Town Full of Welcome Visitors Who Enjoy the Day. Geyser's Second Attempt 'at Celebrating. Will Improve as Years Go By. Geysers second attempt to celebrate the Fourth was pulled off last Friday, and in spite of rain the night before, was a success in a great many ways. The Stanford band came up on the morning train and the Fourth really commenced when the music started. The shooting of clay pidgeons interested a good crowd the first thing, and in the first event Freseman took first, Moody second and Sanders third. In the second Sanders took first, Frese- man second and Moody third. A few selections by the band and the crowd gathered at the Pavillion where they enjoyed a band concert, numbers by the mail quartette, and an interesting, patriotic and inspiring addsess by Rev. Haney of Stanford. Dinner was an- nounced and the Geyser Hotel took special pains in caring for its guests. After dinner the athletic field was the center of attraction. Belknap, Freseman and Blain made the 100 yard dish interesting, and Freseman and Belknap took first in the three legged race and Proper and Suter took second prize. After the athletic sports came the bucking contest in which G. Nelson carried first money and Bob Morris, second prize which was divi- ded with .Pete Skelton. All the riders were excellent and the crowd admired the manner in which they clung to their steeds. In the free-for-all Mark Preston se- cured 1st prize and Pete Skelton 2nd. The pony race prize was won by Joe McDonald, and Stanford Skelton took 2nd money. ' The ball game was called and the crowd around the diamond was en- thusiastic. Th game was advertised between Geyser and Spion Kop, but the latter failedsto appear, so Geysers 2nd nine volunteered to make the 1st nine play ball which they did to the satisfaction of the rooters. Proper and Freseman, batteries for the 1st nine were in good trim and played good ball. The game resulted as follows: Geyser 1st 0 0 0 0 1 3 4-8 2nd 1 2 0 0 1 0 0-3 The crowd scattered for supper, but gathered again at the Vert bowery and witnessed a wrestling match between Otto Sutter and Art Moulter of Wis- consin.
