HO! FOR THE

A Christmas Bubble Pastime Full
of Red Hot Fun.

Let every gaffer blow his coal,
To warm his toes at the warden's
dole;
Or light his pipe, while all his soul
Is in his song of troll the bowl
The bowl he sings. the jolly brown
bowl
At Merry Christmastide"
(Old English song.)
The pipes and bowls that once were
thought so indispensable to a proper
enjoyment of Christmas festivities,
may still be made the means of en-

sion.

ent divisions of the long cord must
remain in the division assigned them.
When the score of either party
amounts to one hundred, the game
ends. The winning side is announced,
the records of each individual ex-
amined, and the one who shows the
greatest number of credit marks has
the first choice of gifts, or of the
stockings which contain them. They,
however, must be chosen without ex-
aiming their contents.
After all the players on one side
have received their presents in the or
der of their respective records. the
other side is called up and the process
repeated.
The bubblers always come in third
In their turns on either side, which Is
only fair, as they have no chance to
make records.

The object of each and every player
Is to drive the bubble over on the
other side of the cord before it bursts.
If it goes under the cord it does not
count.
The party on whose side of the cord
the bubble bursts lose two points,
and the points are put down to the
credit of the other side. This, of
course, necessitates the presence of
tally keeper.
If, in the last division at either end
of the room, a skillful player manages
to coax an opponents bubble TN

gains twenty for his side.

The bubble hoopers are set upon two
chairs, one at each end of the cord
that runs the length of the room, as
shown in Figure l.
Two bubble blowers, or bubblers, as
they are called, are chosen. 1t is their
duty to blow all the bubbles: they
stand on opposite sides of the table
and blow bubbles alternately.
The bubbles are thrown as high into
the air as possible on the side of the
cord on which he or she who blows
the bubble stands.
The cord that divides the room
lengthwise, as is shown in Figure 1, is
itself divided into equal sections,

The JUBILEE MINSTRELS
GAVE A GOOD SHOW
The Second Night Decided Improve
ment Over the First Evenings
Performance.

The Jubilee Minstrels given for the
benefit of Miss Daisy BOYLE on last
Thursday and Friday evenings at Lar
sons opera house, from an artistic stand
point was decided success. Financially
the entertainment did not meet the eX-
pectations of the management. but even
at that a neat sum was realized APP
proximatinI $4,000 was cleared on the
two evenings performances.
The money has been entrusted to a
finance committee composed OF DIR. j..
B. Burns, Hon. Miles Cannon and Rev.
H. NJ. Bartlett 1t will be decided later
where Miss Boyle is to be sent to COM
plete her musical education.
The management of the show desires
to extend through the medium OF THE
HERALD their sincere appreciation OF
the support accorded them by the COM
munity at large. Without the feeling
of public spirit which has existed from
the moment the proposition to have a
benefit was made, it would certainly not
have been nearly so creditably carried
out and the efforts OF those who have
given a great deal Of time and attention
to the affair would not have proven SO
successful.
So far as the minstrel feature OF the
benefit is concerned there never APP
peared a more satisfactory amateur
theatrical performance before Yakima
audience Director Harry Baylor is de-
serving OF the fluctuations of all those
who took part in and witnessed the min.
strel show He devoted many weeks OF
hard work upon the entertainment and
its success is due in a large degree to his
supervisor. Nagler's orchestra also
added much to the success OF the show
Their work was good and was highly ap-
preciated by the members of the troupe
as well as the audience. Miss Jessie
Scott accompanied the soloists at the
piano with excellence and put in many
hours OF patient rehearsing with the
chorus. Her efforts were greatly appre.
ciated
The work Of the ends was very good
and some OF the topical Jokes went
home.
George Nance's song, Looking fol
Another Occupation" and A. A. Tylee's
"Just Kiss Yourself Goodbye called
forth great applause from the entire
audience.

Sunnyside and pass upon the routes.
Route No. is south, east and north

1He nOPPICKeRS WERE
NOT PUSHED AT ANY STAGE
The Ellensburq Team Not in the Same
Class With Captain Dunn's
TOSSerS--ScOre 0-5.

Sunday was an ideal day for baseball
and the biggest crowd of the season
gathered on the grounds to see the locals
wipe up the earth with the "Windy
City" aggregation. At no stage of the
game was the result ever in doubt, as it
was apparent to everyone present that
the visitors were clearly outclassed.
Klinkhammer pitched for the Hop
pickers and although allowing eleven
hits off his delivery, he kept them well
scattered so as to avoid critical situa-
tions.
In the absence of Irby, who left for
trotted around in the center field garden.
Kohls is certainly hitting the ball out
this year.
Captain Dunn tried new man on
third (McGinnis), who plays very fast
ball at times. If the young man has a
batting eye it might be good stunt to
show it occasionally.
There were no unpleasant features
connected with the game sunday. FL
lensburg and Yakima have quit all their
school boy side issues and are accepting
the decisions of their respective umpires
like professionals.
John Daviscourt of the visiting team,
playing in left field had nine put outs to
his credit when the game had ended.
He made some phenomenal long running
catches and acce ted doubtful chances.
Edwards of Ellensburg was very rotten
at short stop. The visitors as a whole
played poor baseball, making total of
eight errors. They say, however, that
the next game between the rival teams
will be decidedly different. 1t is hoped,
at least, that Ellensburg will make it in
teresting for the locals.
The following is the lineup of the two
teams:
