Fourth of July in Lawrence Rain Dampens Festivities
Rain cut short Lawrence July celebrations with a muddy park, crowds gathering at Liberty Hall, and a shift to indoor exercises. D C Haskell delivered a strong oration as William Knittle read the Declaration of Independence and local races saw Hinman win the half mile, with Griffith and Harbaugh contesting the second place and planning a next Saturday match.
