the mornings religious exercises We're
dedicated to those who had grown old

of the occasion the six deacons. James
B. Williams. George h. Stone, =. S.

Der present who We're bordering on
fourscOre years.
The interesting programme was ar
ranged so that the deacOns. the pastor
and Rev. Mr.. Grow each participated.
The blessing was asked by Deacons
Williams and Stone; Rev. w. Il. Grow
announced the first hymn the pastor
announced the second: Deacon Joslin
offered prayer. and Deacons Purple,
Moon and Howell spoke apropos of the
occasion with IL deep religious feeling.
Rev Mr.. Grow, who has had such re-
markably fruitful career in the pulpit,
gave brief talk on How Life Looks
at Eighty-siX." DR.. Whalen likewise
spoke with effect on ."compensations
of Old Age" A particularly pleasing
feature of the order of exercises was
the duet, Come Unto Me and Rest"
by Mrs. II. j. Whalen and Hugh Will
inms. The singing of "Blest Ee the
Tie That Binds" concluded the edify-
ing observance of the day.

VERY FAST FOOT BALL.
The Swiftwinds Defeat the Heavy
Cottage Athletic Club.

The game of foot ball, between the
Swiftwinds and the Cottage Athletic
club, on Alumni field, developed many
very unusual features. The most sur
prising part of the contest was the re-
suit. as no one expected the SwftWinds
to score on their seasoned opponents,
little less to defeat them, as they did,
so decisively by the score OF so.
That the game was one of the most
earnestly contested of the season s
sport. everyone was aware. The Swift
winds, under the guidance OF Captain
Monaghan. exhibited a dash and accur-
acy that was bewildering to the Ath-
letic boys and kept them constantly on
the defensive.
The game consisted of two halves of
fifteen and twenty minutes. respective
~. The Cottage Athletic Club won the
toss and chose the north goal with the
wind to their back Monaghan, for the
'Swifts." kicked to the 1O-yard line,
where Nealon and McCann smothered
Hadgins on his catch. The Cottage
Athletic Club lost the bail on downs
by the marvellous defense Of Monaghan.
Nealon and McHale. The Winds"
then hammered the heavy line of the
ing McHale through the Cottage left
guard for touchdown, after six min
utes of playing. This was the only
score OF the game. The battle waged
hotly in the Athletic Club territory con-
stantly and it was only by the most
strenuous efforts that they kept the
brilliant Quartette, McHale. Nealon,
Monaghan and McGarry, from scoring.
The lineup was as follows:
iftwinds-Nealon, left end; Muir
ply. left tackle; Wagner, left guard; !;
II. Casey, center; Burke. right guard; !;
Mccain. right tackle: McGarry, right
end; McHale, left halfback Swartz,
right halfback: Murrin, quarterback; ;
Monaghan. fullback.
Cottage Athletic Club-Kane left end: {:
Duggan. left tackle: w. Casey, left
guard; Mannion. center; Corrigan, right
guard; Harte, right tackle; Donnelly
right end; j. Hadgins, left halfback;
p. Hadgins, right halfback Gerrity,
