(By John W. Lyman) A gallery of several hundred assembled at polo field number two on last Friday -to witness the Gymkhana, under the direction .of Clarkson Khame. Tho g^tnkhana proved one of the best features of the sports * week during the entire bi-c^htennial celebration. In fact at proved the one event in which everybody had a real good time, there being no strain on j the nervous system to enjoy it. Mr. Rhame, who likes to entertain others as well as being entertained, put on eight events, all of which did not lack for entries. The feature was the mule polo game. The "iStand-stillers," captained by Senor Lamberto DePass, assisted by Senors Georgio Little, Jr., I Carlos Villepiguo and Mortie Boykin,' defeated the "Never-sta-rts" by a score of 2-0. El Capitano "Lambo" DePass proved the ,hero for his side,' | smiting the polo ball some mighty^ swats when his questionable thorough- . bred mount carried him within reach of the ball. 'Senor Little did plenty! of riding but little hitting, while Senor Villepigue was of the impression that a forward pass would accomplish more yardage than pushed | with a polo stick. Senor Boykin juet j stuck 'round striking out from right J to left at anything that went past him. It was a strenuous game throughout, those four questionable ( poloists proving so 'ard to 'andle that ] referee Balding was forced to prolong his rest time between the periods. I Kirby Tupper, -the "Mulberry, Flash," was a double victor. In both the balloon and pin race and the egg and spoon race, the elusive Mr. Tupper came off with first prites. Capturing a bride was not difficult for so handsome a wooer as Raymond Woolfe, and espeoially when 'he chose such a Lady as Miss Page Lewis. \ Mr. Woolfe knows his Lohengrin wedding march 'of "Here Comes the Bride." Charlie DuBose took the polo ball race and Karl Lightfoot the mule steeplechase. The colored boys were not to be denied some of the fun, although they produced perhaps more than they received. Catching the greasy pig required some slick work, as tho "porker" was harder to \old than a forward pass on a rainy day. Climbing the greasy pole was also a job that i required patience, good grip and plenty of old clothes. , /. Auxiliary To Meet I - All members of >Leroy Belk Post, No. 17, American Legion Auxiliary, | are urged to attend the next meeting to be held at Legion HaU, Friday, April 7th, at 4 p. m. Miss Etta Skipper, of Lancaster, state preeidentj of -the auxiliary will be honor guest of tho afternoon. Hostesses will be Mrs. John Whitaker, Sr., and Mrs. R. M. Kennedy, Jr. H [ Card of Thanks I wish to thank the many friends for their kind expressions of sympa-. thy, for the flowers contributed and their attendance at -the funeral and* j burial of my husband.
