BETTER SLEIGHING.

Yesterday afternoon the sleighing out
on the avenue was decidedly more to
the liking OF the followers OF the sport
than at any other time during the week.
In consequence OF that there were
number OF fast ones with their drivers
on hand TO participate in anything that
took on the appearance OF a brush.
There was not much activity as on
some occasions formerly. but enough to
keep the hearts throbbing and the mind
free from care. Mr.. Halliday with Opu-
lence and Joe Murphy with his PAGER
started the sport and thereafter there
was some one always to keep up the
activity. The footing was not OF the best
but far above that OF the day previous In
excellence.
There were a number of the sports
men on the avenue from Pawtucket and
Woonsocket. Among those out were Col
Isaac l.. Goff. who had two likely looking
ones: Nate Young with Goldgetter. Knapp

BRIGADE BASKETBALL,

One OF the best games that has been
seen this season among the basketball
players was that played last evening by
two teams from the Militia league. -Ae
game was between Co. A. OF the First
regiment and Co. r of the Second
The battle was fought out in the
armory on Benefit street and the score
at the end OF the game was 10 to 8.
Every moment Of that time that the two
teams were on the floor there was spir-
tied playing and a game worth going
to- see. The enthusiasm OF the specta-
tors was kept at the highest point at all
times by reason OF the close score and
the brillancy of the plays. For the first
part OF the game IL seemed to be one
sided slightly, but the advantage wore
away before the end of the game and
when time was called the advantage was
the other way.
Company team was faster and more
accurate I'm the shooting. but the aggres-
siveness OF the other team more than
balanced matters.
Mosher and Cole did star work the
former showing great ability 10 capture
the ball and keep II long enough TO make

very unfortunate. the score would have

little over anxious in the latter part OF
the game. and as a result had a large
number OF fouls called on him. this being
in the end fatal TO his team. as Cole OF
the opposing team was able TO convert
them into the points necessary TO win the
game. Company as a whole was the
worst offender in the matter of fouls. II
