Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1907-07-11

Although the celebration was de-
void the usual explosions of gun
powder and burned hands and faces
the day was greatly enjoyed by the
citizens who remained at home to
attend the program prepared by the
band boys. The day vas an entire
success and everyone pronounced
the ALTAR entirely enjoyable and
one long 10 be remembered. There
was something doing all day long.
AT ten O'Clock the band formed at
the band hall and made a parade of
the town and marched to the fair
grounds park, Jrafnediatcly on
their arrival he wSdely advertised
ball game between tho ftleansn and
the fats was called'ana the way
they entertained the cSoWd was a
cauticny Even the principlSs seemed
TO enjoy the situation and %ent>into
the game like old veterans.
Nothing startling or sensational
occurred in the way of unusual
playing that could worry the Dudes
unless the running catch by Mont
gomery or the slab work of Solo
Bill would be brought 10 notice.
The game furnished lots of fun
and many were heard to cxclaim
that il was the most entertaining
game Of the season and we agree
with them on that point. A re-
turn game for $1,000 side is be-
ing arranged for during fair week
and should the arrangements be
made number of the Dude who
participated in that Sunday game
at Boise will. be signed to
strengthen some of the weak holes
in the line up.
At the close of the fifth inning
the score stood 10 to / in favor of
the leans and owing to darkness the
game was called off for week.
Alter the game the appetites of
the bleachers and fans who had
SO recently witnessed the total anni-
hilation of the fats, repaired to the
dining hall and we're served with
roast OK with the usual accompani-
, ments necessary at such feast.
Every one enjoyed the dinner. Not
only because of the novelty OF eating
a roasted OK but because everything
was good and seemed to satisfy the
inner cravings of the hungry
guests. During the feast the band
played several selections and re-
ccived well merited applause. AT
the close OF the dinner hour the
crowd returned to the grand stand
TO watch the races which were to
be one of the features OF the day.

In the evening the dance attrac-
ted a large number who whilcd
away the closing hours OF Independ-
ence day in tripping the light fam
tastic. The music was furnished
by the new Giant Phonograph and
gave entire satisfaction.
Although the crowd was smaller
than was anticipated, still the band
realized a comfortable sum which
will be used to purchase a new
SET of uniforms. When equipped
with this new uniform the band
will not only surpass all other
tands in the state in point OF mu-
sical ability, but also in appear
ance. Mountain Home has band
of which every citizen may feel
proud. More real professional nu-
