Last week will be long remembered in
Williamson. The first attraction was
the bear. 'Tis needless to say his per-
formances were much enjoyed by the on
lockers. Next came the monkey and
hand organ. Of course Jocks smartness
was something wonderful. Next was 3
match game of ball between East End
and West End. Score stood IL to 6, in
favor of East End. Immediately after the
ball game prize fight claimed attention.
A large crowd was present. Trees and
stumps were places eagerly sought, and
fortunate, indeed, was he who, perched
on limb, could see the ring and yet be
above the danger Of fl Jing rocks and bats.
A knockout resulted in the first round.
Following the prize fight foot-race took
and Fitzsimmons fought were not in
vogue, the only rule being that hats
should be left behind. The race track ex-
tended half mile, down Academy and
up Spring Streets. The weather seemed
to fair up for the occasion; a lovelier day
could not be found, although the track
was in desperate condition, besides be-
ing up and down hill all the way, the
winner of the belt at the prize fight made
excellent time and won the race. The
race ended at the feet Of the Chief of Po-
lice-Receipts: Sl.00 or two days labor on
the streets. Hilfred LudloW's old bay
horse took the fever, and could not stand
still. AS soon as the excitement had died
away sufficiently for him to claim atten
ton, be decided to try the race track. The
only rule governing this race was that the
driver should be left behind, and this
rule was closely adhered to. The race
track was very short and the horse did
not have fair showing, tree in Depot
Grove being the goal. Time cannot be
given, as the time keeper was 30 taken by
surprise at the sudden terminus of the
race that he forgot his business. Two min
utes later this refractory animal decided
to draw his masters cart no longer and
carried his point to perfection. Force
used-his left hind leg.
Williamson is on the boom. Trees are
being planted all over town, fences built,
houses painted and other improvements
going on which add very much to the
beauty of our town.
