Music, followed by the benediction, closed the exercises upon the grounds, and the congregated thousands dispersed for dinner, which was eaten in picnic parties, at restaurants, lunch stands, private houses, and hotels—all of the latter being crowded.
The afternoon was spent in boat racing, carriage driving, ball playing, pigeon shooting, and general rambling
All the livery teams, as well .as the fine sail boats,were constantly employed.
In '.be evening the crowd gathered upon the open common west of the court house, to witness the display of fireworks, which were fine, after which music and dancing, in various places, held (he young folks, until the clock told that the first century had felt d into the past, and that our nation had entered upon another hundred years of its existence.
Base Bail.
One of the most closely contested games ever played in the State, came off at this place on the 4th, between the Albert Lea and Geneva clubs. This is not the first game betv/een these contestants. We have watched their practice game with interest, some time bark, and are forced to the conclusion that both clubs are entitled to rank far above the ordinary standard of country clubs A d 1sthtficd gentleman from Faribault, who watched the game on the 4th, remarked in our hearing that he had not seen clubs so evenly matched, or a game so finely contested, in the State. It is in {‘act a question whether either one is not a match for almost any club in tile West. We give below. the score of the game refei re I to, siiow-
Ciiurcli Dedication.
The dedication of the new Dane Baptist church took place on last Sabbath, the dedication sermon being preached in the Scandinavian tongue, by the Rev. Mr. Ostcrgreen, of St. Baul, assisted in the service by Rev. Mr Lunde, of Clark s Grove.
The afternoon service was in English, the mr limn being preached by the same gentleman, who vr;is adiated in other portions of the service by Rev. Messrs. Abbott, Alden. Lunde, and Wood, the latter being the Baptist State Missionary.
The evening service was of a union character, at which al! these reverend gentlemen took part. During the evening service the ordinance of bnptiim Was admini-tt red. an I a love foaat r! *ed

LONS PROCESSION THROUGH THE STREETS!

History of Freeborn County.
We publ ish elsewhere the address of Mr. Parker, at the celebration in Albert Lea, on the Centennial Fourth, including those portions omitted in the reading upon the ground.
The history has been prepared with much care, with a view of making it accurate and reliable data of information to our people, and as a starting point for all the county history that may follow.
It will be seen, also, that the creditable showing of prosperity, based upon reliable facts, renders it a valuable immigration document, and with that view we have printed a large number of extra copies.
One typographical error was over looked in the proof reading which we will correct here. In the paragraph relating to the building of the Southern Minnesota Railroad, it was made to read 1859, and should have read I SGG.
Enthusiasm by Everybody!
