According to the Rev. G. E. Amaron,
president Of the French Protestant college
at Springfield, Mass, there are now about
500, 900 French Canadians in New England
and NewYork and 100000 in the United
States. This number is rapidly increasing
both by constant emigration from Canada
and from the great number of children,
generally ten or twelve, to be found in
every family. Of this number about 35,
600 are Protestant. The rest are intensely
Roman Catholic. OF late years there has
sprung up among these French Catholics q
great number of societies of men. In
Lowell alone there are probably 1000 men
enrolled in them. In 1890 there were 217
of these societies, with membership of
81 1886. Every year all these societies send
delegates to State convention and every
other year to a national convention.

They are ranged in sides, the white and the red
At the end of the area farthest from the screen

each side to throw its balls into the goal. This
throwing is done by means Of an Implement
called the wanda slender bamboo three
feet in length, with a tiny net at the end
The balls are picked up in this net
and slung toward the goal. This would
probably be very tame, but there il another
provision, which is that players of one side may
