The contest had many features of
excellence. The game went with
dash from the call OF time, and there
was not a single element which was
missing from it. The riding especially
was of the highest class shown during
the series, and the effects Of the prac-
tice upon men and ponies was most
noticeable. The game was much of a
hitting one. and every player had his
share of stick work. There were some
remarkable drives, and the ball was
kept in motion all the time. The acci-
dents were several, but none was seri-

happened to George Potter, who receiv-

* The Cream OF The Year
A NEW YEARS FAIRY STORY.

On the day before New Years all the In
habitants of the village of Bramwcll were
busly engaged planning how they should
snatch the cream of the year from all their
friends. and especially from the long old
hermit fairy who lived in Bramwell woods
For III Bramwell the luck of the year was
buried in the first ptcherful of water that
was taken all foaming and white from the
spring In the valley. Whoever got there first
on New Years Eve. after the clock had
struck ~, and drew the first pitcher of water
from the spring got the cream of the year,
and had nothing but luck until another New
Years Day came around. So all the VII
layers, excepting the babies and the very old
persons who could not run, spent large
part of each year In planning what they
would do on New Years Eve to secure this
treasure Everybody felt perfectly able to
distance his nelghbor in the race and be
first at the spring if mortals alone were to
compete.
But year after year, Just as the clock
struck Il and the grand rush for the spring
began, the old fairy hermit would come
out from his cabin on the mountain and
ask the breathless, hurrying thrcng why
they ran so fast.
Then the person whom he questioned was
obliged to answer THE cream of the year!
The cream of the year"
As soon as he heard this the old hermit
fairy would put ON his swiftest wings or his
most magical boots and watt himself over
the mountain and into the valley where the
spring was bubbing.
And long before any of the svillagers had
reached the spring the old fairy had dipped
up a pitckerful of the water and was off
with the cream of the year, leaving trail
Of waiting villagers behind Kim.
Since he had come to live in his hut in
Bramwel woods no one in Bramwell village
had had any luck at all. Not because the
fairy interfered in their affairs for evil nor
for good either, for that matter. lie was a
very reserved old fairy, indeed But he
would set himself, in spite OF all their plead
lngs, to get the cream of the year as regu-
larry as New Year came around. He did not
really need it, for In fairyland there is luck
enough and to spare, but he liked to have it
just because 1t was the most precious thing
in the village.
Now, the old hermit fairy could not tell
time as mortals do. lie did not know mid
nightfrom curly evening, nor the New Years
Eve church bells from the bells of other

gathered on the green to mako plans But
though they planned and planned they could
THINK OF nothing. One by one the Young
men of the village made their suggestions
Most of them thought that a new way down
the mountain might be found which did not
lead past the old hermit fairy's hut.
But if the old fairy could not tell the time
of day he could at least see to the end Of
the country, and all the older persons. who
mad tried in former years, told the young
men. sadly, that the plan was not to he
thought of; the old fairy was sure to see
the crowd of hurryng villagers no matter
what part Of the mountain they descended.

the oldest villager pointing to the mountain

But even while they were pointing him ont

layers.
But no." cried Peggy, the fret Alder
mans daughter, cit is only John Breen, the
village boy who went away to be a page in
the CASTLE"
The newcomer galloped into the circle of
anxious villagers, jumped from his horse and
dotted his cap before the first Alderman.
"Your Honor" said he, 81 have come on
purpose to help you win the cream of the
year and defeat the old hermit fairy"
But all the villagers saw by this time that
it was really only John Breen in his new

the time would have struck.
Then he drew out the third gift, beauti-
full pitcher sparkling with jewels. and with
this clasped tightly under his jacket he ran
hastily down the mountain.
Now the old fairy saw him coming, but he
thought that while the gathering ON the
green was still immovabie a solitary page
