In the state tournament now
in progress at Jamestown. A. M.
Baldwin, chief of our local de-
partment was elected as one OF
the trustees of the state associa'
ton.
The first on the program was
the dress parade and as usual
the Cooperstown boys showed
up we'll in their brilliant uni
forms and took the prize.
The next event pulled off was
the association race in which
the locals again demonstrated
that they could go some by COM
ing out the fray with the winning
ribbon.
Then came the hub-and-hub
race and once more the Coopers-
town boys came to the front far
enough to win first place.
These are all that we are able
to give our readers at this hour,
but will be able to give full par
ticulars in the next issue of the
COURIER.
Here is wishing the boys good
luck and that they keep the good
work up as has been done at
other tournaments.

that defenseless organ; if one of our
worthy citizens puts in a whole night try
