WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 35, 1922 TLS ILE 36 HATA CANA Large Crowd Turns Out for First Annual Event; Win- netka Wins Relay DUCK RACE AMUSES Holden Anderson Is Winnet- ka's Champion More than two thousand people witnessed Winnetka's first annual water carnival Sunday, July 30. The ideal weather and the perfectly smooth water helped make the event a success. Among the events which were of great interest, the relay race for the north shore championship was one of the most thrilling. The Winnetka team, Holden Anderson, Melvin Vee- der, John Dewar and Paul Corbett were victorious over the Glencoe and Wilmette teams. The duck race and the tub race were among the most amusing events. The swimming races and the fancy diving events were among the best seen on the north shore, frequently bringing much applause from and giving thrills to the enthusiastic crowd. The pushball contest between teams representing North Winnetka and South Winnetka was a hard fought and exciting game, the southsiders finally winning after a spirited fight. The carnival was sponsored by the park board and managed by Tom Gon- ser, to whom much credit is due for the success of the affair. Tom Robin- son, Northwestern's swimming coach officiated at the carnival and added his presence and activity. Owing to the success of the carnival this year, another will probably be held next year.
