1t is a matter of history that once unon
time certain king led vast nrmv Of
trained and well drilled men up a hill and
then calmly led them down again. 1t is
also matter of history that an enthusiasts.
tic crowd of royal rooters from Keena
brought down a collection of megaphones
OF a size and finish that astonished and al.
most dazed the usually irrepressible small
boys of Hinsdale. The lads gathered in
groups on Riverside park and strove to
conjecture just how much noise could be
made through megaphones of such magnifi-
cent dimensions. But alas, they never
found out, for after the game the Keene
contingent carried them home as quietly as
they had brought them,
When the Keene team appeared on the
grldlron for practice it was found that it
had been strengthened by Donovan at right
end, Little at full back and Powers and
Mason at halves. Hinsdae had also
strengthed her team by putting Chas. Mann
at his old position at right end and Harry
Smith behind the line.
Little of Keene opened the game by
kicking to Doucette, who ran 10 yards be-
fore being downed. After few more
rushes by Hinsdale the Keene line took a
brace aud secured the ball on downs, but
it soon went to Hinsdale again on a FUN
BILE. Day made an end run of 20 yards
and Doucette bucked the line until Keene s
three-yard line was reached. Here the lat
ter team held its ground for two downs,
but on the third scrimmage Doucette was
forced over the line for touchdown.
Smith missed the goal. During the remain
der of the half Keene kept the ball in her
possession, but was unable to advance it
much farther than the centre of the field.
In the second half Pat Mann was put in
Bergeron's place behind the line. Hins.
dale kicked to Little, who made a good
gain By series of short rushes Keene
reached Hinsdale's 15-yard line, where the
ball was lost on a tumble. The Manr
brothers then worked it back to Keenet
30-yard line and Pat Mann was played
through tackle He fumbled the ball, bu
succeeded in hitting it with sufficient fore,
to send it across Keene's goal line, wher,
it was fallen on by McCaughern. The res
of the game was characterized by hare
| playing on both sides. Time was called
with the ball within two yards of Keene'
goal.
Mason, Little and Connors did the hes
work for Keene, while Pat Mann, Doucett
and Charles Mann carried off the honor
on the Hinsdale side. The line up:

ITUIH Is UtIItI IIIdH 4 IIt'
My advice to correspondents of our local papers
Is that they obtain the facts before sending items
for publication.
In calling upon our deputies TO search where
liquor was concealed or where it was or could be
obtained that caused so much drunkenness at the
harvest supper, allow me TO state, no one told me
as compl inant that they obtained liquor at Mr..
Frost's He advertses to sell certain drinks, and
therefore when there is any drunkenness is look
ed upon with suspicion We hope nothing intoxi-
eating has been or can be obtained there.
The proprietor of the Park stated there should
be no liquor on the grounds. AS thoughtful citi'
zens let us lend every assistance in seeing that
none is conveyed thither to bring disgrace, and
mar the beauty Of the park and its surroundings.
Agree with me that il would be far better II Hins-
