Down I'm the lovely MGtzelburG forest

certain day, a splendid stag appears
in a corner OF this green expanse. Just
three times has the prince fired upon

missed him. To the prince, therefore ne
is the Phantom Stag. Thus IS humiIi-
ating fact metamorphosed into a divert

In Scotland. To an unparalleled mind, II
would seem that the chief sport in Scot
land is filtration, not grouse hunting. The
readers only regret is that the author
does not enlarge upon the meagre details
given.
The Crown Prince inclines to the opin-
ion that these hunting trips bring him
into closer communion with his Creator
1t is curious that so much carnage, so
much that is wanton and cruel, should
have wrought itself into so warped and
twisted a conclusion. No, the prince is
wrong. 1t is the contemplation Of great
things-the free sky, the tumultuous
wooded life, the glory Of morning and
evening-that have transformed the man
into wondering child again. The prince
has only relearned what every farmer boy
knows when he takes his way into the
shadows of a quiet forest.

Wednesday June 10Th, is Lanqdon's
Market Day. A big free days amuse-
ment for everybody.

At the celebration of the Fourth of
July to be held at Walhalla-now only
three more weeks away-Langdon will
play series Of games with the Cavalier
team at that place. Cavalier is the new
county seat town of Pembina county
and the contest between the two county
seat towns at the "Halla" on the Fourth
should prove one of the biggest event in
the days celebration.
Langdon's team is arranging and has.
probably closed at the the time we 20
to press for double header of games
on the home diamond for Wednesday
of next week Market Day, the visitors
on which occasion will be either Wales
or Munich, There will be two it not,
three visiting teams here to play Lang
don next week and the local aegrega-
ton may be depended on to make !,
showing that will be to Langdon's credit
on each occasion.
Thursday last week Munich was the.
visiting team in a double header, of
games on the local grounds in which
the pitching of Menzel and Drury was
too much for Munich, glaring errors lost
the afternoon game to the visitors by a
score of l2 to 0. In the evening they
rallied and made big effort to divide
the honors, but the best they we're able
to show on the score board was the tail
end of 10 to 8 The tallies made by the
home team showed a triple, several two
base hits and countless short drives that
we're safe on first. Munich was soaked
but say the county seat won't have it so
easy next time.
In the game which Langdon played
over at Sarles last Friday, it was only
a seven inning affair instead of double
header as expected, Langdon easily won
d shut out. Monnett was in the box
and struck out fourteen of the Sarles
team in the seven innings and only
allowed them two hits which we're
safely tielded by his support. The "big
fellow" also gave fine account of him
self at the bat and did his share to
pile up the agony for Sarles, aggregation
of gilt edge players. In the earlier part
of the game Langdon had to ask for and
/ was given a change of ,umpires as it
was nakedly plain that with his Jumps"
Sarles was bent on beg borrow or steal
ing the game when they found they
couldn't win it

Langdon's kid base ball aggregation
was up the line Saturday between
trains and brought back with them the
big end of score of 8 to in short
inning game played with the Dresden
juniors.
Manager Galnsforth of the Langdon
ball team has negotiations pending for
a game soon with Park River, which
should prove quite drawing card as
the Park River line up is supposed to
include several semi professionals who
have lately been given try out IN the
league team at the Forks.
Yesterday, June 18th was the date
set for Sarles to play it's return series OF
games with Langdon, but when our boys
were over there last Saturday the date
of their coming here was set over until
July 10th. Several of the Sarles
bunch have 10 attend court and
will bring a crowd of rooters along
In the meantime, since the affair of
last Saturday, it is also quite likely that
Sarles will put IN some of the spare time
in strengthening its lineup.

Tuesday of next week Billy Bennetts,
Big Shows will be in Langdon for one

visit to the city the Bennett shows are
billed to present that monster hippo
dramatic spectacle, entitled adam to
Columbus" which in dramatic circles is
conceded thes eighth wonder of the
world. They will have one hundred men,
women and children in the cast, with
music during the concert and between
acts by their magnificent band. The
piece includes in its make up and pre-
sentation acrobats of the highest class:
troupe of famous funny clowns. The
show carries with it this season a train
load of double length cars and their own
engine and the grand free street pagent
at noon is something that will speak for
the character of this big genuine first
class attraction. The Bennett shows
have visited Langdon On several oc-
casions during the past few years, each
time giving entire satisfaction to large
crowds who attend. Last summer
they will be recalled as having been
here during the county fair.
