ELKS WILL HOLD ATHLETIC
 MEET 2.
Preparations Are Being Made For the Big Event Which Will Be. Dragged Off at Don Luis Prk, Nov 4th.

The great athletic meet, under the auspices of the local lodge of Elks, will be the drawing card at the Don Luis Park on November 4th, at which time all of the well known local ath- letes will take part, and 1t Is expected that many of the worlds records will be badly bent If not fractured. This will be the Elk's first appearance in the athletic field. and even this would not happen if 1t were not for the fact that a big opening has been planned to take place when the new club house on Main street is ready for occupancy, and this was considered the best manner of securing funds 10 cover the incidental expenses.
 The meet is under the special man. agement of Jack McGregor, who has counted more ties in a shorter time than any man living. and stands ready to defend his title at any time. Up to date a very fine program has been arranged, and other stunts will be added as time goes on.
 At the present time the star feature of the program will be a baseball game, in which nobody but expert ball-tossers will be allowed to partici- pate. The names of the opposing teams have not been selected as yet but will be announced within the next few days. One peculiarity of the game will be that anybody who makes a perfect play will be immediately sent to the mourner's bench, there to learn a little information on baseball v,to ,x, h,x any special suits, but there will be plenty of costumes, the only restric- tion being that no player will be al- lowed to wear short skirts. The ball game promises to be interesting.
 The next feature will be wrestling match between Little Ball, the drug gist. and Sid Varney. Articles of agreement have been signed barring all holds but the strangle hold, and permitting Ball the use of a ladder, which will not be longer than ten feet. Both wrestlers are confident and have posted fourfiush-
 What promises to be a record breaker. Is the 20-yard dash for the championship of the southwest. There are only two contestants, all others having been eliminated in the pre- The two contestants are the two Shorties, the bootblacks.. It has been rumored that bitter feeling has sprung up between the two part ners, on account of the match. and a good race is looked for.
 Long Jack McGregor, the wilted- weight, will meet Shorty Jackson, the paper-weight, in an eight-round go. Both are training faithfully, and up last evening the betting was even money. It is thought that Jackson will be a slight favorite at the ring side on account of his superior knowl- edge of foot work, gathered during his long experience as manager of the Copper Queen shoe department.
 Exalted Ruler Spiers, in spite of the fact that he is suffering from sprain- CT wrist, will appear as the living pictures. Spiers has travelled the vaudeville circuit in this stunt, and has invariably had things come his way.
 James Augustus Alphonsous Nich- ols proprietor of the Maze ice cream paTlor, will address the audience on his favorite subject: Temperance, and How It Is Done"
 Other features will be added from time to time and it is expected that the event will be great success.
