BRATTLEBoR0 TEAM DEFEATED
Keene Y. M. G. A. Basketball Teams Wins
from the Local Aggregation by Reason OF
its Superior Goal Throwing -Guiltord Street
Wins from the Association Second Team.

Solely on account of It's accurate
basket throwing the Keene Y. M. &. a.
/ basketball team defeated the local as
ISOLATION team at the Retreat gymna.
i stun Wednesday evening, the score
being q 10. Without exaggeratlon
i the contest was one of the most exert
ing ever seen on a local floor and at no
time in the game were the teams far
ther than five points apart. Brattle-
boro's team work was far superior to
that of its opponent and the Brattle-
boro players must have had at least
five chances for goals to their oppo-
nents one but could seem to take no
advantage of them.
At the end of the first half the home
team led 12-9 and looked like win
ner, but during the second half the
New Hampshire boys put up a remark
able game. Within few minutes OF
the close of the game the score was
1916 in favor of Keene and one goal
from the field would have landed Brat
tleboro "a winner In spite of numerous
chances. however, this goal was not
forthcoming until after keene had
added three points on rafting good
throw bv j. Conner and thus placed the
team out of danger
For the Keene team the Conner
brothers did good work, their accurate
throwing being a source of wonder to
many. All the Brattleboro boys played
well in all respects save that of bas-
ket throwing and had they had their
eyes with them they might have easily
won.

Lord Rosebery has written a novel,
on which he is now engaged in putting
the finishing touches. In spite of his
Chesterfield speech and many political
and other diversions, Lord Rosebery,
1t is said, found time to rewrite the
manuscript three times. The name
and plot of his novel are not hinted at
so far, but one of the weekly papers
suggests that it should be called The
Lonely Furrow, or. if compiled on
the lines of Dickens, it might be
named "A Neutral Inn," which is a
sarcastic reference to Lord Rosebery's
recent suggestion that that peace ne
gotlations with the Beers might well
be initiated at wayside tavern. a.

The old toll bridge across the Con-
necticut, which has so bravely with
stood the efforts of the elements since
its construction in 1870, will soon be
only a memory. According to experts
who have examined the structure tins
week it is no longer safe thorough
fare, and in all probability will be re-
placed by modern steel bridge with
in short time. The first bridge to
span the Connecticut at this point was
built ID 1904 by the old Hinsdale
Bridge corporation. An interesting
incident in connection with its dedi
cation has been told the Wise Guy
this week Samuel Elliot, one of
this towns old-time lawyers. was the
speaker of the occasion and his plat
form was an oX-cart placed in the
bridge near the farther end. In the
midst of his speech when the structure
was crowded with interested listeners
some of the beams creaked under their
heavy weight and Mr.. Elliot, think
ing the bridge was going to pieces.
jumped from his place and ran full
speed to the New Hampshire side.
thereby causing a panic among his au-
dience many of whom thought that
thCil CIiu HiIi COlllt ut IllSb
bridge was torn down in 1929 and re-
built the same year. According to a
long time resident on the banks of the
Connecticut this second bridge was
destroyed in the flood of 1857, and
many people remember how the struc-
ture which followed was washed away
at the time of the fall fresbet in 1863
when Milestone brook rose to such
height that its current swept across
the river and took out the farther
abutment. The present bridge was
owned by the bridge corporation until
1888 when it was bought by the towns
of Brattleboro and Hinsdale. This pur-
chase was made partly for the pur-
pose of removing the tolls and partly
because the owners threatened to
move the structure down to Hinsdale
if the suspension bridge was built. /
Many people took no stock in this /.
threat calling it simply a ruse on the
part of the corporation to get rid of
what would be a poor paying piece of .
property when the suspension bridge .
should become a reality. and some F..
still hold the opinion that this town
never made poorer investment than
when it paid the money which made .
the present bridge a public thorough /
fare.

REMARKS BY A WISE GUY.
~ he coat ITS pNt il on.o

The Kilties closed their entertain
ment Monday evening by singing one
verse each of "America'i and "God
Save the King. y The musicians arose
and remained standing while they
sung the national airs and the audi
ence, had it been English or Cana
dian, would also have been on its feet
with the opening strains As it was
only few persons realized what was
expected of them until the closing
strains of the British hymn. The diff
ference between American and En-
glish people in their reverence for and
familiarity with the national airs re-
minds the Wise Guy of an incident
which happened ON board trans At
lantic liner, The ships concert was
supposed to close with Good Save the
Queen sung by the English, and
"America' rendered by the Americans,
who by the way, outnumbered the sons
of the mother country two to one.
When it came the Englishmen's turn
the few who were present sang the
whole of their national hymn as lus-
tily as could be wished The Amer
leans then made their attempt but
very few remembered any but the first
verse and before the fourth was reached
everybody was obliged to stop. The
account of the entertainment which APP
peared next amorning in the ships
paper was as follows: THE exercises
were brought to close by God Save
the Queen sung by the English and
God Help the United States sung by
the Americans

Ever since the Wise Guy first at
tended the High school building, and
in fact ever since the building was
erected, there has been serious trouble
during the winter months in properly
heating the different class rooms. On
many a cold winter morning classes in
the north rooms have been dismissed
on account of the low temperature.
and on other occasions it has been
necessary to share rooms with other
grades in order to keep warm. This
condition of affairs was brought up at
a special school meeting last year and
II was decided to equip the building
With satisfactory heating apparatus.
The school committee with an adyis-
DRY board decided ON a method which
they thought fully competent to Crap
pie with low temperature, and the sys-
tenn was installed last summer at
during the past winter have been suf-
iitiOIl W SIlo" ClllitI ludt lllt tOlll-
mittee did not know much about heat
ing apparatus or that it was badly
duped by the contractors. By the new
method, known as the blower system,
air is supposed to be drawn from out .
side by a revolving fan and then sent .
over heated steam pipes into the diff
ferent rooms. 1t has been impossible
this winter to heat the out door air
sufficiently by this method and conse
quently the outside air draft has been
closed and the air taken from the
basement. 1t is easy to see what hap
pens when this is done. The foul
air of the basement, as well as the ex-
hausted air from the school rooms is
drawn in by the fan and cheated for
the lungs of the pupils who breathe it
over and over. 1t is said p that the
draft in the basement stairways is so
strong when the fan is in operation
that several small children have mar
rowly escaped being sucked into the
heating apparatus. At any rate it will
make a mans coat tails point straight
out behind. In view of these facts it
is plain that steps must be taken to
remedy matters before another winter
either by installing a heating appara
tus that will heat or by renting the
present building to the Swift Beef
company and erecting new one that
can be warmed properly.
