Carnival, would not have been pos
sible. Such an excellent list as were
made possible by the Dutch windmill
and ski slide, the toboggan slide and
the Gannett grounds, was made pos
sible through the whole-hearted en-
thus:asm and cooperation of the
''kink- pin"

ting but three seconds and two
thirds, with the winning team in the
relay race composed of two girls from
the Harrington and one boy from the
| Smith schools.
The events were run off in the field
! east Of the Gannett residence and
| north of the Norwegian sports house.
They began promptly at o'clock and
| were conducted as fast as possible
that they might not delay the other
events.
! There were 10 races in this event
and they proved that there is some
good material in the grammar
schools which with more practice will
make it interesting for those people
from other towns who compete in
future Augusta Winter Carnivals.
The final event, the obstacle race
was the comedy event of the meet
The boys started at Western avenue
ana they had a hard time to get GO
ing. They finally made it however
and then they ran into barrels which
1t was necessary to pass through
skis and all. to win. The Hallowell
boy reached his barrel first and
/ cssayed to navigate it. Whether a
nail was left in the Darrell or what
the cause was is not known but he
was still trying to get through that
barrel when the other team was clus-
tered around the scorer, COLLECTING
their ribbons. The course also in
| GUIDED horses over which the girls
We're caused to go. but this was done
easily, the barrels being the hardest
part of the race.
