LOCKING Of HORNS.
INDUCED IN BY TWIN CITY
HERDS OF TRAINED
ELKS.
A HOT, GINGERY CONTEST,
WHICH REQUIRED ALL JUDGE
NETHEWAY,s FINEssE TO
CONDUCT.
A HOT, GINGERY CONTEST
NINE SANCTUARY ASSAULTS.
In Six st. Paul Was Victor, but
Minneapolis Rallied and
Scored Most Points.

C06y called an outing OH the
If an outing may be defined as some
thing combining fun, exercise, jollity
and all pleasure, then the affair of yes
terday was an unqualified success.
The outing began on the train and
it was not finished until the returning
train arrived at the union depot at
midnight. So good" was it all
through that many of the Minneapolis
p: ople remained till the finish and went
home from st. Paul on street cars,
without even the hint of a kick.
George H. Allen, lord high executioner
of the arrangements, and John e.
King, who assisted him in making
everybody happy at the hop in the
evening, were swelled by a pardonable
pride latter the ball was over" Allen
is really host in himself at any kind
of game, but at an ''outing" he is
strictly in it.
Far away and beyond all else in In
terest was the great locking" match
arranged between the big Elks of 81
and A, with 1T9, in the person Of Judge
Netheway bossing the roundup
From the start the onset Of the ant
Tered chieftains was hot and fierce
Tenney, prize buck of the st. Paul
hement in Watson, lord by right Of the
Mill city corral. A young but frisky
critter called Larrabee, fought steadily
bv his leaders side, and to hold the ST.
Paul horned athletes in line at the
scratch were Libbey and Simpson. At
any attempt to buck and back away
without a return the boss of the round
I'D would sound a note of warning and
It'll "a
end of the fight put up by the st. Paul
bucks. a great team had been picked
in Keller and Reeves. During the first
six assaults they rammed their antlers
into the hides, sides and stomachs OF
their foes to such good purpose thdl
they had been credited with
TEN POINTS TO THREE
for the Mill City. Prancing around the
main combatants were Tibbils, Har-
dick, Goodhuntz, Rice and King, Tor
ST Paul; while the skirmishers from
MINNEAPOLIS were Cotharin, Forpes'
Wilson. Force and Johnson.
Now and again the bucks who bore
the brunt of the fight would get thelr
antlers so badly locked that NetheWay
would be compelled to order them
locked up And when some sympa-
thetic friend would approach a pant
ing contestant to relieve MS thirst
the boss of the roundup would SEIZE
the bottle of rainwater and dispose OIL
il himself in the neateSt possible mali
ner. He maintained that any sort OF
| stimulant was barred by the agree
ment. On one Of these occasions Lou
Wilkes explained to the protesting au-
dience that Netheway thought the Elks
were camels, from the way they were
humping themselves.
To speak of the fine individual
fighting would consume great zeal
of space, but several were noteworthy.
Once. after the st. Paul bucks had
kicked their heels and roared, watson
caught on the tip of his main branch
a solid missile hurled at him by kel-
Ter and while the missile went sail
ing over towards Saltwater the Min
neapolis prize buck rampaged all over
the lot. To appease him Netheway
allowed him
A FULL FOUR POINTS.
Rice, a buck of quiet mien, made one
wonderful stop of a fierce assault by
| Goodhuntz. Then, not to be outdone,
| Tenney reared on his high hind legs
! and pulled down the best shot Simp-
son could make, but Tibbils presumed
| to roast him for not playing back at
| the same time he ran forward. 1t
took Coroner Whitcomb's word of au-
thority to prevent war in the st. Paul
| corral. Larrabee for Minneapolis and
Keller for st. Paul did yeoman service
in several instances; and no less Won
derful was the work of the King Buck
| @o1 Ilr1f c
in the seventh, eighth and ninth as
saults that the finest work was done.
Despite their lacerated hides and gen.
orally dilapidated condition the Min
neapolis bucks stood gamely to their
work, and in some manner stray
Elk named Allen got over onto the
st. Paul side. He was willing but I'M
steady and point after point was made
against st. Paul, until, when Nethe-
ways critical eye judged that all were
ready to quit the points stood % for
Watson's herd to q for the delegation
from Tenney's corral. Then the root
ing and snorting done in the field was
double discounted by that portion of
the audience which had travelled out
from Minneapolis. The vanquished
lowered their horns in honor to the
will were re-established, and the herds
browsed side by side on the best the
land afforded, served up in attractive
style, and plentifully by Caterer Ra-
maley.
SAILED AND DANCED.
After the luncheon had been disposed
of to the COMPLETE satisfaction of the
contestants and their friends many
white-winged flyers We're placed at
their disposal, and soon the beautiful
lake was covered with gay parties of
young people, and old ones, too. Music
and the sound of song were waited to
those who remained ashore; but they
were also treated to several very fine
selections from the Twin City Mando-
lin orchestra, which afterward played
for the hop. Dancing began as soon
as the yachts returned to the pavilion
and a programme of fourteen numbers
engaged the attention of a large ma
Jor1ty of the party until the II 20 train
pulled in to bring them home. The
hop, like the great match on the dia-
mond, was conducted with nice dis
elimination and unstilted freedom
which characterizes everything the
Elks undertake. Pretty costumes
shone no more brightly than the hap
Ply faces above them, and the men
1oikS did not lose a moment of time
that they were not enjoying themselves
or seeking to add to the enjoyment of
others.
