tries and the prizes went to Tommy Me

exciting, although it was not as long as
expected, as many fellows signed up to
take part, but only few of them were
present to take part when it came time
for the contest. -Four amateur climbers
participated, running so feet and then
touching rung in the ladder 2s feet

in 2-5 seconds and Tony Cont in 7-l0
seconds.
The boys race for boys under IA was
won by Bertil Soderstrom, and Fred
Mudgett was second. The race for boys
of IA was won by Donald Houston, with
Ralph Eager second.
The ladies' race was very close one
and to settle the dispute over the first
decision of the Judge the race was run
again and ended the same as the first,
with Mrs. George Milne first and Mrs.
j. A. Murray second.
Ten girls took part in the next race,
which was won by Mary Milne, Marga
ret Wilson and Barbara Walker coming
in second and third. Ten boys entered
the sack race, which was won by Clay

About the last of the sporting contests
was the tug of war, the team of Frank

ing by the three little girls. For the
highland fling daneeJ little Miss Marie
Pirie won the first prize.
