FIRST FIELD DAY.
OF the Logan Athletic Club.

Lie A1uleiiS Sdiico VI last iHui'
, day We're very interesting. The bi-
cycle races were the best that Logan
people have ever witnessed, the en-
thusiasm ran higher and the club
.colors, orange and black, were flying
everywhere. At - o'clock the day
began. A procession consisting of
the Logan Band, Knights of st John,
Officers of the day and the club,
marched to the depot to lively music
and the lustv cheers of the Club.
They gave the yell, time after time
..Who are we? Who are we? We are
the people, L. A. O. A special train
took them to the fair grounds.
7 The track was in excellent condition,
almost as smooth as glass While the
crowd was gathering, the wheelmen
were spinning around the track and
here and there distanced sprinter
was snailing around after them. At
one o'clock the grand stand was filed
with fair ladies who waved the colors
and cheered their favorite riders.

race and ended with two mile
handicap bicycle race. Here is a

The unique feature OF the afternoon
was the foot ball game. We are not
accustomed to such rough and tumble
games in Logan and don't think it is
at all adapted to the parlor The
game was well played on both sides, ,
it was little rough. to be sure, but it
is intended to develop cast-iron
and steady nerves.
At five o'clock it was all over, :;
fully 1900 people were there, and !
every body enjoyed himself:
In the evening there was a public
presentation of prizes at the rooms of
the club. Prof. Rayman and DR..
Moore presented them in behalf of
the club, and as the winners came to {
the front they were cheered by the
members. ,
The Field Day reflects great'deal {
of credit on the Club. 1t shows what !
good gymnasium training has done
for the members. 1t gave the people !
an idea of how much interest the busl-
ness men take in the Athletic Club.
The affair was a financial success. and 9
the proceeds will be devoted to put
ting i'll new apparatus and furnishing {
the reading room. the Athletic Club g
has come to stay and is filing a wide I
berth in Logan. 1t is doing good
and deserves the support our good q
people have given it. ,
