won the senior events after nip

which until the ski Jumping took
place in the afternoon had a shade
the better of the contest. The final
score was Harrington So. Smith "a.
Williams q. The score in the Jun
ior events was Webster 43, Lincoln
%, Williams II, Smith 10, Earring
ton II.
An Innovation was the Introduction
into this meet of a series of graded
skating events which were held at
the Cony High rink. The contests
there were very fast and closely
fought and proved especially inter-
esting The remainder of the events
with the exception Of the ski Jump
ing. were conducted in the field on
Stone street just across from the
Cony High school. The ski jump
ing was held at Ganeston Park. the
seventh and eighth grades jumping
on the big jump and the sixth grade
on n small Jump which was con-
structed nearby. The Junior divi-
sion comprised the fourth. fifth ana
sixth grades and Sthe seniors the
seventh and eighth grades.

school will hold the Gannett pan
ner. which is a pernetual trophy TOT
the Junior division. and the FAR
