in its way 1t was what might be
called home made" but it answered
all the purposes of a machine that
might cost thousands, as far as the En-
ioyment was concerned. The arms
were braced with ropes from the CEN
ter-pole, and chairs were made fast to
the arms. A fiddler was perched near
the center, and the lovers who could
not be tickled by a ride on that ma
chine while listening to that music
well, they're incapable of being tickled.
Then there were the usual innocent
games of chance to lure the nickels
from the jeans of the ambitious youth,
and there were foot races in which
those VINO aspired still higher might
seek to lower the world record, which
Joe Matz came near doing. Following
is the result of these races:
1G0-yard dash-Frank Rosenthal, first
prize; Mic Bare, second; Roman Polls
XII, third.
Ladies race-Mary Rosenthal, first;
Bronze Bolinski, second; Mary Lun-
deskt third.
Old mems race-Joe Matz, first; John
Kocidowski, second; August Kaldun-
ski, third.
Little girls race-Rosie Risenthal,
first; Annie WicZyinSki, second; Rosie
Skorczewski, third.
