JUNE 4, IN THE HAT 1912 DAILY EDITION. f. A. P. AND C. A.B, TELEGRAPHIC SERVICE ' Dominton Day, Monday, July Ist, is sto be; Medicine Hat's Day. This was decided at a meeting held in the City Hall last evening, and steps were im- mediately taken to start work to make the celebration, which will be held here on that day, the biggest, best, most unique, most amusing and pleas- ing that has ever been held in any elty of the West. Invitations are to be extended to the people in. all the near-by towns, not only invitations, but a campaign of advertising to let the people know that we are holding the celebration and that they are welcome to particl- Pate-in It, will be carried on. The fun will morning, the feature of which will be a monster parade, and everyone will be personally asked to partielpate and help make the parade success, Sports, ineludfug races and games will follow closely. In the afternoon other sports will be put on. An effort Is also being made to get some other paid amusements. The culminating event of the day, a new one and a good one, will be a big fire works dis- play. A large sum of money will be spent on tle display and already the Hand Fire Works Co., of Hamilton, are figuring on the outlay of the display. Possibly an effort will be made to get the Soldiers home in time so as to incinde a military tatoo, with the fire works display. Besides this, it is plan- ned to have an open air performance start in the early . on the stand, if the attractions can be secured, However, there are many things that ft is planned to have, but. the programme is by no means ready. A committee of four, known as the Dominion Day Celebration Committee composed of W. H. Tarpin, A. F. Bin- ning, C. S. Pingle and W. E, Hay, will have charge of all the plans, They were appointed by the Mayor. They will spare no expense to make the day a success, They will try to make what they can towards meeting the expense of the day by charging ad- mission at the grounds, but the May- or says that the counel will make up the deficit. We want to advertise our city in all the small towns surrounding here, said the Mayor. We want to get the people to concentrate their view tow- ards Medicine Hat. We will give them tlie sport if they come here. It 4g also planned to secure several hands from the small towns,-and also football and baseball clubs, In fact there will be something for everyone and enough for all on July, Ist here. One of the big plans for the pro, cession is to have a Miss Canada for the day, She will grace the Canadian float In the big procession that day and will otherwise preside over the events of the day, distributing prizes won in the evening, etc. Another feature will be the eity dec- orations on that day.

FORGET It There has been more or less diseus- sion locally on a point which should never have come up for controversy, viz, the design on the flags used in the hanger advertising Medicine Hat's: Fall Fair. It would, of course, have been preferable to have seen our own Union Jack utilized, but condemnation at this Inte date cannot possibly be of any advantage, and may engender bitter feelings. The poster Js a neat anit catchy one, and the Agricultural Soclety has, received many compll- ments on thelr selection. The order was given to a Toronto lithographing firm and doubtless hundreds of thou- sands of copies have been printed for Fairs in other parts of Canada. That a flag somewhat resembling that of the United States is used for decora- tive purposes on the poster escaped the eye of the committee which chose it to advertise-the Medfetne Hat Ex- hibition. If it had been noticed at the; time, It would undoubtedly haye been fetter to have had the design altered in-this respect. But the order having, heen filled and the hangers distrib- uted, what possible good can acerue DARROW TRILL (CW. ADP, Dispatch.) Los Angel s, Cal, June 4 The cross examination of Bert H.
