| Next on the program was the bal,
game between Clifton and Morenci
"nicn proved to be one of the most
ieXcltlng ever pulled off by these rival
mining town teams. The results of
the frst innings brought despair to
ttne chiffon rooters, as Morenci seem
eo 10 be destined to win. However,
.ne SIX sixth inning saw some
OF Clifton, who began to bat the
leather sphere with a vengeance that
brought howls of joy from their ar
dent admirers. But the final result
was :? to in Morenci's favor. If
any inhabitant of Clifton left the
grounds in any mood other than de-
spondent, it was because prudence
mad caused him to place his finances
in the Morenci direction.
Horse Races.
The horse races were held in the
A. g ~
railway tracks, and proved highly ex-
citing to a crowd that extended
throughout the length of Hills Flat.
The race showed that the horse win
ming first prize was completely out
OF his competitors class, daylighting
them so far that second money was
the only thought of. the riders of the
others.
The COW pony races and the races
with young ladies as riders proved
of great interest
won first money, $500; Mcdowell
second, $4,000; Elrage third, $500.
In the COW pony race FrankLaverty
won first money, $4,000; second money
$1,000 went to VIM Tucker
The winner in the girls race was
Miss Gray.
One of the pleasing features of the
celebration was the liberalfty shown
by the citizens in patriotic decorating.
All over Clifton, both in the residence
and business section, there was gay
flags and bunting. The committee
on decoration made of the grounds
a riot of American flags
Indeed, the judges who decided
which of the contestants should be
given the prizes were not to be en-
We'd, for the number of beautifully
decorated houses and vehicles was
so great that to choose among them
was difficult. But after much de-
liberation, the following prizes were
awarded:
Best decorated residence. E.
Penn, $1,000. 4ssns- s-.-
Next best-Miss Alleen Await, SIS. 90.
Best decorated business houses
$500 each to Chase Creek Pool Hall
and ella Valley Rank
Best decorated vehicle. w. !
Winder, $3.50.
Next best, City Bakery, $500
Best decorated bicycle, Clyde Whit
taker, $3.50
The last of the days pleasures was
the grand ball at the Armory
North Clifton Celebrates Victory.
Mr.. and Mrs. Archie Morrison en-
tertained the members of the North |
Clifton hose team last Friday night, !
the occasion being a celebration of
the teams victory in the hose teams
contest in Hills Flat that day. The |
fire boys regarded it as peculiarly fit
ting that the Morrison home be the
scene of their celebration, as Mrs |
Morrison has been the custodian of |
the Carmichael trophy cup since it /
came into the possession of the North |
Clifton team four years ago. The
impression gained was that their de-
termination to have Mrs. Morrison
continue as keeper of this graceful |
prize was to a large extent response
BILE for the good race they ran on
Hills Flat, Independence day. Their
opinion is that thee up will become
a permanent decoration in the Morri-
son home, the contest next year to
decide whether North Clifton will
gain permanent title.
Graceful toasts were made to the
invincible North Clifton team and to
old Scotland, the native heath of Mr.
and Mrs. Morrison. Songs were we'll
rendered by Messrs. Sidebotham, Pol
lock and Goode.
Besides the team, the following
were present: Mrs. Riley, Mrs. W.
H. Chapman, Mrs. VIM. Morris, Jas.
Pollock
The time made by this team four
years ago, when the Carmichael cup
came into their possession, was 81 2-5
great difference being ;
shown in that record and the record
Friday.
