The hotel is very popular with the traveling public, A meeting of the local committee will be held at the council chambzrs tomorrow (Sunday) evening at 7| o’clock, for the purpose of making further arrangements for the Fourth and appointing a committee to go to Brainerd and arrange for the band and ball team and large crowd that will undoubtedly come to Bemidji on the announcement of the judges, it being the universal verdict of those who witnessed the race that Pierte had won, by several inches. However, the judges stuck to their decision and called off all bets. It is said that Thomas came to Pierte after the race.and told the latter that he (Pierte) was the fast- est man he had ever met. _There were no further races on the program and the balance of the day was spent by the firemen in hav- ing a general good time until the train departed for the north taking home the Grand Rapids and Cass i Dance at City Hall. e % them Borden and Zeno the eccentric [ladder and hose race, the wet test | Lake teams. day. s . .

Fine Show in Comfortable Theater. “Early and Late,” the vaudeville team at the Brinkman Family Thea- ter this week, have won a warm spot in the hearts of the people of Bemidji. They have been doing some very clever work and praise of them is unstinted. The crowds at the Brinkman are simply wild over them. The new change of film on the moving pictures have made a hit, the pictures being new and novel and very interesting, causing exclaima” tions of “oh, my,” when they are thrown on the canvas. They are certainly very fine. The illustrated song is one of the very best ever put on at this popular amusement house, where the com- fort of patrons is especially looked after by the management. Go to the Brinkman Family Theater if you want to see a fine show, where it is cool and comfort- able. and odd sizes.

The race was won by Clyde Pierte of Park Rapids, with Edward Thomas of Ely second. The time for the 100 yards was annotinced at 10 1-5 seconds. There was considerable dispute as to the respective ability of Pierte and Thomas, with the result that another race was arranged, for 100 yards for a side bet of $50. The two sprinters got away on even terms, and it was a gruelling run, all the way. The men crossed the tape so close together that the two judges announced that the result was a tie. There was a storm of protest at Grand Rapids on the east and Foss- ton on the west. The forming of the proposed association was left to the consideration of a meeting of the departments interested, to be called sometime in the early fall, ind to be held, probably in Bemidii, The name of the association would be the North-Central Minnesota Firemen’s association. Byrox’l Knapp, as president, and J. D. Haradon, as secretary, of the old association, will hold their present positions until their suc- cessors are elected at the fall meet- ing. It is believed that the new organi- zation would have as members the Bemidji, Cass Lake, Grand Rapids, Park Rapids, Akeley, Blackduck, International Falls, and possibly Fosston and McIntosh firemen. Will Play: International Falls. The members of the Cass Lake baseball team came over from the “Lake” yesterday afternoon and went to International Falls last evening, where they were scheduled to play two games against the “Falls” morrow. Lyons and T. Wakanaba (Indians) were to be the battery for Cass Lake today, and the remainder of the team were to play as follows: Grady 1b, Neils 2b, Phelps 3b, team—one today and another to-; Lydick ss, J. Wakanaba rf, Theri- cf, Oman If. In tomorrow’s game, Gene Grady, the giant twirler for Cass Lake, will be on the “mound,” with Oman behind the bat, and it is expected that the big fellow, if everything is working smoothly for him, will hold the boundary players down to a very few hits. He has a world of speed, and fine curves, when they “break” right. Local news on fast page. Will give a hear some fine music.
