    Brooklyn Field Day. Two Thousand School Children In Various Athletic Exercises. Patterned much along the same lines as the recent Field Day demonstration on the Athletic Green in Central Park, in which 10,000 public school children contested in the newest styles of school athletics. Brooklyn yesterday held a similar event in the annual Field Day of the Vacation Playgrounds Association of Brooklyn at Brooklyn Athletic Field. ... Source: New York Times; August 20, 1913, Wednesday

  • John Horowitz said:
    I had no idea this game used to involve actual wheelbarrows. When did wheelbarrow races change to using children walking on their hands?
  • Wystan said:
    Well, they probably phased out the barrows after the first several bloody impalements on those rigid slalom spikes . . . .
  • skillful north said:
    Probably phased out when people no longer owned wheelbarrows!
