It is the first entertainment of the sort that has ever been staged at Terwilliger Park, and success with which the affair was dis patched assures a repetition of the events.

The potato races, sack races and races of all kinds were staged on the paved street that runs through the park. In the potato race for boys between the ages of 10 and 14 years George Wiedemann displayed his superiority, winning one potato. A hillside of femi nine admirers cheered him to victory. Fred Walker Champion. Fred Walker was the chubby flaxen haired lad who ran away with the same race against all competitors for boys under 10 years. Helen Bukowsky cap tured the race for girls between 10 and 14 years of age and for younger girls Luella Wadsworth won hands down. In the 25-yard dash there were a score or more of entries in each class. Johnny Plebuch, for boys over 10 years; Elizabeth Blotzer, for girls of the same age; Ben Gulick, for younger boys, and Gladys Kinnear, for younger girls, were the winners. The three-legged race went to Jim Walker and Carl Rost. One of the features was the high Jumping of Dorothy Swarzbeck. She cleared the bar far above her many competitors. The O.-W.

"Will you have George bring us 5 cents' worth of cat meat?" inquired a sweet feminine voice over the tele phone yesterday. By chance the opera tor had made an error in the connection and City Attorney Carl Wimberly was at the other end of the line. "We don't deal in cat meat here." replied the City Attorney, "although we frequently hand down legal opinions." The young woman then dis covered the error and after pausing for a moment said: "Well. I don't think the cat would eat the opinions they are too raw." Subsequent conversation brought out the fact that the young woman had called a local meat market, but had been connected with the office of the City Attorney. jospttt mnnTi fttveraij SERVICES WILL BE HELD TODAY. ? - i- if s k i if- . t - s j t .y J Ifi 1 f r -jr S , v - j U'-- J : - i rv A v I II- f ! 1 V 'A Funeral services for Joseph Buchtel, who died Thursday night, will take place in the chapel of the Finley Undertaking establishment at 1:30 this after noon.
