In point Qf attendance,In enthusiasm, in enjoyment, In perfect arrangement, diversity of amusement and all around good time. It has never been surpassed ty any celebra-' tlon In this section of the county. Contrary to the usual condition on gala days the weather was Ideal, the sun shining in all her splendor upon the vast throng of merrymakers as If in approbation of the Joyous scene.Farmers for miles around suspended operations In the hay fields, the minci and the mills were practically deserted, and during the early hours of the day there wag a constant stream of vehicles1 from Lffwlstown, Malden, Gilt Edge and Intermediate points. Naturally the hotels and other eating places were congested at the noon hour, but no complaint was heard from any source either as to the service or splendid menu set forth.The pardde, led by the famous K. P. band, was an Imposing one. Owen McCabe, marshal bf the day, directed the line of march down McKinley avenue and then to the band stand where tb* oration of the day was delivered by T: Latimer of Seattle.Mr. Latimer in a masterful mapnef depicted the labor eondittons In various parts of the country where it has com# Into strongest competition with the corporate class. He depicted the terrible scene In the Cripple Creek district when the miners were detained In bull pens,1, and his words made a deep impression upon his hearers from the fact that he spoke from personal experience, he himself having suffered the Indignities and outrages perpetrated upon the minors during that period. Mr. Latimer appealed to the ■orklng class to stand united for the ™janclpatlon of labor, and declared that he .shall continue the fight until labor shall be free. He expreses satisfaction because the working class throughout the country are beginning to feel the necessity of meeting organised capital on the Industrial and political field by means of organised labor. The speaker was Introduced by Owen McCabe, who made atory remarks.THE BRILLING MATCH.When the multitude had been fed with sumptuous chicken dinners provided by the several hotels and restau-ants. tfiey gathered around the block of granite at the head of McKinley ue, attracted by the band which had stationed Itself on the hillside In anticipation of the drilling contest between stalwart mlpers. Unfortunately there was only one Uarti in reals with sharpened drills, but Gto. Wiegjander and Robert McMillan of Maiden were induced to enter the contest against Bah Foote and Fred Colby by, the Kendall experts.Foote and Colby made first start in the 15-minute grind of strenuous labor, and the clever manner. Ihl few laud-hicb lthout missing1'dock, giving everyone the privilege of seeing the foot raees on McKinley avenue. These afforded a great deal of amusement and excitement. In the 100 yard dash Bubbsy Bullard, Ken-dITs phenomenal sprinter, figuratively speaking, won In a walk. Four feet behind him came E. 8. Herman who took second money.The race for boys under ten years brought forth a string of promising atheletes, Robert Fitzhugh winning1 first money and Charlie Kimball crossing the line a close second.Leah Kimball was roundly applauded when she crossed the line first In the foot race for 12-year-old girls: Evelyn Bertrand came In second.In the ladles' race the judges had difficulty in getting the. contestant started. Sevetat false starts were made and the race was rah, twice be-fbre Wlnnlfred Blackburn was declared the winner and Mrs. Charles Bell second place. Wlnnlfred is a girl in her teens who proved herself too fleet for those slightly past the meridian line of ylt;ftith.** Lee Sullivan won the boys’ foot rate withATrank Dusen second.John Ollphant Is evidently gifted ■1th second; sight judging from th» precise manner In which he directed .eelbarrow against the stake In that Interesting competition.A fat mkh’s race proved a most interesting exhibition. There were thres entries, Barney Bernier, E. H. Campbell and McGee. Campbell became top heavy in the middle of the course and before regaining his equilibrium saw the prize money go a glimmering. Barney, who won first money, generously whacked up with McGee to soothe Ms disappointment upon discovering that 0 second prize was provided.Clyde Winegar and C. H. McLean tied to the running^ high Jump at * feet 9 3-4 inches, winegar won the standing broad Jurtip. 9 feet one inch.THE GUN CLUB. *One of the moat Interesting features of the day, but which attracted few people owing to the counter attractions at the same hour, was the shooting contest at the gun club grounds.Kendall came off with flying colors, w inning the club shoot as well as many of the nllrior events. Cushman, the Lewistown expert, was a less feared competitor owing to the handicap dvr which he was placed, being c polled to shoot from the 20-yard line while the other contestants lined up at the 16-yurd line.Ed Durnen achieved a reputation by taking, a prlxo In the initial event, high gun in the third event, thereby winning the Wilson gold medal, for first place In the sixth event, the same poaltioh In the eighth event, be sides being one of the three highest In the club shoot. By these victorl. achievements, Ed carried away a sung sum In cash prizes and the gold medal, The weather and' the atmospheric conditions were Ideal and had much tofror• felveFor the only fitU:fa arrestedthey changed drillsstroke was cheered lustily by the lt;!o wtth the excellent scores.•d of men and women.

The measui--ment showed- that Foote and Colby had dHllfed 32 15-16 inches; Wleglon-der and McMillan, 24 inches In eleven minutes.The tug of war was the next attraction. This was pulled off near the Kendall hotel, and was proclaimed a contest between Kendall and .the world.As one bystander yjellefi otti: Thistug of war Is Kendall against the worid.

Gallant, third' high guir, secured gentleman s traveling case from Campbell Drug Co.A liberal distribution of cash pri went to winners of first and aecohd money In these events. Messrs. R. W. Jones, William Currie and Smith Hendricks liberally donated refit ments.The great feature of the day was the ball game between Lewistown's crack aggregation and Kendall’s favorites. Long before the hour set for the game, the grounds were dotted with a mot-ly array of vehicles and an excited throng of fobtefrs and lovers of the national game.Lewistown hhd the pick of the best players In the totality seat, and ’with Taylor In the box find Baker with the big mlt, played the game of their liv^s. Parker for thfe Kendall team pitched great ball for eight Innings, notwithstanding restrictldns placed upon him by the mercenary umpire. And, by the way, the absolutely same-manner In which Howsworth rendered decisions favorable to Iris home team was enough to All the 'spectators with disgust. In the sixth inning when the score was seven all,- the umpire made two rank decisions on fouls against Pframmer, which were too much even for the Lewistown players, some of whom admitted the umpire's error. The rank favoritism shown by the umpire Is dealt with elsewhere in this paper.The dusty condition of the grounds as not conclusive to fast and snappy ball and th continued stubborn atti-ude of the umpife ahd the consequent wrangling and bitter feeling engendered put th*~crowd irt anything but amiable rnood. When not engaged In the interminable talkfest, some re-rkably fast plays were made by mbers of both teams. Butler was * star'for Lewistown; Carlton also doing some good work. Lochray, one of the best men on the team, had th*'» misfortune to make An error' which netted Agree runs for Kendall, but his stick work whs simply gnat, Pfrem-tho doughty second baseman for the home team, distinguished himself by making a home run In the second inning, although the umpire roblnd him of the honor hr declaring it a three-bagger only.
