The High school foot ball eleven we're
again defeated by the Brattleboro High
school team at Brattleboro last Saturday
afternoon. The teams were the same,
with few changes, that played the week
before at Riverside park. The Hinsdsles
put up a better game than they did the
week previous, although the score does not
show it. The Brattleboros made touch
down in each half from neither of which
was the goal kicked, leaving the score 10
to 0. The wet grounds gave the home team
an additional advantage, which, together
with their greater weight, our boys were
unable to overcome. In the first half
after Brattleboro scored, Hinsdale by re-
peated line bucking forced the ball within
few yards of Bratteboro's goal when
time was called, thus depriving them of
their only chance to score. Conland and
Mellen did the scoring for Brattleboro
Capt. Dawson was injured in the first
scrimmage, but pluckily played the game
through. His injury greatly weakened
the team without any doubt. The boys are
to be congratulated. upon putting up a stiff
fight against superior weight and training.

A Satisfactory Entertainments.

''The American Girl" four-act comedy
drama by H. Grattan Donnelly, made its
first appearance in Hinsdale at the town
hall last Monday evening. The play met
the instant approval of the audience, who
were very liberal in their applause. The
troupe was by far the best that has ap-
peared here for a long time, being wonder
fully we'll balanced. The leading characters
were especially strong. George F. Hall,
who waSfor the last five years with Hoyt's
"a Bunch of Keys" came in for a large
share of the applause as Gross Bolter, an
American hustler" The work of the lit
tie children, Lille Lawson and Oracle
Hickey, is also deserving of special praise.
In addition to the play, several specialties
were introduced by Mr. Hall and Miss St.
John and the children, and they were com
PEELED to respond to several encores. From
here the company went to Stafford Springs,
Conn, where they are filling a return date.
Should they decide to return here in the
future we can safely promise them hearty
welcome.
