In company with J. B. Harris, j yy
J. N. Baylor and G. L. Blanch- j #
ard, The Times representative, ^
attended the barbecue at Hoch-1
heim bridge on Friday the 12th.
On reaching the grounds there
was found an immense crowd
present, which was steadily in- Y
creased until a conservative esti-
mate would place the number
present at 2000. There was plenty
to eat for everybody and if they
did not take advantage of the
opportunity offered it was their
own fault.
The barbecue was excellent
and in all appointments the affair
was a success, the following com-
mittee of arrangements leaving
nothing to be desired in the way
of entertainment provided :
Managers—H. E. Smith, chair-
man ; W. D. Tally, R. B. Mc-
Caskill, Benj. Power.

n<H. Newt Wins-
tialletsville vs. Yoakum.
One of the most interesting
and exciting games of the season
was pulled off Sunday afternoon,
the grand stand having a nice
complement of fair ones enjoy-
ing the sight of rival teams en-
gaged for diamond supremacy.
The game was called about 5
o’clock, the umpire, Will Toland,
announcing the batteries, Kuy-
kendall and Strunk, Youngkin
each brilliant play by either team.
Good feeling prevailed on both
sides, though Halletsville’s de-
feat was a crusher to their sup-
porters.

Saloon Closing hiatus Settled.
The saloons in Yoakum have
all opened their doors and are
doing business; acting on the
decision of Judge Brooks of the
Criminal Court of Appeals. Obe-
dient to the letter of the law,
without an exception they closed
iheir doors; and until they club*
bed together and bought a cask
or keg of beer, it was the dryest
place In Yoakum one could see
on earth. Judge Brooks knocked
out Attorney General Pollard’s
decision completely, holding that
the old license holds good until
the new license is procured.
Philadelphia, Pa., July 14.—
Members of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks swarm-
ed in this city tonight and the
streets are filled with visitors.
Upward of 20,000 Elks have en-
rolled their names at the official
registration bureau since Satur-
day. During the day delegations
from Mobile, Atlanta,Waco,Tex..
Florence, S. 0., Santa Fe, N.
M., and New York arrived and
each train brings additional de-
legations.
The convention will formally
open tomorrow night when the
visitors will be welcomed by
Mayor Reyburn. The first grand
lodge business session will open
on Tuesday at 11 o’clock. Other
sessions will be held Thursday
and Friday.
On Wednesday morning there
will be a parade of bands and
the parade of lodges will take
place on Thursday, at which time
it is officially estimated that from
20,000 to 30,000 Elks will be in
the procession.
The new constitution of the
organization adopted at the last
annual session of the grand lodge
will go into effect Tuesday, and
under it some important matters
will be brought up for consider-
ation at the present session.
The discarding of the Elk’s
tooth as an emblem of the order,
though it has never been an
official emblem, is ono of the im-
portant matters that will be taken
up. The destruction of the Elks
