tower door window has been broken. The girls say they wish the same might be replaced by the breaker, as it puts tion.
 1 The nature of the last entertainment in the course has not yet been decided upon. An effort was made to have the ! Canaan dramatic club come and present the drama Nevada but they found va rious obstacles in the way of complying with the request.
 It is reported that Miss Abbott and Miss Moffatt of New Haven are to erect large and handsome residence in tho section known as Stony Brook which is remarkably fine location. John Kel- ley has been employed as foreman and one of his first jobs will be to lay pipes to the house from never-failing spring. Deputy sheriff Isaac P. Hornbeck of Falls Village was in town Friday. MT. Hornbeck says that the suggestion of our townsman, I. N. Bartram, relative to rejuvenating the old Battle Hill church the first Methodist meeting house in New England, is looked upon with favor by the people of Falls Village and vicin- ity.

Y. for two years has excepted call to the pastorate of the United Congrega tionnl church, Lee Avenue and Hooper St Brooklyn, N. Y. beginning his ministry there March 1st.

 Last Saturday night the blue and white of Cauaan and the 1st grey and red of Sharon assembled at the Casino to play a return game of basket ball. The Canaan girls did some quick work. The Sharon girls did their best which they always do do. But the size and weight of Canaan which was greater than that of Sharon overcams for all of Sharons good work. After the game there was 8 social hop given to entertain the visit ing team, music furnished by Miss Mable Haines. All enjoyed the few hours greatly. On Sharon's side MabIe Hotaling and Clara Peabody made goal apiece and Miss Hotaling one free throw Score was 6-3 favor of Canaan.
 The Hayden Trio of Boston, assisted by Percy Jewett Burrall, reader, also of Boston made the fifth evening of the entertainment most enjoyable one. The trio consisted of Miss Eleanor Hay den, organ chimes, mandolin and xylo-
 phone, Edith Wales, piano, and Edwin Powell, violin. Every number was of
 high order and by enthusiastic applause,
 demanding encore after encore, the audience demonstrated its appreciation. We would especially mention Wagner Evening Star," given by the trio, with
 chimes. It was most beautiful rendi-
 tion. Miss Hayden, with mandolin ac-
 compartment sang the Evening Song,
 and the xylophone solo William Tell''
 was greatly appreciated. MT. Powell
 i'll his violin solo as well as in the trio
 attracted the attention of the audience by the clearness of tone and the masterly touch. There IS never enough credit given an accompanist. Miss Wales at
 the piano proved an ideal accompanist with remarkable accuracy and a fine touch. The musical programme was l varied by MT. BurraIl's readings
 Special mention should be made of his
 selection "The Race" From start tc finish he held his audience and carried them with him, almost breathlessly around the track. The entire pro
 gramme was excellent and we trust the : trio may visit Sharon again next winter
