The Nenana daily news., 1919-06-14

was made certain last night at a meeting of the general committee by the adoption of a program of unusually attractive features and the apportionment of prize money in such a manner as to insure spirited competition in the many revents which will make up the two day entertainment. The details in connection with the celebration will be attended to by special com mittees, which were appointed by Chairman Mcdonald, at the con- clusion of the three-hour session of the general committee.
 The biggest prize of the celc- bration will go to the tug of war contest and the committee is hope ful of making this event a feature of more than usual interest, with several teams entered in the con- test. As a means of arousing in- terest in pulling, a permanent plat form will be erected immediatly near the foot of 4 street, and equipped with all the paraphenalia that goes with a tug of war The outfit will be left there for use of those who care to try their strength and will become a permanent fix ture of the town, for use at future celebrations.
 The cost of the tug of war para phernalia will not be taken from the regular celebration fund, if i. lis possible for the committee to make other arrangements. Several substantial subscriptions have been promised already for this special feature and it is believd that sub scription lists placed about town will bring in the balance of the money needed. The cost of the pulling platform and other para ple-naiia complete will be less than s100.
 The prize agreed upon by the committee for the tug of war is $50 to the winner if there are only two teams. If there are more than two teams, S1O0 will go to
 the winner and $50 will go as second prize. The contest will be limited to forty-five minutes. Jack Bellerby will have entire charge of this feature of the celebration. ] The second largest prize will go
 to the winner of the motor boat
 race, the committee having decided
 to arrange a handicap contest so as
 to include all the boats on the river. The race will be over a twenty
 mile course and the prize will be
 s100 added money, to be awarded 1 in such manner as the entries may determine. This feature of the celebration will be arranged by a

 The sum of seventy-five dollars
 will be distributed among the ball players in prize money, providing
 satisfactory arrangements can be
 made for a game between two local teams. Fifty dollars will go to
