 bowling contests the prizes were hotly 

 contested, especially among the fair sex. 

 Many a wry face could be seen when the 

 ball rolled down the gutter, in the bowl-

 ladies ' vote. An automobile veil was Won

 won by Miss Evelyn Kennedy. The 

 running race for ladies 25 years and 



^•over was won by Mrs. A. L. Brown. The 

 race for girls under 14 was won by Miss 

 Whitthune. The cake walk was won by 



"Mrs. Brown and her partner, Wm. Henry 



' Kunz.
