The windsor County play festival
and athletic meet, pursued by rain
for four consecutive years, won out
this time, and the fifth annual held
on the Woodstock fair grounds last
Saturday was grand success in in
terest and attendance 1t was big
day for the Windsor County Y. M.
G. A. committee, under whose aus
pices the sports and pastimes are
held, and as showing what can be
done when the sun shines it means
a bigger and better meeting next
year.
Fifteen hundred people, men,
women, children, very small child
rem and babies, were on the grounds
during the day, and there was every
sign of enjoyment in the days do
ings on all sides.
The morning program, from 8 80
to IL, was given up to entertain
ments and games for the children.
There, was a rest room for the young
est, in charge of Mrs. A. B. Wilder
and Mrs. e. A. Spear, and there was
every convenience for the comfort OF
all visitors.
voLLEY BALL TOURNAMENT.
There was much rivalry and in
terest in the girls volley bali tour
nament, Woodstock High entering a
stronger team this year, but Ludlow
triumphed again, the score below
showing the result of the contest.
Woodstock defeated Windsor, but
was put out of the running by the
Springfield team. which was in turn
beaten by the athletic young ladies
from Black River Academy.
The fly casting tournament was
new feature this year. and as it took
place at some distance from the
center of activities of the day it was
overlooked by many visitors on the
grounds. Eight of the semi-experts
and some who were not experts at
all, were on hand, however, to throw
the line for the entertainment of the
audience, and the demonstrator, Mr..
G. ii Highly of New York city, gave
an exhibition of interest, though on
account of brisk wind he was un-
able to drop fly just whore he
wanted to,Sand could under favorable
conditions. George e. Mann of
Deweys Mills won the cup for the
longest cast.
SPRINGFIELD TRAP SHOOTERS WIN.
The trap shooting tournament was
watched with interes from the grand
stand and by crowd near enough
to smell powder. The sport is grow
ing in popularity here, and it will
be still more of feature another
year. \
Jack Tanning, once champion
of the world at the traps, was on
hand to give an exhibition, and Mr..
Darton, of the Marlin Firearms
company, was another demonstrator
of much accuracy of aim,
The Springfield Gun Club sent
up capable team to shoot against
Woodstock, and the local clerks
team made creditable showing con-
sidering that the members had not
been in active practice this season.
From noon till | o'clock was the
picnic hour, the w. CT. u res
taurant serving lunches to those who
came unprepared.
DANCES, DRILLS AND INDIAN FIGHTS
The ground back of the grand
stand made fine theatre for the
festival features in the first part OF
the afternoon. large audience,
seated and standing, loudly applaud
ing every event. Woodstock's juveu-

Unique Affair
(C1ntributed)

Original ideas are the rule and
not the exception at Union College
and the reception given to the facul-
ty and senior class last Friday
night by the Chemistry Class fully
sustained the well.merited reputa-
ton that the institution bears for
originality. The reception was held
in the Laboratories and lecture room.
After the guests gathered, they were
entertained by some striking and
beautiful chemical demonstrations
performed by Prof. Ports. Next
luncheon was announced. This was
served entirely in laboratory glass
ware, while the tables were dI essed
with laboratory appurlenances, the
doilies and napkins being circles OF
filter paper. The lavors were tiny
A >ks ut. II with various brilliant
colored liquids Considerable amuse-
ment was caused by the ones who
we're compelled to drink their choc'
olate from tall test tubes. The
luncheon was dainty and the origin
atty of the service added zest to the
occasion. After leaving the tables
the guests adjourned to the chemi'
cal laboratory where they were init
lated into the mysteries of such
chemical experiments as toasting
marshmallOws aud popping corn
over Bunsen burners, blowing bub-
bles, etc. The evenings entertain.
ment was brought TO close by a
mystifying chemical experiment
performed by Prot. Ports in the lee
ture room in which a fountain OF
red water was made TO play into a
lain inverted bottle, the wafer turn
ing to bright blue as it emerge
from the JET. This entertainment
speaks well for the originality and
ability of the Chemistry Class, The
members are as follows; tesrle
Basin, Rertha Norris. Kathleen
Sullivan and Walter Jarvis.

Hon. Caleb Powers
a Friend to Labor

1t is very important that a great
Commonwealth like Kentucky shall
be represented in Congress by man
Of ability and influence, and it is
particularly so to the interest of Ia
Dor that such a man shall be friend
" TO labor. Congressman Powers
represents the Eleventh District, and
he has always manifested a most
friendly interest in the labor cause
and is entitled to the support and
cooperation OF all who have the
best interests of labor at heart.
In public and social circles he is
prominent and popular, his name
being regarded as the guarantee OF
the success of any undertaking with
which he may he identified, and we
truly hope he will be returned to
the Sixty-third Congress. He is,
fortunately, a member OF one of the
powerful and important committees
OF the House OF Representatives
The Committee on immigration and
and Naturalization. This commit
tee has more to do with legislation
affecting labor than any other com
mittee in the House of Representa-
tives. Mr.. Powers is an influential.
faithful and active member of that
committee; and his record in behalf
OF labor is, indeed, gratifying 10 the
great army OF laborers in this
country. In respect to labor Mr..
Powers practices in Washington
what he breaches in his district.
Would thar there were more such.
The Trades Unionist, Washington,
d. c.
We are glad to note that Congress
man Powers is standing fatiootedly
by the cause OF labor. His own
hard experiences certainly ought to
make him a friend TO the under dog
