From the November 1917 Rotarian magazine:
Lancaster, Penn.:Twenty-one members of the Lancaster Club motored to Harrisburg to take part in the annual Field Day at the inter-city meeting of the Lancaster, Reading, York and Harrisburg Rotary Clubs. The Lancaster Rotarians came off with flying colors, winning first place in most of the events. A pretty feature of the day occurred at the luncheon following the contests when President Fraim of the Lancaster Club presented to President Buchanan of the Harrisburg Club an immense red rose. At the moment President Buchanan accepted the rose, a spring was pressed which caused it to open and release two white pigeons, symbolic of the president of the International Association. William A. Brinkman of Lancaster was responsible for this stunt.
