July 9, 1926 WILMETTE LIFE WGE CROWD AnENDs I FOURTH OF JULY FETE Sail for Europe Third Annual Celebration, Sponsored by Legion, Ia Great Succeaa . \Vilmette held its , third annual Fourth · of July celebration on Monday, July 5, under the auspices of the Wilmette Post No. 46 of the American Legion. Dr. W. W. Hawkins, chairman, estimated the attendance at about 2,000 persons and stated that more than 800 children participated in the various events. The celebration started at 10 o'clock in the morning with a baseball game on the Village Green and ended at about 5 :30 o'clock with a Punch and July and a magi cian show. The baseball ~ame , in which Winnetka defeated Wilmette by the score of 7 to 6, was an exciting one because of the fact that the score was tied in th e last inning and an umpire was removed. The afternoon program, which started at 2 o'clock, included the singing of "America," led b y Miss Adelaide Jones, the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Major George R. Harbaugh, a short address by Brigadier-General Samuel C. Stanton, the "Star Spangled Banner," led by Miss Jones. _ _ and selections played by Damante's band. During the afternoon there were contests of all sorts, the most popular of which were the wheelbarrow race. the shoe race. the ob stacle race, and diving for coins. 'fhe single men won the tug-of-wa r from the married m en. and the' 100 Yard da sh for fat men proved amusing. After the c~l te sts Mr. Wassmann of Chicago gave a Punch and J U<h· sho\\' which was much enjoyed by the children as "·ell as the grown-ups. The entertainment ended with a magician show and more music b ',r the band. ~fore than $1.000 worth of nrizes ' n·re donated hv merchant:; of the ,·il lage .
