Montgomery Fete Champetre.

now neou De apprenended
Montgomery Fete Champetre.
The games and festivities an.
nounced to take place at Montgom-
cry on Saturday, May 18th, were
carried out to the letter, and a fair
er and more pleasant day could not
have been desired for the occasion.
It was our good fortune, together
with about q dozen other visitors
from Colfax, to be present and
share the hospitality and civilities
of the Montgomery people on this
their fete holiday.
To lend their whole efforts to-
ward entertainment, as we'll as to
give their clerks and employees full
opportunity to participate, the mer-
chants of the town all closed their
doors early in the day, and did not
open them until after 4 o'clock in
the afternoon.
The old field sports began about
1880 in the forenoon, with jumping,
vaulting, racing and wrestling
matches, tossing a cannon ball, etc.,
in which a goodly number of ath-
letes took q hand. All were close
ly contested, but by consent the
championship was awarded to Mr..
Geo. Payne, as the winner of the
$50 yards race, three jumps, and
half harmon. Prof. G. G. Harris
won in the standing jump, while
Mr.. Jno. /. Mccain carried off the
honors for tossing the cannon ball,
he having performed the muscular
act of throwing a 5O-pound can
non ball over his head for dis
lance OF l53 feet.
At the noon hour Prof. Harris
mounted the dinner table, and in
neat little speech announced that
Nh. Geo. Payne was entitled to
crown the Queen of Beauty for the
day. In response to the hearty
call of the crowd Mr.. Payne came
forward and received handsome
crown of brilliant roses and gerani-
ums that had been prepared for
the occasion. Mr.. Payne modestly
disclaimed the honor of having won
the privilege accorded, as the feats
and trials had been too closely con-
tested to leave much room for the
victor. He announced that he
would crown Miss Bertha Bern
stein as Queen of Beauty for the
day. As Miss Bertha was blush
ingly urged forward to receive the
honor so chivalrously bestowed the
assembled crowd heartily applaud
ed the act of presentation.
BY this time fully three hundred
persons were on the grounds, and
the pretty girls and manly swains
to be seen did ones heart good to
gaze upon. A table 160 feet long
was spread under oak trees, loaded
with an abundance of barbecued
meats of all kinds, chickens, salads,
bread, cake, ETC., while fifty yards
away at the smoking pits was still
another pile of hot barbacued
meats, for which no room could be
found on the table. There was an
abundance and to spare. After the
whites had Toasted the colored peo-
pie took charge of the tables, and;
after they had had full liberty,
there was yet to spare, and the sur
plus of delicious meats had to be
of by distribution among
the households of the town and Vi
cinity in liberal supply.
Everything was free, dinner, par
ticipetion in the games, and all,
but, in order to raise fund to pay
for the handsome piano lately pur-
chased for the Montgomery High
