ELKS ARRANGING. FOR GREAT
 SHOW
Local Lodge Will This Year Present New Idea, Replacing
 Annual Athletic Meet
 Beauty Contest Feature

According to the announcement made yesterday afternoon by the members of the committee appointed to take charge of the Elks ball game rext Sunday, rt which time team Representing sIe Douglas i5S3ss s5S3sss e the B. P. O. E. will cross bats with nine representing the local lodge at Don Luis, the affair will be one of the greatest entertainments ever given in the district In fact, it bids fair to overshadow Ringing Broth CTS circus, and make Pawnee Bilfs show look like child's theatrical organization.
 As a matter of fact the baseball game will be one of the best ever seen in the district, as both organiza- tions are made up of good ball toss CTS. The Douglas aggregation has quite a record behind it. having talk en the scalp of the Midland team, which defeated Cananea in two games few weeks ago The home team has been practicing for some time past, so that right now they are in good condition. All of the members are paying strict attention to the game, so that in a comparatively short time team work has been perfected. and things go with snap that marks the aggregation as good team.
 l Instead of their annual field day the Elks have decided this year to secure several good features, and present them at the ball park on the same day as the baseball game. It was an- nounced last evening by Messrs. Kirk. Spiers and Harrington. com | posing the steering committee, that the services of two of the most re nowned drivers in the world had been l secured, and that they will be match I ed against each other in chario race at the park. The gentlemen stated that most unfortunately Paw. nee Bilrs Show and Ringiing's circus are to arrive here within g couple of days of each other and the big event was made possible. It happens that one of the drivers. Harn Kari. is with Ringlings as one of the big attrac ,tions. while Guglielmo Borracho, supposed to be a descendant sf one of the old time Roman charioteers, is with Pawnee Bill.
 For several years past managers throughout the country have endedy ored to have these two men, who never uSllS NQip are dDl6 10 urge speed maddened horses to supreme efforts to drive against each other but this will be the first time they have ever contested.
 Another feature of the affair vii be the beauty contest, ladies Of Co chise county being the only ones al lowed to enter. For some time pas residents of the Shelter City have expressed the opinion that the ladie: of that rising village surpassed il beauty the ladies of Bisbee. For this treason the steering committee has arranged for a valuable prize to bt awarded to the lady selected by the judges next Sunday as being the mos beautiful. This event promises to be the most interesting in the entire program as there are many ladies iI each city so admired that unless the judges make a very quick exit and telephone their decision they will be in danger of bodily harm. R. A. Kirk one of the committee, has taken entire charge of this event, so that every one desiring to bring forward some contestant should communicate with him. E. w. Spiers, J. s. McKeehan and W. A. Schwartz have been select ed to act as judges.
 There wifi be another feature ad ded to the program during the week making 1t without doubt the biggest
