MRS. sAwYER's NATURAL HIS
TORY TALKS.

Mrs. y. c. Sawyers series of natural
history talks opened yesterday at the Con
gregational chapel, the first address being
delivered before an audience of 80 or more
interested listeners In opening she touch
ed upon zoology and its important place as
branch of study, speaking briefly of the
organic and inorganic worlds. The repro
duction of all life from some form of egg
was spoken of, and a description of the va
rious kinds OF eggs, from the lowest form,
mere cell of protOplasm, to the highest
type, the egg of the hen, was given. The
development of the chick in the egg was
shown by charts and drawings, and the
elements furnished by each part of the egg
toward the life of the chicken described
A talk then followed on the lowest form of
life, as seen in the amelia, a simple proto-
plasmic mass. and the next higher form,
the fOramneters, whose minute shells form
the chalk cliffs of England and other SINH
lar formations. After these the sponge
with its manner of budding and grow
ing, and the Jelly fish and medusa were in
tereStingly considered. The talks have
opened most promisingly, and those which
follow should be heard by a much larger
number. They will prove of great value
TO those who are teaching, and told as they
are in simple language, with numerous IL
lustra.ions. they can hardly fail to be OF
much interest and profit to the children
for whom they were especially arranged
Young people in large numbers should be
found in the chapel on the occasion Of each
address, for they would be beyond doubt
both entertained and instructed. The sub
iect of Mrs. Sawyer's next talk will be
The flower garden of the sea, and the
series will take the forms of life in the ris-
ing scale of development up through the

IN SIX ROUNDS.
Here Is sporting News for YOU which Is
Worth Reporting.


Bratteboro is surely coming to fame.
In fact, we think she has already got there.
She has had several booms in this direction
within few months, and now to cap the
sheaf she proudly points to a prize fight

as a final claim to distinction. All day
Wednesday the air was thick and murky
with rumors of the impending contest and
Wednesday evening anxious devotees
roamed the village environs in desperate
effort to "catch on" But the show didn't
materialize. The match was said TO
have been declared off and the anxious
ones, not on the inside, were thrown off
their guard.
Sometime last evening it began to be
said on the street that "the barber had
licked the tinman in six rounds" For the
details of the match, the public are left to
rely on very vague and uncertain rumors,
and on such alleged facts as the principals
choose to divulge. Briefly stated we are
led ito believe that Ed McKinnon and
Jack O'Neil put in six rounds with four
ounce gloves, for scientific points, and
in "strictly friendlywa The ten spec
tators were divided in their opinion as to
the merits of the contestants but the referee,
