FoRrN1aHrLY CLUB LECTURES.

The subject of scientific, literary or his
torical lectures by professors from neigh
boring colleges, on the university extern
sion" plan, has been several times agi-
tated in recent years, but no experiment
has been made. The complete method of
an organized working centre, taking notes,
reading collaterally, passing examinations,
and receiving degrees, may be matter re-
motely future. But the value of the lee
lures seems plain. The Fortnightly club
expect to make a beginning in having a
short course of two lectures, Dec. 20, and
Jan II, at the Centre church chapel, at
1880 p. NJ. Zach lecture will last one hour,
and be followed by a half hours oppor-
tunity for questions. The lectures will be
given by Prof. John NJ. Tyler, professor of
biology in Amherst college, whose brother,
Prof. Henry NJ. Tyler, has often preached
here, and who himself gave an address on
Bacteria" before the Natural History So
ciety some years ago, TO the profit and in
terest of a large company. The general
subject will be "The whence and whittier
of man." and the special topics, first, 1.-THE
process of evolution" second, "The law of
survival"
The price of tickets, which can be had at
the store of F. w. Kuech or at the door,
will be % cents for the course of two lee
lures, the object of the small charge being
to popularize the opportunity. Any and all
who are interested in this line of study are
invited to help make the experiment a
success. II 1t proves valuable, 1t may lead
to something more extended and perma-
nent.

TILE snAsoN,s TRADE.

Those who have read the advertising
columns of The Phoenix for the past two
or three weeks, and those who read them
this week, will need no other assurance
that the merchants of Brattleboro are ready
to meet all the demands of the season s
trade. In accordance with the spirit of
the times there is less display of strictly
"hollday goods so called, than in many
previous years, and The emphasis has been
placed on articles of use and comfort. But
in whatever department Of trade custom
ers are interested they will find in Brattle-
boro stocks Of goods chosen from the best
and latest which the market affords, and
in size and variety to meet every reasona-
bic requirement, while the friendly rivalry
among the dealers assures prices which
guarantee value received for every dollar
expended.

problem is fairly solved the grange mex

Keen. V. VI. c. A. 40, FuIIer Battery 8,


A large crowd of spectators had "a run
for their money" at the armory Friday
night. Fuller Battery and the Keene Y.
NJ. c. A. were advertised TO meet in basket
ball. The picture changed with kaleido-
scopic rapidity and seemed alternately bas-
ket ball, foot ball, leap frog wrestling, and
once or twice there was more than a sus-
picion of smuggling.
The visitors did not arrive until nearly
o o'clock owing to an accident to their con-
veyance in Chesterfield. 1t was thought
at $40 that they would not appear and a
game was arranged with the Y. NJ. c. A.
team, but by the time the Y. NJ. c. A.
boys were at the armory in uniform the
Keene contingent had arrived.
The crowd was good natured during the
long wait and passed away the time by
cheering and guying every one who APP
peared at the main entrance or who at
tempted to walk across the floor.
Keene went intOthe game with a rush and
by more aggressive style of play and better
team work made the score 10 to at the
end of the first half, and 20 to at the end
of the game. In spite of the roughness and
the repeated calling Of fouls the crowd en-
joyed the sport and cheered enthusiastical-
ly. The features were the long throws by
Church into the basket and the successful
shooting" of Lewis.

SPORTING.
BrattIebOrO Y. VI. c. a. 10, Fitchburg
Y.M. G. A.. 2


A clean, interesting game of basket ball,
not marred by rough playing, was played
Wednesday night, when the Y. NJ. G. A.
champions defeated the Fitchburg, Mass,
Y. NJ. c. A. Is to 2. Fitchburg has an
excellent team and recently played game
against the Cambridgeport, Mass, aggre-
CATION, which is one of the strongest in
the Bay state. The visitors were COM
pletely outclassed, however. The ball was in
their territory nearly nine-tenths of the
! time, and they failed TO get goal from field.
The Brattleboro boys showed all their Gus
tomary quckness in interference and per-
lection of team work and at all times used
good judgment. The brilliant showing
which the team has made during the past
two seasons is due as much TO head work
as to physical training and alertness. The
ball was never passed Wednesday night by
a Brattleboro player unless he had some
idea where it was going and who was go
| ing to get it. The score at the end of the
first half was six to one and at the close
! 10 to 2. Every one of the five players
played excellently. Howe's long leaps
| for the ball and his successful throws
aroused the greatest enthusiasm. Dun
levy and Daniels eluded their opponents
almost at will, and Cundiff and Sanders
never played better. The Fitchburgs
played well, but the style of Brattleboro's
game was evidently new to them. The
attendance was large, and such interesting
| contests are sure to be well patronized.
