The medals for craftsmanship, which were earned last year at target practice, will be distrib-
 uted this evening. After drill water melon feast will be indulged in.
 NO USE TO WAiT-If anybody should see two poor little half-starevd boys holding fast to a couple or fish poles in Eastlake park he should tell
 them to jump their job and go after something to eat. for Frank DeSoUza and J. A. C. Martinez, who hired them, will never pay them. These two sports went out to the park yesterday to cele- brate. Everything was tame, and they couldn't find any strenuous rules to violate except the regulation against fishing in the lake. There are prob ably no fish there, anyway, but as soon as they saw that fishing was prohibited they were overcome with a desire to try their luck. They found a couple of poles and two pieces of string. They had no fish-hooks, but they tied a sinker on the end of each line to keep it below water. Then a couple of boys came along and they offered them 25 cents apiece to watch their lines while they took a little walk around. So far as they know, the boys are still watch ing the lines.
