 Five To night.

 mary Game.

These two games ought to draw a large crowd for they will be two good games, especially the high school game. In previous game the high school came out victorious after playing overtime with this same Nale Consolidated team The latter team IS composed of many fast players ana will certainly give the local high school team a hard game. On the other hand the high school team has been playing great ball. One of thelr latest victories was that over Water bury Wednesday night at Waterbury This same Waterbury team defeated the crack New Britain five, who de- feated the local high school team dur ing the early part of the season at New Britain. This victory added to many others is good example of the plaving of the local team. They are prepared for a hard game, and VIII work zealously to win. Fraser will ne able to go in the game tonight as guard. He was debarred from play ing on account of injury received in one of the previous games. Sake Will play at right forward, and the chances are that he will repeat ms good work done in the previous game against Yale Consolidated. Frankei' who did not put up very good game last time against the Consolidated IS exnected to turn the tables and show un we'll as he Is against playing good ball.
 The lineup for the New Haven hlsn school: Frankel, left guard Saxe' right guard; Dustin (Capt), center; Connelly or Starkweather, right guard; Fraser. left guard
 The two basketball teams represent ing the two upper classes at the New Haven high school will play prelim- mary game, which will start at B o'clock. This ought to be a good game. as both teams have been prac- ticing at the boys club AS the game between the classes in football drew large crowd, the game tonight ought to be able to accomplish the same thing. The game will be a close one and the outcome Is uncertain. The winner will play the winner of the freshman and sophomore game for the class championship

Foreign Cars.

An interesting fact develops from this list of entries, as we find that of the eight foreign cars entered six will be driven hy American drivers. Here fofore, it was considered that the American mechanics were not quail fed or experienced enough to pilot ear in a race where speed and endur- ance were the qualifications. It is generally conceded by those who have been around the Westchester course that it is one of the most torturous and difficult ever presented in an au tomobile event and it will he a great victory if an American boy leads at the finish.

 Schiller and Warner were slow and Pete" Woods was in his poorest con- dition of the season. The latter's play. ing resulted in apparent poor playing of Mullen. Schiffer worked about in hls usually fast form, but he was not effective. He did not receive Warmers nor Farrell's passes well and handican the locals severely
 Bone relieved him in the latter part Of the second period and for a while the tloe turned about completely and the local five looked like victors. War ners work was far below his standard.
 For the Boneyards Farrell and Mul- len were the star performers. Tn. former player for the first two ner;od. put up a phenomenal exhibition. His three goals, one-half Of New Hayen.s total. shows his effective work. Bone played splendid game, TOT the short While he was in, but New Haven was doomed to defeat and even brilliant work could not have held back the hand of fate for the first period and q half. Mullen stopped nearly every. thing which came within the limits Of the secred cage, but when Woods al- lowed Higgins to stand directly in front of the cage and wait for Jason's passes it was utterly impossible for the local goal-tender to stop the rubber. Saunders appearance on the scene or action helped the cause very little. Tn blocking Jason and Higgins he was ef. fective for while, throwing the Wa. terbury rushers from their course nearly every time they rushed down the rink.
 Up to the last period, the game waa exciting. but in the final session the Rough Riders galloped away with the victory without any objection on ths part of the local five.

When the moment for the prayer ar

caution to whisper to him that he

said. "and you will hear the minister
pray" This interested John at once,
and his little face took on look Of
serious attention, but his mother,
watching him covertly, saw his express

more, and he could stand 1t no longer.

AN EPOCH MAKING VOYAGE ON THE MISSOURI

Just 100 years ago the Missouri
river, and long before it had felt the
touch of keel of steamboat, flow
ing sluggishly on it's way from the
mountains to the sea, figured promi-
nently in an expedition which was
epoch making.
The Lewis and Clark expedition,
eulogized by historians, pictured by
painters and chiseled by sculptors,
as well as commemorated by worlds
fairs" took its journey up this mighty
waterway. The expedition was of
great national Importance. 1t was
authorized by act of congress upon
the urgent recommendation of Presi-
dent Jefferson. Men were chosen to
serve who by their courage, their pru-
dence and their physical endurance
were fully qualified to perform the ar
duous duties. The exploration meant
am entire separation for two years
from every port of civilization, jour.

most important rivers in North AM

ton but frail boats propelled by the
strength Of the explorers arms The
journey was into the unknown. The
expedition led across mountains of
towering difficulties and meant en-.
counters with the beasts of the wild
erness and conferences with the peo-
pie of the wilds, who had yet to be
conciliated.
The history Of this expedition was
eloquently told in Sioux City several
years ago at a meeting of the Floyd
Memorial association, August 80, 1896
by the historian, DIR. Elliott Coues. 1t
brings with its story material for a
vivid contract of the present with 100
years ago!
DR.. Coues pointed out that in 1903
the United States had nothing west
of the Mississippi. In that year one
of the greatest statesmen America ev-
er produced bought from the great
founder of the Napoleonic dynasty the
whole country between the British
and Spanish possessions, which by the
French had been called Louisiana,
