Club women are certainly enjoy ing the
summer vacation and weather and hav-
ing good time. 1t is renarkable how
few have yet left Butte for more CON-
genial climes. And at the race well,
YOU will find them out there by the doz-
chs, and actually betting. Generally
winning too.
There is an old joke about the woman
who bet on horse because she liked his
name. Some of the club women do fun
nier things than that out at the Butte
track. One bets on a horse because he
was pretty and another always bets on
the jockey. If he wears colors she likes,
then she bets on him. And to the aston
fshment of the grand stand, these two
nearly always win, or else come out
even.
One of the most successful players at
the track is a prominent club woman,
and she apparently could not lose if she
tried. She knows all about horses
though and is a competent judge.
And at night at the saucer track these
same club women go wild over the races
and cheer enthusiastically when their
favorite comes in at a killing pace. In
fact wherever there is anything doing,
there you will find Butte's progressive
club women.
And when the club season opens these
women will go to their work refreshed
and rejuvenated by their season of fun
and play. And their papers will be full
of vim and vigor caught from the out
door atmosphere their writer's have lived
in.
At the track one club woman was
greatly shocked when she saw some OF
the club members betting. She spoke in
such vindictive manner that her
hearers demonstrated but to no avail.
She thought, one would judge. that those
light hearted women would be eternally
doomed if they kept on in their wild ca
reer of crime. She aVoWed that she
wanted to go on record as unalterably
opposed to such conduct. Just as ! am
against poker playing for a cent ante
"rut you played for prZes?" remon-
stratea one woman.
That is vastly different and I 60 not
think | shall ever do that again." was
the reply.
And the converse ton went on. This
woman was evidently what the users OF
slang call a .'knocker." Nothing was
right in her estimation. Reference was
made to the year book of one of the
clubs. Poorest they have ever had
was her comment. Another one was
spoken of. THE worst selection of sub
1ects and all unsuitably given"
And so it went until the woman ir
the rear felt inclined to intrude and cal
her attention to an article she had jus
been reading in an eastern paper
was all about a new order, Don
Knock and told people how to obey TIT
golden rule. 1t is founded on that rule
Therefore al things whatsoever "
would that men should do to yo'l. do v,
even so to them'-Matthew vii. u.

this occasion will be tinged with a
deep caTmine hue and period Of exc

This feature Of the street fair will with
out doubt be one of the most enjoyable
Of the entire programme.
Monday, July %, will be Overland day,

sion a beautiful floral parade will be a
feature OF the days proceedings and
| unbounded interest is already being
| manifested. Handsomely decorated
eQuippages will be feature Of the

Mr.. George L. Hutchin. promoter OF
| the Butte Street Fair and Carnival,
and business manager for the Jabour
shows, is a man of wide experience in
such matters. He formerly resided at
| New Orleans, the home of the Mardl
| Gras and was closely identified with the
/ Yelled Prophets carnival Of ST. Louis,
| and the knights of Electra in Chicago.
| He enjoys national reputation as
promoter of eXpositions, and came to
| Butte several weeks ago to assist in the
| Inauguration of the great fair and car
nival that is being given so successfully
by the Overland club.

and the fact that the contest was fought
with great deal of zeal by the respec-
tive ladies' friends the honor thus be-
slowed upon Miss Steward is the great
err. Her popularity and charming per-
sonality will lend prominence and tone
to the carnival. That the affair will be
a huge success with such a ruler there
is no doubt.
Since the announcement that there
would be queen elected large num-
Der of the popular young ladies of the
town have been entered in the race by
their respective friend. and without eX-
ertion on their part their candidacy was
fought. The fact that the young ladies
hal nothing to do with the contest per-
sonally except, perhaps, that ambition
which always comes to a contestant to
win. will tend to soften the feelings of
defeat.
The vote in the contest stood: Miss
Mabel linn, S07: Grace Southworth, s04;
Cora Eschle 1,640; Lena Leford, 1877:
Birdie Carter, 500; Carrie Clements, sO7;

will be one of complete pleasure.

invited to view the wonders of the fair.
Upon that day the place will be thronged

Studying German.

A mistake was made last week in stat
ing that any number of members could
join the newly formed German class COM
posed of Atlas club members. There can
only be six in a class but there will be
several classes of that number each. The
classes meet with the teacher, Miss Best,
every Monday and Thursday afternoon
from 4:30 to $50.
In one class Mesdames Green Majors,
G. S. Passmore. NJ. L. Holiness A. H.
Whitcher and Mrs. w. w. Wishon are
gathered. There is room for one more
lasember in the class. Although they have
|tonly taken two weeks the members are
trying to talk to each other already.
Their salutations and adieux are always
in that tongue and by ball they expect
to be in such a state Of perfection that
they can have German evenings"

WORK ON THE GROUNDS.
Grading About the Monument Is
Now Being Done.

Within a frw weeks it is expected
that the work on the court house
grounds will hc completed The por-
tion of the grounds about the monu-
n"nt is now being graded, but the
work has progressed rather slowly on
account of the difficulty encountered in
getting earth.
The soldiers and sailors monumcn. .
has caused much difficulty in planning
the grading of that portion OF the
grounds. Unfortunately, tha founda-
tion on which it rests was not built
high enough and as a result if the
grad" of the rest of the ground was
rontormcd to. several feet of the
dressed side work would be covered
Dn the other hand, if the grounds
were graded down to the monument
il would have the appearance of being
set in Il hole.
To avoid this. County Surveyor
Stevenson has arranged an ingenious
plan which, by means of walks, shrub
hcry and terraces, will prevent the
beauty of the monument from being
narred. and will greatly enhance the
beauty of the grounds.
The irrigating plant for sprinklng
the lawn is almost installed. and will
save IL great amount of money and
labor for the commissioners. This is
also an idea of the county surveyor.
