Morris 6 Gracevil:e S.,

The first football game Of the seas
on by our High School team was
"butted off" on the gridiron here last
Saturday afternoon, when they won
from the Graceville,/ High School
team by the score OF s to 5.
DIR, 0. C. Nelson acted as referee
in the first half and j G. Morrison as
umpire; in the second half they ex-
changed positions. Supt. {. r. Me
Neyin of GraceviIle and Pete W.
Ross were linesmen, and Douglas
Bailey and Mr.. Brewster OF Grace
vile we're time keepers.
The Morris boys got the the ball,
and by steady rushes and gains they
soon had it in the danger line OF
Graoeville's goal. Then for "foul
tackIing" they were "penalized" and
had to lose several yards. This
looked unfair to the crowd, both be-
cause there was no real "tackle" at
all and because there is nothing In
the rules regarding "foul tackling'
this year except against "throttling.'
However, the boys took their medi-
cine and went at the Graceville line
again. During the first half neither
side scored, but the offensive and de.
fenslve work Of the Morris team was
very evidently superior to those OF
their opponents.
In the second half Gracevi]le made
the first touchdown and then failed
to kick goal, making score OF 5 too
Their JOY was great, because there
we're only few minutes left for the
game. But, Morris took agood stiff
brace, and, in those few minutes
rushed the ball over the line and
then Stewart kicked a fine goal
Then the score was 6 to 5 aud the
game was over.
The Graceville boys looked larger
than the Morris team, but they could
not stand the plunges of the locals at
all. But the Morris boys seemed to
be afraid to Ego right after" their
men, to break thru interference, and
all of them, when falling on the ball
seemed to be afraid that the ground
would hurt them; the ball was lost
once or twice from this last ca 'se.
The g me was clean as far as the
players were concerned and worthy
example of good amateur sport. But
there was little too much ''rag
chewing about it, and we hope to
see improvement in this direction the
next time.

GROVES OPERA HOUSE.
New Play House Seems to BE AS
sured.

AS is we'll known to many of
our readers, G. M. McElroy and G. B.
Burpee were around with subscip
ton list couple of weeks ago, and
sold about 800 first night tickets at
IS each in order to express the senti-
ment of the people here regarding
new opera house, and in order to en-
coure ge Mr.. Grove to build one.
The matter was brought up when
Mr.. Grove began building next TO the
La Grind hotel, and twas rumoled
that the building might be new oP
era house. Knowing somewhat how
Mr.. Grove felt in the matter, Mr.. Nc
Eiroy and Mr.. Burpee took the mat
Ger UP with the citizens and in a
short while sold 81, 500 worth of first
night tickets. The matter was then
laid before Mr. GroTe, and we are in
formed that he is having plans drawn
aud will probably make definite af-
irmative answer.
Mr.. Grove has always been one of
the most enterprising and public
spirited of the business men of Nor
lis, aud since he moved TO St. Paul,
has continued to increase rather than
diminish his interests here. In fact /,
it is to be hoped that he will again
take up his residence in Morris in the
not far distant future.
Much credit is also due to Messrs.
McElroy and Burpee for taking up
this matter of so much public iuter-
est.

Graduating Exercises.

Friday evening occurred the graduating
exercises of Royalton academy ana from
the grammar grade to high school grade
OF the Central school. The Congl church
was tastefully decorated with evergreen,
ferns, pot plants, wild roses and the
American colors. The following program
was given:-
Violin solo. leila Pauline Blakely
Prayer, Rev. Joel +. whitney
Essay Booker T. Washington
Recitation, Keep 1t Before the People

BenedictQn, Rev. j. r. whitney
II Byron Dow lives up to the sentiment
OF his well-rendered recitation, the
people will some day give Nun place
OF honor.
Frank spaulding paid glowing tribute
to the stars and stripes, with an earnest
ness and enthusiasm that would indicate
his readiness to respond to any call which
his country may give him IN the future
years.
-Ina well-written essay, Mabel Wilson
ident, who still lives in the hearts OF the
people.
Katharine Dewey, a descendant Of the
Joseph Xix who was carried a captive 70
Canada by the Indians in 1850, touched a
respondent chord i'm the heart Of every son
and daughter Of Royalton, and made her
audience feel sure that her prediction Of a
place in the world for such men and
women as the members OF her class hope
to become will be fulfilled, and that this
place viii be no mean one.
The graduates from Royalton academy
were Misses Altha and Anne Dutton, who
have taken four years course in three
years, and during this time have not
missed day, although living nearly Tour
miles away.
Miss Anne Dutton gave a clear and con-
else summary of the life Of that remark
able negro, Booker T. Washington, paying
a tribute to the intellectual ability and
moral worth of the man who has tri-
umphed over seemingly insurmountable
obstacles and shown what are the posi-
bilities Of his race.
Miss Altha Dutton gave fOrcible ana
logisal answer to the question of her
ESSAY, contrasting the conditions as to
pauperism in prohibition Japan and the
alcohol-cursed country OF England. She
recited most effectively in closing poem
showing the absurdity OF the position OF
those who cry for an ambulance in the
valley to carry away the victims who have
fallen over the precipice, instead of build
ing fence across the precipice TO keep
people from falling.
Miss Blakely, whose home is in Brad
ford, has studied music in Germany. nVe
years, and her violin solos were exquisite
iy rendered. and were thoroughly enjoyed
by the large audience. Miss Stickney
accompanied her on the piano.
Misses Edith and Erva Howard were
,l,hers and Miss Minnie Diamond marshal.
The graduates received the usual offering
of flowers and other gifts from friends
who congratulate them on TINS step lot
ward. Hon. ID. G. Denison in few we'll
chosen words presented diplomas IN be-
half of the trustees of Royalton academy.
