The Three-Day Fourth Of July Carnival at Whitefsh
Was One of the Most Interesting Ever
Held in the County,

fish this season, md he made good far
beyond the expectations Of those who
saw him play last year. He atruck out l2
men during the game, while Roash, for
Libby, struck out the same number, al
though he was pounded all over the field,
while only two hits were made by the
Libby team. The one score for the visi-1
tors was made in the ninth inning by
Roash, who batted out three-bagger,
and came home ON sacrifice by Tillison.
Eugene Desarmo uinpired the game in
very satisfactory manner.

The Day on the Lake.
After the baseball game the crowd
went to the lake to take the ride to Point
Of Pines, where the water sports were to
be held. The trip was made by quite a
large number Of people, but there were
some disappointed ones, who could not
secure transportation on account Of mis-
haps early in the day which put the en-
gines ON two Of the boats out Of commits
sion.
The water sports were quite interesting
and furnished ample amusement until
evening.
l
The first event was q launch race, in
which three boats were entered, and re-
suited as follows: King and Blsckstock,
first; Dnval and Plymate, second; Null
I'm and Funk, third.
Rowing race, two men in boat-Den-
mis- Young, first.
Rowing race for ladies-Mrs. w. A..
Jones, first; Miss Young, second.
/ Rowing race for men, one man in boat
-. w. Paul, first; c. NJ. Matthews,
second.
Most interesting of all the various fea-
lures of the three-day carnival was the
third day, which had been given over
entirely to the japanese to make their
own arrangements as they might see tit,
and to say that their part in the cclebra.
ton was success is putting it altogether
too mildly. From. east and west, al
along the line of the Great Northern, thu
sturdy little brown men came in for thi.
day, and there were many of them Oh
hand to take part in the events of the
day, or as interested spectators. Theil
arrangements were perfect, theil
plans were well laid. and everything wen
off in manner which reflected the high
est credit upon those who had the worl
in charge. Upon all sides nothing bu
} favorable comment was heard and TIN
, highest praise is due them for the pro
gram which they carried out SO success
e fully.
The athletic events were pulled of. q
9 the baseball grounds, where a ring hat
+, been constructed, tents pitched and elab
crate decorations made. The main even
! Of the day was the wrestling tournament
: which was participated in by about 8
wrestlers. From 10 q. III. until l
, the trial bouts were held, to enable tn
management to get line upon tn
wrcstlers, so that the teams could b
matched as evenly as possible. The Jap
anese method Of wrestling differs greatl
from the American style, but is none tn
less interesting, and when once the gam
is understood it becomes sport full 9
D excitement for the spectator.
= Al l:3O p. m. the teams were selecte
and the main tournament was started
The manager Of the affair would 20 int
the ring and call upon one man fror
, each team, who would at once advanc

' begin. The wrestler who succeeded i
e flooring his opponent or putting him OF
G of the ring twice out of three trials N

}. followed for a time, and then anothe
v style would be adopted, in which q ma
Q from each side would go into the rim
' and wrestle, and when one of them wer
h down another from his team would rus
h lin and wrestle with the victor. Tn
e would be continued until all had had
# chance to wrestle, or until one of til
d wrestlers had thrown three men, whic
