N. H. INTERSTATE LEAGUE RECORDS For Last Season Show Better Class of Bowlers Than
 This Year. A LACK OF EXPERIENCE Steele Led Local Bowlers, With Janswick Second and 0.
 Johnson Third.
A LACK OF EXPERIENCE

A glimpse at last years Nsw Hayew interstate league records points ouk yiyidly to the casual observer the poor- CT quality of bowling being offered to the hundreds of fans or that sport in this city this season Good bovlors or at least experienced ones appeared plentiful then, but this year there is q feeling between the bowlers of this city anu on account of this the best pin- sphtters who can be picked from the Elm City are not on the list,
 That 1t is unnecessary to 20 out oe town to find good men lies in the fact that most of the men representing the New Haven team are still in New Ha- yen and can be obtained with littie or no trouble. Feeling between alIev owners and several of New Haven's sfar pS x tsIs .s. mas caused this tie-up, and also the Wea kness of the local teams Tha present bowlers on the state and intat- sta1e team are mixture of experienced ana inexperienced bowlers and thfa 5irn,lxup causes the loss of many gan1esl a9, dne poWfers may be able to perform well on the local alleys or in the baclg- woods away from the world and ifs worries, but when they clash with tbo dlElculties of rolling before large audiS 5g1 enges or not air fans they are up In s HRIloon, and the rest is easily realized. e Last year the local aggregation ofl fered after the first couple Of ganles some splendid work of art, Everything passed on smoothly the games were aii close and interest was universal.

Besides long slg- nal drill several trick plays were trleu and a short scrimmage in wnlcn neither side scored finished up the secret practice.
 After the gates had been thrown open another longer scrimmage loi- lowed in which there was much a flimbling on both sides. Coy was not

 and then was injured by fall on his
 back, but he will be all right to-day.
 Logan, who played fast game at left end on the second eleven, strain ed his stomach in a fall and was helped off the field, Abbott, of the golf team, played fullback on the sec ond eleven part of the time, Twice the varsity scored and once the second eleven crossed the line with the ball. The first one was made bv the second eleven On the varsl- tvs 5-yard line Wheaton made a fair catch of an onside kick of the second eleven. Then Wylie made forward pass to Dimes, netting the varsity about twenty more yards. Piggott, who was playing lright end on the sec ond eleven, caught the ball after an attempted onside kick by the varsity and carried it thirty yards for a touch- down
 Riglow made the second touchdown getting the ball after a tumble by Mitchell on the 4O-yard line, The varsity then tried to again advance toward the goal line and Logan was hurst in getting. the ball on a tumble On another tumble Alcott, who was at right and on the first eleven, got the ball and made a touchdown after a thirty yard run.
 Three times the varsity worked the ] double forward pass for long gains and once lost ten yards while trying the fake kick play,
 Besides the regular force of coaches ! there were at Yale field yesterday Walter Camp, Clint Roraback, Jim

IMPERsoNATED WESTON.
Colonel Horn Satisfied People of Win
 sted During Formers First Walk.

Winsted, Nov. 4.-In connection with the passing through Litchfield county of Edward Rayson Weston on his foot way from Portland Me, to Chicago, many of the older residents here are recalling the story of how Colonel Horne of this place impersonated Wes- ton forty years ago. Weston was to have passed through Winsted at il o'clock one night. IA telegram was sent from New Hartford that night saying that Weston's route had been changed and that he would Instead enter Mas saehusetts through Barkhamsted and Colebrook. Colonel Horne and Charles B. Andrews, a hotel man, were in the telegraph office when the message came in, and the former volunteered at once to impersonate Weston if An- drews would get some one to drive his supply wagon. When all was ready Horn started out and made his way to the center of the city which had been illuminated for Weston's coming. Col onel Horn got as far as the center, but the crowd was so great that he could not continue until he had made a speech. in which he said that Aa was determined to win out or die in the att tempt. The crowd then opened and he continued on and out of the city. That it was not Weston the people had cheered did not become known until several days laters

 Especial Journal-C Courier News Service.)
 Southington. Nov 1.-The princi- pals in the remonstrance movement rdporK fine success and believe their efforts this year will be repaid. How ever the charges which they have against the saloonkeepers are such that they will avail them nothing. The charges against Soleck and Veg ner are that they were found guilty of Sunday selling and also illegal sell-i ing during the year. It has been learned that, although these prosecu-i tions were brought against Wegner and Soleck, yet they cannot be brought up as a bar against the renewal of li- censes, and in both cases certificates were filed by the court. The certif- cates clearly stipulate that the prose- cutions can in no way be used to pre- vent renewal of licenses,
