 | Labor Day Games The Labor Day games yesterday were | hotly contested, and the audience enjoyed | them very much. The football games were | played differently from the college games, | the players kicking the ball instead of run | ming with it. The hands were not allowed | to touch 1t while it was in play. It Is | doubtful If the game of football as played yesterday has ever before been seen in r 4A1 | among the miners at the various places in | the district. Pratt City entered one team | for the contest and Warner and Cardiff | combined and put in team that defeated | the Pratt City players Pratt City, Warner and Cardiff entered | the quoits contest, Pratt City winning over | the other two.

 serious accident was narrowly averted | yesterday afternoon in the attempt to send i up the balloon. In some way the balloon was detached from the ropes that held 1t 1 down while being inflated and began to l ascend. All but one of the helpers turned | loose of the ropes, but this one held on l until he had been carried some distance 1 The balloon was not more than half filled | with gas and would not rise veryy high. Finally 1t passed over a tent in the Midway and the man turned loose and dropped on to
 tent and rolled to the ground uhurt. Re- lieved of the mans weight the balloon rose and passed over toward the South Side, where it finally landed. Negro Day Programme The returns from the election Tuesday

 entertaining performance and pleased ev-
 cry one who saw it
 The performance consists of a series of
 tableaux depicting incidents at different
 periods in this countrys life and noted bat
 ties in which the army and the navy of
 the United States have been engaged. It
 opens with a colonial scene in which a
 number of-yeung people are seen dancing
 the figures in vogue at that time, and
 passes from that to the ride of Paul Re-

 spirit of '76 is shown in beautiful tableau
 and then follow in rapid succession the
 battle of Bunker Hill, the Birth of Liber-
 ty, the Retreat of the Continental Army
 and the Burial Ground, and closes the
 revolutionary incidents with a tableau en-
 titled "Avenge Me"
