All In Readiness for the Opening of Boys’ City.

The fourth annual encampment of the Winona Boys’ City opens July 25. W. Henry Collisson, business manager of the enterprise, says that everything is in readiness. The city hall has been freshly painted without and within. The dining room and kitchen have been remodeled and are now ready for the hungry boys. The baseball diamond and the tennis courts are to be put in condition for the players in a few days. The canal leading to the ploys’ City is now open for navigation. The reports from the various camps that expect to be there this summer are favorable, information from Mr. Garrett, director of the Boys’ Ciiy band, is to the effect that he will have one hundred boys in that organization this season. The political pot is already boiling furiously. There are four candidates for mayor, two of them being from Chicago and Rensselaer, which cities will rend large delegations to the park. Muncie, not to be outdone, is making a strong fight for its candidate. Among the many new features at City during the 1910 encampment will be a choir of thirty boys from the leading Methodist church of Muncie, under the direction of Mr. McKinney, assistant of Mr. Garrett.
