FIFTH ANNUAL OUTING
The Mas, e. Butchers Asso-

WILLIAM HERON CROWNS
QUEEN OF LOVE AND BEAUTY.
Barbecue Feast a Feature-Variety of
Amusements-List of Officers
and Committees.

The fifth annual outing and barbecue
of the Master Butchers Association at
Benning yesterday was one of the most
successful ever given by that organization.
1t is estimated that the crowd which
thronged the grand stand and the vacant
space around the race track numbered 1000.
The weather for the occasion was most pro-
pitious. Notwithstanding the weather god
threatened early in the day to make things
gloomy every cloud finally passed over and
the program scheduled was carried out
with out a hitch.
All the feat ores of the county fair were
In evidence In the field and were literally
patronized. Probably the greatest attrac-
ton of the day was the tournament, where
sharp rivalry was manifest among twenty
five gallant knights. The large crowd which
gathered at the race track watched eagerly
for two hours the efforts of the several
contestants to win the prize and the priv
ilege of browning the queen
William Heron, who was mounted on
Washington Boy, made a fault.ess ride and
captured nine rings, returning to the judges
every ring he tried for. This distinction
constitutes Mr.. Heron the champion for
Washington. Maryland and Virginia. At
ter the races he was called to the judges
stand and presented with the first prize, $50,
and also the championship gold belt. He
crowned Miss Nellie Coppidge of Balti-
more queen of love and beauty.
Three other prizes were awarded by the
judges for finishing in second third and
fourth places. Second honors went to John
khlor, knight or Rockdale,. who lost out
first place by one point. One of the rings
he tried for was missed by Mr.. Khlor be-
cause his mount got off badly and the
judges, to prevent a contention, refused to
grant him another ride. A minority, how
ever, favored giving him another chance.
Mr.. Khlor received $50 and the honor OF
browning the first maid of honor, which
title he bestowed upon Miss c. R. Templar
