The Business Mems League Pic
mic on the 4th was largely attend
ed, and the results were very sat-
isfactory. All the refreshment
stands did a land office business
and the dancing platform was well
patronized. The Horse Show was
enlivened by many entries, and
the base ball contest for the $50
was hotly contested, Bis
marck defeating Frankclay by the
close score of Is to 12. 1t was a
day and the deep dust that
covered thoroughfare and field did
not conduce to comfort. Never
theless, as all were bent on having
9 good time, they had it. No I'M

duct marred the pleasure of the
crowd. "A little more than 5000
