Mena Wins and Loses.

Friday, the 18th of August, the day of all days in Mena the Mena boys dropped the first game of a fast double header to 0. Errors cost Mena the game. though it must be conceded that Foust pitched beautiful game for DeQueen.
 DeQueen scored in the third when the whole Mena team ran in and tan gled on short infield fly. which Rich ards dropped, followed by wild throw in which DeQueen sent man over the pan. Then again in the 9th by a bum clinch to second and a long throw from center to home, which was decidedly too long, and missed it nigh twenty feet, DeQueen sent an- other over.
 Mena came near scoring in their half of the 9th when they had three men on bases and two down. Harris threw wild to third; but the eminent third sacker was we'll backed by Wal lace, who threw Moore out at the plate. thus ending the game.
 The score:

 SECOND GAME.
 Maddened by the loss of the first game Mena proceeded to give De- Queen whitewashine.
 Miller, who pitched the second game for Mena, had the DeQueen 'eoat' from the start--his twisters made such benders out of the huskies from the peach district. whom his lordship made take the count nine times, thus piling up his strikeout record.
 Mena knocked Downs out of the box in the third round, who was relieved by Faustswho got his.
 The beauty part of the subject hap pened in the eighth when Gene Pau lett, the Little Rock college star, who has been putting up brilliant game in the receiving end for Mena, lifted it over the fence for four cushions, a stunt which he is often guilty of doing. On the whole the last game was one of the best ever seen on Polk county diamond.
 It is naturally supposed that Cap tain Hay knocked the pep" box over after dropping the first. for Mena played the game of all games. the game that always wins.

Friday, August l9, IJlO, the 14th anniversary cf the founding of Mena, was the third and greatest day of the Fourteenth Annual Fair and Celebration.
 In honor of the day all but two or three business houses of the city closed their doors. and the thousands of citizens mingled with the thou sands of visitors from all over Polk and adjoining counties in making it & real gala day. Among the crowds were many who came from other states, and these. more than all marveledF at what they saw-the fine proddcts of farm, garden, or chard, etc, grown in this land of mountain and valley.
 About o'clock the gates were thrown open to the grandstand and race track and the fine horses were brought out, The principal event in this class was the match race be- tween Alice Daw. Oscar Bush's fine trotter. and Frank w., !. A. Thorn tons pacer. Alice had the best of the argument,
 Following this Attorney General Hal L. Norwood made an address, which in part is printed elsewhere.
 Then the horses, mules and colts of all classes were brought in for judging, which took up the time un- til noon.
 In the afternoon the roping con test led the program. followed by two of the finest ball games eyer played in Mena, between De Queen team and the Merchants team of this city. Mena losing the first and winning the second.
 In the evening a good sized crowd saw show put on by troupe of dancers and singers from Jonesboro, aided by Elmer Beard. the contor- tionist.
 Saturday Morning.
 The amusement features Saturday morning were of comparatively light, order, though they furnished considerable amusement.
 A bicycle race of one-third mile for men was ridden. Roy Tate win ming n 26 seconds, with Sam Cole of Jonesboro second.
 The boys race was between Har- " Ball and Arthur Hall, winning in the order named in 57 seconds.
 Then came the mule race, in which there was about a dozen entries. All but two left the track and start ed cross lots before they made the circle of the track. Frank Wimber- ly on a big black made a good run and came in first. closely followed by Zeke Bavis, who takes second money.
 The bronco-busting, which fol- lowed was largely mule-busting, and iii each case Jack Jack Fretz the buster, was the hero, riding two buckers without bridle, and the last bare back.
 The main feature this afternoon was the ball game, which will decide whether De Queen goes home with an even score, or with but one game In four.
 Social Events.
 With the many visitors in the city the social affairs large and small have been very numerous. The homes without guests are the ex- ception and many a gathering of friends have added to the pleasure of the celebation. The principle public social gatherings were the dances at tine Davis opera house and at the Elks home.
 On Wednesday and Friday nights a good crowd of young people en- joyed dancing at the opera house and Thursday night the Elks enter tained with cards and dancing.
