the trees in the more hidden parts of
the park were little family parties,
where picnic lunches were being eaten
most of the time by ever hungry chill
uren, and the ever present picnic bugs
were doing cake-walks up and down
the spines of the picnickers, In and ont

The Butte Young Mems Institute,
swhich gave the picnic, brought down
hearly 1000 people, all of whom were on
lthe grounds at some time Of the day.

Young people of the city to receive the
first of the Y. NJ l. excursions at the
depot and, accordingly, $50 of them as
sembled there in the morning. The
train, however, was run on through the
depot to the park. On ethis train came
the famous Boston & Montana sband of
"a pieces, which played the greater por-
ton of the afternoon at the park, The
concert programme it rendered was one
of high class and gave pleasure to
hundreds of people.
About 2:30 p. m. the exercises were
held from the band stand in the park.
Z. r. Connolly, of Butte, Silver Bow
rounty attorney, presided. He intro

Preceding the exercises the band rem

The speech of Mr.. Kelley by playing
patriotic airs. 1t then entered upon a
concert.
In the dancing pavilion good music
was furnished, and all afternoon and
evening the floor was crowded.
Home Team Defeated.
The first event on the programme
was the baseball game between teams
supposed to represent the court houses
sof Silver Bow and Deer Lodge com.
pies. In making UP their team the Sill
'ver Bow officials had been fortunate in
securing players of rare ability al
though most of them were not officials.
Hhe Deer Lodge officials were not so
fortunate, several of the officials and
county employees who had expected to
play being prevented at the last mo-
ment. Their places were taken by I'm
practiced players with disastrous re-
suits, as shown by the SCORES to 0, in
Favor Of the Silver Bow team, and only
five innings played.
1t was not highly exciting game.
perhaps the most enthusiastic anna
feurs on the two teams were Deputy
county Attorney Casey, who caught
for the Deer Lodge team two innings
land then went in the field, and Deputy
Clerk Of the Court q. A. Hardcastle of
Silver Bow, who played right field for
his team. Mr.. Casey was attired in a
maroon sweater, pair of trousers,
shoes, pair of spectacles a COB of
mud on his cheek and an air Of ex-
element. Mr. Hardcastle wore pair
of white trousers that had an inclina-
tion to slip. To prevent a disastrous
accident Mr.. Hardcastle had to stop
and adjust them frequently. His meth
cd OF running bases was unique. Once
he did a split IN reaching second, but
chiefly slid on IS knees to the JOY of
the beholders and the detriment of the
white trousers.
Mr.. Casey was unfortunate. Early in
the game boy got in his way when he
was going after a foul, and boy Mr.
Casey, mask and foul tangled up so
thoroughly that five minutes were con-
sumed Strengthening them out.
In the last inning Mr.. Casey received
the pitchers delivery on his ankle, and
hobbled to first. By the expenditure
of considerable energy he got to third
On a short hit he went for the home
plate, and. according to many, landed
on it, but in landing he and the catcher
embraced. fell. rolled and kicked wild
". Umpire John T. OBrien said Mr.
Casey was out. Then the Anaconda
people said things that reflected upon
Mr.. O'Brien's judgment and his gen.
eral character.
