Douglas, Wyo., July 2S.-The state
usual arrangements this year to have
the different towns in Wyoming rep
resented in other ways than at the
exhibition stalls or in the show ring.
Ball Games Each Day.
On the morning of each day of the
fair the commissioners r now plan
ming a baseball game, with a prize
of $3.50 for the winner of the series,
with 500 for the second prize. The
teams of Douglas and Casper, long
rivals, will be matched and the com
mittee will also be glad to receive the
entries of other teams which can be
on hand during one of the days of the
fair.
lnterCity Foot Race.
An %inter-city relay race, on foot,
along the lines of the recent thousand
mile Y. NJ. C. A. run from New York
to Chicago, will also be a feature.
The committee will put up a big purse
for the winners of the race, which
will only be half a mile, each runner
covering 900 yards. The teams will
consist of four men, and it is planned
TO have every town within easy dis
lance of Douglas, whether in Wyo-
ming or outside the state, send a team
of four runners to the fair for this
race.
Viii Display Good Purse.
A large number of entries are al
ticipated, and the purses which the
committee will hang up will be well

is that every ball team which VIII
play at Douglas will enter a relay
team in the race, and as many other
towns may enter as care to-,

The immense crowds to arrive in
Douglas this year will doubtless be
larger than ever before, on account
of the many special attractions in ad'
dition to the usual fair features, and
as a precaution against o~vercrowdine
or discomfort, arrangements are be
ing made with a company to provide
accommodations for several hundred
additional visitors. The citizens Of
Douglas will, as usual, throw oper
their h%ospitable homes to help take
care of the strangers and there will
be no lack of sleeping or boarding &C
commodations, and no overcharging.
