Dr.. Henry S. Curtis Com
mentS Upon Good Results
of Tournament.


Curtis, supervisor Of the washington
Fairgrounds Association.
DR. Curtis was much interested in
the tournaments Of last week, and
gratihed at the interest shown. not only
by the children. but by parents as well.
Discussing the games. he said;
The tournaments have all been
well attended by the children who
have been training for them for
weeks beforehand. The skill which
they have shown in the different
events was often remarkable, but the
best thing that has come out of il has
been the almost uniform courtesy with
which the children have treated each
other a matter of which both they.
their parents, and the playground d.
rectors may well be proud.
Parents Show Enthusiasm.
Parents old and young were out in
force and were just as enthusiastic over
tho events as the children themselves.
Indeed some Of them could scarcely con-
tain their enthusiasm while their chill
dren were competing and it was perfect
lv evident TO anyone with eyes TO see
that the tournament was furnishing an
entertainment to the neighborhood in
which the neighborhood felt itself 20 be
vitality interested.
