 The Commercial Advertiser says: It is difficult to keep from extravagances in speaking of Joseph Hofmann's per- formance. He was a marvellous child; he has become wonderful man, for despite his few years he is a man in his artistry. Every promise of his childhood as seen by the most doting woman or by the wisest man has been redeemed tenfold.

Unchain the Dogs of War. Unchaln the dogs of war, Doom sounds the hour, Spring forth ye men of mightl Let towards cover. Sail forth ye mighty ships, In seas of blood, Hail shot and shell,
 Make rich the flood. The Anglo-Saxon foot Must press the sod, And wields the rod. And wield the rod. Which scores the despots back Till dashed with pain, He frees the fighting slave, Resistance vain. Then spring to arms ye men, Inspired to fight, For Cuba's woes alone, But not for might.

MILLBuRY BASKET BALL.
W. A. c. Team Believe They Are Cham
pions at Basket Ball.

The statement Of Manager White of
the Millbury basket ball team given
currency, claiming the championship Of
the state has caused considerable COM
ment among county basket bail play
ers. Many teams throughout the coun-
ty are OF the opinion that they have
as much right to claim the champion
ship as the Millbury team. A manager
! Of a Worcester team stated to a Spy
reporter, Monday, that the w. A. C..
team had more right to claim the
championship than any other team, as
| they have won of the games played
with MillbuTy. During 1867 the w. A.
c. team played three games with the
Millburys winning all. The score Of the
first game was 13 to 3; the second, to
4; third, to 3. This season the teams
played three games, and the w. A. G.
team lost 2. The scores were 4 to 2;
and 4 to in Millburys favor, and the
third game was to 1 in favor of the
W. A. @. team The total number Of
goals thrown by the Worcester team
was 81, while Millbury throwed total
of 19. After taking these facts into
consideration the w. A. c. team claim
the championship should come to Wor-
cester instead of Millbury.
ELECTRIC ROAD EXTENSION.
The talk OF extending the tracks Of
the Worcester and Suburban Street
Railway TO Harris grove at Lake Sin
gletary, Millbury, is being revived, and
the matter is under serious considera-
ton by the officials Of the road. The
distance from the present terminus of
! the road would be a fraction over a
mile. The interest Of some of those
who would be benefited by the road,
but who have not the money to invest,
is manifested by their willingness to
give the use of their teams to assist in
grading the roadbed. The prospects are
that the line will be extended the COM
ing season.
