gine collided with a passenger train on the

drink of water. and while the engine was
thus deserted the throttle flew open and the
engine being detached from the cars started
off up the track at fnll speed. 1t met the
passenger train, but short distances out of
Clnrksville. The shock of the collision was

P. H. S. FIELD DAY MAY is.
Who the Athletes Are and What They Are
Doing.

This year the field day takes place on
May 18th, earlier by about week than
usual. This change Of dates is made
imperative byl the fact that the Inter-
scholastic meet may come June instead
of June 8, and at least two weeks final
finally picked from the numerous candi-
dates. The prospects this year are pretty
bright. In the 100 and 200 yard dashes,
Sullivan, '97 and Edwards, '96, are still
in the school, and Doughty, '98 and
Marston, '97, two new men, are making
things exciting for the veterans Of sast
years team, as all four are running in.
II seconds. Merrill, 'a7 and Henry Sui
livan, 1913 are showing up pretty we'll in
the quarter, though both are new men.
Dunbar, '97 is running the half mile in
much better form than last year, and
it is safe to predict that the iEterscho-
lastic record 2m. 13 sec. made by him
last year will be lowered quite a little.
Stevens, '95 and Griffith, '97, are running
finely, and on Saturday they did half
in 2.26, which is surprising considering
the the shortness so time they have been
training. Besides these old men, there
are three or four. freshmen learning the
proper caper" in this event. Sinkin-
son, '95, runs much the same as last
year in the mile. New men for this
event are hard to find, though Cham
berlain. LOG, is straining for it. Hersey,
'9S, pushes the shot out to 33 feet with
out much effort. and Dyer, 1885,. is travel.
ling pretty fast in the walk. The ham
mer tempts quite few men, and Dyer.
'95, will probably win that too. Somers,
'95, jumps in a practice anywhere from
90 feet to 20 feet 10 inches, and says he
will do better by and sby. Perry, '95
and Foster, '97 both have vaulted over 9
feet this year in the pole vault and there
is still month or more of training. In
the hurdles, Sullivan, '97 and Doughty,
'98 are showing to best advantage in the
2. 20 yard low 2 feet inches contest, and
Perry, '95 and Stevens. '96 will have
quite fight for the high jump. and
the record should move to feet 2 in
ches at least. The standing high jump
brings ont some new men who are new
to patrons of High School track events.
Foster, '97, last years centre rush. and
Merrill, '97. The bicycle race will prove
more exciting than ever, (if this is pos
sible), and whoever wins it will have
to ride pretty fast. Turner. 81 and..ka-
lor. '96 are the only member OF last
years team in this race. Besides the
new men mentioned by name in the
events there are about as many more in
training for these races

Company's mills. for the purpose of con-
sidering the advisability of the town tax

Mr.. Hodsdon who heads the call for
the meeting is a mem her Of the commit
tee of public improvements of which
Mr.. Hammond is chairman. Of course,
in matter of this kind all are not of
the same mind, aud today's smeeting
some Opposition to the proposed action
is expected. Friends of the measure,
however. claim to he confident of carry
ing Etheir point. Tney argue that the
time has come when it is necessary for
the town to have system sof water
works and this is the best way to get
it.
