That the parade presented so many striking and beautiful conceptions in. ithe way of decorative effect that it was at any conclasion as to what.was most meritorious, The parade as a whole may be’ fairly said to be a: credit to the city and county, “and would compare favorably. with those of much larger communities. As to prizes for floats, we do not hesitate to say that if the Goddess of Liberty was not barred from competition, we should have awarded the first prize to that float. And this remark does not in fact detract from the oredit due to other decorated vehicles. Phat we recommend the following prizes: Best decorated carriage—Oalifornia poppy, N. D.G. W. of Grass Valléy\ Floate—Best, Shakespeare Olub; 2d best, Piety Hill Hose Oo, No. 5. Bicyles—Ruth Moore. We are ‘sorry the Committee did not provide a prize for the best trap, The vehicle decorated in red carnations and occupied by the Native Daughters displayed marked akill and taste, and deserves a prize. Mas, Jos. M. ANpmRsoN, Mrs. Bette WHicHER, Jos, M. ANDERSON, JoHN WHICHER. Committee. No Aceldents. With all the concourse of people that filled our streets yesterday and in the passing to and fro of vebicles,‘ together with the movements fncident to forming the big parade, not an accident occurped to mar the day’s pleasure. This was a noticeable fact and was freely commented upon by many. The peace of the city as far as fights ‘were concerned was unbroken with the exception of a little difficulty that could hardly be designated as a “scrap.” : Last Night's Alarm. Shortly after eight o’clock last evening an alarm of fire was turned in on account of a blaze that occurred on a float, in which were seated several little girls. Bystanders soon washed to the childrens’ aid and exScrap Sunday Night There was a hot time on Broad street for a short time Sunday night, when two well-known men got into a mixup. A friend of one of the belligerents jumped in to etop the scrap, and had his eye-glasses badly smashed. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is isonly one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitational remedies. Deafness is caused by en inflamed condition of the mucous ning of the Eustachian Tube. When the tube is inflamed you have a rumbling souhd or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness isghe resalt, and anless ‘he inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its pormal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Oatarrh, which is nothing bat an near condition of ucous services. ‘We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by eatarrh) that cannot be cdred by Hall’s Catarrh Oure.

Yesterday was an ideal one for the celebration of the Nation’s birthday, and from early morning antil late at night people kept coming into town and the principal business streets were packed and thronged with humanity. The day was ushered in by the ringing of bells and the firing of salutes and passed off without serious accident to either individuals or property. The celebration of the 128th Anniversary of American Independence has now passed into. history, but the fact remains that the demonstration at Nevada Oity was one of the moat satisfactory and successful of any that has ever been given in the county and that Nevada City has covered herself with glory and acqaitted herself with credit in the efforts made to entertain the outside public. Besides the multitude of people which came from interior towns, adjoining counties and other sections of the State, there was a tremendous throng of visitors who came from Grass Valley to assist in making the celebration the great success that it was. From Grass Valley alone it is estimated that there was fully 8000 patriotié people who came to the county seat, abd in fact the rush for traneportation accommodations was so great that the Nevada Oounty Traction Comp:ny wae unable to handle the passenger traffic on the electric road notwithstanding that four care were worked to their full-capacity. But this was more than supplicd by the accommodating officials of the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad, who also ran excarsion cars to and from Grass Valley, and ran a special return train at night so that everybody was accommodated and no one discommoded to any great extent. MORNING PARADE. The morning parade proved to be the grandest-and finest pageant of the kind ever seen in Nevada county and people from neighboring towos and afar were profuse in their flattering comment as to ite great merit. The procession wae @ long and elaborate one but wae admirably formed and maneuvered by Grand Marshal Herman Brand and his corpe of efficient aides. , Shortly after 11 o’clook the big pageant moved down Broad street in the following order: Grand Marshal’ Brand, Aseistant Grand Marehal G, W.

LITERARY EXEROISES. The literary exercises at the theatre were of an unuaually attractive nature and were conceded as a whole to be the best ever rendered in Nevada county. The hall was filled to the doots, and many were anable to gain admission to the edifice, The stage and proscenjum of the theatre was beautifully and tastfully decorated with the national colors, and 3 large American flag formed an appropriate background to the throne occupied by the Goddess of Liberty. The scene as a whole was a beantifal and inspiring one and reflected great credit on the merit of the hendiwork of the decorators. : The aseemblage was called to order by Mayor Ohapman, president of the day.

MoOalle of the United States Navy, the orator of the day, delivered one of the moat.inetructive end interesting addressees ever eiven in thie city, and he held the andivided attention of his audience from beginning to end. Although no orator, ae he anoouaced on the start, he reviewed the achievements and history of the United States Army and Navy from the Revolutionary War until the
present time in a masterly and spirited manner. The great accomplishments and eervice rendered by Uncle Sam’s boys of the Army and Navy in the Philippines, mach of which came under bis own personal observation aud experience, were recited in graphic style, and he paid a high tribate to the great work doné by the defenders of the American Nation. In concluding. hie remarks the Admiral paid a high compliment to the work just begun by the Navy League to secure the building of a large and efficient Navy to defend and care for this country’s welfare on the water, and stated that the branch League just organized here waa the first in the interior of the State to take action in this important matter, and join with the head or. ganization of the State to accomplish the end desired. The speaker emphatically rged the necessity of America having one of the best equipped and competent navies in the world and that in case of sea war with a foreign power the people of the Pacific Ooast would be the first to approiate the great benefit and protective power of the same. At the close of the Ad miral’s remarke be was greeted with prolonged applause. The mext namber was a musical selcotion by a chorus of male singers and. wae excellently given, William Moore of Grass Valley leading-as e0loist. ses The stage was then cleared and a flag drill by s'xteen young misses from our public schools was given and proved to be a novel and one of. the most pleesing features of entire exerclees. The young ladies were all handscmely cost umed in National golors and each carried a beautiful the occasion. To march music of piano and orchestra they went through the drill without a flew, and executed the many difficult movements with a preec aion. and esse that won for them a great outburst of applause when they ceded to be one of the Anest features of thie kind ever given in the city and reflected great credit ot the inetractor, Miss Gertrade Goyne, who so euch a degree of perfection.
