THE FOURTH IN MINOT

While Minot did not make any pre-,
tentions of Fourth Of July celebra,
ton, with the exception OF the races,
there was a very large crowd in this
city last Saturday and they certainly
had good time.
| lMinot Is an ideal place to spend the
Fourth, whether there Is a genuine
celebration or not. The races, of
course, were excellent, and those who
spent the afternoon at the track,
We're well repaid for their trouble.
The day was just right for the
sport, and no larger crowd ever was
present at the races before.
In the forenoon, large crowd wit
messed the base ball game between
Minot and Estevan, Canada. This was
the best game played here this year,
and resulted in victory for Minot,
to the tune of 4 to 0. Vandenover
pitched the game Of his life, striking
out ten men, and gave the Canucks
only one safe hit. He had the best
kind # support, the field work Of
Palmer and the fast work OF Moon on
first. being worthy of mention. The
Mdnot boys did not make single err
ror, and there was but one error
made by the Canucks.
The game the evening before be-
tween these two teams, resulted in
victory for the Fstevan team, 4 to 2,
Mipot played In poor luck duling the
game, driving the balls right into the
hands of our Canadian friends.
In the evening, the third game be-

ltween these two teams was played,
and 1t proved to be very exciting
affair, Allen pitched the game in the
|evening, Minot winning with score
of 8 to A.
Wild Wood park, a mile west OF the
city, was the scene of merry
throng all day and evening long. The
crowds went out every old way. Some
walked, others drove, some went in
autos, but many went in the gasoline
launches. three OF which were kept
busy all day long. A ride up the river
five miles and back for quarter is
something heretofore unheard Of, and
hundreds Toasted their eyes on the
beautiful scenery along Moust river.
The river is so crooked that you go
five miles in boat, and you are only
mile from the city when you ar
rive at your destination.
Wild wood park was indeed mer-
ry place. Hundreds enjoyed the bow
cry dance, others bathed, or rested
in the hammocks under the beautiful
trees.
In the evening, iMinot's two vaude-
vile shows were we'll patronized.
Such a show for fifteen cents. We
have an opportunity of seeing the
best vaudeville artists that the coun-
try affords, the latest moving pic
lures, and illustrated songs.
In the evening, the whole city was
ablaze with fire works. Who would
care to spend a more pleasant
Fourth?
