made by young ladies. For instance. III
The delightful little game of taking n
flying start, swinging high as possible

a cross bar the record put up four
feet. Last year tho best the boys could
do was ten feet. but Sltt"rdinS and Car

was reached and Maurice Joyce was
crazy with excitement. The two boys
tied and had 10 resort To the toss Of a
coin TO decide who should get the prize.
Carter won.
Ed Fitzgerald won the high jump and

Sack Contest Was Funny.

There a great time when the sack
race was started. So many entries were
recorded that three heats had 10 be run
and the jumping. feet-bound students filled
the floor. A sack race is a beautiful sight
and is a splendid thing for the develop
ment of the face. To hop fast pos
sible and then get tripped fiat on the nose
is thrilling thing. There were more
spills to the second during the sack race
heats than ever occurred in a foot ball
game. 1t was just lots of fun. and that is
about the way the boys looked at it.
Tommy Smith. the hurdler. shone in that
event and Won it with ease. after every
body had tripped on their own feet.
Tommy is something of runner, too. and
demonstrated his speed in the 20-yard
dash. He had fast men against him, but
he took away first in d close brush with
Dahill. Tommy tried about everything on
the card and gave them all run for their
money.
Just to show the boys how to box Tom
my Lowe and Kid Egan boxed three OF
the mildest rounds ever seen. Joe Turner
wrestled a while. but was unable to put
local men without reputation as yet but
who made a good showing.

HARD ROADS ASSURED
IN The WEST END
Right-Of-Way Being Cleared Between
Tyler and Trenton.
nEwseaRy AND TYLER ROAD

Large Force Now Engaged In Laying
Rock, and Within Few Months
Road May be Completed Between
the TWO Points-citizens Active.
The good people Of the West End
having become thoroughly imbued
with the good roads fever, are active
IN the matter OF bodybuilding at this
time, with the result that within the
next year that section Of Alachua
county will have her share of hard
surfaced highways, if progress con-
tinues as it has done for the past
month.
A few months ago the people of the
Newberry precinct voted to make that
district a sub-road, or special road
district, which would enable them to
construct hard roads from direct taxa
ton of the people. AS the best evi-
dence that the move was a popular
one, the question was carried almost
unanimously. since which time prepa-
rations have been in order to begin
work in earnest.
The road between Newberry and
Trenton, which for years has been re-
garded as one OF the very worst in
the county, is now having attention.
A large force is engaged in cutting
,rightof-way and laying rock between
Newbery and Tyler, and people from
that section report more than amile
of rock already laid.
The old road from Tyler TO Trenton
will be abandoned soon. as a new
rieht-of-way is being opened between
these points which will afford much
better source Of travel, probably saw
ing some distance.
The people OF Newberry and Tren.
ton are determined not to be outdone
in the matter OF good roads, and a
wonderful revelation viii be made
within the next few months.

MENT OF SCALE.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 1s.-The
strike of the United Mine Workers
OF Wyoming practically collapsed
today. Miners in the northern part
OF the state are returning to work
pending a further discussion of the
wage scale, and 1t is thought that
before the end Of the week every
miner that walked out 10 weeks
ago, tying up every mine in Wyom-
ing. will be back at work.
Seven thousand miners walked
out when the strike was called, but
discomfort at the slowness of the
mine owners and their apparent de.
termination to hold out until the,
won the strike caused the mine
workers to adopt change Of tao
tics.
The men we're quietly advised b,
their leaders to return to work, AM
this morning hundreds applied
their old places and asked to b.
given back their former jobs a
their former wages.
It is understood that the question
OF the wage scale will be taken u,
b. committee Of miners and min
workers next week. Meanwhile
the men will work at the old wage
