by to 1. The initial performance of
the day was ragged and slow, but the
one of the afternoon was punctuated
with many splendid fielding stunts,
chief among winch was Corkill's catch
of Miller's drive to left in the sixth
inning. The turnstile showed total
of 1882 for the two games, 730 in the
morning and l,1s2 in the afternoon.
The afternoon session was q keen,
altho one sided struggle, and after the
fifth dining it became evident barring
unexpected happenings, that the locals

hit Burnett, II not hard at least very
timely, as was evidenced by the four
of the six TALES having been earned.

Williams double and Spencers single
and Tuttle's wild throw to third, on
which Spencer scored. Tuttle was
later retired with a split finger.
Sump's error, Harris and Williams
singles and Corkill's double in the fifth
gave two more. and Sump's muff of
Browns two Dagger and Thomas sin
giles in the eighth furnished another
pair of tallies.
While the Brownies were hitting
Burnett with apparent ease at about

more or less trouble with Dick. They
scattered seven hits thru the nine
times at bat, but no two of them broke
out together, except in the open inn

Mornino Game Raced.

The morning game was ragged and
slow, and before the locals helped
Waterloo to take it, the visitors almost
beat them in the presentation by blow
ing up at times earlier in the session,
and had the Brownies been able to
take advantage of the opening to score
the four the visitors made in the fifth
would have done them no good. Be-
cause the Brownies could not hit when
the bases We're full, or when two were
on second and third, as was the case
four different times, the visitors won.
Both of Anklam's twirlers We're Wild.
Riley worked for two innings, then
he was taken cut, and Woodgatt was
put in. Together the two hit five
Brownies and passed four more. strik-

GLORIOUS FOURTH
PASSED QUIETLY
Usual Din of Merrymaking Was
Not So Pronounced and Ac-
cidents Were Few
CELEBRATED IN MANY WAYS
Thousands Spent Most Of the Day at
the carnival-Ball Games, Country
Clubs, Picnics and Family Gather
inss Attracted Thousands More -
Many Here From Out Of the City.

Comparatively speaking, the Glorious
making Of celebration, passed off qulei-
~. There was a constant din OF ex-
plosives, but the prohibition Of the sale
of dangerous firecrackers lessened the
noise and cut down the number of ac-
cidents. Compared with other years
the accidents were few and none were
fatal.
The Fourth was celebrated In some
way by almost everyone able to be
about, and the crowd which came TO
the city from surrounding towns was
the largest in years. The carnival at
tracted many, especially those from out
of the city. both during the afternoon
and evening. The ball games at Fin
kle's park, drew two big crowds, and
the Country Club members, and their
friends from away from the city, spent
a delightful day on the club grounds.
Parties with filled lunch baskets left
the city for all directions early In tn,
morning and spent the day in the cool
woods along the rivers bank Many
family gatherings were held about the
city and picnic dinners and suppers on
lawns were common.
The traffic into the city, which began
Tuesday evening. continued all day on
the Fourth, and all of the trains were
delayed on account Of the unusual
crowds. All of the trains carried ex-
ira couches to accommodate the many,
but even this was not sufficient and
many had to stand.
While the rain late In the afternoon
threatened to spoil the good time for
the day, it passed over. with only a
slight fall here.

MANY AT CARNIVAL
Thousands Witness the Afternoon and
Evening Performances Of the Pat
terson- Rrainerd Carnival Company
Crowd Quiet and Orderly.

Thousands from within and without
the city crowded and jammed full the
canvas walled grounds of the Patter-
som Brainerd Carnival Company, at
noon and evening Of the Fourth. At
the box office 1t was said the total
paid admissions for the day We're A.,
600, more than half of which were
during the evening.
After o'clock at night the grounds
were jammed, and moving about was
made possible only by pushing and
showing. which the crowd did good
naturally. The percentage shows
were rushed to the limit trying to
give performances enough to catch all
Of the crowd, and the din Of the bally
hoes the shouting of the "barkers,"
the automatic music Of the "steeple
chase" and the blare of the band, made
a combination of noises that Were
close to deafening.
All OF the shows ana attractions on
the ground did an immense business,
that of the Rosa Lee" show being
probably about as large as any. In
the evening the stadium" one of the
very excellent shows of the carnival,
put on two performances.
People were shot in and out of the
Bum Fuzzle," and "(1iggle Alley" with
all the rapidity that could be sum-
moned, and still give each his moneys
worth. The Ferris wheel carried hum
dreds, and hundreds more rode on the
"steeple chase"
While the crowd was large 1t was
an orderly one, and only one arrest
was made on the grounds during the
day.
The street car company was over
whelmed with business in the evening,
and its limited equipment did not sup
ply half of those who wanted trans
portation to and from the grounds.
