While attending the recent SEES.
sion of the United States court in
Rutland Judge Wheele, had 10 bis
possession relic which greatly inter
ested the legal men. The relic wss 4
combination compass and sun disl
which formerly belonged to Captain
Melville, Vermonter of French and
Indian war fame. This compass was
plorghed up by farmer on Judge
WI eeler's land 10 the town of Jamaica
10 1884. 1t was lest in l74S. The
Judge has a copy of Captain Mel
ville's journals telling about his reck-
onings with this compass 10 his jour

that the journals do rot speak of the

Only one match in the second
round OF the mems tournament for the
Wantastiquet cup was played on the
golf grounds Saturday, Hayes Bigelow
defeating C FL Thompson one up after
an exciting contest. Bigelow had three
strokes handicap over Thompson and at
the end of the 18th hole they we're even.
Both men failed to drive the gully on
the 18th hole but Thompson missed a
nut of foot which would have given
him the hole and ecessitated the play
ing another hole to decide the match.
The missing of the put was Que no
doubt to the fact that Thompson was
usinp a Haskell ball. These balls are
for driving and play
the green but on account OF
their unusual liveliness are difficult to
control in putting and approaching.

Bingham matches will take place this
