OF hand man and many Of his tricks woul,
eclipse Hermann. The entertainment wa
interpreted with some very clever worl
by Mr.. Bu.kirk in the dancing and musics
lines. A particularly fine act was tn
musical selection on the English Ferr,
bell by Mr.. Buskirk. Although the audi
ence was small, it made up in enthusiasm
and interest what it lacked in numbers.
A football team from Bellows Fall
played the local team on our grounds la,
Thanksgiving day with the result OF Is {
: in our favor. If the visiting team coul
play the game as well as it can swear an
scrap, it could beat any team on earth
The game went pretty well until the visi
ing team realized that it was up sgain,
some clever men and began scrappipg an
lawing. The visitors barely escaped bein
. kicked off the field by the indignant spe,
tators by time being called. An srront
Gus report in the TIMES of last wee

We hope that this weeks item will straight
en- the matter.
