ants in each event, and the ladies espe-
clally took great interest in their COM

! during which the male spectators took
refuge behind trees and pretended to be-
| lleYe that the only safe spot was direct

| was contest in which the ladies were
made to stand ON table and guess the
distance to the center of a pile of po-
ta'toes, and a, flfty-yard running race,
but If the 3salesmen thought tne girls
| couldn't ruppc they found out they were
mistaken, for a couple of Minneapolis
misses gathered up their skirts and came
down the track in time that would have
done credit to their brothers.
