NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA ---The Fourth of July will soon be
here in all its promised blaze of glory and Mrs, Belle Douglass, who
isthe prime mover in the idea for a ladies’ Fourth of July celebration, may feel justly proud of the culmination of her arduous labors
and the loyal untiring support of her townspeople and friends.
The festivities will begin the night of the third at 8:30 o'clock
with the big lantern parade of 200 ladies arrayed in white and carrying lighted Japanese lanterns in all the varying tints and shades of
the rainbow. The parade will be attended by the Queen City band
and Boys Drum Corps. Electrical floats stationed at the corner of
Main and Commercial in front of the Methodist Church and at the
courthouse will form its objective points. The band will play patriotic airs toinspire marchers and spectators along the line of march.
The historic float at Main and Commercial streets will depict an
Indian tepee and campfire, with Harriet Giovannetti as Pocohontas;
Sammy Smith as an Indian warrior, and Allan Redmayne as an Indian chief.
Near the Methodist church Miss Minnie Smith as Betsy Ross will
picture the making of the first American flag and here the band will
render most appropriately, “The Star Spangled Banner, " and Mrs.
J.C. Graffin will sing “Columbia”.
Atthe courthouse will be seen the California float with Miss Lillian Pinch as Minerva, Misses Lenore Ashburn and Marie Derrig as
floriculture and Vernon C, Organ typifying the mining industry.
"The Star Spangled Banner," will be sung from the float by Mrs. A.
W. Crase.
The evening's entertainment will conclude with a dance on the
open air platform on Commercial street, music for which will be
furnished by the Queen City band.
On the morning of the Fourth the rising sun will be greeted with
the usual morning salute in charge of the morning salute committee, consisting of Mrs, William Holmes, Mrs, Hattie Legg and
Mrs. A.J. Bovey. This will be the only time during the day when
the large bombs will be in evidence as blank cartridges, cannon
crackers, bombs and torpedoes and shooting canes are absolutely
prohibited on the Third and Fourth. The small boy will have opportunity for cap pistols and fire crackers at any time except during
and parades on the morning and afternoon of the Fourth.
The morning parade will start promptly at 10:30, in three divisions under charge of Grand Marshal Miss Mamie Grimes and her
chief aides and assistants, Misses ONeill, Starr, Cable and Mrs.
J.C. Graffin.
Much of the success of this morning parade is due to the untiring
zeal of Miss May Martin who in addition to her arduous duties as
Secretary of the committee of Fourth of July arrangements, is also
chairman of the morning parade committee, Too much praise can
not be given to Miss Martin and her corps, of indefatigible workers
whohave secured the cooperation of so many societies of the sister
city and of this city, and who have planned so many of the distinctive features of this parade, among them being the appearance in
the parade of the historic flags of Company C and the place of
honor given them, the Goddess float, on which Miss Vera Hopkins,
one of Nevada City's fair daughters, will appear, and the "Seal of
State” whichisa novel departure from the “state float” of previous
years. Miss Frances Perry man will be seen on this float and will
represent Minerva. The array of beautiful floats, decorated carriages and autos flanked by the patriotic groups of marchers will “tis
said" bea sight both pleasing and imposing to even the most critical observer.

BRATION IN HISTORY
The exercises at the Nevada Theatre will next claim the attention and a program of unusual excellence is promised, Miss T. M.
Kruger of Greenville will be one of the principal speakers at this
time.
During the afternoon there will not be a dull half hour for, beginning at 1:30 o'clock with races for boys and girls, the afternoon
will pass all too soon with the various features of amusements planned. One of the chief attractions will be the flag raising at No. 1
firehouse. The flag raising ceremony will be a most interesting one
and Mrs, C.W. Chapman's tribute to “Old Glory” should not be
missed. The waterfight at the Plaza between two teams of ladies
willbe a most unusual occurence, while if the baby and doll buggy
parade is missed, one of the most pleasing features of the day will
be overlooked.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Nugget's Fool's Gold columnist is a bit of a
backward looking person. He failed to date this story June 4, 1912.
This year, 1964, Nevada City's Fourth of July promises to be just
as grand as the one 52 years ago.
