Show UTAH COPPER FIELD DAY PROVES TO BE GREATEST EVENT IN YEARS Thousands of Workers Unite at Liberty Park and Enjoy Festivities. Mines Department; Wins .Important Exeats with Exception, of Tug of War. Magna Loses Ball Came. Another link between Employer and Employee was soldered Friday of last week at Liberty Park, when the annual Utah Copper Field Day was observed by more than five thousand workers and their families. "Supers," "Shifters" and bosses mingled with the rest of the folks, and a spirit of good feeling made itself manifest throughout the day. The Mines department won all the sprints in handy fashion, and had but little trouble in winning the ball game, but the coveted honor of winning -fhe Tug of War had to be postponed for another year, as the Mills won this event in two straight attempts. "Cabby". Buckle won the hundred yard .dash,, while, Pete Dow of the Mines department had very little trouble in getting first money in the 220. The relay was a cinch for the Mines. The relay team was composed of Dow, Buckle, Whiteley and Papworth. The ball game was a cinch for the Miners, the final result, 14 to 9, showing the hilltoppers to be unbeatable. Buckle registered two home runs during the game. After the game, supper was enjoyed by the huge throng, after which pictures were shown at the park, from where the crowd went to Cinderella Gardens, where the evening was finished with a dance, with music by the famous Fisher Orchestra. Not an accident marred the day, and much credit must be given the committees in charge of affairs for the way in which the many events were handled. Everything went along with clock-like precision, and schedules were adhered to throughout. Probably the real feature of the day, as far as the Bingham Canyon people were concerned was the efficient way in which the Bingham Stage Lines handled the crowd from this end of the district. On Thursday evening eve-ning preceding the eventful day, the stages carried out no less than 300 persons per-sons and starting at 7 the next morning, the great throng from Bingham Canyon was starting on its way. It is estimated that more than 700 were sent to Liberty Park from this end on Friday, thus making a total of over one thousand handled by the Stage Line. That they were prepared to care for the huge multitudes was shown by the efficiency during the trips home. Stages started home early in the evening for those who did not care to trip the light fantastic, and for those who did remain until the dance was over, ample room was saved. Stages caring for the late arrivals left the Utah metropolis as late as 1:30 a.m. and it is claimed that during the entire day NO ONE was forced to wait a single minute, cither to get to the scene of the festivities, or to get back home again. In other words, the service getting to and from Bingham Bing-ham Canyon on Utah Copper field day, was better than if there had been street cars handling the people, for it is a known fact that one must wait once in a while for a street car. The Bingham Stage Lines are to be congratulated con-gratulated upon their great effort. The executive committee which represented the Mines department for this great event included C. W. Brady, Chairman, G. B. Covey, Al Higby, ., JNed Gaythwaite, and Jack Robertson. , |
