The Pembina base ball club that made
such sweeping victories last season met
on Monday and mode a preliminary or
ganization and expect to be in the field
soon.
The Class play on Tuesday was attend
ed by a large audience who were we'll
pleased. A longer notice which is we'll
deserved is crowded out Of this weeks
issue.
There will be room and customers for
large number of refreshment stands on
circus day about town. These will be
under the supervision of the city author
tiles and small license fee charged. No
fake or gambling games will be allowed
on any account. The circus people have
not only agreed not to run anything OF
that kind but they also require the city
to agree not to allow any thing of the
| sort in town that day.
The week on the whole has been
showery and rather cool. So far the
grain is looking we'll where it has drain
age: That is in spots it never looked
better at this time Of year but there are
many other spots that are very poor.
lhe numerous showers and moist wealth
er it continued are almost sure to bring
back the rust like we had last season.
But we have had so much ram so far
that we are mare likely to have it rath er
dry from this time out.
The band has organized under the

Comrade Sondern1an left on Tuesday
for St. Paul where his old regiment, the
famous First Minnesota had a reunion
this week. By Wednesdays daiies we
notice that the old colonel, Gen. Colville,
who arrived there on Tuesday to also
attend the reunion was found dead in
bed Wednesday morning. He died of
heart f,ilure and his death came quietly,
while he was sleeping. 1t will be sad
reunion for his old comrades who re
present. The First Minnesota was per-
haps the most famous Of all the civil war
regiments, principally from the fact that
they alone withstood the charge Of
whole brigade at Gettysburg and loss
was the greatest ever known in one en-
gagement. Mr. Sonderman returned
home yesterday,
w. B. Fairbairn. Of Winnipeg was in
the city over Sunday visiting friends. Mr..
talrbalrn IS connected with los Nav s.
Co. one Of the leading automobile deal
ers in Winnipeg and is consequently an
auto enthusiast. He says that big
preparations are being made tor the
tournament that takes place in the Twin
Cities the first week in July, when it is
expected that the entire country tribu1-
airy to that center will be represented.
Winnipeg expects to be represented by
about dozen, and the run will be made
overland via Grand Forks and Fargo
where they will be joined by the repre-
sentatlves of those, and other places
along the line. The run from Winnipeg
to Grand Forks will be made in one day,
via Pembina, and they expect to start on
the 18th or Doth inst.
