Fairgrounds
Develop Tennis
In All Sections

The Washington playground
department has done more for
the tennis game in the National
Capital among boys than amy
thing else. Courts are placed on
the grounds and the children are
allowed to play on them.
In most of the Fairgrounds
there are two courts. and even
then 1t can be seen that they
cannot accommodate the crowds
that wish to play. The play
ground department has not the
funds to provide more. Tennis
is now taking q strong hold
upon the boys.
A sample of this can be seen
any day at the Fairgrounds.
Boys wait one to two hours for
a court that they may occupy
less than three-quarters of an
hour. RacQuets are furnished
free and also balls. In a few Of
the Fairgrounds 1t is necessary
to take a deposit. That is the
fault of the boys. Many Of the
best players have learned their
game on the playground tennis
court.

The Sponge and the Lemon So
By JUDGE WILLIS BROWN

our purpose. We never thought it
possible TO draw crowd SO big that
we could not take care Of them, but
such was the case, for two four-horse
loads that arrived very late from the
southeast part of the county, were
obliged to return without even getting
a smell of corn coffee.
There were many funny incidents
during the distribution Of presents. .
Among the first to receive presents
was man who was handed down a
fine rocker, worth at least 81; and the
next one received a tin box of healing
salve with the salve. removed; then a
quarter sack of flour was handed down
to good, worthy, working man, who
had sickness in his family, and a
shout went up from the crowd for
him. One maiden lady, not yet fifty,
received set of fine steel horse shoes
while the next, man, had to be salts
fled with pounds of brown sugar.
One doctor drew his own pills, while
Republican was given a years sub
scription to the Medina Sentinel for
his next years reading. One very
proud young man drew jumping jack
while his lady friend had to be content
with chunk of shaving-soap A fine
manicure set was handed down to a
rough handed stone mason. But the
climax came when Fred Emery then
clerk in Mr.. Bachtel's store in Me-
dina, drew up to the stage with his
lady friend both holding up their tick
cts to be read, and a big stone churn;
with old-fashioned wooden dasher,
was handed down to Fred. His best
girl reached up and received pair of
blue overalls, the very articles that
Mr.. Bachtell had donated. The mass
of humanity was so dense about this
smiling, blushing, young pair, that
they had to stand right there for some
time before they could gel
out, hugging the big churn
unable to set it down ,and sht
waving the blue overalls in triumph
on high. One man bought dozer
tickets for So, evidently as an invest
ment, and he received, all told, abou
$175. worth of presents. Well, w
didn't hear of any one being sorry, bu
himself.
/ No pickpockets were ported, br
, evidently there was practical joke
near at hand. We had considerabl
trouble in keeping those in fror

form. Finally we told the crowd that
the stage must be kept clear 50 We
could get around and secure the pres
ents to distribute. The sound Of this
order had hardly died away in the hall
when tall fellow in frcnt gave a
howl of pain and with bound placed
himself squarely on the stage right I,c-
fore the display racks. One Of the
committee shouted:"I tell you we
can't have you up here,' whereupon
the fellow replied: my dear sir, ]
don't want to be UP here, but if you
had the experience with hat pin on
the southwest corner of your body as
| did just now, you would want to get
somewhere very quick" We all felt
sorry for the poor fellow, for he could
not sit down, because, he said his
feelings were better when he stood"
There were no real casualties, but
we did get little scared once, when
an aged and feeble man, Samuel S.
Logan, father of S. ]. Logan, tainted
in the hall and had to be taken out
through window and lowered to the
ground. He revived in the fresh air
and toddled off home, believing it a
better place for him than at Johnie
cake party.
At about three o'clock the presents
had all been distributed, the people
were rapidly leaving for home, and the
Mallet Creek Corn Festival had raised
the necessary $3.50 to complete the
needed amount for the purchase of
stone and to lay the walk we had work
ed so hard to get.
1--WE had the Johnnie cake and had
the fun, and turned the trick that brot
the mum, and the Corn Festival was
declared a thing Of the past The
stone was purchased at once and laid
by Mr.. Crowfoot of Medina.
The next year after seeing what a
fine walk we had procured, the town.
ship trustees laid another strip from
the church to the cemetery, giving
our little town of Mallet Creek ap-
proximately 100 rods of Berea flag
stone sidewalk.
We have always realized that the
success of the novel corn festival wa:
due largely to the loyal support giver
by the Medina business men of tina
time, and made it possible for Nal
let Greek to have the first stone side
walk of 80 rods. Hence, we owe t.
them a lasting debt of gratitude, whic
can never be cancelled.
