hurt nothing but the attendance. Many |
fond fathers and mothers, who could
have been present Saturday, were un-'
able to be on the fair grounds yester-
day afternoon, but those who We're

children of the grades above the
fourth, and a few adults, saw some
pretty racing and some good pole
| vauIting.
The girls of the different grades,
armed with new songs and cheers,
mostly directed at similar grades in
| other schools, kept up constant bat
! tie of music and noise while the
| youngsters in the competitions attend
! ed strictly to the business before them.

many disagreed with the judges and

/ them both dead heats. Biasi of the
