and the Winners.

The games of the Providence Caledon-
ian Society were we'll attended yesterday,
and each number on the program was
carried through in an interesting manner
The tug Of war and bicycle race proved to
be the most exciting events OF the DAY.
In the latter-named event Wilkenson ana
Herrick were given a fifty yard start. aud
they were soon passed by Scott. In the
sixth lap Scott fell and partially disabled
his machine and lost about three-quarters
of a lap his rivals all passing him.
After righting up his machine he went to
work with a will and was soon In COM
pany with the other riders, and In the
twentieth lap he pushed to the front,
which position he held to the finish. the
audience shouting themselves hoarse.
Monte was picked up by his admirers
and carried over to the grand stand
where another series of nollering" was
given him.
In the tug -of-war the Fall River heavy
weights proved too heavy for the PRovI-
DENCE boys and their faces presented q
sad sight when they found that they
were being made to step inch by inch In
the wrong direction. They took their de-
feat with good grace.
