OBSERVING THE
GLORIOUS
FOURTH
What the People or Scranton Did to Celebrate
tli3 Occasion.
LONG LIST OF ATTRACTIONS
Fine Races at the Driving Park Ath
letic Games at Laurel Hill Park.
Eisteddfod at Lake Ariel Picnic
and Patriotic Demonstration (it
Sanderson's Park All Attracted
Large Crowds of People Events
Described in Detail.
Independence Day of '!M was ushered
in amid the tooling of horns, the deaf
ening roar of cannon, the blazing of
bonfires, sizzling of crackers and all
the outward manifestations of an ear
nest desire on the part of tbe good peo
ple of Scranton to give full vent to their
pent up enthusiasm. It expired ninld
the spluttering of rockets, which sang
their hosannas to the clouds to an .ac
companiment ot volley after volley of
crackers ot all sizes, conditions and
colore
Whon the last rocket had sputtered
and the report of the cracker bad died
out until it resembled a skirmish heard
faintly from the distance, the patriotic
Scrantonlau retired to his couch to en
joy in quiet much needed rvpose. while
Chief of the Fire Department Ferbet
returned fervid thanks. Though at
tacked on all sides by the fire fiend the
city bad been preserved intact.
Though there was no spread eagle
demonstration in the city yesterday,
there were attractions sufficiently varied
to allow all to follow the vent of the
inclinations in observing the day. The
shower at 5 o'clock gomewhat marred
the pleasure of the day, but it lasted
only a short time and then the inter
rupted festivities were resumed. There
were elaborate decorations on the
buildings, public and private, in all
parts of the city.
INTERESTING BICYCLE RACES.
Thjusandi Saw Thsm at thn Srlviua-
Park Yiijtarday Afternoon.
The licycle raws at the Driving park
yesterday afternoon, conducts 1 by the
crantou Bicycle club, absorbed u
greater number of people than any one
event in or about the city. The cov
ered grand stand was crowded and the
temporary bleachers erected on either
tide of that weather-beaten aud dilapi
dated hulk were loaded with living
freight.
Within tbe enolosare encompassed
by the race track hundreds of persons
were lined up against the fence and the
scores of carriages were crowded with
persons who, from tile soats or top!.
surveyed tbe track and watched the
work of the lithe, brown-armed young
men who competed in the various
races. A conservative estimate placed
the number present at 5,001).
1 here was enthusiasm galore.
Whenever n favorite flushed over the
ribbon as a winner in any of the events
n storm of applauji', minglod with the
blare of horns, would burst forth and
h forest of canes, bedecked with colors,
describe circles aud angles through the
air.
A I'lCTntESQUE SCENE.
The graud stand presented a most
picturesque scene dnring the races.
It contained hundreds of ladies in
gay summer nttire, many ot them
wearing the colors of their favorite
club. The orange and black of Scran
ton was of course the most conspicuous,
but tho cnr'inal and black of Wilkes
Barre also fluttered from many femin
ine bosoms. Several ladies had impro
vised bands for their j-ninty sailor hats
out of cinb colors, lbs young men
went further, aud not only used tbe
colors for hat bund., bnt also decorated
themselves with neckties of orange and
black and badges of every conceivable
shape and color.
This study in color was further com
plicated by the many colors of uni
forms worn by the 'cyclers, the whole
forming a most impresuve picture
whenever a move of enthusiasm stirred
the assemblage.
The races were interesting and well
contested. witu a last track, a
favorable wind and perfect weather
tbe 'cyclers had everything in their
favor and could not have wisbsd for
anything better.
Scranton has reason to congratulate
itself on the showing its youug riders
made. Shiffer and Newman won first
prizo, Gilmore a second and Gregory
and Wuldner third prizes. Weyandt,
of Unntnore, also won a second prizi
and Winans.of fr'crantod, won a special
prize of a gold watob for being the
first man to cross the ribbon at the
halt mile in the one mile northeastern
Pennsylvania championship.
TRACK RECOKU ESTABLISHED.
F J. Titus. of New York, established
the very fast mils track record of 2 11
4-5 with a flying start and pacm tkers.
George. Taylor was advertised to
ride the mile, but felt unequal to the
task after riding tbe regular racws and
litus was substituted, lie is a young
man and a splendid wheolman. Tbe
record for the track heretofore has
been 2.19 2-5, which was made by Ty
ler last tali.
A combination mile state record was
also established in the one mile hanili
cap race, Taylor, the scratchman.
crossed tbe ribbon in 2.18 2 5 and IS ten-
son, who won the event with a seventy'
five yard handicap, flew over the rib
bon in 2. 17 4-5.
Ia tbe first race of the day occurred tho
only event that marred the occasion
A young man named Henrv Wilby. of
this city, who rode under the name of
Harry Waldner, was thrown from his
wheel and was(t first thought to be fat
allySinjured.IIeSras taken to the Lacka
wanna hospital, where be was last
night pronounced out of dangor.
During the last race the clouds began
to lower omlniously and tbe crowd had
scarcely began to disperse when the
large drops begau to descend and a few
moments Inter the rain was descend
ing in sheets.
WKRB A FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Aside from the Urge erowl and the
consequent financial success of tbe
meot, the results of the different races
more than amply paid the Sorauton
Bicycle club for all the expense and
troublesome details entailed by the
preparations ot the past six weeks,
Two first prizes, two second prizes and
two third prizes were won by repre
sentatives of tbe local club. In addi
tion, tho cold watch offered by the
Union Cyole company through Florey
& Bolt for the man first over tbe rib
bon at the half of tbe one-mile north
eastern Pennsvlvania hsmnionsblD.
Class A, race was woo by Wiaani who
help'd s.ivs tbe day for Scranton at
WillcoE-Burro the day previous.
The diamond prizes were worth $153,
$100 and $50 in tho bird, s-venth utid
tenth events; $50, 35 and $15 in the
second fourth, ninth nd eleventh
events; gold aud silvor medals in the
first event; a diamond lnedul vltid at
$30 in the sixth event, and n $100 dia
mond for tne exhibition mile.
The clang ot the judge's bell bei'oro
the one-mile uovme race was tho sig
nal for the laurels to bealn to shower
about the Scranton men. Tbe five en
tries were well bunched as the stretoh
was entored on thn last halt. Woll,

