on the ball grounds as a conclud
ing feature of the morning’s pro
gram, proved very exciting, especial
ly for the pig and for Tom Mathews
the hero of the chase.
The greasy pole, one of the fea
tures of the afternoon program, de
tied the many contestants who en
tered for that event. No one wa
able to reach the top. But the at
tempts which were made to “shii
the slippery sapling” furnished th
crowd with much amusement. Th
slippery boom, another "greasy'
feature which was to have beei
staged during the afternoon, wa
eliminated from the program, owini
to lack of time. There were als.
other changes in the program, som<
events being stricken and other
added to the list.
TUG OF WAR.
The tug of war proved a ver;
exciting feature of the afternoon’
sports, notwithstanding the fact tha
the two teams entered the contes
•without preparation. The pull last
ed the full 45 minutes, the limi
set by the committee, and was wo;
by the Lemon Extractors, eaptaine.
by Martin Nash and composed of th
following: “Big Alee" Timeroff, an
chorman; Louis Douzet, John Sol
ger, Willie Xoggi, Frank Lopsides
Knut Koland, and I Nelson.
The opposing team, captained b;
George ("Sure Shot”) Kennedy, an.
known as the Moonshiners, was mad
up as follows: John Ouellette, an
chorman; Ed Jem, John Swedal
Gus Erickson. A1 Johnson. Joe War
go, and H. Pearson.
The teams were named by And;
Hoev, of the Terminal, who wa
largely instrumental in getting th.
men together. The match was di
rected by Jack Bellerbv, who ha'
charge of that feature of the ceie
bration.
HANDICAP RACE.
The handicap motorboat race
with four boats entered, which too]
place Saturday evening, was woi
by the Douse launch Victory, whici
carried off second honors in th.
free-for-all event of the night pre
vious. The Anderson boat. Fair
banks Kid, winner of the free-for
all. took second money in the handi
cap. The Kid had a handicap o
dight minutes, but gained rapidly o:
the Victory during the first lap am

approximately, until the end of thi
race.
The other boats entered were thi
Johnson launch Peerless, with ;
start of 12 minutes, and the Gilehe:
