Championship Medal.


Last evening at the Miller Hotel
an interesting ceremony took place,
in which the members of the High
Five Club" took part, the occasion
being the presentation of a most
imposing leather medal, as cham
pionship trophy, to Colonel Ike
lowell, the invincible High Five
player. The club has been playing
for some time almost nightly, and
as Col. lowell always wins, the
members devised this plan to reward
him. The medal is of yellow leather
of generous proportions, being about
IS inches in diameter, and bears the
following inscription:
Presented to Ike lowell, the
High Five champion of the Rio
Grande, by his admirers.
Brownsville, Texas, Feb, 1905"
The presentation was made by
Judge JIG. Barbee, in the following
neat speech:
Gentlemen of the Brownsville
High Five Club, and guests:-The
American people are hero worship
pers and every society and every
club throughout this broad land
have, at some time during their
existence, felt called upon to confer
upon some member who had distin-
guished himself as an expert some
mark of distinction. In accordance
with this custom, the Brownsville
High Five Club met this evening
and voted Mr.. Towel, one of its
members, honors of championship,
and in order that this honor might
be evidenced by testimonial to be
worn by the gentleman, made 1t IN
cumbent upon me to present the
gentleman with this medal, which
marks him as champion, until
someone more expert than he may
wrest it from him. Mr.. lowell |
salute you. champion High Five
PLAYER of the Rio Grande."
Whereupon the Judge suspended
the medal by It's ribbon around the
neck of Mr.. lowell, who bore the
honor with modest grace, and ex-
pressed his gratitude for the honor
in an appropriate way.
The occasion inspired the follow
ing quatrain by the Poet Laureate
of the club, yclept Mackay:
Gin presenting this token of
friendship,
We at naught but fer fun
did connive;
So we with him partake of
a good social nip
And adjoufn to meet again
at High Five"
