COOKING THE MEATS.
All Last Night the Seasoning Was
Being Put In.

The fires for the barbecue started at
O'Clock Tuesday morning and long be-
fore the sun rose the light of the large
fires lit up Garfield park as it used to
be when the Shawnees held their dances
and smoked their pipes of peace.
This time no SaVages danced around
the flames or told of the white mans
coming, but instead the men who were
hurrying here and there, carrying large
arn1fuls of wood and placing it on the
fires. The fires were kept up until
about 8 o'clock and then allowed to die
down. Stakes of cord-wood were then
placed across the pits and the meat put
on them. Additional fires were then
started on the ground surrounding the
pits and as fast as the ashes in the pits
commenced to die out fresh Goals were
put in from the fires on the ground.
The hot Goals We're used instead of a
fire under the meat to keep from burn
ing or blackening the meat. Wooden
stakes were used acrOS sthe pits in
stead of iron, because iron becomes red
hot and burns the meat. As soon as the
meats began to cook the savory odor
attracted a large crowd and even the
monkeys in the park got their noses up
to the cracks in their cage in an en-
deavor to get a whiff. One little pick
aninny came running up to the fence
around the enclosure where the meat
was being cooked and said: Let me up
close; 1 wants to get some OBJ dat fla
Voh.'
BY 8 O'Clock in the afternoon the cooks
commenced to season the meats. For
this Is pounds of butter, 16 gallons of
vinegar, 11a barrels of salt and u
pounds of pepper were used. All that
afternoon and night the cooks were busy
watching the meat and keeping up the
fires.
Four different kinds of meat We're
cooked, 800 pounds of beef, 500 pounds
of mutton, 500 pounds of pork and 500
pounds of lunch ham.
