SWIM FIGURES
STILL UNDER 81
Attendance Mark to Be Set,
However, Says Goodwin.

Attendance at the city swimming
pools probably will surpaSs the rec
ord Of last year, in spite of the low
attendance during the first three
weeks of the season, according to
Robert Goodwin, swimming super
visor.
Attendance at the city pools for
the first three weeks of 1882 was
154, 391, as compared to 219,441 dur
ing the same period of 1881.
However, last weeks figures show
that 72,918 persons vent swimming,
compared to 1880 in the same week
Of last year
Totals up to the end of last week
were 227,309 For the first four
weeks of 1881 the total number of
swimmers was 257,401.
In spite of the fact that at
tendance is about $4,000 less than
it was at the same time last year, I
expect this years total to be higher
than last years." Goodwin said.
Last week showed a definite turn
toward higher attendance"

JACKSTONES IN
POPULAR FAVOR
Game Is Weeks Special at
Fairgrounds.

Jackstones! That is the hue and
cry at the city playlots this week.
The game is one of the series of
weekly specials" devised for the
children by Miss Ruth Emhardt, city
recreation supervisor of games.
The children have worn the
bliSters from the swings off their
hands," Miss Emhardt said, land
now are ready for new interests"
Jackstones is the answer this week.
JackStones contests are being held at
each of the city Fairgrounds. Each
winner will receive, as a prize, ma
terial for making jackstones bags.
These are to be made next week I'M
der the direction of the handcrafts
supervisors.
Many of the parents of the play
erS will remember jackstones, the
game in which each player gets five
smooth round pebbles. Rolling four
of them out on an even surface, the
player losses the fifth in the air,
picks up one of the stones, and
catches the one thrown.
The game progresses through
twoS, threes and fours, and branches
into many variations.

Alley Track

Jimmy Demetrius, instructor
at American Settlement play
ground, had to scratch his head
for some time before he could
figure how he could have a
track meet last week.
The space on the playground
lacks some distance of being
long enough for a fifty-yard
dash. And. as for a 100-yard
sprint-well, that would have
to be run in laps.
Jimmy still was scratching
when he spotted the alley run
ming along one side of the
playlot.
A couple of lengths of rope,
found in the Settlement, and
some posts and trees at the
ends of the alley. and Jimmy
had roped off as long a straight
away as he wanted.
His races were run of in five
minutes. Traffic detoure
around the alley without pro-
test or stopped to see the fun.
Thirty-five speedsters COM
peted in the meet.

No Moral Intended

Indiana adds to the mirth of the
nation this week with the pro-
nunciamento issued by John zahnd
(the National party, ousting from
the fold Ward Hiner, its candidate
for Governor.
It seems that Chairman Zahnd,
who organized and runs the party
and of whom the party consists, is
DESTROYS of clearing its good name
from any connection with the
Showboat CASE
So. to bring about this state OF
pristine purity, zahnd has voted
out Hiner, who, it was said, had a
half pint or SO of liquor on his table
when the dance place was raided
Hiner, however, denied that the
red-eye was his, but the party
chairman evidently didn't believe
him and so voted the custer.
The joke, however, is that Hiner
beat the chairman to the punch,
having resigned from the National
party on Dec. 1, while the dismissal
was voted Dec. s.
With the resignation Of Hiner the
chairman now doesn't have to divide
the publicity with any one else-he
is king in his own right. Which
