Little else is thought of or talked about in this town
today pave Whitehorse and what is to happen to the White
horse ball team. Our boys went over on this morning's
train to have a look at the country before the great game is
called tomorrow. The outlook is for a big excursion party
from this city. The City of Seattle, as announced in a des
patch in another column, is bringing a ball team from Ju
neau, together with some 50 excursionists. The boat will
arrive about five o'clock, in time to catch the train.
The fire lads have not decided whether or not to enter
the hcse contest. Chief Shea does not feel in physical
shape to go over but Mark Phelps and some 8 or 10 of the
boys are going and will decide when on the ground. The
hose race, by the way, according to later advices, is for 220
yards.
