The spring term at Kent's Hill
opened last week, and today sees the
tendance for the spring will probably
be about the same as that of the win
ter. the registration being 175 at that
time. 1t is possible that the attend
ance may overrun that number, how
ever, when all the old students get
back to their studies. as number who
are intending to come have not yet
arrived.
The four literary societies of the
school held their elections on Friday
for the election Of officers for the

Interest in athletics. this spring.
seems to be good in the case of both
baseball and track. OF last years
track team all of the point takers ex-
cept Smith, who tied for first in the
high jump, are now in school. These
are Manter, Quincy and GaStOnguay.
These men ought to be able to do as
we'll or better than last year. In addi-
ton to these there are several men who
bid fair to be Good men in different
lines of track activity. Perhaps the
most promising of these is Woods 'OS.
who has been doing some fine work in
the different jumps. He has already
jumped in practice further than Smith
jumped at any time last year, and this.
too, with scarcely any experience.
Among other men are Crosby, 'O1. who
has done some sprinting work in Bath
High and Hunnewell. '06. Blanchard,
O7 and r. L. Jones. OF, and A. n.
Jones. 'O7.
In baseball also there seems to be
good interest and good prospects. OF
last years team four men are left
Greene. Manter, Quincy and Hume
well. There is also an unusual amount
of good material to work out the re-
mander of the team. AS to just what
men are likely to make the vacant po-
stons it is of course. difficult to say.
as there has been no outdoor practice
as yet. 1t is expected this will begin in
the near future. as ii is thought that
the diamond will be in condition in
very few days. Among the especially
promising new men for the team are
Carter. Lawrence. Charles and r. l..
Jones.
Manager Quincy has his schedule of
games practically completed although
he has one open date at present. The
schedule embraces thus far nine
games and if the open date is filled in
there will give total of 10. All but
three of the games will take place on
the home grounds. the only exceptions
being that of the game with Hebron
Academy and those at the Bates In
terscholastic baseball meet. This
number will fill in every Saturday
during the spring term with the eXcep-
ton of the date of the Bowdoin Inter-
scholastic track meet. which will take
place May 81, and to which several OF
the baseball men will go as members
of the track team. Following is the
schedule as made out:
April 15-Open.
Anril 22-WestbroOk Seminary ut
Kent's Hill.
April 2s-Bowdoin Second at Kents
Hill.
May s-Bridgton Academy at Kent's
Hill.

Iune e-3-Bates Invitational Meet.
I,ne 1O.-Leavitt Institute at
Kent's Hill.
I,,na 1s-Coburn Classical Institute

1,h;s schedule is considered a par
t;cu,arly satisfactory one. as the
sa,nes arranged not only take in all
