From Thursdays Daily Gazette.

Although it would be difficult to
imagine a day more d~isagreeable for
outdoor pleasure than yesterday was,
the attendance at the fair was eXcep-
tionally good. Enough braved the
wind and dust to fill the grandstand,
while many more we're scattered
about the grounds. and through the
various buildings. A pleasing feature
was the music of the band which dur
ing the afternoon occupied a place in
the grandstand and played between
heats and races.
The afternoons programme open
ed with a game of ball between the
Forsyth and Red Lodge teams. AS
the two clubs are not strangers to the
local ball enthusiasts and as the game
was to decide the championship Of
eastern Montana interest was not
lacking. Not only did a large crowd
assemble in the grandstand, but many
more took up positions in the field
where they could view the game from
a better vantage place and judge for
themselves as to the fairness of the
umplre's decisions, something that
those who paid their quarters for
seats further back could not do.
The game opened with Red Lodge
at the bat. Horace Butler held down
first for Forsyth and put out Red
Lodge in one, two, three order. For
syth now took the willow and was
also treated to three blanks. Red
Lodge followed with some more of
the same experience as in the first.
1t was Forsyth's turn to score some
more zeros and did it in quick time.
At the end of the third inning neither
side had made a run and the crowd
Went wild, for such snappy ball play
ing is not seen every day when anna
tours are the players. In this inning
Forsyth met with a mishap. Butler,
who entered the game with a badly
%sprained ankle was completely Grip
pied n had to drop out, thus weak
ening his side greatly. A substitute
was secured, but he failed to come up
to expectations.
In the fourth Red Lodge began to
find Kerston and pounded him as if
he had been sending balloons across
the plate. After three runs had been
made off him he was sen out into the
field and Mcdonald took his place. It
is possible that the change was for
the better, but if so the results fail
ed to show it. At the end of the inn
ing the coal miners had eight runs
to their credit while the ranchers
were still hugging their goose eggs.
From now on neither side scored and
at the end of the seventh inning and
the end of the game the tally sheet
showed 8 to 0.
While it did not appear difficult for
the F~orsythians to find Fleming, they
could not make anything off their
strikes, seemingly utterly unable to
send the ball to safety. No matter
where they sent it, somehow it al

His Prophecy Came True.

Edward Wigglesworth, Hollis pro-
fessor Of divinity at Cambridge" in a
little pamphlet published in the porten-
tous year Of 1775, mus have had cor
rect idea Of the prosperity of this coun-
try during the century just closing, as
he predicted that the population of the
British American colonies" In 1900
would be SO,OOO,0OO.
Included In this estimate was Nova
Scotia, now the Dominion of Canada,
which with It's last recorded census re-
suit of 100000 added to the 10000, 900
of the United States fulfills almost to
the letter the accuracy of the Wiggles-
worth prophecy. And this somewhat
remarkable forecast was not based up
on any species of guess work, but upon
well defined and clearly constructed
mathematical theory, which, reduced
to plain words, can be best described in
the language of It's author:
1.-THE British-Americans have doubled
their numbers in every period of
twenty-five years from their first plan
tatfon."
Taking this statistical fact as basis
for his calculations the Harvard divin-
ity professor constructed a system of
reckoning the increase of a country's
population which history has shown to
be as correct as his method was simple.
Assuming that the 1875 population
was 100000 Mr.. Wigglesworth esti-
mated 100000 for 1900, 100000 for
1875. 20,OOo,0o0 for 1850, 100000 for
1875 and SO,000,O0O for 1000, and the
record of the United States census since
Its initial taking In 100 shows sub
stantially these figures, as follows;
Census of 1900, 5,30s,O0o; 1926 $500.
9,633, 900; 1850, 23,191,0OO; 1875 dS7M,
3S, 65S, 900; 1900, with Canada, $1,000.

Was Too Literal by Far.

Colonel Pew tells story Of the
Tenth regular infantry that Is pretty
good. One night In Cuba one of the
sentries was raw recruit from the
green isle and the officer of the day, on
his rounds, was challenged by him.
"Who goes there"
"Officer of the day."
Not a move on the part of the sentry
and the officer of the day stepped for
ward and again was greeted by ''Who
goes there?" and he again replied in the
same way. Not move on the part of
the sentry, but the officer of the day
heard an ominous click.
"What are your orders, anyway he
asked.
Challenge three times, then fire."
was the laconic and self-satisfied
answer, and the officer of the days hat
was raised on his hair as he realized
how near he was to being peppered by
the sentry. The latter was given a few
instructions before he went on sentry
duty again.

WORLDLY BEAUTY.

And the world is full Of beauty
