TOWN BOYS WIN.

The ball game Saturday afternoon
at the post between the Town Boys
and Fort Brown teams was very
Interesting up the the beginning of
the fifth inning, when the score
stood five to FIVE. About this time,
some heavy batting by the town
boys and wild throws by the sol
diers sent the score of the Rice
bids climbing upwards, while the
soldiers score was held down to
goose eggs.
The soldiers made three more
scores after that, and the town boys
went steadily ahead. At the wind
up the town boys showed up win
ners by a score of seventeen to
eight.
A very large crowd witnessed
the game, and it is said that a lot
of plunks changed hands on the
results.

themselves on the chairs placed around
the sides Of the room in accord with the
old customs. All were arrayed in the cos
tunes handed down by their fathers and
mothers.
Chief Longfeather, whose ancestors held
dominion over the Manhattans 300 years
ago, acted as master Of ceremonies. in his
opening address he spoke English. all the
Indians present understanding that tongue,
while they could not be expected TO under
stand haphazard any one Of the sixty odd
Indian languages other than their own.
Longfeather explained that they had
assembled In order to form o closer bond
OF union between the Indians Of various
tribes whose caliings caused them to 1.-Two in
New York most OF the time, or often led
them hither First they should engage
in the old tine dances and rekindle the
old Indian spirit that had slumbered too
long in many.
Inc old women began by starting the
shuttle dance. This is executed in pc
culiar II amer by alternately moving one
foot slightly forward of the other, but
neither at any time leaving the floor. The
elderly women make very graceful move
ments with their hands, arms and heads
keeping the body stif and erect.
Then in honor of Mr.. Keppler, came
the pigeon dance, led by Chief Deer, who
Rad been sent as a delegate by the Indian
colony Of Philadelphia. After few other
dances the ert war dance was begun to
the vi lid music Of songs and rattles.
In the ceremony the Indians grouped
themselves within a circular area standing
close together. The singers began their
songs beating time upon their drums. and
the dancers m1de the floor resound with
npile Fee Iach war song lasted about
two mi lutes and was followed by an inter-
val of about the same length.
These war songs are in verses or mees-
ured sentences, and interpreted would be
something like the following:
7 am brave and intrepid.
do not fear death nor any kind OF tortured
Those who fear them are towards,
They are less than women
Life is nothing to those who have couraEel
May mine enemies he cohfoundeo ana despair
with rage!
The warwhoop always preceded each
song. 1t was given by the leader and
answered by the band.
After the violent erertions of the war
dance the Indians removed their heavy
skin costumes and donned citizens cloth
ing. This was in order that the white mans
dances might be indulged In as we'll. An
orchestra had been hired, and the music
OF civilization gave place to that Of the
savage
council, business of a more serious nature
was considered. A count Of names showed
that between forty and fifty Indians Of
various tribes had respo nded to the council
call Of Chief Longfeather.
