YESTERDAYS EVENTS.
The Foot Ball Game Won by the San
ia Fe Team-The Ball and
Banquet.

Ten to nothing in favor of the Santa
Fe team was the way the football score
stood at the end of the game yesterday
afternoon. Although the score seems a
little large the Santa Fe boys have
little to brag about as it was not an easy
victory. Taking everything into con-
sideration the Albuquerque team has rea-
son to feel proud, as it made a gallant
fight and under other circumstances
might have won the game. Both teams
deserve credit for their really remarkable
playing as neither had prepared for the
contest, and were therefore entirely out of
practice. Under these circumstances the
score is very creditable one. The Albu-
aueraue team was undoubtedly affected by
the difference in the altitude. For the first
forty five minutes the game was one of the
best ever played in the west.
Every window in the federal building
looking out upon the grounds was crowd
ed with enthusiastic female admirers OF
the game. The grounds surrounding the
building were black with people. About
1,5OO spectators witnessed the struggle.
The game was most exciting one and
lasted an hour and a half.
The Albuquerque boys were the recipi-
ents of much attention and were loudly
cheered when they walked upon the
grounds. The home boys were also en-
Enthusiastically received and when the
game was over they were nearly carried
off their feet by the rush of friends
anxious to congratulate them. The teams
lined up in position as follows:
Albuquerq ue-Booth, left end; Palll-
dino, right end; Woodmansee, tackle;
Bowie tackle; Ames, left guard; Arm
strong, right guard: Harsch, center; Vor-
hees, quarter; c. Mcdonald half back;

THE BALL.
Snow commenced falling fast about 7
o'clock last night, but it did not deter a
large crowd from attending the ball and
banquet at thePalace hotel. Gov. Thorn
ton escorting Mrs. Saltmalh, of Albu-
querque, led the grand march at
$3.50 and by that time the large
dining hall of the hotel was filled
with merry crowd The costumes
of the ladies mingled with the gay uni
forms of the soldiers presented striking
and beautiful spectacle. The Fort Marcy
orchestra furnished the music. There
were only twelve dances on the program
but number of extras we're INDUCED in,
SO that it was early morning before all
the crowd dispersed for home. The
banquet which was served at 10 o'clock
was triumph of culinary art and re-
Elected much credit on the chef of the
Palace. At 11:3O O'Clock the bugle
sounded for the Albuquerque militia to
fall IN, and they were escorted to the
depot by company B, of Santa Fe. The
visitors all expressed themselves as de-
lighted at the treatment received and
were only sorry they could not prolone
their visit.
