CFrom a SAD Corresnondcntl


LINCOLN, June 20 Especial THE ses-
sion Of the state Press association IS
showing more OF the spirit Of an outing
than any other previous meeting This
Is probably due TO the fact that camping
is more conducive to the pleasurable side
OF life than to the business part. How
ever, there is lots of time until next
Wednesday night to pull off what busi-
ness the association may have to transact
The evening program last night was in
the nature of music almost wholly and
was enjoyed greatly by those present
Tomorrow the day will be spent mostly
IN religious doings. Dr. F. l.. Wharton
will preach in themorning at II o'clock
and at 10 Chancellor Avery will conduct
the Sunday school assisted by several of
the editors who have had experience in
Sunday school work. The programm
being arranged about as follows:
Sunday, June p, II .O'clock-Church
services, Or, Fletcher L. Wharton, pastor
Sunday school, II o'clock
Afternoon. sacred concert

to the general public and this is the
only day that outsiders will be admitted
to the grounds.
That Base BALL Game.
This afternoon the regular program was
dispensed with there being so much in
terest in the base ball game and its prob
able outcome that no one could seem to
be interested in business Captain jim
Elliott of the North Platte club failed
to show up and Tamplin took charge. Lou
Frazier offered TO bet ten gallons Of
buttermilk against all the fish caught by
c. C. Johns that the South Platte club
would win the game. The bet was taken.
The lineup Of the clubs was as follows:
North Platte: Metzger, catcher; Tam
plin, pitcher Sweet, first base; Tanner
third base; Edgecombe., shortstop; Cross
second base; Mellor right field
South Platte: Donahue. center field
Evans, Evans, right field; Volume. left field
Schlagel. second base; Hubbard, third
base; BARLEY, catcher; Breed, pitcher
G.. c. Johns. umpire; Hitchcock and
Taylor, scorers.
Some Actual Work.
The round table discussion this fore
noon was In charge Of A. B. Wood of the
Gering Courier, and an interesting half
hour was spent In general talk on the
print shop.
Will Maupin's ldddies favored the asso-
citation with several numbers. The Maui
pin kiddies have decided talen for music
and can give an entertainment worthy the
vaudeville stage and If perchance Daddy
Bill fails to land as railway commits
sioner he still has something which will
keep his gray hairs from going down In
sorrow to the grave and the family pie
counter much better replenished than
the political counter has been for Maupin
w. w. Mailman of the Kenesaw Sun
beam read a paper on handling out OF
town advertising and w. r. Watson OF
the World-Herald talked on the general
trend OF newspapers to a higher grade
of newspaper work.
Convention Notes.
The bali game was won by the South
Platte club. by the score of 13 to II.
This afternoon the association had its
pitchers taken with Scoop the as
sociation COW, in the foreground.
A big load of cool buttermilk, with
the compliments of the Beatrice Cream
cry company came to the grounds to-
day.. and after the ball game and also
during it's progress was patronized tre-
mendously.
George Foxworthy has proved to be
the right man in the right place as
chairman of the entertainment commit
tee He Is one of the busy men on the
grounds and nobody is turned down by
Foxworthy without getting what he
wanted first
Thomas l. Hall, railway commissioner,
was the man who furnished the ten ball
bats to the winning club in the big ball
game. Mr.. Hall does not believe in let
ting his light shine or footing his own
horn, and when he made the present to
the committee he made 1t with the un-
derstanding that the name of the donor
would not be given out, but some people
can't keep secret.
The association band Is some band. \
great deal of credit is due Frank Har-
rison for pulling off the stunt of hav-
ing the editors bring their horns and
furnish the music. For a bunch of mu-
slcians which have never played before
their music is decidedly up in line with
that which used to be furnished by Prof
Gilmore, Elijah and a few other people
who have had bands of some kind oil
another.
While II has been understood that poll
ticians and other insects would not bt
permitted within the grounds and so
cial squad of Gus Hyers' deputies have
been paroling the grounds, some of then
have eluded the sleuths and have beer
seen about the enclosure But theT
Hyers is a candidate himself, and it ma!
