Newark was arrayed in gala at
tire Friday in honor of the nation
al holiday. From early morning
until late at night crowds paraded I
the streets. There were a large
number of visitors from the sur
rounding country here and both
trains brought in crowds from Sul
phur Rock, Magness, Newport,
Fitzgerald, Paroquet and other
places. The local coming down
from Batesville could not accommo
date the immense crowds and flat
cars were utilized by the crowd as
suiuumg room.
Out at the picnic grounds every
thing was gay and merry and the
day passed without any kind of
trouble, so common on such oc
casions, to mar the enjoyment of
the day. About 1,500 people
took dinner on the ground and be
it said to the credit of Captain
Arnold and his assistants, who
were the chief promoters of the
affair, that there was plenty to eat
and drink and some left over and
if any one went away hungry it
was their own fault.
The crowds in all parts of town
were orderly to the last degree
and not even a “scrap"’ took place.
In fact there were less disturbances
needing the attention of the offic
ers than on any like occasion in
many years.
