LARGE CROWD ENJOYS
ANNUAL CELEBRATION
—
With a large number of visitors in
town from Fairbanks and numerous
camps along the railroad, Nenana is
celebrating Independence Day in a
manner that is decidedly creditable
to those in charge of the festivities.
The program as a whole is a better
one than any previously arranged
with a number of features of excep
tional merit, all of which are being
greatly enjoyed.
The celebration started on Tues
day evening with a number of track
events on A street, followed by a
feature picture at the Coliseum, dur
ing the course of which Miss Cecil
Leweaux, contralto, made her first
appearance in Interior Alaska, in a
number of classical selections which
were very much enjoyed. Miss Lew
eaux is a real artist, with a won
derfully sweet voice with which is
combined a pleasing personality
which has won her many friends dur
ing the brief time she has been in
Nenana. Miss Leweaux was heard
again last night, in an exclusive con
cert program and she will make her
! final appearance tonight, singing a
| number of the old songs, including
| “The Rosary’’, “Cotnin Through the
Rye” and “Loves Old Sweet Song.”
Miss Leweaux and her mother Dr.
Lewcwaux. and her accompanist,
Miss Winnifred Worrell plan to re
turn to the coast tomorrow, enroute
to their homes in Portland.
The first dance of the celebration
took place on Tuesday night, bring
ing the first day to a very success
ful dose. Another and very largely
attended dance was given last night
both of the dances being given un
der the auspices of the Nenana Base
ball boys.
Yesterday's festivit.es started in
the morning with a patriotic pro
gram under the direction of Mrs. A.
B. Phillips and Mrs. W. C. Stein
metz. There was an invocation by
Rev. Robert G. Tatum who also
read the Declaration of Independence
! and an address of welcome by Frank
j Teufel, Mayor, followed by singing
: of The Star Spangled Banner by the
pupils of Franklin K. Lane. An in
jterestirg feature of the exercises was
•the excellent music provided by the
Nenana Brass band.
The Fairbanks train arrived short
ly before noon, bringing the Fair
banks ball team and a number of
fans, and the opening game of the
! series between the visitors, and the

local nine took place at Athletic d
park during the afternon, result
ng in a very one-sided score of which
the Fairbanks team had very much
the long end. The outstanding fea
tures of the game were the heavy
hitting of the Fairbanksans and the
poor fielding of the Nenana boys. De
Witt and Wood were the battery
for the visitors and Hupprieh and
Blakey for the Nenana team. It was
an off day for Nenana. but the
home boys are hopeful of making a
better showing this afternoon in the
second game of the series, which
was in progress at the Rime of going
to press.
Aviator Ben Eileson, who is down
on the program for the main event
of the celebration, arrived from
Fairbanks shortly after ten o’clock
having made the trip from Fair
banks to Nenana. with R. C. Wood
as a passenger, in the new Curtis
plane which arrived from the States
last Saturday. The arrival of the
plane was somewhat delayed by a
detour on the trip down. Aviator
Eileson having missed Nenana by a
considerable margin, going as far
south as Clear creek before discov- I
ering his mistake. He covered about I
twice the distance necessary.
There was many people at the S
park to welcome the first plane to
land in Nenana and they were treat- -
ed to a splendid sight, the trim lit- -
tie craft making several circles a
round the town before descending
gracefully to the landing field. Mr.
Wood developed a case of air sickness
during the descent to the field and
had to be lifted from the plane, but
he recovered quickly after getring
his feet on the ground.
Aviator Eileson is scheduled for
a spectacular aerial exhibiton this
afternoon or evening the time of his
flight depending upon weather con- “
ditions, and he will return to Fair- O
banks after the exhibition is con- ji
eluded. The Nenana exhibition will ji
include all kinds of turning and will Ji
mark the first appearance of an a- Ji
viator in Alaska in that kind of |«
flying. |j
Another of the star features of
the celebration was staged at Union ij
hall last night in connection with ij
the dance was the fancy roping ex- ij
hibrtion given by Miss Jane Ber- 1 j
noudy, of Seward, who has the |
distinction of being the champion 0
woman lariat artist of the world, “
and who has had a notable career
in movie and rodeo work in Califor- o
nia and elsewhere. Her exhibition p
last night was a finished perform- li
ante, the first of the kind ever E
seen in Interior Alaska, and it e
proved a rare treat to the many
who were present in the hall. Miss c
Bernoudy uses a number of ropes o
of different lengths in the course of k
her exhibition, finishing with sixty n
feet of lariat. One of her special
stunts is to spin a rope blindfolded ti
jumping through the loop apparent- tl
ly with as much ease as she doe? B
without the blind. Her entire ex- c;
hibition went over without a hitch tl
and she was the recipient of enthu- o
siastic applause. She is scheduled
to appear again this afternoon at P
the park and possibly will give a e
final exhibition on A street this
evening. She will return to Seward n
tomorrow.
