Day Sports.

A Rain Isterfsrsd with the Memorial
Day sports.
Great Falls. May a.-Memorial day has
passed very quietly In Great Falls. The
lowering skies and the death OF Father
Dolls early In the forenoon have had a
tendency to make the day more like a
Sunday thar any which has occurred in
years Black Eagle park was the only
lively spot In the town, and even there
the cold wind proved too much for the
larger part of the crowd. Excursion trains
from Belt and Sand Coulee brought in
about 200 people. At the time the trains
left for this city there was a pelting rain
which kept many away.
About II o'clock this morning the veter-
ans and the members of the Woman's
Relief Corps proceeded to Highland ceme-
terry and there decorated the graves Of
the fallen heroes. There was a profusion
of flowers and the cemetery was a beauti-
full sight before the crowd had left II. In
addition to those named there were about
800 citizens in carriages who listened to
the simple Grand Army services.
At 8 o'clock this afternoon Black Eagle
park was the center of attraction. A pro-
gramme of sports had been advertised for
that place and there were many who went
out in spite of the bitter wind. All of the
sports were of the amateur class. The FIRST
was a one-mile bicycle race, open to ANA
tours. The prize was a championship cup.

There were numerous entries for the
contest in putting the shot. open to men,

them were experts and the prize was
awarded to William Southern. William

the hammer and that ended the after
moons programme.
This evening the larger part of the peo-
pie have gathered there again to witness
the most wonderful exhibition Of fire.
works ever shown In this city. and many
of them are waiting for the dance. which
will continue I'm the Pavilion until after
midnight. Just at that latter hour the
Black Eagle falls will be illuminated by
floating bombs and fountains of fire.
