The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1896-07-08
CUR F1ME.

Our three days celebration at Wads-
worth is a thing of the past but the
memory of it will be green for wears to
come. Never before in the history OF
this little town have We seen so many
people gathered here on pleasure bent
and we never expect to have such good
time again in WadsWorth or to have go
many visitors.
The pace was fast and started on the
third OF July with the Examiner base
ball tournament, the Nevada Stars, the
Reno and the Pyramid clubs meeting on
the grounds TO contest for the champions
| ship OF the State.
BY drawing straws the Nevada Stars
and the Pyramids first met in the
diamond for five innings. The Stars
! were bright looking young men from
Virginia City and they showed true grit
all the way through. They were very
gentlemanly and had to win with cir
cumstances, surroundings and spectators
against them. Wadsworth, of course,
rooted for the Indians. The Pyramids
showed up well in their natty uniforms
and played good ball up to the fourth
inning when an error cost them dearly.
Arthur Donnely of Reno umpired the
game; the score stood to in favor abf
the Stars.
The game between the Stars and the
Renos was interesting for nine innings
but the Stars won by score of 28 to l5.
The umpires were E. K. Buskirk and
Fred Warmsley OF Wadsworth.
The Stars were very glad to get the
Pyramids off their hands and felt thank
full when the game was over. They
deserved victory and we wish them
pleasant time in San Francisco.
heexercises took place at the Pavilion
under the direction of President of the
Day, Hon. w. H. A. Pike. Every seat
was taken and some people had to stand
The building was cool and pleasant and
the exercises were very interesting. The
singing was all that could be desired
Miss Gertrude Dunlope acquitted herself
in her usual charming manner. Mrs.
Tom Bryant gave an original poem of
her own production.
DIR. J. E. Stubbs delivered the Grafton
and was warmly applanded many times.
The reporter came away from the pa
vilion after hearing the Grafton better
citizen and with added knowledge of his
duties as citizen. DIR. Stubbs is ac-
complishing great work in Nevada
month after month among its people. 1t
was most fortunate day for our State
when he was called to it. We all realize
this fact. "a. s
The Indian football game attracted a
crowd of people to the plaza where the
braves played their game. The players
wore only breech-clouts and the audience
commented upon the Piutes' splendid
physiques. 1t was game worth seeing
and carried the pioneers back to the
genuine wild and woody times on this
Coast. We should Judge that at least u
thousand Indians were among the visi-
tors to Wadsworth.
The 100 yart dash, amateur, for a gold
medal took place on the promenade in
front OF the passenger depot and P. Nc

dash, free for all, for purse of $40 was
won by F. Radcliffe of Reno, against
Dennis of Wadsworth and Ferguson OF
Churchill.
The running broad jump for gold
medal was won by B. Frazer of Reno,
who covered 10 feet 9la inches. There
There were eight contestants.
The game of baseball between Wads-
worth and Reno over which there has
been SO much talk, took place in the
course of events, and the Reno boys just
walked away with it. They played a
fine game and had to stand lots of root
ing. ''They didn't do thing to u.s."
1t was just like finding that $65. We
felt proud of our boys to see them carry
themselves so well and the best of feel
ing prevailed. The score was % to o.
The bicycle road race for gold medal
was won by Fred White OF Reno. No
ladies appeared to race and the commit
tee holds gold medal for some future
occasion.
Say, but the game OF football between
