AQUATIC SPORTS, BALL GAME AMATEUR PLAY AND DANG
 ING ROUND OUT DAY.
Moose Defeated the Elk Bslls Club in One-slded Game After the Moose
 Got Their Eye on the Ball.

The Moose picnic occasion at Whit tington park yesterday afternoon and evening was one of the big roster of successes this popular organization has pulled off recently in its enthusi- asm to go to Kansas City strong in numbers and attempt not only to gath CT in a national convention for Hot Springs, but to land a national sani- tarium for the order here.
 The rain in the afternoon interfer- ed to a degree with the attendance in the afternoon, but the cool evening was doubly induciye, and the day ta- ken as a whole was one long to be re- membered by those who participated.
 The big surprise of the day was the manner in which the Moosers put it over the Elk ball team. The Elks have good team here, and they had won the state championship when they defeated the Little Rock Elk team in two games out of three So when the Moosers undertook with their new ball team to defeat the Elks 1t was not expected they would get far.
 The first three innings of the game resulted in blanks for both teams, and the crowd in the stand began to won der if neither team ever would score, when in the first half of the fourth inning the Moosers began to hit the ball, and landed four scores. In the sixth they added five more, and from that on the game was one-sided. The Elks put one over in the fifth, and two in the eighth, and the game re- suited 19 to in favor of the Moose.
 The aquatic sports in the Whiting ton park lake under the direction of Homer Fox of the Y NJ. c. A., brought out some splendid contests and cer- tainly some new ones and were keenly enjoyed by the few who ibraved the rain and witnessed them.

 The summer theater at the park was packed last night when the Moose concluded their days celebration Us giving what was universally consid- cred the biggest and best minstre show ever attempted by home talent
 The opening was unique. The Moose did away with the old time half-circlc and the stage was set to represent 8 cafe on roof garden. A lively med ley opened the show and when the curtain went up the members of the company were seen seated about ta bles. Quite a number of young lad ies in pretty gowns and possessing voices were in the show. The end men acted. as walters and the inter locutor was the proprietor of the rool garden.
 Each member was introduced in 2 novel way by Walter NJ Ebel, as the proprietor, and there wasn't a hitch in the show from beginning 10 end It went off from start to finish witt snap and ginger.
