 The last train arrived little after noon, when the coief cook and his assistants were loading up the ''big oyen." Eigh1y b~shels of clans and seVe: al barrels of sweet potatoes and corn were in ;Le pile and it look cd like a young coal pit as it lay s,eamirg over the hot stones The bake Wss spr- rounded by wire fence and the e1ltrarce guarded by the portly form of Policeman Jen- nings.

About two o'clock the 'bahe" was opened and the scene of hun gry mortals crowd;ng around the enclosure, calling for clams beggars description. All sorts of things were passed over the fence to the waters.-hats, old boxes, baskets, boiler covers, satchels, anything to hold clam. For full hour score of walters were kept busy dealing out rations. After the crowd had been fed then came the races. The first was a wheelbarrow race the next on the programme was the tub race, which was not very excit- ing as one competitor failed to make his tub float

In about a minute after the word Coz T. Burns captured the animal and that ended tee pig race. The last Of the games was the greased pole climbing, and after half hours work by several parties tie prize, watch, was gained by young lad by tEe name of Bovhen.
