Ho! For Another
Contest With Lancaster. Logan Lawn
Tennis Club VS. Lancaster Lawn
Tennis Club.

The rivalry betwced the two
cities Lancaster and Logan, has
given rise to many contests for su-
premacy both in forum and in the
field. The honors have been fairly
distributed sometimes gained by
Logan, sometimes gained by Lam
caster. In the orato ic0l contest
between the pupils of the High
Schools, Logan won almost all the
victories. Miss Helen purspll a
member Of the class of '02 gaining
the highest grade of all. a Sho t
time ago Elizabeth Dlnsius quietly
picked up the first premium for
figure pointing at the Fairfield
County Fair. We have contested
in horse and bicycle races and
have lost and won and now we
learn that the Lancaster Lawn
Tennis Club has invited the best
players of the Logan Lawn Tennis
Club to play the best players Of
their club on the Lancaster Courts
next week. The invitation is very
courteous, cordial and fri, ndly and
the Logan club will probably ac-
cept the invitation and go to Lam
caster for u friendly social game.
OF course Lancaster will give us
the "cut" but we will try to "return'
it in good shape and "serve
tlem" right, The Logan club is Il
new institution and boasts of not
one crack player. What they
know,they have as college students
picked up from time to time, still
they know, the rules Of the court
and can get into the game once in
q while and no doubt the Lancas-
ter club will enjoy their visit as
much as our club will, and when
on the following week they come
down here, we hope to see estab-
lishel an easy frieldly rivalry
that will be a source of much en-
joyment for the young people of
both cities.

ing for her throughout Cuba. Her
full name was Matilde Agramontc
y Narunu. She was known and
beloved by the pcasantry for her
gentle, kind nature, as well as for
her great beauty. She was II tall
ana graceful girl, with jet-black
hair and eyes, and II pure olive
complexion that told Of the An
dalusian blood that filed her veins.
At the outbreak of the present
war her brothers and cousins bade
her an afTectionate farewell and
marched away to join Antonio
Maceo's army, leaving Matilde
alone on the plantation.
One day on returning from Wis
it she found her property burned
and her servants murdered. a
troop of Spanish guerillas had
ridden across Puerto Principe,
leaving a trail of ruin and desola-
tion behind them.
TO the camp of Antonio Maceo
she rode away, and, seeking out her
brothers, told them that she, too
would bear a sword and fight for
Cuba Librc. And so she douned
the canvas uniform and learned to
WELD muchete.
The soldiers called her Angela
de la Guerra. She first engaged in
active service at Quernados de
Guines. The last battle in which
she fought was fierce one. a fill
clustering expedition was landing
arms on the coast. Maceo, with u
picked escort, was there TO receive
them. Brave soldiers were sent
in advance TO hold the enemy in
check until the arms were ashore.
In the thick of the hand-to-hand
conflict was Matilde dealing
terrible strokes with her machete.
The Spaniards saw this woman,
and called upon her to surrender.
"Death first! Cuba Libre" she
cried.
Then she fell, pierced by - Span
ish bullets.
But they had checked the Span
iards. The arms were landed, and
Maceo came up and put the enemy
to flight.
But their angel is dead, and there
is mourning among the patriotic
NuTTlOIS'
Around the camp fires they now
speak in reverence of her. The
soldiers dug her grave with their
machetes and wrapped her up in
the flag Of freedom for which she
fell.
She was the daughter OF two of
the most ancient and distingue
families in Cuba. For generations
the Agramontes and Varonas have
owned sugar plantations in differ
ent parts Of the island. General
Agramonte, her father, was killed
in the 10 years war, leading the
patriot army into battle.
