‘Dorhipion Day WAS. celebrated
in. Hazelton: on - Wednesday for
the ’steenth time and it was an
ideal day all around. The weath-|.
(é@r man was. particularly good to
the ‘Athletic Association. ‘There
was a fine shower the day. before
that laid the dust and cleared the
atmosphere find Dominion Day
was a perfect day.

The sports -program was very
good and provided much enter-
tainment, The running broad
jump was a tie for first place,
Dr. Large and Pete Spooner each
jumped 15 feetllinches, Inthe
next jump Pete beat the Doctor
an inch and a half. The New
Hazelton ladies got revenge for
their defeat by the Hazelton tadi-
es on May 24th... The teams were
evenly. matched and the ladies
put up one of the best exhibitions
of a long hard pull ever seen on
local grounds. The New Hazel-
ton girls finally won. 1n the tug-
of war for men New Hazelton

again won, but in faster time.
Winsby of Hazelton won the op-

- fen, 100 yard dash from P, Spooner

by, a hand. Hazelton won the

; relay. race by a nose and in the

ladies race: Mrs. Hindle-defeated
‘Mrs. Thornton by a shadow. The

. The concluding event’ of’ the.
afternoon was the ball game be-:
tween the. married. and. the. single
men of the two towns mixed up.’
It was good and the spectators.
got many good laughs at the an-!-
tices of the. old stagers andthe -
auperior airs of the’ young bueks.:

As the score only indicated the

side favored by fate it is imma-.

music was supplied by Mrs. A.D.
