Last spring a tract of land about a block wide and a block and a half long was purchased for the benefit of the schools of the city. It was used for the first time this year for football and is rapidly being transformed into an ideal play-ground with tennis courts, a baseball diamond and such equipment as is suited for children of the grade schools. This is the first time that the schools of Abilene have had an athletic field of their own. ltJD.4,'z5z, .mQ.'b'm2.Ta
