cidentally raise the debt of 500
that still remained on their new
gymnasium. When it came time for
the parade people began to pour into
the town from all directions and a
well filled church listened to Chester
A. Garratt, Esq, of Honesdale, de-
liver an address to the veterans of
the surrounding country.
Immediately after dinner the
athletic carnival began. Charles
Hooker of Milanville won the 220-
yard dash and a silver cup in the
event for boys under sixteen. The
open race across Cochecton Bridge
had so many entries that it seemed
necessary to run the event in heats
but when the starter called the roll
only six contestants appeared. Guy
Reilly of Cochecton won the silver
cup by a good squirt on the end.
The boat race was one of the finest
of the day. 1t seemed to be a very
even match until the end when Rus
sell Pethick pulled away from his
opponent and won by only two or
three lengths. The half-mile race
was won by Merle Bogart, of Ursinus
College. There were no entries for
the tub race. The time was not
taken in any of the races. DR.. b.
l.. Tyler was starter and Rev. T. E.
Meyer, Henry Balhrer were judges
at the finish.
The ball game resulted in victory
for Damascus. The game had been
arranged between st. Joseph's Col
lege and Damascus. The game was
cancelled only four days before
hand, st. Joseph's wishing to dictate
who should play on the Damascus
team, having been walloped a week
before by the score of II to 4 (the
first time in four years. they de-
manded that three substitutes be
put in or they wouldn't play. Da-
mascus, naturally, wishing to show
up its best team on Decoration Day
arranged a game with Callicoon, n.
Y, town team. The visitors played
good ball, but couldn't do much
with Reilly and 10y. A lost ball
netted them three runs. The score
was 90
The Senior Glass presented the
amusing short comedy 'Ici On Parle
Francois" in the Baptist church
that evening. The staging, costumes
and Dorin's orchestra of Honesdale
helped to rub off the amateur feat

The commencement exercises
brought the same crowd back again
on Friday evening. Many came
early knowing the condition the
previous night so that by 1880 the
cnurch was packed. All were at
their best. Miss Sheard delivered
her Grafton with a conviction that
the country girls natural advantages
are far superior to those of her less
fortunate city sister. Miss Mosher
in her arguments for woman's suf-
frage presented the matter clearly,
earnestly and cleyerly. Mr.. Greene
pleased his audience to the very last
one and gave the most forceful ad-
dress that was ever heard in Da-
mascus. With his easy manner,
good humor and wonderful power as
a speaker, Mr.. Greene drove what he
had to say directly to the hearts OF
the people. Some of the people may
differ from Mr.. Greene in their poll
tical views and the reason for his
defeat in Damascus may be as he
said himself mot that the people
love Homer less but that they love
Teddy more" Nevertheless they
look up to him as a man of sterling
integrity and good judgment and a
man who in his broad activities has
brought as much honor to Wayne
county as any other man. The Or
chestra once more distinguished it.
