mention might be made of the. Wing -

game, with a better cornbination than
their competitors and so deserved to
be the champions of the evening.
A Moccasin Dance, free to all pre-

splendid music was supplied by Vern

The only item of the whole even-

one of his own team, he fell, injuring
his head and neck. Dr. McLeod was
called and he was taken to his home:
