WINNERS OF GREAT FIELD MEET
Award of Individual Gold Medals, Eight
Other Medals and Silver Cup to
Mineral Point.
Public School Notes.

One of our very busy weeks is past.
Our year in rhetorical work has been
very satisfactory. Two years ago, our
first year in the work, we won third
place in the league, and last year sec
ond place. This year the work was
changed and the girls and boys con-
tests were kept separate. We won
first place in each contest and appeared
in the district contest at Platteville for
the first time This in itself is consid-
cred quite an honor and we were proud
of both our speakers, Ulmont Healy on
Thursday evening and Henrietta Kane
on Friday evening, both of whom stood
well up toward the front in the estima-
ton of the judges.
Thursday evening nine schools We're
represented Cuba City, Rewey, Prair-
lie du Chen, Mineral Point, Arena,
Spring Green, Viola Blanchardville and
Benton. Rewey was given first place.
Friday evening ten schools were rep
resented - Plattevile, Spring Green,
Hazel Green, Ontario, Linden, Mont
fort. Mineral Point, Viola, Prairie du
Chen and Arena. Spring Green was
given first place.
The track and field meet Friday aft
ernoon was more satisfactory In this
we receive exactly what we earn and do
not depend upon so many uncertainties.
There are more definite rules for de-
termining who is winner.
Only five schools entered this year
Dodgeville, Rewey, Viola, Plattevile
and Mineral Point.
There were eleven events besides the
relay, first place counting points, sec
ond points and third one point. The
relay, in which four boys run mile,
each quarter, counts 10, and 2, but
does not count for any particular boy
toward winning the individual gold
medal.
We won rs points out of possible
III Frank Stone earned % points,
the eDy winning the individual gold
medal. His nearest competitor was
Swancur, Of Viola, who won Is.
The winner in each event was sup
posed to receive a silver medal. but as
a number of gold medals were pur-
chased and engraved for a meet be-
tween tie normal and some other school
and as the meet never came off, we
were obliged TO use up the gold medals
this year.

In the bali game Saturday morning
Mr.. Culver played as We were playing
tha Normal school. The game was full
Of surprises. Two home runs, one by
James Knight and one by Mr. Culver,
were among the exciting events One
lof the most remarkable things about
the game is the way the boys recovered
aud almost won the game after the
Normal boys were - to our T. The
final score, 10 to II, shows that if the
game had lasted few minutes Longer
