News from the Dart - Part 3

From the October 1, 1891, issue:

Pleasant Time

          The firemen's third annual ball is history now but its recollection leaves a bright spot on the page to those attending. It was a success in every particular. Fifty-one numbers were sold and the supper at the Morrison house was pronounced superb, in fact, perfect. Sedwell's band, Minneapolis, made-up of four pieces, furnished the music which was highly satisfactory. It was a festive time. 


Members of the Hinckley Fire Department posed in front of their new firehall just before the 1894 fire.  

Gossip Around Town 

          The match game of ball last Sunday between the Sandstone nine and Hinckley resulted in a score of 37 to 8 in favor of the latter. It was a little moist on that day which probably accounts for the condition of the count. Anyhow there are good fellows in the defeated nine, who took their defeat philosophically.


Hinckley's baseball team is shown here just after the 1894 fire.
