Program Of Sports.
Beginning at o'clock, the baseball
game between LewistOwn and Moore
was played at the Brooks Island park.
The account of that contest is found
in another article. At the close of the
game, two foot races were pulled off
and aroused a lot of interest. In the

In the 100-yard dash, Cecil Boyd came

Spectacular Fireworks.
At o'clock in the evening the
fire department made spectacular
run through the city from the court
house to First avenue. AS the team
dashed down the street the half a
dozen or more firemen in the wagon
shot off fireworks of every description,
the entire spectacle presented being
a most brilliant one. Although it is
comparatively brief, for beauty and
excitement that sort of a fireworks
display could not be improved upon.
There was dancing the rest of the eve
ming at the bowery and the various
dance halls in the city, and general
summary shows that a more success

are making an excellent growth. How
ever, the straw of some of the spring
grain may be little short. Bumper

pretentious church. He finished build

Then came the rush to Rawhide and

which had on it the single word:
