BENEFIT entertainment
WAS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
Great Interest Being Manifested in
Forthcoming Track Meet of
County Grammar Schools

The entertainment given by the
grammar schools of the county for
the benefit of the Churchill County
Athletic Association last Saturday
night was pronounced success
from every standpoint. The pro-
gram. which was made up of selec-
tions rendered by the pupils OF the
different districts, was capably
rendered to the satisfaction of the
large audience. AS the program
was a long one, it would be obvious
ly improper and invidious to pick
out particular numbers for special
mention and commendation.
The promoters Of the track meet
are highly gratifed at the financial
results and state that sufficient
funds are now assured to warrant
them in ordering a large number of
trophies as awards to the victors in
the several events.
Bronze medals will be awarded to
all those taking first place silver
medals will go to any competitor
making a total of eleven points or
more. bronze buttons will be
awarded to those taking second
place. and ribbons to those taking
third place.
In addition to these trc )lies. a
silver cup will be awarded TO the
girl or boy scoring the greatest
number of points at the meet.
Banners will be awarded to the
winning teams in the relay races.
The events will be the same as
last year with the exception that
the &C" class will also fbe allowed
to compete in So and 100-yard
dash and 220-yard run. There will
be relay races for the first, second
and third grade teams. The ham
mer throw will be substituted for
the baseball throw in the boys field
events.
The meet will be held on Friday,
April 2Sth, and already the members
of large part of the county schools
have begun training. The keen in
terest manifested in the benefit en-
tertainment by the teachers, pupils
and parents is evidence that the fifth
annual track and team meet of the
Churchill County Athletic Associa-
tion will be the most closely contest
ed of any previous affairs of this
kind.
