Forte and Nick Pickle, and op-
posed to them we're eight husky
individuals that pulled nightly,
but Yves and Tom and their
sturdy companions brought the
opposition over the line and won
the 500 given by Fred Dudley.
The baseball game. was called
at 4 o'clock, and a large crowd
Assem- bled at the new grounds to
see the contest. The game was
a good one for six innings, but
after that the Bemidji boys
simply batted the ball to all parts
of the diamond, and Won by the
score of 10 to 8. Lee LeGore
pitched and Summers caught for
the locals, while Williamson
twirled and Robinson officiated
behind the bat for the st. Paul
outfit.
After supper the crowd as
sem bled on the lake shore to see
the launch races. There we're
twenty-five launches entered,
under various handicaps. M. E.
Smith rounded the finishing buoy
first, with S. e. P. White second
and e. III. Winter third.

opera house was largely patron.
lied, it being estimated that at
least 200 people participated in
the various dances during the
night. The Blackduck orchestra
furnished the music, and Thomas
English acted as :prompter. On
account of the large crowd in the
hall, an hours intermjssion was
given at midnight. It was 5
o'clock when the orchestra
struck up "Home, sweet home''
and the dancers sought their
places of rest for a few hours be-
fore departing for their homes
outside of town. ~
Too much credit cannot be
given the committee appointed
by the Commercial club to handle
the celebration; Mayor A. A.
Carter, J. A. McAvoy, George
Markham, +. b. Brinkman and
David Gill for the success of the
affair.
1t was only ten days ago when
the members of the Commercial
club decided on having a celebra-
ton on a small scale, inorder that
Bemidji people might stay at
home on the national holiday.
The committee got busy, and by
judicious advertising and a great
amount of hustling got the cele.
bration noised abroad, aud ar.
ranged an entertaining program
of small sports, games and races.
This was just what the crowd
q
wanted, and it is safe TO state
that every visitor who came to
town went away well pleased
with their stay in the city. The
success Of the celebration paves
the way for 9 monster affair next
year.

LIZ q PA1AO " w ~ OSoAs &AA0s
Gam BILE had secured the children
and arranged them so that they
made a very nice appearance.
Immediately after the parade
a horse race was run on Minne-
sofa avenue. The race was for
the best two in three heats. and
there we're five horses entered.
In the first heat, Wheelock s
pony in some manner threw it's
rider, Tommie Newly, and the
little nag wentthrough the course
riderless, and ran some five miles
into the country, before being
captured and brought back to
town. Two heats in succession
were won by Thomas Smart's
runner, and Joseph Young's
blacks took second and third.
At the close of this race the
crowd repaired to the various
hotels and restaurants, where
everybody was given dinner in
an expeditions manner that did
credit to the city.
At 100 the foot races were
called, the course for the first
race 200 yards) being from the
Miles corner to the corner in
front of the Markham hotel.
There were four entries, and the
race was closely.contested one.
Scott Stewart was first and Ray
Dennis second; time 10y seconds.
The 200 yard race was run from
the city hall to Bemidji avenue.
Stewart was again winner, with
Dennis second. Time, twenty
four seconds.
Mrs. Campbell won the mar.
ried ladies' race; Mrs. Gamble
started, just to accommodate the
committee, and took her time.
According to Alderman Brink.
man, she won second money sin
a walk"
Several little girls ran a race,
Nellie Stepp coming to the tape
first, Clara Dicaire second.
In the old mans race there
were several old-time sprinters
who still had a burst of speed
left in their makeup. Harry
Cell, ST., who is the father of
three fast sprinters, and A. B.
Allen, the "Growler," tore up
the dirt in a manner that put to
shame the 1OO-yard sprinters of
the previous race. They came in
neckand.neck, and the judges
decided the run a tie between the
two veterans, but Mr.. Allen was
awarded the hat, as he clearly
hit the tape first. It now
develops that the "Growler" was,
for number of years, the bare
foot champion of his old home
town.
The pony race was run on
Minnesota avenue. Hayes won
first money, Cole second, and
little Tommy Wright brought his
pony in third.
The CREASED pig was turned
loose on Second street and his
swineship made merry for
several moments, when Johnnie
Miles got a firm grip on his front
hams and held on until the Judges
gave him the porker.
The CREASED pole was finally
climbed by Johnnie Miles.
The tug-of-war was a struggle

Greeks in rye olden time" Yves

 The halt in the operations by large capitalists was attributed in some ouar. ters to desire to await the clearing of differences over the ore deal.

Contradiction Of this report did not entirely relieve the market from the oppressive infu- ehce or the talk of his ill-health. Some aiioWance must be made for the diver slon or speculative activity to quarters outside the stock exchange in account ing for apathetic conditions there. Wall street gives attention to the cotton market in periods of excitement there, such as ruled to-day The proceedings Tn the outside market also offer q strong contrast to the somnolence on the floor of the stock exchange.

Coppers and gold mines are the faVorites, but the most eager dealers in the shares are alleged to be uninformed as to the product of their property. within few days past the speculation III mines in the outside market has talk eh on the proportions of a craze. Union Pacitics strength was connected with reports of the very favorable character or the Forthcoming annual report. The renewed weakness of Russian securities abroad and disquieting rumors of the condition of Russian finances were thought to have some bearing on the restraint apparent in the stock market The market closed buoyant under the influence of the late outburst of anima- tion.
