The Lamar register., 1905-09-06

many OF the citizens would have
liked to have heard the home band
also. The failure of the two main
events of the freman's tournament
owing to fault Of the hose coup
ling was also much to be regretted.
The Lamar team, We believe, was
the best ever got together in the
valley. They won the mile relay
race on the second day in 3:2O 2-5
which is q national record, and they
tied the state record for the zoe
yards lun with the hose cart on the
first day, making it in "a seconds.
On the third day they made the run
in % seconds, but were unable to
break the coupling, and the race was
declared of, Las Animas also failing.
In the relay race Ross Grsdsn took
the first lap and Of course opened up
good lead, and the remarkable
feature was that not one Of the ten
who followed lost foot Of the lead
he started with, several adding CON
siderable to it. Dr. Saylsr finished
up a good 100 feet ahead Of the
Las Animas man who was second.
The exhibitions Of fancy riding
by the Gilman Bros. OF GRANADA and
the famous buoking bull were both
very interesting and pleasing to the
crowd.
The base ball tournament proved
rather enc sided, the Garden City
nine being too strong for their op-
ponents. The scores were: First
Day, Garden City Z to Lamar 0;
second day, Garden City % to Holly
4; third day, Garden City IL to La
mar 2. Both the Holly and Lamar
mines, however, were just got togsth-
er for the occasion, and had had very
little practice and no previous play
ing experience this year.
The fremen's 100 yards foot race
was won by Ross Grsden with Fred
Rosacrans a close second.
