tory. The heavy rains of the first
day Of the celebration prevented
the carrying out Of any part of
the program, but as soon as the
weather cleared on Wednesday the
18th the celebration was in full
swing. Horse races, foot races,
ball games, and many other amuse-
ments all contributed toward keep
ing the enormous crowd which had
gathered here on that day occupied
and busy looking at something all
the time. The celebration this
year boosted nearly every kind of
amusement known, from buckirg
bronchos to flying machines. The
flying circus engaged for the oc
casion carried out their part of the
program on both days of the cele'
bration despite the bad weather
conditions, and the daredevil
stunts of pilot Jack Mahlone, and
which included summersaults, tail
spins, nose dives, ETC.. caused
many expressions from the crowd
which reflected great credit on
Mr.. Mahlone as an air plane
driver. Mr.. Windsor Hit, of
the British Flying Corps during
the late World war, whose aero
batic feats If walking on the wings
of the plane, hanging by his knees
from the wings, etc, while the
machine was thousands of feet in
the air, wrung great admiration
from the crowds below. 49,.
The Indian dance was as usual a
great attraction for those from
other than local points. This
feature Of the celebration each
year never fails to excite great
interest in all who attend, as there
is something about the Indian
dressed in his feathers and other
dance regalia, and daubed with
war paint, that seems to fascinate
the onlookers and hold their at.
tention indi6nately. Owing to the
failure of the members of the Red
Lake reservation to attend this
year and also the Sioux who failed
to put in an appearance, the In
dian dance was small in compari:
son to what usually is, nevertheless
there were enough dancers present
to keep it going and hold the at
tention of the spectators.
Those who attended the celebra'
ton on the 18th were afforded an
opportunity of witnessing one of
the best ball games played in this
section for a long time. The game
was between Fosston and Fertile,
two of the fastest teams in the
northwest, both of these teams are
composed largely of Indian play
ers, several of whom are White
Earth boys. 1t was the boast Of
the Fosston team that they had
not been beat yet this season, but
they we're compelled to haul down
their colors at the game here how
ever for they suffered defeat al
hands of the Fertile team. The
score was 8 to 2, 1t "was the in.
tention to. have these two teams
play two games here, but owing tc
the fact that it rained again on the
night of toe 18th it was feared
| that the attendance would be very
light on account IF the condition
OF the roads and the SECOND game
was called off. y
| The celebration this year was il
1 vivid CONTRAST to the simple cere'
mony which marked this event
many years ago, when it was con
fined to a big picnic and socia
gathering alone. It has gradually
