VALLEY CITYITES
At the invitation of the jamestown
Rotary Club the members Of the Val
ley City Rotary Club and their ladies
went to jamestown yesterday to par
ticipate in picnic and entertainment
put on by the Rotarians Of the Stuts-
man county capital, and we want to
say that at no time and nowhere were
people more royalty entertained than
were the Valley City contingent yes
terday. Leaving here about 1880 yes
terday afternoon eleven automobile
loads of Rotarians and the ladies
headed for jamestown, and about two
miles out of that city were met by
three auto loads of the people from
there who escorted US into town, gave
us ride round their city and finally
wound up at the Gladstone hotel
where rooms had been reserved for the
ladies'. After brief rest the whole.
party were taken to the beautiful
park-and it is a beauty-and for sew
eral hours a carnival Of fun and frolic
was enjoyed. The jamestown Ro-
tarians had left nothing undone to
make this great day and they sue
ceeded very admirably. First in or
der came base ball game between
the two cities and up to the eighth
inning Valley City had the best Of the
score f2 to 10, then Jamestown sent
the wrecsing crew in and they just
batted Pitcher Dave Richie out Of the

to steal the game he couldn't do it
because they hit that ball so far there
were no close decisions. The upms
were fair and the Jamestown bunch
tried to give US the game, but couldn't
John Tracy and Lee Cowell on first
were the star players, Tracy only
making one error, he is whirlwind
and showed that if you ever get him
away from that bank he can 60 some,
and he did. Then came a tug of war
between the two towns between the
ladies, and both sides showed how
foxy they could be because they wrap
ped their end of the rope around
tree and the tug was draw with a
tree apiece. The tug between the
men folks was won by Valley City the
rope breaking under the strain of the
pull just as the Valley bunch were
commencing to drag the other fellows
over the line. This got US a box of
fine cigars. Then came the ladies race
for prizes, Mrs. Herman Stern win
ming first and Mrs. Frank Ployhar Sec
ond. For the Jamestown ladies Mrs.
McLain won first and we did not learn
the second winner. in the race be-
tween the winners Of the two towns
Mrs. Stern won out and captured the
championship and first prize. Captain
Theo. Henry secured first prize for
the men folks from Valley City and
we failed to get the name of the
Jamestown winner. Fruit, soft
drinks and candy were there for all in
profusion. Following the sports came
the splendid banquet served under the
trees and it was fine one. The
speakers for Valley City were G. 2.
Allen, George A. Mcfarland, D. s.
Ritchie and P. R. Trubshaw. For
Jamestown Mr.. Springer, president
of the chamber Of commerce, Mr.,
johnson and Roy Hilton were the
speakers. Songs were sung and the
jamestown boosters drafted j. B.
Meyer to lead-and he did to fare
youwell. A lottery for prizes was
pulled off during the meal and Mrs.
Meyer, Mrs. Tracy of Valley City
and Mrs. McLain of Jamestown were
the winners, all of the prizes being
good ones and useful ones. This con-
cluded the days entertainment and
the Valley City folks want to empha-
size the fact that it was royal time
all through, and to President Hilton.

er with the live wire bunch of boost
ers, is due our thanks for glorious

The day was glorious for the trip, no
happening and the bunch ar
rived home about $3.50 having had a
happy and delightful visit with our
jamestown neighbors and which has
created a warmer, brotherly feeling
between the two cities. Jamestown is
a beautiful little city, progressive and
having as fine a lot of boosters as ever
settled in one spot. We shall try to
them in the near future and
we know that they will be given
hearty welcome when they do come
and it will be pleasure to entertain
them to the best Of our ability.
