The Fourth was wet day in Eagle
River, much to the disappointment of
the large crowd that had gathered to
witness the events the committee had
planed. A number of visitors from out
of town were present. The only part
of the program carried out was the
dancing in the evening, which was
thoroughly enjoyed by all, a large
crowd being in attendance. The bal
ance of the program was given when
the weather would permit and the last
of the program was finished Tuesday
evening.
Friday evening the horse race was
given. Three horses were entered,
Mart Hirzel's, Mat Scherible's and Mr..
Strands, the latter winning the race
with HirzeI's horse second. Consider
able interest was shown in the race and
it is raid some money changed hands.
After the horse races the fireworks
were shot off, the display was unusually
good. 90
Saturday evenening foot race be-
tween Robert Hays and Art Mathews
furnished no little amount of amuse-
ment. AS we are inclined to be some
what modest, we will not say anything
about the race, only that Art won.

prepared poem entitled "a Saturday
Afternoon Foot Race in the Village of

fully and was composed by Mr.. Hirzel.

TRI-STATE MEET POSTPONED.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 1S.-The follow
ers of the three high schools-M. T. II. S.
of indianapolis, Louisville Manual Training
High School and the Mooney High School
OF Franklin, Tenn.-were disappointed this
afternoon at not being able to witness their
respective track teams in contests of
strength and endurance, wing to wet
weather. The meet was postponed till
Monday afternoon. The day broke clear
and warm, which filled the members of the
three schools and their friends with enthu-
siasm at the prospects of having a large
crowd out to witness the events. Without
any warning, and while the sun was still
shining, rain began to fall internationally,
and then came a heavy shower which
lasted for two hours and which soon con-
verted Fountain Ferry Park into a small
lake. Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather about 400 faithful ''rooters'
were in attendance at the park when the
three teams arrived.
Captain Peck and his ellow-athletes ar
rived on Friday night. and after eating a
hearty supper retired about 9 o'clock. On
the team was feeling in prime condition
and felt confident of carrying back the cup.
This feeling of confidence also pervaded the
camps of the other schools. At the Willard
Hotel, where the Mooney students were
quartered, great care was taken of the
members of the team. The latter are much
larger in size than their opponents, but this
fact seemed not in the least to cause any
feeling of apprehension among the Indian
apOlis boys. The latter are Quartered in
private rooms over Sunday.

PRINCETON DEFEATS COLUMBIA.
The Tigers Make O. 1-2 Points
Against Their Opponents 30 1-2.

NEW YORK, May 1s.-The athletes of
Princeton and Columbia Universities met
to-day at the annual dual track and field
games at Columbia Oval and the Tigers"
won, scoring 641a points against 3915 points
for Columbia. Rain fell continually, and a
cold wind blew across the oval on the hill
while the thirteen events were being con-
tested.
Princeton won the 10O-yard run, the 40
yard run. the 120-yard hurdle, the two-mile
run the 220-yard hurdle, the shot-put, the
pole vault. the running high jump and the
hammer throw. Columbia won the mile
run, the SS0-yards run. the 220-yards dash,
and the running broad jump. In the nam
mer throw, De Witt, of Princeton. sent the
missile a distance OF 156 feet 6 inches. This
beats the intercollegiate record of 154 feet
AZ inches held by Plaw, of California, but
does not come near the collegiate record
of los feet and one-half inch, which also is
held by Plaw, of California. As the Cali
fornian is not entered for. the intercol-
legiate games. which are TO take place on
Friday and Saturday of next week, 1T looks
now as If De Witt had this event at his
mercy.

Putting up tablets has so ragged among
the genealogical societies that ii is but nat
ural they should make a few mistakes now
and then. on the other hand. there's a
great deal in habit. With all the tablet-put-
ting-up some women have INDUCED IN for
the past few years one would think il would
be second nature by this time. Be that as
IL NAV. a very interesting article might be
ompiled on Tablets That Have Gone
Wrong-meaning, OF course, the tablets that
the jealous women of the genealogical So
c~ieties have put upon wrong buildings or
in the wrong neighborhood, or with some
inscription totally at variance both with
tradition and history. The Holland Danes
distinguished themselves in the height of
their glory three or four years ago by put
ting up a tablet somewhere in the lower
part of the city that had nothing whatever

posed TO commemorate. A certain ID. A. r.
chapter was only the other day guilty OF a
most fragrant error in tablet etiquette, and
when called TO account the sole excuse the
chapters head made was: We'll, we asked
