 The foot ball game on the Fair Grounds at Great Harrington on Thurs. day, deserves a mention apart from that given in the account of the Fair. The game was between Canaan and the Sedgwick Institute and was won by Ca naan, score 22 to o. Bah!
 The Sedgwicks were outclassed by the Canaans in foot ball players and the game belonged to the red and black from start to finish. There was no use trying to move that Canaan line and the Sedgwicks gave it up after three failures. The Canaan backs played an exceptionally fine game, Morton being the star. Thomson did great work as the other half; and Capt Dupee played in his usual fine form at full The Ca. naans have .. prize in Chamberlain al quarter and his cool headed work and thorough knowledge of the game were great aid to Canaan. The line was Kent, center; Mcfarland and Beckley, guards; Isabel and Bridgham, tackles Camp and Cudney, ends. A point worth mentioning is that every player on the Canaan eleven has at least one good play credited to him.
 The hard working player of the Sedgwicks is the full back, Capt, Walsh. He was supported finely by Pell, but the clouds were black and red and it was Cansan's day. The Sedgwick eleven were: Goodsell, left end; Walsh, right half; Warner, full back; Brown. left half; Wallace. right end; Knowlton. right tackle; Cowles, right guard; Cook, centre; Wright. left guard; Pell. quar- ter back; Turner, left tackle.
 HOW IT WAS DONE.
 In the first half Dupee made touch down for Canaan and Chamberlain kicked goal. In the second half Nor ton made touch down. goal kicked by Cham berlain; touch down by Thomson, Cham mberlain failed to kick goal; touch down by Morton, goal kicked by Cham berlain. Total of four touch downs Q6) and three goals (6). Result Canaan 22, Sedgwicks o.
 One of the features of the game WAS Chamberlain's fine goal kicking.
