PRIZE WINNING EXHIBITS
Will Be sent TO CHICAGO

That the Harvest carnival held or
Saturday last at the National Guard
aromry had the effect of arousing great
enthusiasm among the business men
of Las Vegas, is strikingly evidenced
by the fact that in less than two
hours Saturday afternoon, Robert E.
| Wilson, industrial agent for the Santa
Fe Railway company, raised, with the
assistance of Harry W. Kelly. of
Gross-Kelly company, the sum of $500
in cash to aid in defraying the expense
of putting the magnificent display of
agricultural products, minerals, etc.,
on exhibition at the Land and Irriga-
tion exposition to be held in Chicago
next month.
Mr.. Kelly, on behalf of the Gross
Kelly company, started the subscrip-
ton with an even 800 and together
with Mr.. Wilson visited but four
other places of business, namely, the
San Miguel National Bank, the First
National Bank, the Aqua Pura com
pany and the Office of J. D. Hand. At
each of these places they secured a.
check for 800, making total Of $500.
1t was announced today that the
Charles Ilfeld company would probably
give $100.
However, this money will not suf-
fee to pay all the expenses, and a.
committee will likely make the rounds
of the stores either this afternoon or
tomorrow for the purpose of raising an
additional 5000 or more, which will be
in packing the exhibits for

displays.

runs in the opening inning, when
Summers was knocked out of the

last minute. Several times it looked
as though Mattox would be batted

Pittsburg's star with four singles in
five times at bat. Bush led the at
tack on Pitcher Mattox with four
hits. The last part of the game was
played in chilling downpour.
A leaden sky of damp air greeted
the thousands of fans who gathered
to see the third game today. The De-
