EVERYBODY HAD GOOD TIME
Eureka's Celebration Holds visi-
tors From Early Friday
Morning Until Sunday
Afternoon

ttO vi
our National holiday this year
passed off well considering the time
and labor spent in the preparations.
Our visitors from all sections were
unanimous in their praise of our eff
forts to entertain them and expressed
themselves as being glad they had
joined us-that Eureka always made
good in giving them a good time.
the winners of the games and
contests Friday and Saturday are
published below.
The Rescue Hose Company's an
nual ball at the Eureka Theatre
drew a banner attendance, and with
music by the Lobster Club Band af-
forded a full measure of pleasure to
all participants on the night of the
Fourth.
The four photo plays presented at
the Eureka Theatre were most en-
joyable, especially to those who are
only able to see the pictures at hoIi-
day periods. Two social dances by
the management followed the shows.
and we're largely attended and en-
joyed.
The bronco busting contest for a
prize of $50 on the morning of the
Fourth drew a large crowd to the
south end of town, and the riders,
Elmer Hylton and Jack Burns. gave
a good exhibition of rough riding.
The prize was divided between them.
In the afternoon the ball game be-
tween the Eureka and Austin clubs
at the ball grounds south of town
drew all Eureka and its visitors to
witness the game. The Austin club
was unable to bring all its regular
team over. and as Eureka put a
strong club on the field, the latter
just romped away from the visitors.
AS the score at the end of the sixth
inning stood Is to 3 in favor of Eu-
reka, and the Austin boys saw no
chance of winning, they asked that
the game be called. promising to
make a better showing when the Eu-
reka club came to Austin this Fall to
play a return match.
The contests we're continued Satur-
day and started off that morning with
