ST. BRIDE’S CONVENT BAZAAR

TUG-OF-WAR CONTEST. The pulls last- night decided which teams would reach the finals in the competition. When Stokers took their places to meet Freezers No. 1 a tense silence prevailed, the position being that if Stokers were defeated Freezers No. 1 would meet the winners of P. and T. and Freezers No. 2 in the final. Stokers never left the issue in doubt, and when the whistle blew had the advantage by four inches. Loud cheers greeted the victors, and the spectators were satisfied that the better team had won.

Freezers No. 2 and Post and Telegraph proved a vigorous pull. No. 2 getting the advantage when the clutch was released, held it and won with a slight increase on time.

The semi-final will take place tonight, when Freezers No. 1 and Freezers No. 2 will meet at 0.15. Stokers having drawn the bye, will pull the winners in the final on Saturday night.
