Independence Day in Huron Falls Short of Celebration
Independence Day festivities in Huron featured a meager program with few entrants. Race results included W. W. Long and Guy Osbon in the 100 yard for men, Bert Kerr winning the Sack race, and Hugh McCullen leading the under 14 boys. The crowd enjoyed a motor parade, a subdued fool's parade, and a ball game where Cavour defeated Huron 11 to 8. Fireworks capped the day with Governor Crawford scenes and a final patriotic display. The commercial club reported a $144 profit after expenses.

Price gouging cited by liverymen and gala day hikes
The passage notes livery men condemned for high charges during events, with single horses costing ten cents, teams twenty, and gala day rates at twenty-five cents per horse. It contrasts restaurant prices as fair with regular meals, implying loss of patronage due to inflated livery rates.
Liverymen Face High Rates On Independence Day
The correspondent notes liverymen must hire extra help for July 4th and pay 84 or 85 to staff about twenty teams. The overcharge leaves little profit, yet they must accept the work or turn away customers while fakirs extract ten times as much.
