It was an ideal day, and if a large crowd has anything to do with a successful Fourth of July, it certainly was in evidence at Fair Oaks. They came from all directions far and near, by railroad, in wagons, buggies, on bicycles and some on foot, until the town was literally overrun with a happy, goodnatured crowd of humanity, all bent on enjoying themselves. The crowd was estimated at about 2,000 people, several hundred being from Rensselaer. An excellent program had been arranged by the management and was all carried out with a few exceptions owing to the non-appearance of some of those entered The (orenoon’s program consisted of well rendered music by the Fair Oaks choir, followed by an able and appropriate address and reading of the Declaration of Independance by Chas. W. Hanley, of-Rens-selaer, and was listened to by a large and interested*'audience In the afternoon first came the base ball game between the Gifford and Shelby teams, but it was rather a one sided affair, resulting in a score of 23 to 1 in Gifford’s favor. A large crowd witnessed the game. Next came the principal feature of the day, the free-for-all half-mile running race and resulted as follows: “King Cotton,” owned by Jasper Wright, of Mt. Ayr, first money, $25; “Lady Grace,” owned by John Carder, of Fair Oaks, second money, $10; “Baby Ruth,” owned by John Wiseman, third money $5. Two best in three. Time hot taken. Dancing all afternoon and evening was another notable event of the program and hundreds of people tripped the light fantastic in spite of the. extremely hot rays of “Old Sol ” The day’s festivities closed with a creditable display of fire works in the evening. The refreshment stands were in clover all day aiul did a rushing business, as did also the hotel and boarding houses. Takdn all together the Fourth of July, 1901, at Fair Oaks, was a great day and ances occurred on the grounds to mar the pleasures of the large crowd.

One of the stand pipes at the depot has been leaking badly for the past six months, it is said, sending enough water through the sewer into Makemself ditch to supply several families with water.

For meals he allots “aboutso,” though he states positively that no allowance is made here for “cold ones,” and thus confesses the gormandizing habit of the Kansas profesh. Think of an editor consuming $1.25 worth of solid food a day for four days in succession!
