Those Who Won Prizes At Laurel min
Park During Day.

Inc CaleuoIiuH Club VI tHlS CITY ueiu
its annual games yesterday at Laurel
Hin park, and although the weather
was rther threatening and at times the
rain fell. there were between 1000 and
5000 people present. The contests were
very spirited. and much enthusiasm
was shown In the events set apart for
the members. The programme Of the
Caledonians was carried on without a
hitch. although some Of the attractions
to be supplied by MIR. Laine did not ma
terialiZe.
A balloon ascension had been adver-
tised for morning and afternoon. but
occurred at neither time. Mr.. Laine,
when asked the reason, stated that the
balloonist had been hired, came to the
park on Wednesday and received $25
in order to insure an ascension. After
getting this advance he left, and since
then nothing has been seen or heard Of
him. The Caledonians were very much
provoked over this matter. In CONVEX
sation with prominent Caledonian. 1t
was stated that they were running
their games this year on a percentage
basis and that Mr.. Laine was to supply
the attractions. He hoped that the
public would not blame them for this
matter, as they had done all In their
power to have everything just as ad-
vertised.
