The Island Pond ball team turned
he tables on the East Haven nine last
Saturday, defeating them by score of
- to 3, making honors easy. Welch
was accorded splendid support while at
lines the work of the visitors was pref
" ragged. The features of the game

xercised good Judgment, as almost
very part was typically acted out, and
he work of the actors showed careful
preparation and study. The scene of
he burning of the school house was so
veil done that the house rang with ap-
,lause The whole was an impressive
,biect lesson of the uselessness of the
common habit of criticising those en-
