How MINNEAPOLIS Celebrated.

account of a Fourth of July celebra-
tion. but this particular celebration OF
which we are to say WORD was SO
far out of the ordinary and such
. commencement on the kind of cele-
hration in which our country INDUCES
as q whole on July 4, that it is much
better TO tell about it even at 'his
late day than not to discuss II at dill
Minnea polls is the city in question ana
if is surprising that no more news

along with those of all our other cities
have been pleading foH seVerai Se''''

o,or n 1he Minneapolis Elks, who as
b,,st,ers and as members of a patriotic
o,dor nroceeded to carry out the pro-
gram. The program was something
after this fashion: The parade ground,
, tract of 20 acres, was the scene of
the celebration and on this tract nearly
20 600 children had the day of their
lives and not one of them was killed
or injured No explosives of any ma
ture were allowed on the grounds, but
there were concerts by two bands,
three raised platforms devoted to
acrobatic and vaudeville stunts. fine
program of sports with prizes for the
winners, hogsheads and hogsheads of
free lemonade and fOodstuffs without
limit for the hungry youngsters.
A leading feature of the day was
flag raising and the staff which was
donated by a well known lumberman is
declared to be the tallcst and finest in
the Northwest. In connection with
the flag raising there was brief adj
dress, the singing Of 1.-THE Star
Spanglel Banner by a chorus of
thousand schoolgirls, and when the
great flag was raised to the top of the
staff thousands of tiny flags fell from
it's folds and futtered down among the
vast concourse of children. The cele-
bration was such success in every
detail that it promises to become an
annual affair in Minneapolis and it is
to be hoped that other large cities will
follow the good example of this Min
Lesota city and help along the good
work of reforming the American meth
Cd of celebrating the day Of its ma
tional independence.

the One Held at Salt Lake.
]. Jenkins, Secretary
Bowling CnngreSSl

tBy a. j. Jenkins, Secretary Western
Bowling COngress)
Now that big purses are becoming a
popular fad all over the west the bowl
ers will come in for their share of recog-
milton when they meet in Denver March
to IA. to compete for the western cham
pionship and the largest purses ever hung
up in bowling tournament.
The second annual tournament of the
Western Bowling congress. which is to
be held in Coliseum hall Denver. prom
ises TO be one of the greatest sporting
events Of the year.
The bowlers all over the west. from
the Mississippi river to the Pacific coast,
have promised to send representatives TO
compete for the championships and the
rich prizes that will be awarded.
Five thousand dollars in cash prizes Will
positively be distributed among the win
ners in the different events, and the
fiVe-man team winning the championship
will receive 500 as their share of the prize
money. while the two-men and individual
champions will receive propOrtionately
large amounts.
In addition 10 this, about one-fourth Of
the participants in each event Will re-
ceive liberal prizes.
Unlike the A. b. c.. the Western Bowl
ing congress does not retain fifteen per
cent OF the entry money for expenses.
but guarantees that every dollar paid in
as entry fees by the bowlers will be re-
turned TO them in prizes.
The tournament rules also provide that
all prizes shall be paid i'm full within
twenty-four hours after the close OF the
event in which they are won.
All bOWlers within the territory west
OF the Mississippi river are eligible TO en-
ter and compete i'm this tournament, and
those winning first hOnors will be placed
i'm the limelght as leading contenders for
the national title.
The tournament Will be held under the
auspices Of the Denver Bowling Tourna-
ment association. which organization is
composed of many Of the representative
business men of Denver. some OF the most
prominent of whom are the mayor of the
city. the president Of the chamber OF
commerce and the president of the fire
and police board.
The association is looking carefully
after every detail of the arrangements,
and various committees have been ap-
pointed to receive and entertain the Wis
iting bOwlers while in the city.
New alleys will be installed for the
occasion, and seating capacity will be
provided for 1000 spectators
With the national prominence that at
taches to the results of this meeting it
is estimated that from 70 to 100 teams
will be on hand to participate in the
tourney.
Denver is an ideal convention city and
the hospitality of the citizens will be in
evidence on this occasion to make the
visit of the bowlers a pleasant one.
