AFARERELL BANQUET.

The complimentary banquet ten
dered to Harry L. Heald, formerly OF
this town, at Thayer's hotel, Little
ton, by the Cohashanke club, on
Monday, April l, was one OF the
most enjoyable social gatherings
which has ever been held at that
hosiery.
Beautifully arranged tables, dainty
viands, good music and a merry
company, combined to honor the
guest of the evening, who is leaving
to make his home at Topeka, Kan
sas. much to the regret of his many
friends in Littleton.
Many were the expressions OF
esteem showered upon him during
the course of the after dinner speech
es. and President Dunlap had the
pleasant duty of presenting to Mr..
Heald a substantial token OF the
Clubs estimation in the shape OF
$50 in gold, with which it was sug-
gested that some remembrance OF his
Littleton friends be purchased. Mr..
Heald's response was most touching
and appropriate as he thanked his
friends for their expressions OF regard,
After the speeches pleasant halt
hour was spent in the parlor, where
4oodbyes were said to the young
guest, who it was hoped by all
would be as successful in his new
home as he has been in Littleton,
where his law practice had grown
10 considerable proportions.
Another farewell reception to Mr..
Heald was that given by the Unitar-
ian Society, when about seventy
people were present. General Cruit,
on behalf of the society, presented to
Mr.. Heald fine field glass as part
ing gift. His friends were not going
to part with him altogether, so they
bound him fast, and proceeded to
shear off locks OF hair to keep as SOU
venirs. This barbarous operation
over they expressed their opinion
that their hearts would never be
healed.

BASKET BALL GAME.

The basket ball team of the Water
bury Y. M. c. A. played return bas-
ket ball match with the st. ] ohns-
bury Y. M. c. A. team on Saturday
evening, resulting in score of 5 to Q
in favor OF st. Johnsbury. The Wa
terbury team gave pretty exhibit
ton of Indian club swinging before
the game was called. The first half
of the game resulted in 4 goals for
St. Johnsbury. The visitors, al
though they played a good game,
were very weak on throwing goals,
while the town team with Abbott
and Stiles were particularly strong
in this respect.
In the interval of the game In
structor Knowles and Armbruster of
the Waterbury's gave an exhibition
of their skill on the parallel bars, re-
ceiving much applause for their diff
cult and pretty feats.
Both teams, in the last half of the
game, played with great vigor. The
home team secured one more goal.
The visitors had many chances for
goals but did not succeed in putting
the ball in the basket. This home
team had three fouls called on them
in the last half of the game. The
game was very lively and interesting
to watch throughout. Knowles and
Armbruster then performed some
bard feats on the vaulting horse.
which were duly appreciated by the
audience.
No sooner was this finished than
the electric lights turned to electric
darks and prevented the Waterbury
team from showing their skill on the
horizontal bar.
After the game the visitors and The
home team with their guests, includ
ing the Mahogany Quartette, met a
the Association hall, where ban
quet had been provided by the gen
crosby of the Ladies Auxiliary. AT
ter this was discussed, the Mahoga

WHILE ALL THE WORLD WONDERS

1t is stated that some people at Long

beroism and sacrifice, with rabbit hunt
or drive. This would certainly seem to
be most appropriate observance of the
Fourth OF July. The spectacle of a mob
Of daring men and boys, supper ted by
u score or two OF intrepid hounds, pursu-
ing with wild abandon and reckless
bravery whole army of maybe a dozen
and possibly two dozen dangerous, man
devouring jack rabbits, will stir the blood
and quicken the pulse of all whom a
kind Providence may allow to witness
the perilous. death dealing engagement.
When the wires shall speed the news from
the field OF carnage to a waiting, breath
suspended world, it will thrill the heart
of humanity with a thrill that will 90
vibrating down the corridors of time nm
til lost in the illlmitabless abyss of
unfathomable eternity. And when
the grandsire of the future shall
rally the boys and girls around his rheu-
matte knee and with glistening eve and
eloquent language tell the old. oft-told
tale of the era of suffering, danger and
achievement that followed the adoption
of the declaration which made the Fourth
of July memorable. he will conclude the
recital with the statement thac all that
was then endured and accompli shed was

NARROW ESCAPE ALL AROUND
A Young 1an Steers His Wheel Into Team
of Horses

Running over persons. or nearly scar
ing the life out of them by close shave.
is one thing and to run over big
transfer wagon is another, as a bcyclist
by the name OF Mclean now knows. OF
the two, the former is preferable, for it
osts less and also it hurts much less.
Yesterday at 8 am. Mclean came sailing
down Spring street and turned suddenly
while still going at rapid rate of speed
into Second. He brought up against one
of the Los Angeles transfer teams disas-
trously. A serious runaway was prevent
ed only by the ,oolness and nerve of the
driver and two pedestrians who assisted
him The cyclist. AS soon as the entan-
clement had been stra ightened out, pick
ed himself up ana then plrked up the
remains of his wheel. The chances are
that breakneck speed in down town
streets is not 50 much thought of as a
pastime by one young man as it was.

Another Kick rlade About the transfer
Imposition
The following communication is one Of
many similar letters which The Herald
has receevd. General Manager Wood
should give these things his attention.
The railway employees are. as rule, po-
lite and courteous, but few OF them are
outrageously impudent and insolent. If
the patrons OF the line cannot get justice
from the management they should send
their complaints to The Herald and they
will be investigated and published:

ing the time to visit the superintendent
