All children under 15 yoars of age were down stairs under the manage ment of one of the teachers.

The one . that re ceived the most points in this contest was to get a very handsome picture. Points were as follows: One point to the one that peeled the pdtatoes the fastest and one point to the one that carried their potatoes on a knife blade from one chair tO*ifc&ther and back again the quickest. There were three that tied for this prise and it had to be drawn for. Mr. Hugh Jones was the lucky one and received the picture.
