CLIFTON’S RULER WINS BLUE
AT THE CAMDEN HORSE SHOW
Between Chukkers
events—that horse show last Sat
urday was a real top-notch affair,
the most outstanding in' Camden
horse show history. Much praise
and commendation should be given
to the group of-worthwhile people
who worked so long and diligently,
to make it such an outstanding
success. ^
And while passing the bouquets
around, a great big armful of roses
to the boys of the Junior Chajnber
of Commerce for the fine gymkhdna
offered at the polo field last Wed
nesday afternoon. U was a well ar
ranged affair and brought out a
bifi crowd.
Regarding this winter sport, prch
gram of horse shows, races, "polo
and the like—we are forcibly re
minded daily that Camden needs a
modem fire proof tourist hotel.
Our hats are-off to Kathleen Watts,
the very efficient and hard-work
ing Chamber of Commerce pilot-,
who is moving heaven and earth
to get local interest aroused along
the hotel line.
Turning to baseball—our hats are
off to a fine bunch of men who
have taken over and assured Cam-
a fenced ball lot and a rep-
tative baseball. club. Qne of
the best bit of news in that con
nection is thkt our old friends, Les
Robinson and Billy Mims, two real
baseball warriors, are to play with
Fond du Lac.
Dick Richards tells os that the
football field will have a fence and
new bleachers neat fall. That is
real news.
And Hal Middleton, high school
band mentor, says his. high school
band will be really tooting and
rooting at all ball games in the fu
ture. Which is of course more good
news. •
Well, the Providence ball club of
the New England circuit will ar
rive next week for several jsreeks
of training at the baseball lot
There being no use of flying In the
face of Providence you’ll probably
see us out at the plant quite
often.
