very difficult problem, but with the
experience of former years to guide
it. the management hopes 1t has sue

changes have been made, though some
of the classes are pretty firmly fixed
a g the schools have been running to-

sent word that they will be on hand.
The addition Of Fridays meet has
permitted the management to enlarge
the scope Of the preparatory and high
school events and quite few new
schools will be found on the list. The
program already sent out shows that
