Opening Of the Association Grounds
Yesterday an Era in Helena's
History.
A Big Crowd In Attendance and
the Event q Successful
One
Addresses by Hon. E. W. knight and Col
A. G. Botkin-Rain and Dust During
the Afternoon.

The opening of the Helena Athletic asso-
ciation's grounds was success. The only
thing that marred the occasion was the bao
wind storm which came up during the ball
game and nearly drove the people from the
grounds. At about $50 Hon. E. w. knight
and Col. A. 6. Botkin drove onto the
grounds in carriage and stopped in front
of the crowded grand stand. The first cav
airy band, which was stationed in the
upper part of the stand, rendered So
lection which the audience applauded.
Then Mr.. Michael Meyendorf stepped up
to the carriage and introduced MIR. Knight.
He expressed himself as being highly
complimented in assisting on the occasion.
He hardly knew what was expected OF him,
but he would extend a hearty welcome to
the visitors from Salt Lake and II they
were victorious Helena would yield them
the palm of victory gracefully. 1t Helena
were victorious she would be modest IN her
exultation. He was heartily in favor OF
manly sports and was glad that Helena was
progressing in this respect as In all others.
It was good thing that people devoted
some time to sport, for all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy. At the con-
clusion of his remarks he was heartily ap,,

then Col. Botkin was introduced to the au-
dience. He said: :.
The event which We celebrate to-day is
no less than another era in the history OF
Helena. This history has been one of pro-
gress. It records the growth Of q rude
mining camp into capital and metropo-
| lis, It illustrates q most interesting form
Of social evolution-that Of q frontier
community into center Of wealth and re-
fnement. But among the badges OF the
! metropolitan character to which We have at
tanned there is none more distinctive or
more notable than the park which is here
dedicated to athletic sports and outdoor
recreation. Incidental to these purposes, 1t
will assis tothers of great importance to our
city in degree that we can scarcely con.
ceive. 1t will aid in carrying the fame Of
| Helena abroad, the events Of which it will
be the scene will be reported BY the press,
which has found it's advantage in catering
to the great interest that is now felt in
athletic games, and read in the remotest
quarters Of the union. The several descend

the negative the question, does enum'

A warm salt bath is very refreshing to
any one suffering from exhaustion of travel
or of long shopping expedition-which is
as trying to mind and body as anything
that can be undertaken by woman. Away
from the seashore very simple substitute
for seawater is cup of rock salt dissolved
in warm water and added to the bath.
When the salt is irritating to the skin, take
a warm bath and sponge off with mixture
of violet or lavender water and alcohol,
about half and half, and rub briskly with
a warm friction towel. Such q method
prevents the exhaustion and danger of cold
which follow warm bath.

feature in this connection and one entirely
new in Montana will be introduced in this
building. The partition walls when ex-
posed in the corridor will be faced with en-
ameled brick of buff shade, its tone
heightened and subdued by dadoes Of diff

to expose as few jennings to the weather as

walls are large and 80 arranged az to dis
tribute the light most effectually to class
rooms, cloak rooms and corridors.
Upon entering the building the visitor
arrives in a large corridor, wide fanked on
either side with stone staircase. The
corridors of this floor are in the form of
Greek cross, the school and cloak rooms
being located in the angles formed by the
cross. At its axis or center, the space in

school rooms will each accommodate from
forty to sixty scholars, according to the
grade or department for which they are
used. In the construction of the ceiling,
the wood work will be the mill or slow
burning system.
The framing and all things pertaining
thereto is arranged with a special view to

edifice, the whole design being the work OF
Mr.. Paulsen, of the well-known firm of
Paulsen h Mcconnell. "A glance at the cut
readily reveals that the external effect OF
the building is at once graceful and I'M

harmoniously accomplished and the whole

The entire exterior and furnishings will
be of granite, rock face, which not only

a dual purpose; for besides adding to the

the exposed ridges being protected by terra

be coated with tar and gravel preparation
