strange sights and confusion keep
 the animals in a iittery state.
 l Most unusual sight in SkagWay
 is the clown who keeps the children
 wide-eyed with pleasure and de-
 light The clown, a Whitehorse
 man who walked from Skagway
 to Whitehorse about 40 years ago, was indefatigable throughout the
 whole day in his antics.
 Following tEe parade loud speaker system was set up on
 Foulth Street near Broadway and
 the next phase of the days activ-
 isies was underway. Starting out
 the competitive events was the chil-
 drens parade which was divided into two groups: children under five first, and then the older ones up to 8 years. Seventeen babies in various costumes posed for pictures and behaved admirably until the winner, a little Spanish lady with , big brown eyes, little Belle Camp bell. was announced the winner. Space forbids us going into detail and announcing the winners in all the events which followed until l2.30. but suffice to say, there was not a dull moment and every young contestant was given 6ime. The street was crowded during the program. Mayor Carroll asked all present to stay for the taking of motion pictures of the Shooting of Soapy Smith" by man from the States. The crowd was agree able. and under the direction of Mayor Carroll all present entered into the occasion with a great deal of fun, and Soapy and Reed 10th bit the dust Cand we mean dusU on Broadway under the movie camera.
 An hours intermission was call- cd for lunch after which everyone was invited to go to the ball park for the mems sports and the ball game between a Whitehorse team and the local bunch. About 100 o'clock the heavens opened up and the rain came down in heavy downpcur which lasted until after ?. Then the sun came out and the rest of the day was perfect.
 The ball game was excellent Skagway winning the s25. The game was proceeding very evenly until the last half of the third when the local team brought in seven runs and the visitors were never able to catch up The final score was IS to T. The Whitehorse team won the admiration of all by their fine sportmansnip. The airfield here is covered with grass and is rough and not at all like -hey are used to, but the whole group took the handicaps in their stride and played good game. After the game was over the mems contests were held the visit DTS walking away with most of the prizes. The mems events were a 100 yard dash, free for all; 100 yard dash for men over 30; gunny sack race; three-legged race; mems re- Hay rect team of four) and

 There were also a horse shoe tournament and Fire Hose Race.

 was held at the Eagles Hall until
