Punishments were meted out with Impartial severity se-verity and tho fun of being arrested was short lived. Most ft tho latter days of the camp were spent In athletic events In which tho big swimming contest and the mimic battle rank first. Both these events wero held Saturday. Ogden boys took a prominent part In "both of these contests. Throughout the camping period a record of each boy's behavior was kept. This record Included his man ner of personal conduct as to courtesy, court-esy, cleanliness and everything that might effect the general welfare of the camp. An Inspection of each boy's tent was made every day and this inspection proved that the youths from Otrden kent thnlr tnf In fhn best condition of any group in the state. Mr Fisher tells of tho rivalry which grew up between the boys of Ogden and Salt Lake City.
