Only one thing occurred during the day
to make any general annoyance, and that
was the arrest of &. Davis, OF st. Paul.
He came here with what their dodgers
liable as the "Mike Smith combination, !"
and ran in the hundred yards race. he
did not wear any clothing to speak Of,
even the usual precautiOn as to a
breech-cl0th being practically aban-
dOned. From a rear view he was stark
naked. Still he was allowed to race
OIL Main street, and was then arrested
and put in Jail, where he remained all
last night.
The sports were begun with 100-yard
foot race for boys under the age of four

;,id ad Tho
half-mile foot race, open to all, was eX-
citing from the start, there being five
entries. William F. Walsh crossed the
line first, with P. II. Casey second.
The purse was for SIS divided,
$50 and $25. The wheeibarrow race,
in which there were five entries, was
warmly contested. Peter Stadler being
the victor, with &. A. Benson second,
Ed Sondigan third and John Seadholm
fourth. The purse was for S25 divided,
$40, $3.50, SIS, $3.50. This ended the
fOrenoon'S sport. In the afternoon at 2
o'clock each of the fire department
crews entered a hose-laying contest,
the run being about $50 yards. Charles
Johnson'S team was victorious. The
alarm was turned in, the department
on the spot and the water Oh in 2:15;
Krone's crew was second in 1888; Ed
Sondlgan's crew third in 1925. After
the hose-laying contest the alarm was
turned in from the corner of Main and
Nelson streets, and the entire
department made the run
and had the water turned on
in $40, which was exceedingly quick
time. The next on the programme was
a swimming contest for a purse of $25,
divided SIS and $40. in which there were
five entries. Schilling was the victor,
with III. Staples close second. The
several boat races were close and excit-
ing, and were, without doubt, the most
interesting part of the programme. The
first race was four-oared shell race, in
which were two entries, one being r.
Bronson's, the other E. w. Durant Jr.
The boats were started little too close
and before going very far their oars
became entangled, delaying them some
what. After this was remedied the
race was exciting, both boats turning
their respective buoys at the
same time. The home stretch
was exciting, both boats being
very close with Bronson'S baat Slightly
in the lead and finishing about three
lengths ahead of the other. The course
was half mile and back for purse of
$75,divided $50 and s25. The next race,
two-oared skiff race. was warmly con-
tested by the following: r. Golf, Dan
Farnham and d. Keyes. Golf was in
the lead almost the whole stretch when
Farnham increased his speed, passing
Golf and running about two lengths
ahead. The contest for second place
between Golf and Keyes was interest
ing, Golf winning by half length.
The distance was one-half mile and re-
f@,- Of InA md
$40.
The next race, a four-oared bateau
race, i'm which there were four entries,
was exciting from start to finish. In
the toss for position Reilly'S crew was
given first place, Wealy'S second, Un-
derhill's third, and McCarthy's fourth.
Reilly's crew took the lead at the start
and continued in that position to the fin
ish, with Mealy's second, and UnderhllPS
third, McCarthy's crew did not finish
the race; after pulling IwO-thirds of the
distance they pulled ashore, being quite
a distance in the rear. The most excit-
ing part of this race was the battle of
Mealy's and Underhili's crew for sec
ond place. Mealy winning by a
length. The distance was about
three-fourths of mile, and
return for a purse OF 500, divided SIS
and S25. The last race single scull
race between E. w. Durant Jr. and
John McGrath, was an interesting race,
the former being the victor by about
three lengths. The distance was half
mile and return for purse
of $50, divided $40 and $40.
The celebration at the state prison was

interval, when the inmates adjourned to
the chapel after dinner to hear a mock
lawsuit wherein one of the boys sued
for damages OH account of an alleged
breech of promise of marriage. Before
a decision was reached court adjourned
to the back yard, when the fun went
very fast and furious until lOcking-up
came. There was not, during all the
time, single breach of discipline, nor
profane or indiscreet word used by the
convicts, so far as the guards know.
