The B. A says he is going back, as
there is mighty fine cook at Wal
brecht's. The main event in the sports
was the fat mans race, and the bar.
tenders surely were out for first prize
in the event. H. H. Hays, one of the
trustees of No. 8, was the entry from
the bartenders and all the boys had
their money on him to win; but, unfor-
tunately, he stubbed his toe on an empty
beer bottle just as he was about to win
the race and the fall that Hays made
at any picnic. The impression he made
when he hit the ground is still to be
seen at Dome Rock. Medical assistance
was rendered by the committee in
charge. and after receiving two doses of
the liquid Hays was ready to lick anq
one on the grounds. Bro. NJ. Heimerman
entered the prize waltz and the lady
he danced with says he is a grand
dancer; he only stepped on her corns
three times. II. Birmingham is there as
walker. He set the pace for the b. A.
during the walk to South Platte. The
B. A. says he is going to put his money
on Harry to beat anyone in Denver
walking five miles. William Brandt Of

the grounds.
