Drilling Contest a Dandy.
The non-professional rock drilling
contest that was held Monday was one
of the most exciting ever held IN this
city, and The action of the committee
in barring professionals from the race
is to be commended. All of the teams
that entered were made up after the
contest had been decided upon by the
committee, and hence all started prac-
tice about the SAINT time, and 1t was
a case of personal merit with the nam
mer and steel instead of the. long
practiced team work that makes scme
of the professional drillers such Dan
georous competitors. A great block OF
granite had been brought in from Mon
tezuma mountain, from the same ledge
that furnished the block that was used
during the Mining Congress, an: while
the records do not equal many records
that have been made by the hammer
and steel men at other times. the roek
was tough and tenacious, and SOM
good sturdy work was done. 1t was
"gcod, clean SPORT according to the
statement of the hundreds who wit
, messed the contest, and among these
were many of the fair sex. With broao
backs and sinewy arms barred. some Of
the finest specimens of physical man
hood in the world toiled to drive ihos'
holes in the u%nyielding rock, the lam
mer men working with machire-lk'
precision, and the exchange being mad
in a manner that appeared 10 have IN
aid of magic, If there be such.
The results of the drilling follows
First prize, $300-ierren and Cor
Gun, of the Clermont, Al 1915 inches
Second prize, societies and Hal
rington. Of the Florence. 40 rs inehe
Third prize, $125- Ryan and XVI
