past two weeks, but gave bright and
cheerful aspect to the scene, making
the pleasure seekers forget the tempera-
ture.

on hand, being the following: Mr..
J. q. Spencer, secretary and director

praise that need be bestowed on all
concerned is conveyed in the state
ment that never did series of athletic
competitions pass off with less Earring

winning times very excellent, while in
