Years Ago in History

110 Years ago – June 5, 1913

A.F. Buckingham of New Woodstock cleaned up in the Memorial Day motorcycle races at Watertown, taking the two 10-mile events as well as the 5-mile race.

In the second 10-mile contest, Buckingham was pitted against Frank Hall of that city as his chief competitor.

Hall has been the holder of the Northern New York championship for the past two years. A fall spoiled his chances to winning but he gamely kept on to the finish.

Buckingham was taken there with the intention of defeating the riders of other makes of machines, there having been an intense rivalry between dealers for weeks.

In the 5-mile race Buckingham defeated Stanley Cornell of Canton by about 50 yards in 6 minutes 36 seconds.

In the first of the 10-mile contests the New Woodstock rider won out against Cornell of Canton and Ladd of Carthage in 13:28 ½.

The second 10-mile event was won by Buckingham in 12.24. The races were the features of the afternoon’s program.

On June 27 the Thespians will give an out-of-door presentation of “As You Like It,” as it was originally intended to be portrayed.

The stage sets will be placed on the school lawn with seats for the audience grouped in a semi-circle around in true Elizabethan style.

Queen Elizabeth with her attendants, courtiers and ladies in waiting will be present, giving a touch of royalty to the atmosphere. Refreshments at little tables, between the acts will be served. We know this will be greatly appreciated.

After the play, a good orchestra will furnish music for dancing in the gymnasium. This is the last social event of the year, and is given as a farewell to the seniors, being the Commencement play.

We hope the people of Cazenovia and vicinity will take this opportunity to aid their boys and girls to shine in the making of a lasting and beneficial club.
