grove where the willoughby 8. s. Associ-
alton was holding basket picnic. Several
addresses were given and good time enjoy
ed. The races and sports began at O'Clock
and were very interesting and exciting.
The 100 yard dash was won by Harold
Guild. The second honor fell to Oscar
Gibbs. Oscar Gibbs won the obstacle race.
Ia the sack race Gene Dubois took first
Preston Connor second money. In the three
! legged race Earl Ordway and Oscar Gibbs
| won first money with Elmer Lewis and
| Enos Freeheart in second place. Eddie
| Towle won first money in tub race with
Edwin Dudley second. The CREASED pole
looked so slippery and the river beneath
| it looked so cold that those who en-
| tered in the contest refused to climb.
| The tug of war between two picked teams
resulted in a victory for the team captained
| by Chas. Mute over that captained by Will
| Brown. Another ball game in the after
| noon proved to be repetition of the fore
| noon game except in the last game st.
| Johnsbury failed to score and held the
Barton Landing team to Is runs. The
| Skinner who allowed only three hits and
| struck out nine men, and batting of In
| gals who in five times at bat made base
| hits, one base hit and home run. The
| good fielding done by Barton Landing is
| shown by the fact that the st. Johnsbury
| boys hit the ball twenty times and yet
could not get run. The query is, how
| l0uo will ii he hefora Rorton oDd;ro ,,oo
| pie will awake to the fact that they have a
| good ball team? 1t was the unanimous
verdict of the people that the fireworks in
| the evening were the most pleasing fea-
lures of the day. These were in charge OF
| Mr.. Bert Scott who kept the air full of fire
! for an hour. The dance at the New Opera
| House was largely attended and all pres
ent seemed to have a good time. Music
was furnished by Sawyer's orchestra.
| Every one present in Barton Landing dur
ing the day had pleasant time and the
celebration can be called nothing less than
| a success.
