Grow in Popularity.

An effort has been made during the
past two years to establish the custom
of holding an annual field meet to be
participated in 10y the pupils of the
public schools of the county. Last
year the effort was barren of results,
but this year considerable interest was
aroused among the various schools of
the county, add most interesting and
successful programme of contests was
carried out. Now that enthusiasm has
been aroused, and a spirit of friendly
emulation awakened, it is expected
that these events will be a feature of
the annual school terms.
The meet this year was held last
Saturday, at Riverside, and good
sized representation was present from
Oroville. The visitors returned home
Sunday, and were profuse in their eX-
pressions of praise for the treatment
received through the hands of the hos
pitable citizens of Riverside, and high
