A Great Combination. A
Great Record. A List of Artists
that Eclipse all others.
The crookston Daily Times says:

Beach & Bowers Minstrels at the
opera house gave one of the most in
teresting minstrel shows ever seen in
Crookston. The audience was pleased
far beyond expectation as the show
was strictly clean and high class in
every respect. Interlocutor Doyle
has very clever and funny way OF
propounding his questions and the
end men did some stunts that were
entirely new and provoked hearty
laughter and much applause. The
solo work as we'll as the chorus work,
was far above the average. This
company comprises list of artists
whose equals were never seen in
CrOOkston with a minstrel show.
In the second part of the program
the specialties were of high character,
Doyle and Higgins putting on q
particularly funny sketch, the three
bell ringers with "joker," the quar-
tette work and Russell ]. Smith, the
bicycle rider, all doing work that is
certain to please anywhere. The most
wonderful part of the entire program,
however, is the work of the contortion-
list, who distanced anything ever be-
fore seen in Crookston and whose
stunt alone was worth the price OF
admission.

New York. April 12.-Under the
most favorable weather conditions,
with the exception of threatening
storm in st. Louis, the National Lea
que baseball clubs today began their
fight for the penant of 1906. Crowds
numbering thousands and filling prac-
tically every available seat in the
bleachers and stands watched their
favorites either go down to defeat or
start the season with a victory. And
they were disappointed in their hopes
for victory for the home team. as in
not one case did the local contingent
gain a victory.
Close and interesting were the
games played this afternoon and
when the contests concluded Boston
had beaten Brooklyn, New York de-
feated Philadelphia, Chicago and
Pittsburg had won from Cincinnati
and st. Louis respectively.
1t was battle royal that was play
ed at st. Louis between the Cardinals
and the Pittsburg Pirates. For twelve
innings these two clubs battled with
out sending a man across the late. In
the 18th the Piratess scored run
and although the Cardinals made a
gallant effort the best they could do
was to annex one run to their credit
To Boston the credit is given of
scoring the first shut out of the sea-
son, the Beaneaters playing Brook
Ign and holding the Trolley Dodgers
down to a nest of goose eggs.
The Giants took the lead from the
Quakers in the first inning, which
Chicago, aided by Cincinnati's errors
sent the Reds down to defeat.
