The basket ball game played in the hall
Friday evening with team from Hard
WICK proved to be decidedly one sldeo
affair. The score was forty to one in favor
of Barton town team. The home team out
played the visiting team in every point
This certainly is q good start and all
wish the team equal success in future
games. We understand the boys have
some new suits and all will want to come
out and see the boys in them tomorrow
evening and see our fellows win from the
st. Johnsbury team. Following is the line
up of Hsrdwick's game:

A large audience witnessed the Montpe-
Ter VS. Barton Academy game OF basket
ball last Monday evening. The Academy
was defeated by score 29-16, but all felt
that it was one of the best defences the
team had put up. The Seminary team
were by far the heaviest team and more
experienced, but it was not without diff
Guilty that they carried home the prize, for
at no time during the game did they have
it their own way entirely. The game was
fast and clean.
