More interest is taken in the whist and forty-five tournament which will be held in Goodwill hall, Waterville, on Thursday evening, than in any en- tertainment of the kind ever attempt ed in that place. It will be given un, der the auspices of the ladies of St Michael's parish and so many appli- cations have been made to participate in the games that increased space had to be found to accommodate all the applicants. Waterbury will contribute her quota of players and about every Catholic organization in the city is sending up one or more teams to com pete for the hOnors that will be award ed at the end of the series in both styles of play. Waterville has her own teams and they expect to send the Waterbury delegations back de- feated. It will really be a battle royal between the experts in whist and for ty-ive of the vile and the city. and the Waterbury are practicing a lot of new tricks in the games to carry back the honofs.
