Tuesday evening. Feb. 26th. The music

gan, which has a high reputation as must
cal organization for either concert or dance
music The committee in charge intend to
make the ball of 1907 the leading social
event of the season.. The game of basket
ball Friday evening bet Xeen the Brooks
High school and tue Guilford High school
teams was witnessed by large crowd,
many teams coming in from the country
for miles in every direction. The Guilfords
claim to be the champions of the second
High school teams of Maine and the game
was strenuously contested, resulting in
victory for Brooks by a score of Al to 80
The enjoyment and good feeling of the oc-
cason was only married by one of the visit
ing team who frantically telephoned to the
Bangor papers that they had been unfairly
beaten by the decisions of the umpire, who
had called 80 fouls on them. AS the record
showed that precisely 10 fouls were called
on Gulford and q on Brooks the absurdity
of that excuse was evident. The fact is,
that skill and endurance won the game for
the home team. The game was followed by
a largely attended dance, with music by
KeyeS' orchestra.
