to Celebrate
FRENCHM A MS DAY
Ball Games and Other Amusements
Indulged in and Everybody Roy
ally Entertained.

Although the weather was
very unfavorable, the French
mans Day celebration at One
NEE on last Monday attracted a
goodly number of the Bottineau
people, as we'll as a large crowd
from Willow City and the towns
on the 500 Line. It is esti-
mated that there were about
800 visitors and they were well
entertained, despite the wealth
er man.
In the forenoon a game of
ball was played between the
Overly and Omemee teams
which was won by the latter,
the score being 5 to 8.
Immediately after dinner the
Bottineau and Antler teams
played for a purse of 500, and
though the wind had some
thing to do with the big score,
it. was an exciting game
from start to finish. The re-
suit was Antler 10, Bottineau
9. Batteries, Wheeler and JAR
vie for Antler; Osgood and
Kurke for Bottineau.
After this game came the
races. In the free for all COM
ers, trot or pace, Billy Bryan"
one of the horses owned by T.
F. Woods of this city, took first
money; Pilot, entered by Geo.
Perrin of Onemee, second;
and the horse owned by Chas.
Pratt of Russell, third.
In the three minute race
Navajo" owned by Or. Mont
gomery of Overly, took first
money; Skinny P" second;
and Escort Jr." third
In the pony race the horse
owned by Frank Becker of
Russell, won first place, the
McCaughna pony second and
Ed. Hollister' pony third.
During the day the Omemee
band furnished the music, and
we need not mention that it
was enjoyed by the visitors, as
that little town has always had
the reputation of having one of
the best bands. in this part of
the state.
In the evening a dance was
given at the operahouse and 81
tickets were sold. Everyone
reports a pleasant time.

pole and catching the greasy
pig" Besides these, there was
a red hot game of base ball be-
tween the Bottineau and West
