BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY. JULY 10 1891.

all we have inherited, and do our best to
make that inheritance richer and higher
and safer, than when it was committed
to our hands.
We are a free people, and justly do we
congratulate ourselves upon a temperate
Observation-Disclosures, however, within the
limits of the law from degenerating into
license.
Let us never forget, while we congrat-
ulate ourselves upon u liberty, that
eternal vigilance is it's necessary price,
and be willing to render to u public
duties the time and thought which so
becomes the man who would be q patri-
otto lover of his country.
BASE BALL IN landau.
At 2:30 the match game of base ball
between the Mandan team and the Yates
aggregation was called and proceeded on
the excellent :ground prepared for them
with bases fully fifteen feet short each
way. It had been previously agreed
that but seven innings would be played,
but at the end of this number the UNI
pire called "play further" and the result
was that it took ten innings to decide
the game. For the first half of the game
it was quite close and each club put
forth creditable efforts, keeping the
score down and pleasing the audience.
The result was a victory for Mandan by
a score of 10 to 8. At the end of the
ninth session the teams we're a tie
and the tenth inning was necessary to
decide the matter and find out who
should carry off the honors and purse.
Unfortunately the ball game lasted so
late there was not a very large crowd at
the horse racing, which by the way was
still another half-mile west of the ball
grounds. Those who did go over how
ever witnessed a race that seemed to
satisfy them. A rather serious accident
marred this happening. Two ponies
galloping in opposite directions on the
track met and the collision was of such
force as to break the neck of one of the
animals, owned by Mr.. Burbridge. The
result of the trotting and running is as
follows:
THE HoRs RACES.
Considerable interest was manifested
in this event. Bismarck had several
horses present, and most Of them carried
away honors. The free-for-all pony race
came first. "Brown Billy" won first
money; "Gray," owned by Shed Lam
bert, second. The free-for-alls running
race followed; half mile and repeat;
purse $50. Logan's celebrated runner
"Billy Knox" carried away first honors;
Billy" owned by J. F. May of Ross
Ranch, second. In the free-for-all trot,
J. D. McDonald's "Cyclone' disabled
himself in the first heat, which gave the
race to Farmer Boy" with McConnell's
horse of Mandan a good second.
BASE BALL IN BISMARCK.
AS was announced in the TRIBUNE yes
terday morning, there was a game of
base ball in the city park between the
home team and Fort Yates. Promptly
at the appointed hour many gathered in
the grand stand and patiently waited for
the umpire to call "play ball." This
parsonage finally made this declaration,
but much to the disgust of all the Fort
Yates team were conspicuous for their
absence. It turned out that there was
some dispute about n Of the players in
the Bismarck team-Cannan-and the
brave soldier boys, persons who would
not shrink from the bullets of Sitting
Bull and all his braves, shirked the re-
sponsibility of having their passed balls
caught by this person. To be sure, Can
nan has always played with the Bismarck
team. is az much a member of the same
as any of the other players; but never
theless there was a hitch, and the Yates
boys solemnly filing out of the gate left
the Bismarck pitcher the only alterna~
tive of sending three balls over the plate
and having the umpire declare the game
in favor of Bismark by a score of 8 to O..
Thus ended the Bismarck ball playing.
RECEPTION.
In the evening Emerson Institute was
crowded to attend the reception rendered
Governor Burke by the citizens of Man
dan. After a short time spent in social
converse and general introductions, the
inspiring strains of Palmer's orchestra
struck up and the final event of the day
the ball-was on. To a late hour the
dancers kept at it and marked time with
their flying feet the fitting minutes of
the celebration day.
