CHARLESTON. Wash. May 23.-Rev.
b. Presson, of the Baptist church OF
Charleston, acting as q representative
of the G. A. r. posts of both Lewiston
and Charleston and the Women's Re-
lief corps, has gone before the board
of directors of the lewiston Charleston
Interstate Fair association and asked
that the race meet which is scheduled
for Decoration day be cancelled, and
not allowed to be held on the fair
grounds. A meeting of the board will
be held at Lewiston tomorrow even
ing, at which time the question will
be decided.
Decoration day Is set aside rather
for a day of mourning for the men
who have given their lives for their
country than for a day of sport and
merry making" said Rev. Presson this
morning. ct have consulted the gov
erning boards of the posts in both
cities and find that they heartily sane
ton the move have taken. The MEM
bers of the Ministerial union, which
met at Lewiston last week, have stated
themselves back Of the move and re-
gard 1t as a good one. There are Ss4
days in the year on which horses
might be run aside from Decoration
day, and 1t is no less than a mark OF
respect to the dead heroes that we OBJ =
serve the day in mourning"
