cited by Mrs. Parker. During the
fourth annual tour the orchestra
travelled 3 times across the state,
a total of 5000 miles, to play 1870
concerts. This included 73 social
concerts for children, an appear
ance before the General Assembly

the purpose of organizing, sponsor
ing, managing, and directing ath-
Atic teams, contests and events

and education and recreation for

NE opinion that the association
SHOULD embark upon an enlarged
sdhletic program for greater Mar
Ssn, and plans are being made to
put a large program into effect
For some time, there has been con-
siderable speculation in and around
Marion as to whether it would be
possible for Marion to support pro-
feszienal baseball during 1850. Lea
Ese directors have met with repre-
Ssntatives of the larger industrial
Paznts located in Marion and Nc
Bowell county in an effort to obtain
szpport fer this organization. The
ef6eers are pleased to be able to an
Hsance that these large industries
hive agreed to help support the
brsader recreational program as
sutlined to them by officers of the
Marion Recreational Association. It
was, pointed out, however, that if
