Show GOOD II AT H I. A. CONTEST. Three Larger Wards of Stake Evince Much Painstaking Care and Preparation. PAROWAN WINS TRACK MEET AND LOVING CUP Cedar West Ward 1h Given Decision in Mixed Quartet Other Contests Con-tests Well Divided. Tho Mutual Improvement Associations' Associa-tions' contest of tho Pnrowan Stake was hold in Cedar City last Friday ev-cning ev-cning and Saturday, ns announced in tho last issue of Tho Record, and proved very ipteresting and instructive. instruc-tive. There were a goodly number of people down from Pnrowan and from other settlements, tho tabernacle nt both sessions being comfortably filled. Tho attendanco was also onorous at tho track and field meet held on tho B. A. C. campus. Tho work, both in tho educational and athletic contests was far nbovo the average, and showed much painstaking pains-taking caro nnd labor in preparation. Tho double mixed quartet, which was the event moBt keenly contested in the list of educational contests, because be-cause of tho fact that it carried with it three places in the district meet, was won by tho Cedar West Ward, tho singers having been coached by Mrs. Ada Wood Webster. It was won primarily becauso tho singers adhered ad-hered closely to tho strict interpretation interpreta-tion of the music as written, nnd did not attempt any modulations or embellishments em-bellishments asido from tho written page, as was done by somo of the other oth-er contestants, whoso rendition was perhaps more pleasing, to,. thecar. . """"Tho" decision for tho athletic nnd flold meet was awarded to Parowan, which carried with it the final ownership owner-ship of the loving cup, this being the third timo that Parowan has won in this phase of the M. I. A, contests, The decision was close, however, and for a timo it hung in the balance, pending the decision of the number of points carried by the relay race, and whether they all went to the winners of first place or were divided among first, second and third, 5, 8' and 1, as in other track and field events. It was finally decided that the precedent had been cstblished of allowing 8 points to tho team winning first place and none for second and third. A? Parowan won the relay race, this decision de-cision gave them the contest and the loving cup. Prior to tho running of tho relay race tho Cedar West ward was in the lead in number of points won.

Thero was only ono entry for the Junior Boys' chorus again this year, this being the Parowan chorus under tho direction of Mr. Lawrence Adams of that place.
