day and particularly elaborate program
of motorcycle races and ball game be-
tween the Pitman ushers and the Clay
ton teams have been arranged for the
afternoon. Admission to these events and
to an open-air vaudeville performance is
to be free.
The days program was officially be-
gun this morning with concert by Clam

resumption of the numerous machinery

picnic since II opened Particular inter
