Ed Burke the manager of the
Smith Drug Company is posted on
most any subject you examine him
on. The other day he received an
invitation from a bevy of pretty
girls to go on a bicycle jaunt and
had to decline because he had not
learned to master the wheel. Yes-
terday he determined to learn and
procuring a wheel repaired to the
alley back of the drug company’s
building and went at it like he was
at work. A committee was select-
ed to watch him to see that he did
not tear down the fences or knock
off the corner of the brick houses.
He commenced by tracing Bile
Beans in the sand and ended by
writing that he was the “hot stuff."
He will now respond to all invita-
tions sent him for an outing on
wheels.
Tne reporter spent the afternoon
yesterday at the park. There was
a good crowd of men and boys out
with a scattering of ladies. The
ball ground was being utilized by
the base ball club in a practice
bout. We watched this diversion
for awhile. The players were good
on batting slow balls but poor on
catching. We were told that they
were out practicing and were not
there to stop red hot liners. We
can say the team is a good looking
one got pretty red uniforms and
will put up the best game they
know how when they get down to
business and this is all we can ex-
pect or hope from them. We no-
ticed that the lake had been filled
with water again and that Mana-
ger Whitley had the flooring on
on hand to put down the dance pa-
villion floor which will be used for
the first time on Thursday night.
The members of the band were out
and we were told by them that
they would in all probability give
sacred concerts at the park during
the hot summer months each Sun-
day afternoon. A threatened
shower came up at 4:30 and many
from the city who would have visit-
ed the park were kept from doing
so. Those who were there filled the
cars full to get back to the city.
Mr. Whitley said the patronage he
received was very satisfactory and
he believed that he would do a
splendid business the coming sea-
son.
Superintendent Chas. Aikin of
Pacific Express Co. came in from
New Orleans yesterday. Sorry to
see him suffering from a broken leg
done accidentally in the “Cfescent
City” about two weeks since.
Our city editor was taken quite
sick with something like plurisy
about noon and could not return to
his desk this afternoon. Trust he
will be all right by tomorrow.
Glad to hear that Mr. R. C.
Bruce is improving.
