pah were soon seeking dividends
very rapidly, the score piling up
from 10 to in favor of Goldfield
to II to 10 in favor of Tonopah,
and then almost indefinitely, for
home runs became so rapid that
they became commonplace and the
people preferred to seek refresh
ments up town rather than to await
the determination of the result. The
game was over at the end of the
sixth inning. The players returned
to town and to the hotel to change
their habile, but the pleasure seek
ers repaired to the club rooms of
the Elks or to the Goldfield hotel
and were there together with the
people of Goldfield given a treat
to most excellent music of the
Tonopah band. 1t was during this
concert that Goldfield became en-
vious of the possession of Tono-
pah of this one thing, if nothing
else, and when Professor CARL and
his men were finished they were
given rounds and rounds Of APP
plause, congratulated upon their eX-
cellent musical attainments and most
graciously thanked for the inesti-
mable work which they did to make
| this one of the banner days" OF
pleasure for all people that Gold
| field has ever seen. Even after the
concert was over and it was time

field defed the regulations Of the
railroad and kept the musician

give everybody a chance to hea,
the music, those who were not for
tunate enough to be at the Elks
club rooms or the Goldfield hotel
and also giving themselves an op
portunity to show their appreciation
by offering up several libations o
health and good will to their goo,
friends from Tonopah.
At the Goldfeld hotel the lobb
was turned into a dancing floor an
Sunday rules were laid aside t
give way to the pleasure seekin
people of the two towns. The man
, agement of the hotel, like everyon
else at Goldfield was extremely sc
licitous of the comfort, welfare an
+ entertainment of the visitors frol
Tonopah.
