big annual athletic carnival and
field day games at Wiedenmayer's

this afternoon.
Yesterday the standard" events
were contested, and about 1000 bud
ding athletes from the several public
schools in the city competed, each
eager to capture a silver button, which
meant one point for their school,
figured according to the proportionate
school attendance. Several of the
schools in this city have a larger en-
rolment than others, so points gained

largest percentage will be the winner.

chance.
