Old Athletes Twenty Five Years Ago.
 The interest taken in the recent boys
 running race here recalls to the minds of the older residents the days of twenty to twenty-five years ago, when Greeneville possessed almost all the athletes of note in eastern Connecti- cut. including Bob Connors, John WaI- lace, Ed AIcMahon, G. Gadle, Billy O'Brien, Frank Murtha, Arthur Sey- mour, Barney Keenan and J. D. Nolan. Although Nolans home was in Taft vile, he ran his first race here and was a member of tho Shetueket Fire Engine company for seven years, train ing and leading the fire company to victory in the last firemen's race. The speed and pluck shown by the boys in the recent race warrants the belief that we have new crop of athletes coming.

Three Mischief Makers.
As already intimated, the three mis-
chief makers among the hawks-the
three which more than any others have
wrought to give to the hawk tribe an
unsavoTy reputatiOn-are the sharp
Skinned and the cooper hawks, and the
goshawk. They are bold, rapid fiieTs,
and prefer poultry and birds TO any
other food. The character of their
wings and tafl-the one short and the
other long enables them to wind and
twist about through the brush when In
pursuit of their prey, and they overtake
the most expert denizens of the forest

placed also the western goshawk and
the ruck hawk. Both of these are de-
structive to game birds. and the
gOshawk is a vicious visitant to the
poultry yards. Fortunately, neither OF
these birds is numerous in our state.
Five Useful Hawks.
With the beneficial species must be
placed the western red-tailed, the
Swanson. the rOugh-legged, the fer
ruginOus TOugh-legged and the sparrow
hawk. OF these, the little sparrow
hawk is the most widely distributed
and the most useful. It is everywhere
even in the towns and cities, in Salt
Lake, Ogden and Provo, as well as far
out on the desert many miles from the
nearest human habitation. This bird is
especially useful as a destroyer of
grasshOppers and other injurious in
sects.
Not to omit other members of the
tribe there should be named the prairie
falcon, the pigeon hawk, Richardson
merlin and the fish hawk, or osprey.
The last named is not frequently seen,
but have found it about Utah lake.
Golden and Bald Eagles.
Both species of American eagles
make their home in Utah. The golden
eagle is widely distributed over the
state; and. though not numerous is
frequently met with in the mountains
and higher reaches. Two years ago a
pair of these birds nested at the mouth
of Provo canyon, not far from the
works of the Telluride Power company.
Often these birds are caught In traps
