The Honesdale Skat Club held
a tournament on Sunday last in their
club rooms. Owing to the poor rail-
road facilities we now have, the out
of town attendance was a disappoint-
ment, as many who expected to come
and take part in the tournament,
found on consulting the time tables,
that it would take at least two days
or more to come and return from
their respective homes. But what
the meeting lacked in numbers 1t
made up in enthusiasm and sociabil-
ity. The first prize went to Fred
Michaels; I'd to Leon Katz; Bird to
A F. Voigt; 4th to John H. Weaver,
ana 5th to E. q. Marc Bregstein. All
the prizes were products of the
Honesdale Decorating Co.
