The eighth annual King Korn Karnival has passed into history and with a record of probably the largest attendance of any of the successful events of past years and each after noon and evening brought out very large crowds. The Saturday program was inter fered with to some extent by the rain that fell in the early afternoon and dampened the enthusiasm of many, making it a disagreeable time for the rural school parade. The old time fife and drum corps of Omaha were opening entertainers on the program Saturday afternoon and followed by Captain Hugo's leap Tor life from the tower at Seventh and Main streets. A clever tap dancing number was given by Miss Lavonne Hild of Coun cil Bluffs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Hild. former residents here, she being accompanied at the piano by E. H. Wescott. This -was an excep tionally clever number. The rural school parade yas a very pleasant feature of the day. altho the rain interfered to some extent with the handling of the floats, many of which with their delicate colorings and decorations suffered from the ef fects of the rain. In addition to the school floats there were many of the beautiful and attractive floats that had taken part In the Merchants parade out. for the delight of the large crowd, among these being the log cabin float of the E. J. Richey lumber and the Cass county court house, as well as several from other local business houses. The prize -win ners in the school parade were as follows: 1st Dist. No. 5. Marie Thomason.

The evening program was headed fy the concert of the Elmwood band, one of the best that has appeared in the city and under the direction of Peter Gradoville, gave a real artistic program of the best class of music and which was given in a truly artistic manner. It was a pleasure to the music lovers to have this treat afforded them. The Schafer sisters In songs closed the platform program in a very fine group of numbers.

A BP TIGNER WETS IN BOXING TOURNAMENT Korn is King and the grand old King Korn Karnival for 1939 is now only a memory. The young boxers, all the officials and Promoter Kid Graves, all hope these memories are pleasant ones, worthy of remember ing and reminiscing over in the com ing years' interval, until another Karnival boxing show is staged. Everyone seemed pleased with the program and with the exception of the vanquished Gene Lester, who battled valiantly for three rounds against Willard Tigncr but found Tigner too sturdy and courageous to fall victim to his vicious left jabs. which was about the only punch he could use effectively because of a football injury to his right hand. Tigner had a fairly good left jab of his own and with it and a snappy right cross, landed effectively enough to win the award of both judges and the referee. Later in the evening. Kid Graves presented Tigner with a beautiful bath robe which was the reward for his victory, donated by the Platts mouth Business Men's Ad club. In a few well chosen words. Graves thank ed the new Plattsmouth area welter champion for his good, clean sports manlike manner throughout the tourney an:l wished him even great er successes in future amateur tour neys in Plattsmouth and other towns as well. One thrilling event in the K.K.K. boxing tourney was the dusty squab ble between those nine-year-old fisti- cuffers. Robert Chriswisser and Mar ion Schlieske. Marion outweighed Robert about five or six pounds, but Chriswisser didn't let that trouble him. The lads put up a really thrill ing scrap and the judges and referee were unanimous In declaring It a draw. In the final event of the card. Jeff was given a verdict over Mutt by the Komlcal Kop. who refereed their ludicious scrap and when Mutt pro tested the decision, chased the rangy loser up the street and Jeff chased the Kop. In the battle, the par ticipants used a specially prepared set of boxing gloves made of 25-lb. sugar and four sacks, stuffed with a bushel and a half of chicken feathers. Feathers flew in this event and a sack full was swept up off the ring platform after the melee was brought to an end. Promoter Kid Graves has asked the Journal editor to express for him, the thanks and gratitude he has for those who so ably assisted him in making the K.K.K. boxing tournament a success. This includes all the boxers who had a part in it. Alvie Craves, the Omaha referee. George Schmader who was judge on two of the three evenings and referee the second night and Arnold Lillie. local barber who acted as judge on all three nights and his hired man. George Thun. who was one of the ludges on Friday evening. Special thanks are also due Ira Cllnkenbeard, Jack Brlttain and the Komical Kop for their part in mak ing the boxing show "go over."
