Redlands, the town near which the Law

| California. in the county OF San Bernardino
| This little city is the centre of an immense
orange growing district. and is about
| twelve miles east OF Riverside and sixty

! The delightful climate and magnificent
scenery OF southern California are shown

Washington navel orange has its home.
and the fruit growing industry is the sole

habitants of the place Last year Redlands

the San Bernartino Mountains lift their
snowclad heads 10000 feet above the sur

Mrs. Lawton's maiden name was Craig.
and so the California place has always
been called Craig Crest. The approach
along Cypress Avenue is beautiful and
many hills and ridges have to be sur
mounted before the home grounds are
reached. The property borders on the
south side OF Cypress Avenue an! is
shaped like a huge triangle. With excep-
tion OF the ground on which the house
stands. the Lawtou property is devoted
exclusively to the growing of navel
oranges aud contains about 500 trees.
The front bordering on Cypress Avenue
is enclosed by a large and beautiful cy
press hedge. and between the sidewalk and

Inasmuch as three games were needed
by the Roger Williams 10 secure clear
title on first place In the New England
Duck Pin league, ana two gpmes were
necessary In order to tie the Night
Hawks the erstwhile leader. Captain
Hoban assembled his cohorts and mapped
out the plan OF battle, which was TO be
strictly adhered to.
The captain himself led the advance
guard while the rear flank was ably
taken care OF by ''Indefatigable Cahill.
In the first battle the legion from River
point were completely routed, due no
doubt to the fact that the, Rogers were
on their own stsmping grounds, and
were thus enabled TO secure the superior
position.
in the second battle the Riverpoints
were again outclassed, and retrested In
disorder but were held together by J.
Thornton. and in the final round took
advantage OF the Rozerios overconfidence
and won out. saving themselves from a
complete rout by nine pins.
Thus. the two victories and one defeat
put the Rogerios anu the Night Hawks
OF Fall River on par, and ties them for
first place.
