.RECORD-B BREAKING
CROWD EXPECTED
Big Delegations Will Go
From North Lake Coun-
ty to Meet.
LOCAL TEAM HAS LAST DRILL
a Special Train Has Been Chartered
to Bring the Rooters Back
at Night.

Last night the Hammond track team
had its last practice before the Lake
county meet ct Crown Point tomorrow.
and today the students are looking for
ward to the meet with the greatest ,of
pleasure.
Crown Point has an excellent place
for meet at the fair grounds and the
students always look forward to this
event as an outing and a picnic. The
weather is now the greatest concern of
the local school. If it does not rain
and the track remains hard and
smooth there will not only be some
records broken, but Hammond will
stand better chance of winning
If, however 1t should rain and the
sticky clay on the Crown Point fair
grounds track would begin to accumu-
late on the running. shoes of the Ham
mond boys, it is hard to tell what will
happen.
All VIII Go From Here.
Most of the high school students
from the northern part of the county
will leave Hammond on the train
which leaves this city at $40 and there
will be four extra coaches on this
train.
In the evening a special train has
been provided which will leave Crown
Point at about 8 O'Clock and will ar
rive in Hammond at S:35. This is the
only train which leaves Crown Point
for Hammond tomorrow evening and to
miss it will be to remain at the county
seat all night.
A great many Hammond people who
are not high school students will ac-
company the team to root for the To-
Gals and it is expected that they will
be required anyway to help bring back
| the bacon"
Many Go Across Country.
/ In former years a great many of the
local students have hired rigs and
driven TO the county ssat They havs
carried lunches and have made hoff-
| day of the event. It is not yet known
how many students will resort to this
| plan this year.
The high school students all over
| the county were greatly interested in
| the dope" on the meet which was
printed in THE TIMES a few nights ago,
and while they do not all figure it out
that Hammond is winner by such a
large majority, they think the local
| team will win.

Posters Announces Event.
Yesterday the local lodge issued some
novel posters announcing the fact of
the giving of this degree in Hammond.
They were cleverly done and will
doubtless arouse the interest of all
Masons to whom they are sent.
The number of names of those who
are to take the degree being added
to every day. 1t is surprising how
many Masons are being heard of from
unexpected quarters.
It was known that a farmer out on
the ridge was Mason and a delegation
went out to interest him in the new
proct which the local lodge has under
taken.
He Was A Shriner.
Several well known Hammond men
went out in an automobile to see him.
He was told all about the progress the
local lodge is making. He was inform
ed that the shriner's degree is to be
given in Hammond and after the whole
p1 opposition had been carefully explain
ed he was asked If he would not like
to join the class.
The surprise of the callers the farmer
informed them that he had taken the
shrine 20 years ago. However, he was
enthusiastic over the program for next
month and will do all in his power
to help things along.
