All tiie preparations for the sports have been made except that of tho baseball garno and that com mittee hopes to have all arrange ments made before the end of the present week. The committee on finance have made a partial canvass of the city and the response was char acteristic of the enterprising citizens of Gaffney. Of course there were some who condemned tho celebra tion and refused to lend their sup port to tiie movement, but it is hoped (bat these few will be patriotic enough to attend the celebration and enjoy themseiver that day. The committee on grounds have cleaned oif and the bicycle track put it in good condition, in fact it is in bet tor condition now than it ever has been before. Tiie riders go down in large numbers every afurnoon and spin around the track. There are a number of crack amateur riders in Gaffney and those who love bicycle racing may expect some of the best amateur races on record for this sec tion. All tho privileges for stands on the grounds have been let. The commit tee thought best to have but four stands on the grounds so they let only four privileges. These stands will bo large ones, however, and there will he plenty of refreshments on hand. There will bo an extra num ber of police sworn in for that day aud perfect order will be maintained. It is the desire of those having the celebration Jn charge to give the children an especially happy time, but the happiness of the grown people has not been neglected In tho least.
