The Z. M. G. A. Field Games and the
Results or the Day.
The Y. M. G. A. games which were
postponed from Saturday, June 16 on
account of the rain we're run off last
Saturday. 1t seemed to be the gem
enal opinion that the postponement
had been a Jump from the frying pan
into the fire, for although the rain had
held up for a couple Of hours on the
previous Saturday, showers last Sat
urday were frequent. The rain re-
mained on the surface Of the ground
and the games might better have
been turned water sports than field
games. The attendance was good,
considering the day and the interest
considerable. The conditions Of course
prevented any possible record break
ing.
