| or. Alter the horse was caught tue boy was again placed on him, and when close to the outcome the horse flew the track and fell in the crowd lining the way. Young Bonelli was thrown heavily, and was severely in- iured, his shoulder blade being bro ken and he was badly shaken up. After the horse races many minor sports were brought off in the streets, the small boy having fun to his hearts content.
 A band concert filled out the day.
 The morning of the fifth minor sports, such as nail driving contests, boys and girls races, burro races, watermelon eating contest, pie eating contests, and other sports. The nail driving contest was won by Sylvia Whitman. Tue pie eating contest was won by Bert Coffee, who is said to have one of the greatest apOetites for pie on record. One of the best features was a watermelon eating con- test by some of the big chiefs of the Wallapai, Supai and Mohave tribes of Indians. That the Indians enjoyed this contest is certainty and was ex- pressed on their faces when they dived into the depII- n' luscious melon.
 h the matter oi the baby show: the judges were unable to agree on the best looking baby, as all the babies looked good to them and they have concluded to give each one of the babes a souvenir spoon, ,commemOl a ive of the occasion. We have always known that Kingman held the banner on good looking babies, but thought it was possible to select one that might stand forth as the prettiest babe in all creation, but when the judges passed around through the exhibit at the grandstand and on the streets the more babies they saw the more they were mystified.
 The afternoon of the fifth brought out the fans in great number, as the game scheduled for the day was be- tween the Kingman nine and the win hing Goldroad clubs. Before the game began there was some haggling over the batteries to be played, but this feature was finally settled up and the game was on. The score was quite high and several pitchers were used by the teams. Owing to a sore arm the Goldroad team was unable to pitch King. Not until the last of the ninth was interest in the outcome of the game allayed, the Kingman team mak- ing the winning tally in their half of the inning. The score stood: King man 12; Goldroad II.
 After the game there was some bronco busting stunts before the grand stand. Logan Morris of Yavapai coun- ty won the purse, although the specta- tors believed that one of the other con- testants gave the better exhibition of staying with an outlaw horse.
 Frank Kayser won out over four contestants in the relay race. His changes won the applause of all the spectators, as he cinched his saddle while on the full run.
 In the streets the miscellaneous sports again on after the crowd got back from the ball park, and these were followed by the band concert.
 The band played good music during the days of the celebration and re- ceived many compliments on the musi- cal showing of an all Kingman band.
 The carnival feeling of the crowd was not satisfied by three days of fun and on the afternoon of the sixth a ball game between Kingman and Needles was scheduled at the park More than two hundred people paid for seats in the grand stand and fully one thousand were behind the screens and in vehicles watching the outcome of the game. The game was a we'll contested affair, but the Needles won by the score of to 3. Lack of team work was responsible for the loss of the game, but the home boys played rather consistent ball, althought they failed to back up the good work of the battery.
 That the celebration was the success that it was is due to the work of the committees in charge of the sports and the hustling qualities of the men in charge of the financial end. More the building of the grand stand and the purses and other necessary expense
