 from Watertown. The day was spent 

 with various sports, one of the principal 

 and most enlivening features being a

 opposite sides of the river, Moliners pre- 

 dominating in the Illinois team. The 

 score stood 16 to 7 in favor of Moline.

 oughly satisfied with the entertainment 

 and voiced their appreciation of the ar- 

 rangements, which had been in charge of 

 Arvid Anderson, florist at Overlook.