tlm final spurt swerved in front of
Walduer, ot Scrauton, and the latter

ner, was completely pumped out at the
fiuish and thn Pittsburg wonder could
have ridden around him iu another
furlong. However, the Pottsville boy
won the race through li.inkor's tardi
ness and gave u better account ot him

An illustration of tbe bad results of
team work occurred in tho one-mile

awarded to Tuylor and Brandt. It does
not seem that tho ludges actiou was
warranted.

BANKER'S great work.
Banker, of Pittsburg, showed In tbe
one mile state championship race what
n really wonderful pace he can main
tain and what a worry he is to his op
ponsnts in a battle royal finish. In the
field of eleven starters Banker got de

A NEW RECORD MADS
The state combination race record
of 2:19 25 was expected to be daugor
onsly nenr to smithereens when thn
Class B crackajacks came on for the
handicap nt one mile, hut uobo ly sup
posed the record would bi annihilated.
It was complutelysmashed, us was also
tbe track record. The haudicappjr
had scratched hit houd to a ntoety
when be established the following:
Taylor, scratch; Titus, 10 yards;
Murphy, 15 yards; Hilferr, B5 yards;
Brandt, 45 yards. Stenson, 75 yards;
Allen, 85 yards. At the first half San
son's lend seemed safe and he showed
the field the way around tbe first
tnr l of tlm second half, with Allen
midway between him and the bunch.
Allen was headed ou the far turn by
Titus and Murphy soon followed. As
they swung home the order was, Sten
son, 15 yards to the good, Titus, Mur
phy, Allen, Taylor, Helfert. Stenson
won hands down aud Murphy to k set)
ond place' from Titus only a few feet
from the wire.
Had Taylor put on steam a furlong
soouer he might have had a look-in for
second or third. As it was he lnide the
distance in 2 18 2 5 and established a
utw reeord by 1 second for the Driving
park track.

