FIELD DAY |S A GREAT
 SUCCESS
Large Crowd Witnesses the Great, Grand and Gorgeous
 Performances of World Re- nowned Athletes at Don Luis


 In accordance with the advertise. ments of the past two weeks the Bis. bee Lodge of Elks yesterday held its first annual field day, and to say that 1t was great success would be far short of a true description. Up to the present time the small boy has been taught to look forward every year to the coming of the circus with it's many wonders, but henceforward it will be a case of looking forward to the Elks' field day Every number on the lengthy program was a success and rumors emanating from the treas ury department of the big show would indicate that the box office was not quite big enough to accommodate all the coin of the realm which found its way into the coffers of the lodge by the various devious routes which had been provided before hand.
 The parade in which three bands took part. started from the Opera House promptly at 12:45. and after marching up Main street proceeded to the railroad train which was in wait ing. The train pulled out at 1:30, ar riving at the Don Luis ball park about 2 o'clock. |. ysesspx
 As soon as the large crowd was seated in the grand stand Announcer Manahan took his place. and motioned to the crowd to keep silence while he made an announcement. He had just started to speak when Little Tim, tine messenger boy, rushed up to him and presented a telegram. Manahan i'm medistely opened the dispatch and read:
 Exalted Ruler Splers. Bisbee Lodge
 of Elks:
 Best wishes for a very successful field day.
 (Signed)
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
 The first event was then announced being the wrestling match between Little Dell Lewis and Big Jimmy Ball Ball was on deck. ready to go on the mat when a telegram arrived from the ex-sheriff which stated that he had been thrown from a horse and seri. ously injured, thereby preventing his 
 then advanced with his chest protrud- ing. and announced that he would wrestle any man, woman or child in the audience. but no one would accept the challenge.
 The next number was the tight rope walking stunt by James Nichols, but as First Supernumerary William Rob inson had forgotten to stretch the rope, Aggie's stunt had to be called off. ee
 Then came the burlesque ball game, and as an exhibition of how base ball should not be played this contest took all honors. The Bisbee Eiks' battery was very strong, Sarah Hogan having very good control of the ball and Gladys Rinehart using the basket with telling effect. The game created a great deal of merrimant among the spectators.
 Just about the time that the ball game started great number of Pc licemen appeared on the scene and started throwing the Elks into a jail or rather a corral, which had been con. structed in one corner of the grounds The peculiar part of the arrests was that you were arrested if you carried gun. and you were also arrested if you did not; you were arrested if you did speak, and you were arrested if you did not; you were arrested for walking, and you were arrested for standing cuiet; in fact. you were ar. rested whenever the efficient police came to the conclusion that you had s2.50 in your clothes. Manager w H. Brophy. of the Copper Queen store broke all records by being arrested eleven time, and being fined the GUS ! tomary two and half for each of fense. It is estimated that every Elk on the ground was arrested at least once. and many of them several times Finally, the big event on the pro gram was the ball game which was played by the Bisbee and Lowell teams, in which both hines showed themselves to be very competent ball players. The score of , to in favor of Bisbee is good indication of what the game was. Both teams played ex. cellent ball with very few exceptions Bisbee having slightly the advantage Gallegos, Overlook and Dugan car ried off the honors among the Bisbee aggregation. and Rinehart. Ikler and Randall did the best work among the suburbanites.
 Gallegos showed himself to be a twirler. very few hits being recorded against his delivery. Rinehart, oi the Lowells. also pitched good game
 The score by innings follows: | Bisbee ... 70 0 0 o 4 l 0 s-s Lowell ... ...2 0 c 0 o 0 0-s
 At the voting contest after the big show was over. it was decided that Miss Sadie Jamie Nichols had the best 1 lady's costume, and MacReady Sikes Manahan the best gentleman's outfit | Just like the circus. there were g great many features which could not be witnessed on account of there be ing so many rounds. and for that req son it will suffice to state that every
