Shoes, OUTTlNHOf HERE The Fourth received one of the most substantial celebrations here yesterday In several years. There was something doing all day. In the morning there was the minstrel performance at Riverside park, the daylight fireworks and other attrac tions; In the afternoon the best base ball game that has been seen here In years, and In the evening there was the minstrel performance and fireworks at the park, as well as over the city. Everybody seemed to take a day off. The street cars handled enormous crowds, and many said that the at tendance at the baseball game was the largest ever seen In Ashevllle. In the evening the rockets lighted the skies and firecrackers were bursting In great profusion. The scenes at Riverside park 'were different from anything that had ever before been witnessed there. The pres ent season the management of that re sort on the banks of the river have been putting in a great variety of at tractions. Many of them appeal to the children, while many others are of such a nature as to bring older visitors to the park. The scene yesterday after noon was such as is witnessed at many a big city park on a holiday. The chil dren were out in such quantities that the grounds along the river bank ap peared to be a nursery on a gigantic scale, while many of their elders were there in tneir summer costumes, man ing a bright scene in the grove. The refreshment stands were well patron lied, and during the progress of the baseball game there was a hardly a spot anywhere that did not have Its share of the population. The special matinee in the theater was a welcome inovatlon, and the evening performance brought out an audience that taxed the capacity of the cosy theater. In other parts of the city and sub urbs there were many evidences that the people were enjoying the na tlonal holiday, with picnics and excur sions of all sorts, and the street cars, that were run in large numbers, had all the passengers to handle that they could carry.
