at the Empress theater Mon
day night.
The newly-organized local band did
itself proud yesterday, discoursing mu
sic that was greatly enjoyed. It also
demonstrated the fact that there is
the talent here for an excellent brass
organization.
The Radio ball team is composed of
a fine bunch of young men, who kept
the Cordova club on its toes through
out yesterday’s game, and when they
play here again the park will be
crowded with fans.
