SEWARD WILL
 HAVE MARATHON
GREAT RACE TO TOP OF MOUNT AIN WILL BE RUN FROM 4th.
 AVE. ON JULY FOURTH.

What promises to be one of the most interesting events that have ever been staged in Seward is the Mount ain Marathon that the Fourt of July committee are planning on pulling off on the morning of the Fourth. The mountain marathon will be a foot race from the flag pole in front of the Bank of Seward to the flag pole on the peak back of the town and back for a suitable prize. Entries will be open to all and it is the present inten- ton of the committee to station judges at both flag poles and the contestant doing the round trip in the shortest space of time will be declar- ed the winner. The choosing of a route up to the peak will be left en- tirely to the contestants individ- ual judgment, all that the committee require is that the runner make the round trip from the corner of Fourth and Adams to the summit and back again. It has not yet been decided as to whether the runners will be started in one bunch or at intervals of about five minutes, but this is a detail that will be settled later It is to be hop ed that this event will become an an nual event and have a place on the program of sports each year as it is an event that will appeal to all of an athletic turn of mind. From the nat ure of the course it will be seen that hunting bear and mountain sheep is the best possible kind of training for such a race.
 Baseball practice is now going along in good shape and the selection of the
