parents on the nelu ana from oVV ~
500 contestants the first annual field
day athletic events OF the school
children of New Castle county held
on Frazer Field. University Of Della
ware, yesterday afternoon, was
success beyond all expectations. The
attendance far exceeded any esti-
mated that the school officials had
made and every one spent a delight
ful day.
As was stated yesterday the pre-
senting OF the State flags and other
exercises took place yesterday morn
ing leaving the entire afternoon to
the athletic events. Both boys and
girls competed. The officials had
not anticipated such a large crowd
and consequently the athletic pro-
gram was not as we'll organized as 1t
will be another year, but with the
exception of two or three for which
there were no contestants every
event was run off. Another over
sight was the fact that in most in
stances the officials neglected to take
the time and distance of the winners
in the different events.
DUPONT and Newark schools fea-
tured the meet all afternoon by the
close race for first honors. DUPONT
eventually winning out with a total
Of 100 points. Newark being second
with 141. Middletown was third
with SO points, then came Delaware
City with 26 points, Mt. Pleasant T.
Richardson Park 5 and Townsend 5.

time being at the inter-scholastic
