The opening day at Jenner’s Park
last Thursday, June 10th, proved a
: very successful affair, though the day
j opening gloomy and cloudy kept large
numbers from attending for fear of
rain. However, the day was ideal
for comfort, keeping Old Sol shaded
from view and making the day on
the grounds most comfortable. The
Ashton cornet band, and by the way
a very good one, rendered acceptable
music, the amusements and games
in full blast and the large crowd in
gala attire and happiest mood. The
most notable event of the nay in the
amusement line, was the basket ball
game between Loup City high school
team and Litchfield lassies.which was
won by the former by a score of 43 to
7. The high jump contest was woi
by Miner of Ravenna at 5 feet arm
1 inch, with Claude Hurt of WiggU
Creek a close second at 5 feet. Ofchei
amusements, appropriate to the da.',
were pulled off. pleasing to the crowd.
The pavilion was crowded witli the
lovers of the dance, who made merry
till long past the hour of midnight.
It is always a fact that when an\
amusement or a park day is scheduled
by Jenner Bros, a good time is bound
to result and last Thursday was no
exception. Many new features have
been added and each year sees the par k
steadily growing to be the best in
the state.

I they are wont to serve meals at 15
to 25c. the boys paid $1.20 each for a
very ordinary dinner, and this was
but an example of the instances of
graft practiced everwhere. If this is

I tendency to keep many at home, who
otherwise would like to visit the
great Yukon-Seattle Expo.
