The Flagstaff team, owing to some mishaps, did not make as good showing, but made the test for water in 34 seconds.
 The real events of the carnival began in the afternoon and the large grand stand was crowded with spectators and the grounds with carriages and those on horse back.
 The athletic sports were numer- ous and consisted of foot races and jumping, potato and sack races:
 The 22O yard dash foot race was won by Lee Doyle.

 Running high jump, Lee Blair won; Dan McSweeney second.
 In the potato race Charles Quay was first, Antonio Chaves second.
 Young Travis won the sack race; Charlie Dutton second.
 The COW race was one of much interest and caused discussion as to what constituted that kind of horse, but the question was soon settled by the judges. There were four entries for the quarter mile race. Luke O'Brien's horse won first money; Babbitt's horse second.
 In the fancy saddle horse race two entries were made by l. F. w. Wheeler and bay owned by NJ. T. Piper. Wheeler's horse won easily, as the Piper horse bolted the track
 The racing event of the day was the free-for-all half mile, best two in three heats. There were but two entries in the race-a black mare owned by Andrew Miller of Will jams, and bay horse owned by L. F. Verkamp of Flagstaff. Both heats were won easily by the Miller mare.
 The pony race, 300 yards, was won by Donald Chisholm.

Both clubs put up a good game and their playing met with the approval of the crowd. Fort Whipple had the Flagstaff boys going until the eighth inning, when the Flagstaff boys got on to the curves of the twirler from Whipple and pounded out five runs. Dur rett of the Whipple club struck out eight men, and Somoza, for Flag staff, was the cause of ten men from Whipple punching large hole in the ozone. Result: Flagstaff, 7; Whipple, 6.
 The Navajo Indians gave some of their picturesque dances by the light of a huge bonfire on Friday night, which was very entertaining to large crowd.
 The events of Saturday were carried out to the letter as adver- tised and large crowd was in attendance; the grand stand was filled to repletion, the fair sex be- ing very much in evidence. The log saving contest was exciting and considerable money changed hands on the result. The relay race, the gentlemen's horse race, the ladies' horse race, as well as the burro race, were interesting features of the day and greatly en- joyed by the spectators.
 Flagstaff won the ball game from Ft. Whipple by score of g to s.
 Taken all in all, it was a most successful carnival, fact of which the citizens of Flagstaff have reason ta cnnoratulate themselves On
