The report of the Pioneer Of The races
| at Sturgis on the 4th was correct in every
particular except that Sturgis did not
win the dry hose race, and Fort Meade
did not win the hub-and-hub, free-for-
all. Aside from these errors The report
is correct.

The elegantly decorated scoop shovel
carried by our Hook and Ladder COM
pany in the parade in this city on the
4th, and which they carried to Spear
fish, was, at the conclusion of the races
there, delivered over to the Hook and
Ladder team Of that city.
Tt makes person feel little wearied
to read the Rapid City papers concern
ing that now celebrated game Of base
ball. Can they not possibly imagine a
position or situation in which the Rapid
nine might or could be wrong? Are
they perfect? II SO they are the only
nine claiming to be SO on Gods green
footstool.
Main street as a course for hose and
hook and ladder races is not an unquali-
fed success. The macadam is SO hard
that it slaves up the runners. as cobble-
paved streets of the cities cripple up
horses. 1t was worse than usual on the
4th owing to the flood Of the Sunday
previous. Lazele street would macadam

| The Hook and Ladder boys returned
from Spearfish sadly the worse for wear
and decorated with Grape. The boys
had hard time of it. Three races here
on the 4th, an outdoor bed on the pra-
irie the Same night while on their way
to Spearish, and two races on the 5th
are quite enough to make amateur
runners feel like old stage horses.
