COUNTY FIELD DAY
TO BE HELD MAY IL.

The committee which has in charge
the arrangements for the Annual
County Field Day met in Absecon last
Saturday afternoon and selected Sat
urday, May II, as the date on which
the meet should be held this year,
with the provision that in case of
storm it should be held on the follow
ing Saturday. An offer was received
from Hammonton to hold the Field
Day there again this year, in connec-
ton with a May Festival that is to be
given bv the town, and this offer was
accepted.
The athletic events will be practi-
cally the same as those held last
year, and will be in four divisions:
for High School boys, HIGH School
girls, Grammar School boys, and
Grammar School girls. The annual
singing contest between the choruses
of the various schools in the county
will be held at Hammonton on this
same day. 1t is hoped that everyone
be bearing this date in mind; this
is the Third Annual Field Day of the
county. and the event should be more
a success with each succeeding year.

Trains upon trains poured into tee
