BIG CROWD ENJOYS
FINE CELEBRATION
Hundreds of visitors from Fair
banks and points along the Govern
ment railroad, ideal weather and a
splendid program combined to make
Nenana’s fourth observance of In
dependence Day one of the best
celebrations ever enjoyed in In
terior Alaska. There was something
doing almost all the time, from the
hour of starting on Saturday aft
ernoon until the celebration came
to an end at an early hour this
morning, and everybody had a good
time. The entire program was car
ried out as originally planned, with
the exception of the motorboat races
and the tug-of-war, for which other
events were substituted which prov
ed highly entertaining to the crowd.
The celebration was opened with
patriotic exercises at the Coliseum
on Saturday afternoon, the program
consisting of songs and drills by
school children and an oration by
Robert Joseph Diven.
After the exercises came a fea
ture show at the Coliseum, fol
lowed by the grand ball at Union
hall, which was very largely attend
ed and much enjoyed.
On the morning of the Fourth
the opening game of the baseball
series was played at the ball park
between Nenana and Fairbanks, the
borne team taking the game, three
to two. The game was umpired by j
I. J. Buckley for Fairbanks and '■
Ralph Dutcher for N’enana, both
riving excellent satisfaction.
The afternoon was given over to ]
athletic contests, followed by the j
second baseball game shortly after i

four o’clock, this game going to
Fairbanks, eight to seven, ten in
nings.
The day closed with another fea
ture at the Coliseum, entitled “Polly
of the Circus.” and excellent pic
ture, which will be repeated tonight
for the benefit of those who did not
see it Sunday.
Additional sports were held on A
street yesterday afternoon, chiefly
for the benefit of the ladies and
children, and the program was huge
ly enjoyed. Another dance at Union
hall last night ended the celebra
tion.
The first visitors reached town
early Saturday afternoon from
Healy and points along the railroad
south of Xenana. There were con
siderably more than 100 on the
train, and as many more arrived
from Fairbanks later in the day on
the excursion from that direction.
Every hotel and rooming-house in
Xenana was filled and many of the
visitors were taken care of in pri
vate homes.
The Fairbanksans returned home
on Sunday evening, followed by a
second train filled with Xenanaites
enroute to the upper town to help
Fairbanks celebrate. The Healy
train left yesterday evening, taking
most of the commission employes
and contractors back to work.
A shower of rain Saturday eve
ning settled the dust and dispersed
the mosquitoes, and Sunday dawned
clear and cool, with a breeze blow
ing most of the day. The sky was
somewhat oyercast yesterday, but
there was no rain and no mosqui
toes.

Fairbanks Games.
The Nenana ball players went
down to defeat in both of the games
played at Fairbanks yesterday, the
score of the first game being 10 to 0
and that of the second game, last
evening, 8 to 7. The Nenana team
went to Fairbanks considerably
I weakened by the loss of Ike Tay
lor, who sprained his ankle during
the second Nenana game, but George
Kennedy joined the team in the
upper town and, without previous
preparation, played true to his old
form in centerfield.
The Nenana boys played in hard
luck last night, otherwise it might
have been a different story, but it
is generally admitted that the Fair
banks team, with DeWitt in the box,
is a hard combination to beat.
