Shaoffw'* Park to KwtortaJn The
l>i vpl<>|iini; rulriitls.
Although the skies glowered, and
at times great big drops of rain
fell just before 10 o'clock yester
day morning, the ardor of the
Skagway kids was not dampened,
and when the special train for
Schaeffer's park pulled out of the
Broadway depot there wa* a good
ly representation of the young Idea
as well as a number ot the grown
ups ready with their picnic baskets
for the day's outing
With one accord trials and tribu
lations were forgotten, and one and
all joined in tho spirit on the oc
casion, and the result of the Fourth
o'July picnic is chalked up in the
amials of history as a greal big
success
Ppon arrival at the park the
committee in charge of the affair
started things by announcing the
"button sewing contest," to he the
first order of business, and from
that timp on it was one round of
good natured strife to s?e who
would carry home the honors to
gether with the cash priz<?s.
The result of the various con
tests are as follows:
Button sewing contest. girls
from S to 11 years. Ksther Frieden
thal 1st. Birdie Selmer. 2nd (Jirls

prires respectively in the shoe
race.
The little Misses Rogers and Dil
lon won the sack race for the 5 to

spectively

I >as Vegas, Tex., July 6 ? The
fight for the World's heavyweight
championship between Jack John
son and Jimmy Flynn was pulled
off here yesterday before an im
mense throne of fight fans, and
from the start it was clearly evi
dent that the Puebio fireman was
at the merry of the big black man.
The referee cautioned Flynn in
the second round against butting,
but he paid no attention to the
repeated warnings, and the police
stepped in and put an end to the
fight in the ninth round
The stopping of the contest by
the police was merely made In an
ticipation of the inevitable result,
as Flynn was no match for Johnson
Immediately following the inter
ference by the police, the referee
gave the decision to Johnson
Kmorson Rodcers came in first and
?second respectively, and in the 8 to
1 1 year class Vincent Mulvihill and
Freddie Rlanchard finished 1 and 2.
and for the 5 to 8 year old girls,
Vivian Talbot and Klizabeth Dillon
came in under the tape first and
second.
Miss Ann) Hopper and Miss
Klsio Dillon in the 1 <>0 yard dish
for 16 year old girls took the first
anil second prizes.
Kddie Friedenthal and Kdward
Liddicoat demonstrated that they
could pick tip potatoes as they won
1 th<< potatoe race
The team composed of Friedentha
and Royal won first money in the
pick a'bark race while Liddicoat
and George Dillon were content with
second place.
The ladles who were on the com
mittee having the lunch and other
matters in hand deserve great credit
for their able and painstaking assis
tance, and to them is due to a
great extent the entire success of
the affair, and if any child, or
grown up either, left, the grounds
hungry, it was their own fault, for
there was a v most delicions and
plentiful supply of everything that
goes to make lip a regular picnic
lunch, from lemonade to ice cream
The hall garde was won by the
team composed of lH>c Parker, l?
Gutfeld, Rill Pledsoe. George Ra
puzzi, George Dillon, Arthur McKay, I
Roy Mulvihill and Rett Parker. The1
losing team being made up of Fried
enthal, Weste. Gntfeld, Mddlcoat.l
Rodgers. H. Mulvihill, Stan Dillon I
and D. McKay. The game was,
called at 7:30 o'clock, and was a

swings at his opponent, while j
Rivers succeeded in putting lefts
to Wolgast's face twice, and Wol

groin Rivers doubled up, but hit
Wolgast a hard right to Jaw which

scious. and gave him the decision