Corser, Pottsville, wen the one mile
open, Class A, aud incldsntly showed
Banker his heels. The thirteen start
ers took matters easy on the first bait
and filed past the grand stand well
bunched with Banker in the ruck,
Krick. of Rsading, in the 'lead, and
Cerser in a fair position near the lead
ers and on the rail. After making the
first quarter turn Corser, profiting by
bis experlencs earlier iu the day,
humped his baok all the way to the
last tarn, where ha had Krick in trou
ble and was' ready to try conclusions
with Banker who sure enough collared
him in the streteb, Corser, however,
let out reef and kept elear of Banker,
who won second nlace frem red-headed

Ia the half-mile open, class B. was
witnessed one of the moat exciting
races ot the day und the time, 1. 14 2 5,
was good considering au uccident
which happened early In the race.
There were six starters. McLaughlin.
of Columbia, as usnnl got the best ot
the pistol and at the first turn was fif
teen yards to the good wheu a boy
standing nenr the rail was struck by
MeLaughila'a handle bar and toppled
over on the track. lit quickly re
gained his feet and senrriud oil the
track. McLaughlin 'kept pumping
along and gained sovoral more yards
on the field. The others hud noticed
tbe collisiou and slowed up. Goiug up
the back Btretch the Columbia man
was easily thirty yards to the good of
Stonson and Brandt who were leading
the others. Taylor and Murnhv were
last in the order namod. Before tho
last turn 'was reached thev ODened
throttle andontored tho streteh fourth
and third. McLaughlin gave up the
t.' lion t before the strelch was reached.
Taylor headed and passed Titus a
furlong from tha wire but Murphy was
winded and could not do btier thuti
juat boat Stenson out at the finish.
Tenth event Onn-half milo, onon; class
B; Taylor, first; Titus, second; Murphy,
third; Stenson, fniiith; Brandt, fifth;
McLaughlin, sixth; time, 1.14 2-5.
The Wilkes-Barre cohorts went mad
with joy when Keller, to whom they
pinned their faith, woo the Class A,
two-mile handicap, from Lwis, of
Swarthmore, by a hair-breadtb. There
were thirteen starters and the first
mile was slow and on tho waiting order,
but the last three-quarters would have
maile Snapper Gairisou's hair carl. It
looked iu tho earlier stages ofHhe raco
as though the handicapper had over
reached himself. The fivld was di
vided into two distinct bunches for
the first mile and a quarter with Stev
ens, of Heading; Jamos, Wilkes-Barre,
and Lewis, of Swarthmore, as leaders
of tho first division. No material
change was made nntil the baokstretoh
In the last half was reached, when
Keller, who had acquired the opeu
tore away from the second bunch and
played tail end in the-follow-your-leader
game into the stretch. Lewis,
of Swarthmore, was with Keller and
could not be shaken more than a foot,
by which margin the Wilkes-Darretin
won. Measure, of Philadelphia, third
was all pumped out at the end and had
to be supported from the track.

TITUS' EXHIBITION MILE.
Taylor, who was carded to ride an
exhibition mile with pacemakers to win
a $100 diamond if better time than 2:10
wua made, was unable to ride aud
Titus took bis place. The result wus
2:114-5, but he wonld have been at
least one second better if Stenson, the
third-quarter pacemaker, had made a
Utter pick-up. McLaughlin paced the
hist quarter, Brandt tbe second, Sten
son the third aud Allen the last. The
two former sot a cracking pace
and Titus was going stroug until bten
son picked him up on the third quart
er. Slenson was slow and took fifteen
yards to get tbo lead. He tried to
make it up before meeting Allen at tbe
bead of tbe stretch, but tbe damage
had been done. Allen was in trouble
a furlong from the finish and Titus
passed under the wire alone. His time
of 2:114-5 was much better than ex
pected of him, considering hit weary
pacemakers.
Aside from the disqualifying of Mur
phy, the following efficient officials
contributed in a great degree to tbe
success of the meeting; Keferee, P. S.

