HOlSIRGTON'S BIG DAY.
Two Days of Sports and Eiilarity That
Will Be Long Remembered.

Concisely speaking, the Harvest
Home Picnic at Hoisington for 1904,
was a grand success. Everything
that was odvertised-except the bal
loon ascensions-was pulled off salts
factorily, and the gentlemen who did
the ''rustling'' are deserving of great
credit for their abilities as pushing
entertainers.
On Friday the heavy winds and
extreme hot weather made it un-
pleasant, and kept many away; but
there was a fair sized crowd of
visitors present just the same. There
would have been several hundred
more in attendance from Great Bend
that day, had there not been blum
dering bobble in the arrangements
for special trains-for which the com
mittee was in nowlse responsible.
A detailed report of the various
sports would be ancient history.
They were good enough, and plenty.
The ball games both days were we'll
attended, but the McCracken team
was away yonder outclassed by their
opponents. Fridays score was II to
1 in favor of Ellsworth. Saturdays
game started out better, but Ellsworth
let McCracken boys down a little
easier, the score that day being 9 to
5, in favor of Ellsworth.
The street decorations were fine,
and every business man and resident
laid themselves out to make all
visitors feel at home.
On Saturday, especially in the
afternoon, there was much larger
attendance of farmers and other out
of town visitors, and although there
was threatening rain, which finally
came in the evening, the ardor of the
celebrators seemed not in the least
dampened by the intermittent showers.
In the evening the fireworks dis
play was pulled off by the members
of the local Hose Co., and it was
spledid. Their "Welcome" and
''Good Night" set pieces were much
finer than seen at Great Bend on the
4th.
During the fireworks, the electric
J lights were turned off, and some OF
the over-enthusiastic became a little
too gay for good order; but taking the
| two days all through, there was not
more than the usual amount of roudy
ism, and Police Judge Jones was moi
overworked.
Mayor Abe Goodwin was every
where, and remembered the news

Again, we want to assert, from the
standpoint of a visitor, that the 1904
Harvest Home picnic by the citizen.
of Hoisington, was grand success:
in every way.

The rain Saturday night seems to
have been pretty general all over the
county.
One pleasing feature at Hoisington
Saturday afternoon was the concerts
given at the Valerius drug store by
the Pizinger Orchestra of Olmitz.
The boys certainly do make some
good music.
