SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
THIS EVENING
• --
The laudable effort of the school
children of Nome to make that famous
old landmark, the Segerstroin and
Ha^en clock, a permanent possession
of the city, will culminate this even
ing in an elaborate entertainment,
which is expected to provide .sufficient
filnds to purchase the big time piece.
Preparations, directed by the teach
ing staff of the school, have been in
progress for several weeks and an in
teresting program of seventeen vocal
and instrumental numbers, drills, reci
tations. etc, has been evolved, which
will be rendered by representatives of
all grades.
An additional feature of interest
will be the awarding of the valuable
prizes hung up for those who submit
the closest guesses regarding the time
the big clock stopped today. The
guessing contest was inaugurated early
in the week and has attracted much
Interest among all classes, everyone
purchasing an entertainment ticket
being permitted to register a guess
as to the hour and minute when the
wheels of the timepiece would come
Prizes for the ticket sales were also
hung up by the committee in charge
and provoked lively competition
:im nsf the school children engagt^ in
the sale. Something over $200 was
gathered in by the diminutive ticket
vendors before the close of the first
da> of sale, while advertisements con
tributed to the program by business
houses added another hundred dol
larn or so to the fund. As the price
asked is $400, something over three
fourths of that sum is already In‘hand
and the remainder will probably be
forthcoming this evening through ad
ditional ticket sales.
Following is the program of the
entertainment, which will take place
at big Ragle Hall, commencing at

BORDEN CUP RACE SET
FOR APRIL 24
The annual Marathon do* nice for
the massive silver cup hung up by
John Borden, the Chicago millionaire
in 1116 will be run on Saturday; April
24th if no unforseen obstacles arise,
according to announcements by the
Nome Kennel club directors Friday.
The* race will be run as usual over
the Cape Nome course and the distance
will be the regulation Marathon length.
26 miles S85 yards. Prospective en
tries this year will be L Stevenson,
Win Webb. F M Ayer and Leonard
Seppala.
Interest in the contest will probably
bo keen, as the race may decide the
final owership of the trophy. Under
the rules laid down by Mr Borden, the
cup becomes the property of the con
testant winning the annual race three
times. As the Ayer team has an
nexed the honors twice in earlier years,
a win by that entry will give Mr Ayer
final ownership. Leonard Seppala,
the noted Rw'eepstakes racer, has won
the contest once.
The contests of 1917 and 191ft were
won by Mr Ayer in 1 hour. 54 minutes,
46 seconds and 1 hour, 53 minutes, 12
S|5 seconds respectively. Seppala.
who won the race last year, holds the
course record, having made the dis
tance in 1 hour. 50 minutes, 25 3!5 sec
Thc contest will be held as usual
under the auspices nnd rules of the
Nome Kennel Club, which has ap
pointed the following officials.
Judges: J J Keenan. Q R Weaver
and Jake Kristan.
Timekeepers: Guy Mish, Grant Jack
son andW C McGuire.
The course will be measured Fjr.
day and a flag will be posted at the
turning point.
The school children's entertain
ment will be well worth the price of
