Local MANAGEMENT Comes Out
About Even Financially.
A Celebration.

The tournament is ended, the visiting
flremen have gone to their homes and
Marshalltown is out very little finan-
oially, altho much hard work has been
entailed. The two local running teams
took all the prize money they could pos
sibly secure, While the visiting teams
and departments are satisfied with their
winnings, some of them securing more
than they expected, for the reason that
there was not much competition.
Following the state belt race Friday
afternoon, which was won by the F. G.
Pierce team of Marshalltown in the
state record time OF 81 4-5. the COMPETE
tive drill between the fraternal societies
of this city was called. Two teams en-
tered. the Modern Woodmen Of America
end the uniformed rank of the knights
of the Maccabees. The Woodmen team
was commanded by Capt. Harry Gregg
and the Maccabees by Capt. I. w. Boul-
din. The Woodmen appeared in new and
neat uniforms of white trimmed in
blue. and gave very pretty drill. The
Maccabees, who have drilled very little.
but their efforts were appreciated by
the audience. Gen. B. A. Beeson, Col.
p. r. Jones and Capt. Isle w. Brown
acted as judges and awarded the first
prize OF $50 to the Woodmen and the
second prize Of s25 to the Maccabees.
The novelty hub and hub race was one
of the most exciting of the tournament.
In this the teams started at the judges
stand, ran 1875 yards to cart, took up
cart. returned to judges stand, laid $50
feet of hose and attached nozzle, The
Buchwalds and West Libertys ran first.
The latter beat the Marshalltown boys
to the carts and got start on the home
stretch first, but were overtaken before
the wire was reached. Both teams made
fair time, the Buchwalds being given
So 3-5 and the West Libertys His. The
Pierce team made the run alone, there
being but three entries, and took first
place in the time of 36 1-5.
Another exciting race and the last on
the program was the hub and hub race
between the Pierce and Buchwald
teams, the two fastest competing in the
state race. The champions did not beat
their splendid young competitors down
the stretch more than three seconds, but
the Buchwalds' coupling stuck and
made their time slow. The champions
made the run and coupling in 80 2-5 and
the Buchwalds in 401-5.

|tinguisher, the building erected for the
purpose being set on fire again and the
fire put out with the chemicals. The
hose was manipulated by two OF the
members OF the Marshalltown fire de-
partment.
THE WINNERS.
The prize moneys were very we'll d.
vided up among the competing teams
and departments during the three days
meeting. The Pierce team took first
place in every race entered, but it's WIN
nings were not SO large as those of the
Buchwald team for the reason that 1t
could not enter some of the amateur and
class contests. The two teams secured
. total of $500 in winnings, while West
Liberty, which came here expecting lit
tie. carried home $3.50 Physically the
latter team was sore lot when they
started home, because they had had no
training and did considerable hard work
at the tournament. Their home town
ought to assist them next year in pre-
pairing for the tournament, as the team
mas some good material.
