BIG DOINGS
LABOR DAY
The Program of Sports
Provided Will Amuse
Everybody

one OF the most interesting events to
be pulled off on Labor Day will be the
yacht and motor boat races under the au-
spices Of the Everett Yacht Club. The
start will be made from Everett about
the middle of the afternoon and the lin
ieh line will be off Langley. Many en-
tries are being made for these races and
they should attract many spectators.
The different celebration committees
are working hard to make everything
success and there is no doubt that it wil!I
be the best Labor Day celebration ever
pulled off by Everett unionists.
SiIyana people are planning a big ex-
cursion to Langley to accompany their
ball team which will hook up with the
Langley team. The most exciting event
will be the ball game between the cleo
tricians and the machanists in the morn
ing. Both sides are out for blood and no
quarter will be asked nor given. It may
be weird game and then again the
classy article may be dished out to the
fans as there are men on both teams
that have played the game since they
wore knee pants.
\ varied program of sports is being
provided which will furnish amusement
for all The big Indian clam bake is
arousing lots of interest and the clam
population along the beach Of WILDLY
island will mourn the loss OF many OF
its best citizens after September g.

lunch with them and picnic in real old
fashioned style. Langley affords an
ideal place for family picnic parties.
There is an abundance OF shade and an
excellent bathing beach for those who
like to sport in the briny. Those who
do not wish to carry lunch will be well
provided for by the hotel and numer-
Gus stands that viii furnish lunches
and picnic dinners. The hotel at Lang
ley will spread q picnic dinner under
Meath the trees.

cured is an able one and includes such
well known men in public affairs of the
state as VIM, Blackman, Ex-Labor
Commissioners; Ole Hanson, IA member of
the legislature and an ardent defender
of the interests OF the people; Judge

\ union orchestra of Everett will fur
nish the music for the big dance at
night Many who will be unable to
get away during the day, owing to the
nature of their work will be able to go
over for the ball in the evening, as the
boats will leave the City dock until a
late hour. Boat schedule is printed in
another column in this issue.
To the Olympic club of Langley is due
great deal of credit for the thorough
manner in which they have gone to
work TO make the day a pleasant one
for the visitors. Neither time nor ex-
pcnse has been spared to make the day
one long TO be remembered as a pleas
ant break in the monotony of daily toll
