The most remarkable feature of

WAY OF ENDING A PROLONGED Con-
TEsT.-An exciting incident happened
Labor Day, at Renton, when the tug
Of-war was on between twenty-four
determined men, after the contest
had lasted thirty-fye minutes, with
out any decided advantage to either
side. 1t seems that great interest
was taken in the matter by outsiders,
and one witness was worked up to a
frenzy. This was Mrs. Jack Mar
lowe, who rushed forward and cut
the rope, and when the doughty
Greeks demonstrated, slashed some
OF them with the same knife that had
cut the gordian knot in the athletic
game. Another excited spectator
was Dad" William Wood, who rang
the fire-bell. This was done just be-
fore the Amazon ended the contest
by severing the rope, and would
probably have ended the game had
not the knife accomplished that OBJ
ject.
