Officials Are Pleased.
After watching the preliminary events
held during the summer, the officials of the
association are enthusiastic over the prog

tis believes if this city should send teams
to jamestown to compete in the playground
contests there the locals would easily carry
off most of the honors.

grounds, this being new feature. The
games will begin each afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock, and the events will be run Off in
snappy fashion, time being wasted. Sew
eral events will be in progress at the same
time.

children, at least. will be a parade to the
Franklin school Wednesday, with banners
flying, after the contests are over.
