Fast horses have been en tered, and a band engaged to enliven the occasion with music. Tickets for these races are now on sale at Sellg's. The display of fire-works at night from a barge anchored in the Pas quotank will be a dlzzling exhibition of multi-colored fire effects. An ex pert will have charge of the display, a striking and sensational feature of which will be a battle between the Monitor and Merrimac. Wrestling, Base Ball, Athletic con tests, Water Sports, Motor Boat races and other events will all be a part of the Fourth of July program.

'-J- TOLEDO LOOKS FOR BIG CROWD Sixty Thousand Visitors In One Day Will Put Hotel Rooms at A Premium (By Associated Press) Toledo, O., June 28. This city must grapple with a difficult housing problem in preparing for the enor mous crowd expected here to witness the heavyweight championship con test between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey, July 4. With a seating capacity estimated at about 50,000 in the arena it is estimated that at least 60,000 visitors will be in Tole do thp day of the bout. Of these about one-third, or 20,000, are ex pected to be in the city over night. Toledo itself is a city of about 300,000 population and even in nor mal times the hotel accommodations are Inadequate. The city boasts of eleven hotels of 100 or more rooms capacity and ten more of fifty rooms or better. The two biggest hotels have been "sold out" for the last six weeks. Nearly all the other larger hotels have reservations calling for their full capacity. The smaller hotels are filling more slowly, but unquestionably will be occupied to capacity long before July 3. All the hotels plan to install extra cots and beds In the rooms. A flat rate of $5 a bed, whether there are two or half a 4zen beds In each room, has been established as the minimum. Only a few newspaper men, who have been on the scene a month or more, will be permitted to occupy rooms alone. Other guests will be obliged to share their rooms with as many persons as the manage ment sees fit to provide beds for. Estimates place the total bidding accommodations in the hotels at a discrepancy of 13,000 beds for the number of persons expected to spend the night of July 3 in Toledo. Ad Q. Thatcher, a Toledo sports- man, Is the leader In the enterprise j to provide steeping accommodations for this overflow. Thatcher and sev eral associates have obtained leases on a number of vacant buildings in the downtown district and for the last month have been installing cots. The two largest of these buildings, the Terminal Building and a five story structure formerly occupied by Toledo's largest department store, will provide room for 3,000 and 2, 600 cots respectively, while others probably will have room for another 2,000 beds.
