POW-WOW DREW BIG CROWD TWO DAYS

Rain and Cold Spell Marred Last Day and Prevented Final Monoplane Flights. The Pow-Wow may be termed a big success in general respects. While some disappointments occurred, particularly the high wind which prevented the flights of the monoplane Saturday, the whole affair went off quite smoothly and there were large crowds present both Friday and Saturday. The Saturday crowd would have been much larger but for the fact that it turned very cold Friday night and a raw wind blew throughout the night. It rained part of Friday night and some Saturday morning, and more late Saturday night, driving many to their homes at an earlier hour than they otherwise would have gone. “That it is an ill wind that blows no one some good,” was again proven, for the throngs that had" gathered for the purpose of enjoying an outing devoted the day to trading, and merchants report a very large business, especially in the drygoods and clothing lines. The Red Men report a shortage of albout S4OO, the exact figures not being available until all bills are in. Their expenses were between $1,200 and $1,300 and their receipts, including the S4OO given by merchants, will not exceed SBOO very much. The ball team lost money, also, having given 40 per cent of its gross receipts to the Red Men and guarantees to the visiting ball teams, while having to pay part of the players. Aside from a financial proposition the affair proved successful and concession people generally made some money. Mestach made splendid flights Thursday and Friday and would doubtless have done so Saturday, but he reported the wind too “chojjpy” to undertake a flight. He went to the ball park as late as 5:30 o’clock Saturday evening and found that the uncertain direction of the wind made it entirely too dangerous to undertake a flight. The people were disappointed, but at the same time very reasonable, as they were not asking him to take any chances that might result in accident. The ball game Saturday resulted in a victory for Rensselaer over Remington. The score was 7 to 0. Sells Bros., of Wadena, were the battery for Remington, while Tietz and Clark divided the pitching and <Mason caught for Rensselaer. The visitors batted very well, but the Rensselaer boys were playing giltedged ball and every chance to the outfield was accepted, while the infield, also, played splendidly. From the spectator’s standpoint the game was very good to see, but it was so cold that those who witnessed it were in physical discomfort while doing so. The summary. RENSSELAER.
