Academy Notes.

Last Saturday evening in spite of the

trimmed in red white and blue with silk

otto colors. Those who patronized the
cosy corners found the flags draped there

ton. Hugh Mackinnon, the class presi-
dent, welcomed the company in speech
which one can truly say has never been
surpassed AZ our receptions, either in in
terest or in ease of delivery. The play,
AT Retreat. was unusually interesting
with parts well taken by William Bovn-
ton, Dale Atwood and Raymond Flint
as military men, McKirahan as negro
servant, Glen Roundy as Irish maid and
Florence Anderson and Winifred Merrill
as southern ladies. The success of the
evening was largely due to the work of
the following reception committee H,
Mackinnon, Florence Anderson, Louise
Lewis, Mary Clement, D. Emery and
McKirahan.
Miss Marion Gray, formerly of the 'Oe
class OF this school, spent few DAYS last
week with Gertrude Walch to attend the
valentine ball and the 90 reception.
Miss Sally Emery and her friend Miss
Foster of Newport were in town over
Sunday visiting friends.

A Phenomenal Voice.

Miss Grace Lavelle, who creates the
role of "The Doll'' in that great musical
absurdity, THE Toymakers, is the pos
SCISSOR of the most wonderful voice of any
operate singer in America today.
NJ. The notes of Miss Laveles voice from
High c. to G. are as sweet and pure as
those of bird. She sings high every
night with perfect ease, and then, when
her audience is KEYED to the concert pitch
of enthusiasm, she takes high G in alt
and sweeps them fairly off their feet.i
Better still this marvellous note of Miss
Lavelle's is not rasping or "screechy'
but full, round, exquisite tone, clear and
incisive in quality.
When one remembers that not one of
our Grand Opera stars can sing higher
than c, the remarkable range of Miss
Lavelle's voice, from low G to high G in
alt seems little less than marvellous.
Miss Lavelle has a pleasing personality
and this combined with her phenomenal
voice, makes her a star attraction in this
seasons production of The Toymakers. "

23RD STREETS AGAIN.

Manager Abadie is far from being sat
isfed with the result of the recent game
here and is coming back determined to
turn the tables on Company D, There
will be two nights of it this time and the
dates are this week Friday and Satur-
day. Company D is about the only good
team in the business who have not been
made to bite the dust by this fast New
York aggregation and this fact will like
ly prove an incentive to the visiting
bunch to do their best. Since leaving
here the 23rd street team have defeated
Newport Naval Reserves and Newbury-
port on their own courts, and it is the
only team who have ever beaten Gloyers-
vile and East Boston A. A. at home.
Without doubt all who attended before
will want to see this match and any who
failed to see them will surely get next this
time as it will probably be their last APP
pearance in St. Johnsbury. The game
Friday night will be called at $50 and
on Saturday night at 9 o'clock.

the story of the most memorable in

1t was the most bitterly contested game
according to the highest authorities pres

victory was well earned by the visiting
team. The first period ended with Brat
tleboro in the lead, 2 to s, but this lead
was overcome in the second and at the

COMPANY D SO. HERKIMER 81.

Company D, with Swenson back in the
lineup, made great sport of the amateur
team from Herkimer, N. Y, Saturday
night and won the game in walk by
the score of 50 to 81. The visiting team
came here we'll recommended both by
themselves and the press and it was
somewhat of surprise as well as dis
appointment, both to the management
and the small crowd in attendance, that
they should make such poor showing.
The locals adopted the amateur style
of play for the evening, and while they
did very well considering their lack of ex-
perience in this style, it was easy to see
where they are handicapped when up
against fast team and forced to play
under amateur rules. The game was
without features, unless Toby's drive the
full length of the hall, which rolled
around on the edge OF the basket, might
be mentioned. The summary:
