LABOR DAY.
The Day FlttInRIy Observed Under
the Auspices Of Yerington Aeris
No. 1895, r. o. z.

A large number of people assembled
in Yerington last Monday to celebrate
Labor Day in fitting manner. Ample
preparations had been made by the Yer
ington Aerie No. 1896, f. o. E., to care
for the crowd and to entertain all, not
only during the day, but with a grand
ball in the evening as we'll.
Much interest centered on the drilling
contest, and the event was warmly con-
tested. The double-jack drilling CON
test was won by Clark and partner ovei
Brannan and Dexheimer after close
and exciting contest, while the single
was won by Clark over E. Talleur by a
close margin. There was intense in
terest manifested by the crowd during
both these contests, and much good
humored raillery was directed toward
the contestants.
The fat mans race was won by w. ].
Simpson, though hotly contested by sew
eral others, among whom was l.. F.
Weber. who made great showing in a
like event on the Fourth, and AL. Requa.
THE BALL GAMR
The most interesting event OF the day,
however, and the one looked forward to
with anxiety by all the Yerington fans.
was the ball game. Our boys knew that
they had to do some fine ball playing to
win from the Dayton team. and they
rose to the occasion aud did it. Every
ball player who saw the game and every
fan and rooter-Dayton partisan and
Yerington partisan alike--sa it was the
best game and the fastest ball playing
ever seen in this part of the country.
johnson pitched fine game for Yer
ington, being credited on the score book
with having struck out twelve men. The
catching on both sides was gilt edge and
the support of the batteries all that
could be asked. Little for Dayton was
in the professional class with his pitch
ing also, retiring nine men during the
game. eH MI
II took ten innings to decide the game,
Dayton making squirt in the 9th in
ming and running in three tallies. tieing
the score. 1t was nip and tuck in the
10th. Dayton failing to score In her half
OF the inning and A. West sliding home
for Yerington in her half of the inning
with two men down. 1t is record the
boys will remember.
The roofing was energetic but good
natured all though, and the Dayton boys
are all right, for they are as good losers
as they are winners. and when a nine
both loses and wins without going 'out
of their heads" in either case, they are
all right all through.

A GRAND BALL At NIGHT.
The enjoyments of the day were ended
by grand ball at Owl Hall which lasted
until we'll into the early morning hours
of the next day. The attendance was
very large and every one entered into
the spirit of the occasion as they should
and helped to increase the enjoyment OF
all and to make the close of a successful
celebration as successful as the events
that had preceded it.
It was pleasant time all through,
unmarried by accidents or trouble, and
reflected credit upon those who had the
management of the various events. and
the entire celebration.
