SECOlPilC
TO HIES
The excursion and picnic given by
the Arctic Brotherhood yesterday to
Htines was an unqualified success al
though the number was no greater than
upon the previous outing of the bro
herhood to the same place. Two boats,
the Hogg and the Princess were loaded
up with men and women and biisketa of
luuco. The bouts reacbed balnea In
time to enjoy a game of ball although
the A B's did not count on the game
when they started as their team was
not Glied out. "Aunyhow" as Dooley
would say, the game was played to the
great sorrow and distress of the A. Bs.
They didn't have a look in. Tne mom
magnificent aggregation of rooters that
ever lined up to confute an umpln and
rattle a pitcher had little occasion to
exploit their talents and to this extent
went home unsatisfied. The score stood
at the end of the seventh inning? tho
end of the game? 7 to 1 In favor of Fort
Seward. The soldiers played a sharp
and business-like game and the A B's
didn't. For the rest the picnickers en
joyed perfoct weather and a delightful
time.
COMMITTEE MEETING
The various 4th of July committees
are requested to meet in joint session
at the city hall, Monday evening at 7:30.

TRAIN LOAD FOR WHITEHORSE
There was a big time this morning
as the train load of travelers toward
the north left the station. Fir* oars
were crowded with men and women
who Lave, most of them, been waiting
days for the signal that it wu time to
hurry to catch the first, ooat down the
the river. That signal was given on
Saturday In the announcement that the
steamer Whitehorse would sail this
evening upon the arrival of the train.
The announcement was "counting
without the host," as the saying: 1*.
The water failed to meet expectations
In the river and the boat will not sail,
at least until morning. There are
but fifteen Inchea of water In the chan
nel according; to this morning's report,
ani 24 Inches are needed. However,
the crowd was hopeful, and happy In
getting under war again. Three cars
were fllltd with Guggenheim employes
among whom were several singers who
entertained the crowd at the station
with "Loch Lomond" and other Scotch
aongs. As the train pulled out it was
given a hearty send off.
