which were held by the Cathedral
school boys at the State Fair Grounds
yesterday, were a grand success. The
day was an ideal one for outdoor
sports, and the young athletes battled
for the supremacy in the various
events in a manner worthy of profess
SIGNALS. A large audience, composed
principally of the parents and friends
Of the pupils, was present to encourage
their favorites.

the applause from the spectators was
most liberal. The leading features
centered in the bicycle races the vari-
