party of Rapidites that took in the base
ball game Wednesday.
Monday noon the sky darkened, the
wind blew, few scattering hail stones
fell and the sun shone.
Charles Howe came up from Rapid
last Wednesday to see the Rapid club
wallop the Scooptown boys.
Commercial men have been thick
during the past week, judging from the
hotel registers and hack travel.
e. W. Martin placed his autograph
on the Commercial register last Friday.

ding and transportation of heavy goods
or small packages use Moffett's dray
line. Moffett, the grain, hay and coal
dealer.
Rapid City scooped up our first nine
last Wednesday to the tune of thirty
three to twenty. Miserable playing on
| both sides accounts for the large score.
The less said about the game the better.
Edward Tollman and William holland,
two of Hermosa's citizens, registered at
the Commercial on Sunday. Mr.. Toll
man will remain in this city as salesman
in the store Of his brother-in-la Mr..
| Cornwell.
Wednesday evening our base ball
boys got very nice party together in
the Opera house and gave dance for
their guests, the Rapid City club. A
very enjoyable time was had, although
the party was small.
The spearfsh niue was to have played
our first nine Sunday afternoon, but
owing to some hook or crook they failed
to materialize when the game was called.
Probably some one of their best players
was sick or unable to come, and they
| were afraid of their laurels.
FL. w. Tinker is the star captain of
the league. The Scoopers call him the
Arson of the Black Hills. His profess
sional roar reminds one of the music Of
a fog-horn or the profundo basso of a
lariated bull. When he speaks the other
eight men all dance to his music.
George B. Mcpherson, of Menlo,
Iowa, the blooded stock man in every
sense), was in town on Sunday. Mr..

in this section of the country, and as a
consequence spends a considerable por-
ton of his time in the Black Hills.
Frank Frush, of Hot Springs, is in
this city taking rest and endeaEering
to recuperate his health. We always
have maintained that Sturgis is the
healthiest place in the Hills, and now we
are sure of it when citizen of Hot
Springs comes here to regain his health.
The Spearfsh boys failing to put in
an appearance Sunday afternoon at the
time game was called the game was de-
clared forfeited to the Sturgis boys nine
to nothing. The reason for their non
appearance is not known. Probably
their pitcher was unable to get away
and without him they know they stand
no show.
Next Friday evening, June 8, will oc-
cur the big dance in the new barn of
James Patterson, on his ranch in Pleas
ant valley. Ample preparations have

guaranteed to all who participate. Any
one who knows Jim Patterson well
knows that fun will be the order of the
evening
