Recent Foot Ball Games Against Brat
tIeboI and HInsdaIe.

Recent Foot Bali Games Against Brat-
tlebOI and HInsdaIe.
The Hinsdale team played the North
field team at Mortified Wednesday after
noon and Hinsdale was beaten 10 to 9.
The game started in a heavy rain which
made it very hard for the backs to hold
the ball or advance on such slippery
ground. The Hinsdale team was very
much strengthened by Conland, a Brattle-
boro player, as full back. There was a
great deal of kicking on both sides, Hins-
da!e having the advantage. In football
one should keep his temper. This is one
of the great lessons we were sorry TO see
that Hinsdale had not learned. There
was hardly a gain made for Mortified but
what the Hinsdale team would have to
stop and kick, no matter II three or four
yards had been gained over the required
distance, a "Young" fellow on the Hins-
dale IL once even taking off his nose
guard and striking the referee. Is that
foot ball? Swearing was also heard from
the Hinsdale side, and when they were
kindly asked TO stop said they "would If
they wanted to-" Outside of these things
Hinsdale played good game. Mortified
did some Of the kicking but tried to play a
good, fair game, considering that some of
the men are green at the game, not know
ing the fine points. The ball was in Hins-
dale territory continually. Hinsdale's
touchdown was made at the last of the
game when 1t was getting quite dark so
that Mortified could hardly see the man
with the ball The best work for North
field was done by Noodle, Brennig and
Anderson, while Conland and II. Jeffords
did the best work for Hinsdale. The line

The Chrysanthsmum show.

The chrysanthemum show arranged for
last June was held in the Sons of Veterans
hall last Friday afternoon and evening and
was very successful in every particular.
OF the 200 plants given to the school child
rem last spring about 40 were on exhibition,
and they were fine specimens. Mr.. Flint
of Winchester awarded the prizes as fol-
lows: LIST prize, So Beth Britton; I'd, 50
Ruth G. Osgood; Sd, 81 Gladys Marcelle;
4th, a61e plant given by Eddie Sharp of
Amherst, was awarded to Maud Holton.
The hall was effectively decorated with
cut flowers and plants placed there by Mr..
Flint, Eddie Sharp and interested citizens,
while one table was filled with a good dis
play of fruit and vegetables. The teachers
of the public schools had very creditable
exhibit of work done by their pupils dur
ing the past term, which covered the walls
and several tables.
A program was arranged which consist
ed of music by the school children and
Messrs. Field and Holton,a very interesting
talk by Mr.. Flint ON the care of chrysanth-
emums, and a short speech by j. M. Ware
on the school exhibit.
The whole affair was we'll planned and
carried out and it is hoped that a begin
ming has been made for q valuable show OF
a similar nature every year. Work of
this kind incites the citizens and children
to the production of the best possible in
the vegets BILE world and is means for ma
ture study, which has become such prom
inent feature in educational work at the
present time.
