The Ely business houses closed
their places Thursday and gave the
employees a chance to, celebrate.
Friday was Winton and Tower day
and almost the entire populations
of these two neighboring towns
turned out and lfraternally made
merry with the people of this city
and other visitors. The Winton
people came in on the train and
autos and Tower did likewise.
Sixteen autos arrived fir o m
Tower at about noon and hundreds
came up on the trains. The autos
returned to Tower at about II
O'Clock that night and little later
special train furnished by the
l. D. & I. R. took the balance.
Saturday another large con-
tingent from both places arrived on
autos and the cars.
The ball game was witnessed by
a standing room only crowd. Ely
had recruited team from among
the Proctor, Duluth and other visi-
tors present and a strong team
lined up against the Winton in
vincibles. Olson of Duluth did
the twirling for the locals and held
the strong batters of Winton to a
few hits. He was forced to leave
on the train at 4 O'Clock. The
game ended with score of 8 to 7
in favor of the boys wearing the
Ely uniforms. The game was en-
joyed by a large number of people
who do not attend games on Sun
day, besides the regular fans.
The fireworks exhibit on FRIDAY
evening attracted exceptionally
large crowds and were source OF
admiration. The display was
given on the hill near the old GENE
terry and lasted over an hour. The
fireworks were furnished by Geo.
A. Smith the Fireworks man OF
Duluth and were shot by
Arthur Fay assisted by Bart Jacob
son and DR.. Cerveny. The bombs,
fountains and set pieces were par
ticularly beautiful. Every num-
Der was set off according to pro-
gram and everyone seemed pleased
with the exhibit.
The Corey Bros. Coiabined shows
and wheels were the center of at
traction at all times. The shows
we're visited by many and the big
Eli wheel and merry-go-round were
crowded until late into the night.
The management Of the carnival
company was courteous and the
employees did all in their power to
make the affair as pleasant as posi-
BILE for the patrons. The Corey
Bros. are gentlemen with whom il
is pleasure to dc. business and
they were pleased with Ely al.
though their patronage was not
what it sh uld have been owing to
the large number of counter at
fractions.
Some criticisms have been heard
since the tournament regarding the
inadvisability of having a carnival
company in town. Right here we
will state that the company is what
kept people on the streets during
the odd moments and that the mer-
chants, confectionafies, restaurants
and saloons did an enormous bust
ness by reason of keeping the peo-
pie collected who otherwise would
have gone home after the aeroplane
| flights.
The Queen contest was a feature
that attracted. Four young ladies
had entered and their friends were
busy all week getting votes for their
favorities. Miss Lillian LaBeau
secured the first honors and was
awarded the diamond ring. Miss
Edith Anderson was second and
was given the handsome bracelet
watch. Miss Anna Friedsberg was
third and Miss Helen Lawrence
fourth. All the young ladies were
highly pleased with the number of
votes accorded them and wish to
express their thanks through these
columns for the consideration
shown. The gifts are of the first
class order and were purchased of
the popular jeweler, A. Savo1ainen
The dances every evening at the
pavilion held the crowds until mid
night each and every evening.
The dances certainly were popular
and as handled by the City Band
were a scource of enjoyment.
Since the popularity of the pavilion
dances was attested by the crowds
attending during the tournament,
an agitation has been started to
keep the pavilion up for the sum
mer and let the young folks of the
city have a place to meet and enjoy
themselves. There is no doubt but
what it can be done and the move
would be a popular one. The city
council can not invest a few dollars
