Our purpose was to stimulate mutual interest between the Clubs in our widely scattered domain and to demonstrate the common Purposes and aspirations that bind us together

For various ieasons, the original terms of the contest could hot be carried out fully. But ougrommittee {ound effi-intff Club attendance, with Lansing having a little the best of it in some respects- We therefore decided to award to each of these two'Clubs our prize for a part of the next Hoo-Hoo year.
