The four legged race was very amusing Ito
the spectators), but not to some of the con
testants, who were In pairs and strapped to-
gether back to back. Their mode of locomo.
ton was between crawl and scramble.
Large feet and steady nerve are required
to run this race successfully. When you
have seen one Of these races you can get an
idea of what skipping the ra.la-la is.
1t was won by L. Trowbridge and George
Hall.
The next event was the boat race between
three young ladies, distance of one hun-
dred and four feet and two and a half inches
was rowed. The first seventeen inches of
the race was hotly contested, but soon Miss
Pitcher began rowing seventy strokes to the
minute, and she crossed the line first thereby
getting the prize, one dozen lead pencils, and
she also got four large blisters on her hand.
Miss Bodwell took second prize, half pound
of candy.
The sack race was great. There were four
entries. One young man brought his sisters
appointed when told that It was potato sacks
that were to be used. Each young man was
put into a large potato sack with nothing but
his head exposed. At the word go the four
began, and such scrambling is seldom SEEM
When the sacks arrived at the goal they were
examined, and II was discovered that the sack
containing Mr.. Burt Bush rolled In first, and
he was awarded the prize, set of cuff but
tons.
The next event was cracker eating con-
test. The one who ate two soda crackers
first without drinking anything was to receive
the prize.
One young man depended upon the size of
his mouth for success. Another thought
that he would have the advantage owing to
the rapidity with which he could move his
jaws.
At the word 60 they all went to work with
a will, and the chewing they did would have
done credit to school girl chewing gum.
The prize, bottle Of ginger ale, was won
land 1t was very much needed alsol by Ernest
Clawshaw.
The boys boat race was the event of the
day. Five boats with four large boys in
each were stationed at one end of the lake.
A large watermelon was put in the water on
tho opposite side. Then the boys, using
nothing but their hands for paddles, went for
the melon. The boys were wet through in
getting the melon, but the act pleased the
spectators. The wet winners were L. Krouss,
]. Downs, ]. Hemion, w. Hunter.
The potato race was won by L. Bodwell.
