The hills OF Bethlehem are full of
caves, natural and artificial, and
many of them have historic signifi-

which Joseph and Mary are said to
have concealed themselves before their
flight into egypt to escape the evil de-
signs of nerod. The snowy whiteness
of the soft chalk out of which it is
hewn is ascribed to the spilling Of
few drops of the Virgins milk when she
nursed the infant Jesus. Another grot-

with fire crackers and other explosives,
considerable dynamite being used in
the early dawn The crowds began
arriving early from the surrounding
country, and these we're augmented by
large numbers coming on the trains.
The European Carnival Company,
which had been advertised as an at

come and consequently there was great
disappointment 10 many. But the
carnival had stranded somewhere down

about the whole thing for the observ-

of the people, the situation somewhat
resembled the collapse of balloon

retary Smith, of the Minnekahta Club,
rallied his forces aud arranged Il pro-
gram OF sports, besides those already
provided for, so that there was about
as much in that line as one usually gets
at celebration Then to add to the
disappointment the Edgemont base
ball team failed to come and two local
teams were improvised for contest,
and they endeavored to entertain the
crowd, making a score of to 5-in
favor of the winners.
The program OF sports was given at
the base ball grounds and as near as
we can get at the results they were as
follows:
The so yard sack race was won by
Ray Goddard, with his brother Guy a
close second, for which they drew So
and 81.
The 100 yard burro race created con-
siderable sport and was won by Mr..
Hicks, of Wyoming.
The 300 yard saddle horse race was
won by L. r. Bingham, with Lou Spen-
Ger second; purse 81 and 50.
The 440 yard horse race was won by
