In heartfelt appreciation the Herald
is authorized on all sides and by ey-
cry citizen of Havre to send back an
other greeting of thankfulness for
its assistance in making the Eagle
convention the success it was. IL
would be useless to print the names
Of horored visitors Who SO sDlcndidly
assisted the growing spirit of congen-
sality and sodality among the cities OF
Northern Montana. All Chinook and
many of her brethren and sisters from
Harlem, Malta, Saco, Glasgow, Gull
bertson and other cities to the east
ward-was here ednesday-Chinook
day, as especially fixed on the Fro
gram. Many of the visitors stayed oy-
er to assist in the gaities of Thurs
day. All Of them Went away cheering
for Havre. Arrangements for their
entertainment the Chinook folk, to
man, woman and child declared was
perfect-by the Eagles superb organ
ization for the day and by the able
assistance accorded by Havre citi-
zens as whole Hayre expects this
fall to respond to tnat good cheer
and il the same hearty manner when
the second annual county fair is held
at our neighbor city.

In the Pu@iIistic World

| Folk who like the pugilistic game
We're on hand at the Montana Concert
hall almost to it's capacity Wednes-
day night to witness boxing contest
between Tommy Reilly, now Of Havre
and Tom Kinsley, of Denver, which
was scheduled to go twenty rounds.
1t was a rattling mill, but it ended
in the fifth by knockout of kins-
ley.
A blow to the stomach and an up
per cut to thejaw did the business.
Reilly was in better form than he
has ever before appeared in the Havre
ring. Kinlsey was in equally good
form, but though he twice STAYED off
Reilly before to a twenty round draw,
he had scarcely look-in in the We'd
nesday nights fight.
There is no need of a description
of the fight by rounds. Except that
for a few notable rallies by Kinsley,
the bout was all Rcilly's from start to
finish.
Tom Reilly left Thursday night
for Great Falls. Tom Kinsley left for
Wyoming where he anticipates an ear
ly date. This was the first time Kins-
ley had been compelled to take the
count.

Two Base Ball Games

| Baseball events during convention
week have been too fast and furious
for the Havre press to keep up with,
along with other laDors. The new
Amusement Park team of Havre won
each game in which it was entered.
The more notable of these was wher
the Fort Benton team got it's lick
ing on the farewell day by the score
of 20 to 2 in a game of four innings
for Havre and five for the visitors. In
this game Ezra Crane, first baseman,
captain and catcher let the ball break
his finger while behind the bat in the
third inning. Tho team was disheart-
ened by the injury that put its reg
ular captain outof the game and made
no further showing despite the spirit
ed encouragement of Manager C. w.
Morrison from the side lines.
The Havre players voted all the
Fort Benton fellows tip-top in every
way except that they allowed HaYre
to SO easily beat them. .
Everybody was agreeable about de-
cisions. ns
The Havre lineup was: Charles
Yeingst. catcher and captain; Emer-
son Atchison, pitcher; Ed Adams, first
base; Larry Ling, second base; V. @.
Hicks, third base; Mccormack, short
stop; William Tolloston, left; j.
Reilly, right; William Nixon, center.

came to help out Havre's convention

spark attractions, two ball games and
many impromptu sporting contests
went to make up the merriment of tht
gladstone days.
The Wednesday evening parade, I'M
der the marshallship Of W. B. Pyper,
probably surpassed in stirringness
anything that Havre has before had
chance to witness, particularly in the
matter Of pyrotechnics Tt was be-
yond question, one Of the largest ever
seen in Havre or North Montana be
ing divided into four divisions, each
led by a band. Many Of the delega-
tions had novel costumes, the Great
Falls team being particularly notable
with their fancy dress and hats rep
resenting brick smokestacks. Twenty
four huge powder salutes were dis
charged during the progress of the
parade. through the principal streets
OF the city. Every delegate was sup
piled by rapid attendants with roman
candles and various other devices Of
fireworks and with cannon crackers
galore.
For real noise Havre neverRbcfore
knew such night.
Helena, perhaps more than any 9TH
er delegation won the thanks Of the
Eagles brotherhood, by the splendid
representation made by it's drill team
on the floor of the opera house. The
drill team numbered tWenty-seven
and won a prize Of $3.50.