PARADE IN THE MORNING.
A Large Numbr of Bicycle Riders Were
in Line.
From an hour previous to the lime
announced for the starting of the
morning bicycle parade until it had
piRSd along the various streets fully
153,000 people lined the sidewalks to
see the men glide by, and perhaps 5,000
more occupied windows, porches and
other sightly positions. After it was
all over a half doz mi bicyclists, stran
gers in tho city, who stood in front of
the Westmiuster, pronounced the pro
cession one of the finest local u Hairs
that had been given in the state. It
was also the general verdict that in
point of numbers, pace and on
pearancri the parade was far and away
better than the one or the day previous
at Wilkes Barre.
A commendable feat lira w.n the lack

two monnted policemen swung into
Spruoe street toward Wyoming tbe
expressions of approbation began and
did not cease until the route bad been
rsversed. The line was headed bv W.
S. Freeman, pacemaker, and consider-
ug the frequent breaks caused by the
eleotrio oars, the speed was even aud
well maintained.
CLUBS THAT WERE IN LINE.
The Lawrence baud was followed by
the visiting clubs as follows: Century
wheelmen. Philadelphia; Willlainsport
Cycle club, Wllliarasport; West End
wheelmen, Wilkes-Barre; Anthracite
wheelmen, Pittstou; Carbomlale

II. C. Lucas, marshal, and C. II.
Price and F. A. Ilinterineistor, assist
ants, conducted the parade over the
following route: Washington to
Spruce, to Wyoming, to Linden, to
franklin, to Lackawanna, to Washing
ton, to Spruce, toJeflr'on, to Gibson,
to Adams, to V ine, to Washington. At
the Bicycle Club house, the line was
reviewed by Mavor Counell. A. J. Col-
born, A. F. Duffy and C. B. Pratt, the
judges selected to award a water color
painting to the largest club and a sil
ver pitcher and goblot to the best ap
pearing club.
Jhe parade indges awarded both
prizes to the Wilkes-Barre club, and,
everything considered, tho decision
was a just one.
Along the line of parade the con-
icnxus of opinion was that the Cen
tury's, of Philadelphia, in their nutty
bun suits, topped with jaunty cherry
colored caps, would win the silver
trophy. The gentler sex, particularly,
cluug to this opiuion. Nevertheless the
Willinmsport men had it host of ad
mirers who ventured the prediction
that tho men from the city of floods
would win the laurel.
It seemed h foregone coneltision that
the Wilkes-Barreans would wiu the
paintiug. Their Bixty men pumped
ulong with the precision of solliery
und judging from the plaudits they re
ceived, one would not suppose they rep
resented the Ulster city which uapirts
to a rivalry with Scranton.
SCRANTON IIAI THE LARUEST NUMUER.
Our own Scranton boys, of course.
showed np the strongest in point of
numbers und had it not been for the
indelicacy of the action could undoubt
edly have won both the prizes.
ine other cluba in line ureseuted a
fine appearance and oach contributed a
full share to the success of the event.
Judging from the number and good
ridiug of over a hundred unattached
wheelmen, there is an excellent and
available stock for local bicycle clubs
to draw upon for iucreased member
ship.
Among the well-known bicyclists
from abroad who appeared in the line
were C. A. Dimon. of Cvcling. Phila
delphia, ond Frank Deitrick.of Wilkes-
Barre. who officiated as judges at the
races, and P. S. Collins, of Philadel
phia, the referee. Our own deputy
protbonotary, the only Myron Kusson,
was among the tail end . out neverthe
less famous men who brought up tho
rear ot tne pageant.
THE CALEDONIAN GAMES.

The parade of tho Caledonians yes
terday morning was one of the finest
