Observance of Labor Day.

Labor Day was observed by the
Foresters and Red Men as a field day,
the sports being held at Riverside park.
At 1890 o'clock a parade headed by
the drum corps, marched through the
principal streets and then to the park.
The first event, a potato race, was won
by Sidney Darling; the sack race was
won by Fred Knapp; Clarence Fay
came in first in the three-legged race;
Dr. Pratt was the winner of the fat
mans race and the pie eating contest,
which created a good deal of merri
ment, was won by Willie Curran
Maurice Purcell came in first on the
foot race across the ball ground. A
game of old fashioned round ball was
played by the Foresters and Red Men
and won by the Foresters. The clos
ing event was a creased pig race but
as the animal was very tame and made
himself entirely at home, this feature
was rather unexciting. The prize,
the pig itself, was won by Thomas
Golden. The profits amounted to
considerably over 800 and will be
