The leapfrog relay and the peanut race were th~ two novelty events which met with the most approval of the spectators. In the former the winning par'tners were Bill Holmes and James Baker, first; Paul Soule and Vance Soule, second; Junior Kavanaugh and SteYe Hopkins, third; _ _B_E_A_C_H_D_A_Y __ R_E_S_U_L_T_S ____ C_h-ar-le_s_S_t-yl_e_s_a-nd--M-a-rt-in--H-e-rb-e-:r-1 remarkable vigor and a mind that has IFRIENDS.FETE AGED lost none of its keen perception of earlier years.
