[ROTARY CLUB RALLIES AT CRAY'S BARBECUE

Guests Are Entertained With Many Novel Contests At Edgewood Place.

Casting aside business cares to rally to the inviting aroma of genuine Kentucky barbecued beef and mutton, two score or mors Rotarians, their wives and friends, gathered at Edgewood Place yesterday afternoon as the guests of Saiii Gray. The Rotarians and their guests were invited for 2:30 o'clock until

o'clock but they began to ar

rive shortly after 2 o'clock and it was after six o'clock when they left. Oskar Duenweg, master of ceremonies, was in charge of the aipusements and as usual the guests were given the surprise of their lives. w- The first guests to arrive found 'amusement in the "baby" contest.

Roped off on one side of the barn was a space with a racket at the end. There perched on the racket were likenesses of a dozen Rotarians. The photographs were made by Rotarian Holloway and the body designs, unique in character, were the work of the Rotarian sign painter. The following names for the "babies" were inscribed on the caricatures:

Win Some New Titles.

"Our City Cleaner," Earl Houck "Our Delegate," F. F. Winslo-v 'Mayor of Edgewood," Sam Gray 'The Plainfield Speed King," Harry Cliff "Old Chuck," C. L. Runyan "Our Kernel," William Penn "Safety First," w. A. Braden "Old Hoss," Dr. Mcintosh "Daddy," L. L». furner "Cox With Holloway's Hair," John S. Cox "Also Ran," Wood Posey.

When the crowds had gathered Prof. Duenweg announced the first contest to be a "Queen of the Movies Race" for the women. All contestants were taken about 25 yards down the road and dressed as "Charlie Chaplins." With the Chaplin hats, their Chaplin canes and their Chaplin mustaches, they tried to do the Chaplin walk. Mrs. F. F. Winslow was awarded first prize and Miss Margaret Burns, second. Miss Burns was given a gas iron donated by the Citizens Gas & Fuel Co., and Mrs. Winslow was given a bon 'oon Bet from Bigwood's store.

The second contest was a camel race for the men. A half dozen of them Were made to run 25 yards to a table •where glasses of beer were setting. They were supposed to drink the beer. Fred Fisbeck arrived there first and nearly broke his epiglottis trying to drink the fake stein. Capt. John Budd •was right on his heels. Fisbeck was given aij order on Ed Sparks for $3 in merchandise and Budd was awarded a $2 hat by Bill Cody.

Cannon Ball Race.

The cannon ball race for the women was the next event. The women were required to push, kick or coax inflated balloons for a distance of 20 yards. Margaret Burns was first and Mrs. Mcintosh second. The first prize was an order on4 Wood Posey for $5 in shoes and the second $5 worth of ice cream from the Model Ice Cream Co.

Someone—the committee refused to 'give the name—refused to enter the "sack race" because, of a sore knee.

The contestants, however, were only required to tear open an envelope, unwrap a paper sack within, blow it up and break it. W. A. Braden proved his prowess in this event and was given an order on Weinstein Bros, for $2. Fred Eisher was second and received an order on John S. Cox for $5 •worth of auto supplies.

In the baseball contest, the women wielded brooms as never before and tried to knock a baseball out of the grove. Mrs. Bartholomew won first prize and an order for $3 worth of goods from the Kresge store. Miss Burns placed second and will get $3 •worth of washing done free by the Columbian laundry.

Just about the time that the dellca tessen contest was announced Harry Cliff began passing around two paving bricks wrapped up in paper. The newest comer was always the victim and Earl Houck appeared. He handled the package with the greatest care until he learned of the? contents and he switched them to Col. Penn. Penn was still guarding the precious package •when the party broke up.

Ambulance Called.

The delicatessen contest proved to be the feature of the afternoon. A half dozen men were lined up a dozen paces apart and one side was given eggs to throw to the other to catch. When the word go was given John Cox threw his hen fruit over the head of Harry Cliff and one ot the uniforms of a street car conductor on the East Wabash avenue line was ruined. Cliff retailiated by borrowing another egg. Cox dodged. The hospital corps carried Will Law, a spectator, off of the •field. W. A. Cochran and C. Fred Boyer proved the best team in catching the eggs. Cochran received an order for $1 worth of ice cream from the Model Ice Cream Co., and Boyer carried away some furniture polish given ,by Adamson and Anderson.

The barbecue was served shortly before 6 o'clock and the guests sat down to eat real meat, cooked corn and potatoes. Charles McKeen, Prof. Gillitm and J. T. Gimm, the judges of the

•-contests,

were shunned for a time be

cause of their decisions but when horseshoe pitching was suggested the envy of the contestants was forgotten.

When the sun began to sink over the Wabash, the Rotarians and their guests departed with warm praises for their host.

Before the Rotarians left, however, they presented him with a solid sold Rotary pin set with a diamond. Paul Bogart made the presentation speech. Mr. Gray attempted to respond but the surprise was too great and words failed him.
