Of sight-seers.

ounces. The reader is apt to think that
statement to the effect that in Cali.
fOrnia apples often weigh three pounds
is reckless, but when the Blade says
delicious yellow pears often weigh from
four to FIVE pounds, man who had never
been in California is apt to throw up his
hands. Yet specimens of this marvellous
fruit are on exhibition in these cars. II

Yet this is only a part Of the Santa
Clara county fair on wheels. The
exhibit is not selected from the entire

kingdom broad in the extent Of Its
dominion and enduring, and the third
described the nature of that kingdom.
In developing the subject attention was
called to the duty Of thankfulness,
first, for individual blessings; second, fol
blessings to US as community; third,
for national blessings, especially for the
victories of our armies during the past
year, the record of whose triumphs would
read like page of Old Testament his

perhaps, lies our danger. We have be

i SECOND DEFEAT
WELLINGTON PLAYED IN HARD
LUCK AGAINST LAGRANGE.
Much Interest and Enthusiasm Mani
tested by Many Spectators, Who
Enjoyed Closely Fought
Foot Ball Game

Wellington's foot ball team was de-
feated for the second time on the ball
grounds Thanksgiving afternoon, where
they met the LAGRANGE team. The
visitors out-weighed our boys several
pounds. but far from out played them.
The game from beginning to end was
witnessed with intense interest by the
many spectators, who, in spite of the
cold weather and ill wind, showed
marked enthusiasm.
Both teams played strong game, but
1t was noticeable from the first, that ouI
boys lacked a heavy line, which defect
gave the LaGrange team many yards by
center plays. The score at the end Of
the second half stood 10 to 0 in favor Of
LAGRANGE.
In the first half after making a clean
kick off, Wellington had the misfortune
to loose its right guard, Clare Metzger,
who severely injured his ankle, in
the first down. This weakened the
team, as he was a heavy man and good
player. Damon was put in his stead,
and played good game.
1t took the LAGRANGE team just twelve
minutes to score their first touch down
This they undoubtedly would have done
before, but for the effective kicking Of
Bush, when the ball was nearing Well
ingtons goal. The first half ended witt
the ball on LaGrange's 30 yard line.
During the second half it was evident
that Wellington was getting 'grOggy,"
but far from lOOsing their nerve. Under,
hill, LaGrange's left half, made 6C
yard run and again scored, Allen failing
to kick goal. From this to the end Of
the game our boys held their opponents
down, they making little or no gain

ing Of Bush, and Adams, together with
the good tackling of Barbor and Holiday

teams offensive play was generally gOot

Allen, Underbill and Wilcox.
