EOREMNs ENJOY THEIR
TRIP TO AUSTIN
Three Day Celebration a Grand
Success and All Had a Good
Time

on the morning of August ID (Fri-
day. mark you). eight autos loaded
10 capacity with a happy. hopeful
crowd, started for Austin and ar.
rived there before noon after q
pleasant trip, eager for the great
three-day celebration. Each load
was received with open arms and q
hearty welcome by the Austinites.
and after partaking of a bounteous
luncheon at the Hogan and Interna.
tlonal hotels were ready for the
"doin's."
That afternoon a baseball game
between the Austin Reds and the
Smoky V~alleyites. both clubs com.
posed of Indians. was played, the
latter winning the game.
In the evening a dance was given
by the Lobster Club Band of Eureka
in the Hogan Hall, and as the neces.
sary requirements. namely, good
music. a fine floor and plenty OF
pretty girls were in evidence, the
dance was a grand success and con.
tinued until an early hour.
On Saturday morning there was
horse racing and a number of vari.
Gus distanced foot races.
The Eureka-Austin game was
played in the afternoon and Austin
took the game. The result has beer
the cause of a great deal of discus.
sion and argument, but the principaI
reasons for the result are: Better
team work by Austin, a fast ground
and some poor decisions. The first
can be eliminated by Eureka but will
take work and practice. The second
can be obtained if the people of Eu.
reka will do as the Austinites have
done. by giving active support tc
their boys and assist in helping tc
make a good diamond to work on.
The third-like the poor-is always
with us, and can be kept down but
not wholly done away with.
After the picture show that even
ing another dance was given by the
Lobster Club Band in the Interna'
national Hotel. which having the
same requisites as the dance of the
evening before. was also a success:
and a very enjoyable affair.
The ''doin's' on Sunday morning
were started by a bach" party OF
Eurekans in the Hogan Hall and de
veloped into a-well, ask Bert AGREE
he had to stop it.
Next on the programme came the
potato races. in which several Of
our boys flashed" just flashed,
that's all. Then came a girls race
after which was the squaw race. foi
which, it is rumored. that there were
some who tried to borrow the neces'
sary clothes.
In the afternoon just before going
out to the ball grounds there was q
match foot race on Main street be-
tween Bert AGREE and'a Fallon man.
the latter winning by a narrow mar
gin.
Preceding the baseball game there
was clay pigeon shoot with a tie fol
first place. w. r. Reynolds of Eu'
reka shot in A. j. M%aestretti's place
and came within one point OF the
winners.
The ball game was between the
Smoky Valleyites and the Austlr
team-each winner of a previous
game. Austin won after a harc
fight.
In the evening a fandango by the
Indians on the ball grounds was vel
attended, and afterwards, some OF
the boys took great delightin showing
their proficiency by dancing some OF
the fandango steps. OF course, they
learned them merely by observation
On Monday morning. although
most of the boys. and some OF the
girls, too, it is said, threatened tc
send home for meal tickets, the de-
parture of a tired but thoroughly
satisfied crowd was made-back &c
