The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1922-08-18

| The day was warm, but bright and
with rather pleasant breeze. How
many people gathered to take part in
the celebration we can not say, but
there were several thousand. The only
check on the number is the gate re-
ceipts which would indicate that 1900
were there and paid
The day was not marred by any acct
dents in spite of the army of autono-
biles. Tbs Headquarters Co. policing
was most effectively done. They never
slackened their hold on the reins, and
everybody toed the mark beautifully.
Another comfortable and creditable
feature was the fact that every event
that had been promised was put on. and
at the time promised The people were
entertained, served and pleased The
clay pigeon shoot put on by the Edger-
ton Gun club interested great many,
and there was an incessant rattle of
musketry during the day. The trophy
went to Fisk of Beloit after shoot-off
of tie with Roy Hopkins, Edgerton.
The baseball game in the forenoon
between Edgerton and Fort Atkinson
league teams resulted in score of to
in favor of the visitors, and the af-
ternoon game between the Beloit Fair
les and Stoughton Trucks went to Be-
lott to 5.
The Edgerton Concert band furnished
splendid music throughout the day and
in the evening played concert in Cen
trail park
The airplane was busy all day carry
ing passengers, and its coming here
was profitable to the owners and fur
nished much diversion to the passengers
and the onlookers. The parachute jump
was made without mishap, and the
pilot took his plane through number
of exhibition stunts.
The refreshment stands were we'll
patronized and those having concessions
made neat profit.
A feature worthy of special mention
was the exhibits of automobiles, trac-
tors and motor car accessories by the
T. and T. Motor Co., Edgerton Motor
Co., the Auto Inn, the Buick and the
Shaw Estate. The exhibits were the
object of much interest, and manifested
the possibilities of making the home
coming more than mere picnic day.
1t, of course, ought to be made an
annual affair.
1t was glorious day for the politi-
clans who are candidates for Offices this
fall They were there in full strength
and made friends. Sol Levitan, candi-
date for state treasurer, and Henry
Johnson the present treasurer, seeking
denomination at the coming primaries,
and Phil La Toilette made brief adj
dresses during the afternoon.
The pavilion in Central park with its
music and dance drew capacity, crowd
in the evening. The refreshment stands
here were conducted by the Service
Otrai ACS AOu.
Considering the number of people
gathered from everywhere, the day
passed in most orderly manner. In
big crowd will always be found a fellow
who makes his presence too conspicu-
Gus to be enjoyed by others, and some
auto drivers found that their careless
ness did not pay, but on the whole the
day was credit to the American Lee
gion, to Edgerton and to the visiting
friends.
Especially is credit due to Mr.. Earl
Shaw, commander of the Ralph Amund-
son Post, for the effort he put forth to
make the event and insure its success,
and he was loyalty supported in this
both by the members Of the Legion and
by the citizens of Edgerton.
