IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Co. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1877 The people of Anaheim and the surrounding country seemed to be unanimous in the conclusion that to attend the picnic was the most proper method of celebrating our country's birthday. Young and old, rich and poor, the farmer and the merchant, even down to that most abject specimen of poverty—the editor of The Gazette—joined the picnickers at the Tivoli Garden and at Cowan's Grove. The programme was so arranged as to allow one to listen to exercises at both parties. At Cowan's Grove platforms were erected for singers and speakers, and seats for the audience. The exercises began with the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner," by eleven young ladies, under the guidance of Mr. and Mrs. Yarndley. After a short prayer by Rev. Mr. Wright, the Declaration of Independence was read by Mr. W. P. McDonald, of Downey City. Mr. W. H. Henderson was then introduced by Mr. David Evey, the master of ceremonies, and, as poet of the day, read an original poem entitled "An Ode to the Fourth of July, 1877." Mr. B. Pilkinton was then introduced, and gave an eloquent oration. The choir then sang "America," which closed the exercises of the day. The lunch baskets were then brought out and the day was passed in feasting and pleasure. Many persons crossed the field and visited Tivoli Garden to hear the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Mr. John Fischer. The oration by Mr. Theodore Lynill was pronounced by all who listened to it to be by far the best Fourth of July oration ever delivered in Anaheim. The band discoursed sweet music, and the crowd amused themselves as best suited their various tastes. Games and amusements of all descriptions had been prepared.

Mrs. The new lodge head mad polished, The band discoursed sweet music, and the crowd amused themselves as best suited their various tastes. Games and amusements of all descriptions had been prepared. There was a shooting gallery, a bowling alley, croquet, bird shooting, swings, etc. The ice cream stand, presided over by Miss Hartung and Mrs. A. Heimann, did a flourishing business. The coffee stand was under the supervision of Misses Kuelp and Luedke, and added not a little to the profits of the entertainment. The young ladies were bewitchingly solicitous, and our poor reporter froze himself to death with ice cream on one side, and burned himself to death with hot coffee on the other, trying to solve Johnson's famous problem, "How happy could I be with either, were t'other dear charmer away." The egg and sack races caused much merriment, and the dancing floor was constantly crowded, the band being kept busy to furnish sweet sounds for the boating feet. All in all, the Brass Band picnic was a grand success, and one for which they deserve great credit. The receipts from various sources were as follows: Admission, $69; bar, $160.35; ice cream and strawberries, $34.65; coffee, $27; shooting gallery, $22.95; bird shooting, $4.50; total, $318.95. A grand ball was given in the evening at the Granger's hall, near the depot. The Anaheim Literary Society met at Scott and Montgomery's office, on July 2, Mr. D. R. Payne in the chair.

A vaquero undertook to break a bronco on Center street yesterday, ignorant of the fact that such a proceeding is contrary to an ordinance of the town of Anaheim. He was, therefore, arrested, but not before the unruly horse upon which he was riding had done considerable damage to a wagon owned by Tim Boege. The vaquero will be sentenced by Justice Bailey this morning for breaking the ordinance, and Mr. Squires, the owner of the horse, will be compelled to pay for breaking the wagon.
