Each school had it's banner Some
one fired Walnut Hill banner, and
held the blazing flag aloft. Then fol-
lowed competition in the burning of
banners, and this diversion ripened
into contest with fists ami clubs. in
which the votariss of each school par
tiripated. At first it was chiefly in
front of tho grandstand, whore il an
peared SO innocent that ,the police did
not interfere. 1t was back of the grand

laid out unconscious for several
minutes, from blow dealt on the
head with fence board, and another
got a broken nose from a brickbnt,
