Colcheck and Rogers were first start
ers and after Is minutes of fast and
damp striking had hole down Is SIS
inches
Fisher and Bassalo were next anC
managed by mighty hard and rapid
work to puncture the rock to depth
of % 3-8 inches.
Dugan and Slattery were next and
tailed Ia inches, giving first prize to
Fisher and Bassalo with Colcheck and
Rogers second.
The single-handed contest was in
somewhat softer rock and Fisher drilled
"a inches while Black concluded that
10 7-8 inches was good enough and let
it go at that.
During every contest the crowd was
wildly enthusiastic and made more noise
than boiler factory.
HORSE RACING.
After dinner everybody gathered on
Aultman street to see the races. A
number of horses were paraded up and
down the street for inspection and ad-
miration. Pool selling was not much of
success, the sports being evidently
leary of things in general and while
there was an abundance of the ''long
green" somewhere in the gentle zeph-
yrs, very little of it got in actual sight.
The day was fine and the track fast
that is it would have been if it wasn't I
up grade so much. Following is sum-

MORE BASE BALL.
After the races everybody went up to
the ball grounds. The visitors were re-
inforced by a few local tossers and
played much better game than when
they lost the pennant. the score being
nearly tie. Only six innings were
played, with the following result:
Elko ...................O 0 4 5 2-12
Ely .............. ......4 l / 0 Ill
Batteries: Henry and Harris; Nc
Gill and Luchesi.
Just before dark the fire boys demon
strated their efficiency and sprinting
qualities by making couple of runs
down Aultman street and getting full
head of water in 29 and 20 seconds, re-
spectively. Not slow by any means
and is a mighty good guarantee for the
future safety of the town. But there
should be another cart and another team
and couple of suitable shelters for
them, and place for the boys to hold
meetings. You can't pet the fire boys
too much.
DUST FROM THE FOURTH.
A misguided individual tried to show
the crowd how to "bust" broncho,
but the bronx wouldn't "bust" and be-
haved real nice.
The CREASED pig and the CREASED pole
failed to materialize, much to the dis
appointment of the small boy, who, in
dividually and collectively, knew just
how to capture both of them.
The street decorations were fine
did you have time to notice them?
Quite a number of rigs were taste
fully decorated and made fine ap-
pearance.
C. r. Reeves was everywhere at once
during the sporting events and let ev-
eryone know just what was coming
next.
The Ely nine are now champions anG
can back it up any time.
There is no doubt that the Elko boys
are good ball players but lack of prac
tice will handicap any team. no matter
