The Sliding Contest.

The Boy Scout sliding contest was
held New Years morning in spite OF
the rainy weather and though but
eight scouts were present to enter,
the races were good ones. About a
dozen spectators braved the snow
and rain to see the finish of the
races.
It was impossible to hold the ski
races as there was not sufficient
snow, but the sled events were car
ried out as scheduled. First place
in the contest was won by Harold
Clifton and second by Ray Flindt.
There were three events, sliding for
distance, place and against time. In
these races Harold Clifton won two
|firsts and one third. Ray\Flindt got
fourth in one event and third in
each of the other two. The other
points were widely scattered. .-.
1t is hoped that later in the Win
ter an exhibition contest may be
held when the weather conditions
are more favorable, both for contest
ants and spectators, but the New
Years contest will count as the Of
fetal one.
