| not so good as has been in some
other years. But in every other way
there was nothing to complain of,
and the committee feels much graft
| fed at the turn of events. The crowd
was one of the largest ever on the
grounds, but the financial returns
gave evidence of much unemployment
in the city and vicinity.
Well Arranged
The crowd was well managed and
the elaborate program, under the
direction of President of Trades
Council Cecil Bowers, chairman, and
his able assistants, was carried out
in fine and smooth working man
ner. The committee is certainly de-
serving of much praise for its efforts.
From noon on the crowd came pour
ing in, until at its peak in the eve
ming it was estimated there were
$4,000 to 10000 people on the ground
And all went home with feeling of
satisfaction over the days events.
Lee Inman and his band gave the
celebration the official kickoff shortly
after noon, and rendered program
throughout the day that was received
with much delight and brought forth
lots of favorable comment. The out
door pavilion was crowded at all
times with dancers keeping step to
toe-tickling music rendered by a 10
piece orchestra The many booths
and games did a rushing business
business throughout the entire day
and evening. The country store,
again under the leadership of John
Rosson, was conceded the best ever
with its enormous stock of prizes.
Though having done a big business
there was still much goods on the
shelves at quitting time, showing the
big stock gathered by Chairman Ros-
son and his we'll trained corps of
assistants.
Boxing Scores Hit
A new stunt for this years affair,
and one that seemed to meet with
much popular approval, was the stag
ing of boxing bouts. There was a
battle royal and cup fight of four
rounds with six colored men in the
ring that proved scream, and two
four-round bouts in the afternoon,
and two six-round bouts in the eve
ming And believe US, they proved
the real article Bobby Hinkel and
Billy Griffith went four rounds, as
did Kid Bitf and Kid Smack Don
Nimmo and Jimmy Monroe went six
rounds, and the card wound up with
Sailor Gratwohl and jim Randall GO
/ ing six rounds. The boxing was fast
and furious and aroused the fans TO
high pitch.
Eddie Mccoy, who knows his busi
ness, was referee. Scotty Howard was
Stanley Ogg was in charge of this
feature and certainly did a fine job
Of it. The feature proved SO popular
and took so well, that no doubt it
will be one of the regular numbers
on the future Labor Day programs.
Dog Show
Another added feature for this
year was the dog show, under the
auspices of the American Legion Ken
mel Club This feature proved popu-
lar with dog lovers who streamed in
during the two days the show was
open. All agreed there never was a
finer collection ever seen in Hamil-
ton than the one seen at the Labor
Day celebration.
Chief Calhoun and his men gave
excellent police service in handling
the big crowd, and the Boy Scouts
ably assisted and for which service
the committee is deeply grateful.
The fireworks were all that was
promised, and proved one of the fin
est displays yet shown on Labor
Day, winding up what is considered
by all concerned one of the "best
