Blue Earth Autoists See Mankato


Members of the Blue Earth Auto
mobile club enjoyed a very pleasant
tour to Mankato today, and held a
plcinc dinner at Sibley park. The par
ty occupying about twenty five cars,
left Blue Earth shortly after nine
o'clock this morning, and were met
upon arrival here by committee of
the Mankato Automobile club and es-
corted to the picnic grounds at the
park, where the picnic dinner was
served from lunch baskets brought
by the tourists, the Mankato club
furnishing coffee. The visitors de-
parted for their homes during the late
afternoon, having spent very pleas
ant day. Mankato is always glad to
welcome outside tourists, and it is
hoped that more outside tourist par
ties will avail themselves of the OPP
portunity of motoring to the city this
summer.

Big Ball Game Sunday
Circle VS.. Watkins

Circle now has a ball team and
promises to be the best nine Circle
has ever had. The boys were out
on the diamond last Sunday and
sort of practiced up, and with a
little more practice will be able to
take on any team in the valley.
D. L. Eastburn has been chosen
to act as manager and we are in
formed that the first game of the
season will be played on the local
diamond Sunday between Circle
and Watkins, which will no doubt
be good hot game.
Everybody come out and root"
for the boys and help them win the
game.
