Onlyone change was made ia the day aadthat was changing of the moving picture show which wsa to take place onthe street was given in the North Operahouse, in order that every personwho wished could be accomodated.
Neighboring towns were well re-
presented sad especially Platte Canter.Even the business men of this busylittle city closed shop doors, barredthe windows aad came to Columbus tocelebrate.
The Platte Center band made its firstappearance on that day and they are tobe congratulated upon the able mannerin which the handled the pieces theyreadered. The Columbus bead alsofurnished music for the dsy which wasgreatly appreciated.' Columbus vs. Platte Center played a
game of base ball lata in the afrernooaat the ball ground just south of theUnion Pacific coal chute. From thebegining Platte Center held the wisinghand. The game resulted iaajvictoryfor the visiting team with a score of 7 to8. ,
At ten o'clock the parade formed oneast 13th street near the B& M depotand many of the leadiag business menwere well represented.
Grand Marshall Baker and his aidsfollowed by Mayor G. W. Phillipsheaded the parade. Peter Schmidt at-
tracted much attention being dressedin a German Army uniform. L. W.Snow proprietor of one of the lea dingbook stores had a very attractive carri-age load of Teddy bears out viewingthe sights, while the Columbus BrewingCompany, Keating and Schram, Columbus roller mills. L. W. Weaver &Son and Carl Roslle the tinner were allwell represented. T. W.Herriek had avery attractive float representing alittle girls tea party and several piecesof the latest cuts in furnirure were seenupon the float.
Friedhof & Co. was well representedby Mr. Friedhof and all of his sssiBtswtswho occupied two carriages beautifullydecorated. L. W. Phillips' float couldnot enter the parade as it was too high topass beneath the Electric Light wireserossiag the atresia, It was-- - said to be.one of the best and most attractive floatsever prepared for a parade in this cityand it was much regretted by all thatthe float could not be admitted. Fiftyyoung ladies seated upon a float decor-ated in the national colors sang many ofthe patriotic songs and made a very at-
tractive float. vThe Fire Department with its equipage
trimmed in the pa'triotie colors addedmuch praise to the parade. Then followed the pony and automobile sections,with the Columbus aad Platte Centerbands, which both furnished good music
Following the parade there was a lit-erary program at Frankfort Park inwhich the Columbus and PlatteCenter bands took part. Hob. W. N:Hensley of this city was orator of theday and delivered a very interestingoration. Rev. Lotan DeWolfe, pastor ofthe M. E. Church delivered the invoca-tion. Mayor G. W. Phillips deliveredthe address of welcome and it was greatly appreciated by all his listeners.
The afternoon program wsa carried oatas published in our last issue. The footracing was one of the main .features es-
pecially for the small boys who came outvictorious.
The Aerial Lucase's great feature actswere the best ever seen in the streets ofColumbus and much credit is due boththe actors and the committee who wereso fortunate in securiajr these performers.
Many, old aa well as young enjoyedthe music, ss well as the rides of theMerry-Go-Bou- nd both afteanoon aadevening
The watea fight in which Ed BraaigaaT. Moerson Jr., Walter Pitmaa aad Jac-ob Ernst were contestants, lasted aboutthirty minutes. It was a fierce battlefrom beginning to end as neither sidewould give up and it was finally decideda draw.
The fire-wor- ks was the last on theprogram and took place on east Ilthstreet near the Electric Light Plant andwas undoubtedly the best ever held inColumbus.
The Isst but not least whieh the wri-ter wishes to speak stout were the restrooms which were nicely prepared forthe visiting ladies, this alone made manyfriends for this city especially among theladies.
