Waterville, Jan. 16.-The events of
Saturday at the Waterville Winter
Carnival were run off on perfect
day with an unusually large crowd
OF spectators on hand to support the
various contestants. The morning
events were in the high and gram
mar school division and they furnish
ed some very fine competition with
several of the finishes being unusual
ly close. The team from Pennington
High School showed up very well by
taking the majority of the high
school events which were open to
them. With but five men they took
first in every event in which they
entered with the exception of one
skaiing event. They took ski and
snowshoe events and placed in the
remainder.
The contests among the students
OF the Waterville schools were ex-
ceedingly interesting and the winners
were rewarded with ribbons for the
first three places. In all, thirty eight
prizes were given out through the
courtesy Of the merchants of water
vile who cooperated to a great ex-
tent with the carnival committee.
The feature of these events was
the remarkable jump made in the
ski event when Joe Gurski leaped
over twenty four feet further in
winning the event than the victor in
the intercollegiate event on Friday.
The three main features of the re-
mainder Of the day were the two
hockey games, one Of which was won
by Waterville High when that team
nosed out Lewiston by q single point
and the other when the st. Jeans
aggregation won by the same mar
gin from the Colby College team. The
other feature was the performance
of the Noteworthy brothers on the
ice when they ave exhibitions in
speed skating. barrel jumping and
eluding twelve pursuers picked from
the boys of Waterville.
