With such yells ringing out in the
shrill, concerted falsetto of groups of
a hundred or so girls each. the third
annual athletic carnival of the public
school girls of Newark vas successfully
conducted last night in the First regi-
ment armory before a crowd of $500
people. Central Avenue won the ma
jority of points, thirty-seven in all;
Franklin came next with a total of
twenty-three points: Bergen Street and
Hamburg Place were tied for third
with twenty points each, n South
Eighth Street 20 fourth place with
fifteen points. There were six events
in all. of which the cat bag relays,
the potato races n the spectacular
chariot races were the most interest
ing.
In running off the oat bag relay, an
event comparatively new. the contest
ing teams lined up in parallel lines,
with hands appraised. the girl at the
head of each line having in her hands
a sort of overgrown bean-bag, filed
with oats.
When the starting pistol was fired,
the bags were passed rapidly down the
ines of appraised hands to the end
girl of each line. AS soon as she re-
ceived the bag the end girl ran for a
specified distance-about twenty-five
yards, touched a line, and a back to
the head of her line, from which posi-
ton she started the ball down the line
again to the girl then on the end. h
process, was kept up till every girl on
each team had had a nance at run
ming with the ball. The Franklin
school team won this event.
Even prettier than this event was
the chariot racing. -Four girls formed
a Chariot in this contest. With
linked arms each team ran TO the END
of the course, rounded a stake with a
sort of ''snap-the-w whip motion, and
was back again at the starting point
in a jiffy. The fun came in at the
turn. for on the slippery foor of the
armory the footing was not very Sc
cure. The Central Avenue team, which
won this event, ran a most creditable
race.
Principal Elmer K. Sexton, of the
Central Avenue School, was in charge
of the arrangements of the evening
The starting, pistol was fired at .
o'clock by DR.. Addison B. Poland, SUI
p~erintendent of schools. and from h
time on the games were kept up con-
t~inuously until $50 o'clock. In order
to expedite matters two events were
run off simultaneously SO that the lit
tie ones who were in the games, and
others who had come to see the games,
might get home at a reasonable hour
The scoring system also was very ef-
hcient and worked with commendable
smoothness. The summary:
