man he played on the local ball team and was a liberal contributor to the fund for supporting subsequent teams One of his last acts this summer was to try to arrange for hiring an athletic field for the Center High school. MT Randall was a man of positive character, coming down as he did from one of the strong families of this section. He was not a man to run around and see now the public pulse stood. After he had thought out a matter he tenaciously hung to his opinion and was always ready to give a reason for the faith that was within him.
 Naturally >austere and somewhat bluff in his manner, he was some times misunderstood, but never existed more warm-hearted, tender spirited man, who became the. loyal friend when he was understood. Mention should be made of his active interest iii the affairs of Lake Waramsdg He was one Of the leading spirits in the Lake Waramaug Protective association and one of the earnest promoters of the Lane Waramaug Golf club. He was fortunate in having one of the choicest locations for cottage on Lake Waramaug, his cottage being located on a point jutting out into the water and located in the midst of a grove. ., "...'

 Sunset and evening star,
 And one clear call for me!
 And may there be no moaning of the bar, When put out to sea.
 But such tide as moving seems asleep. Too full for sound and foam.
 When that which drew from out the bound- less deep
 Turns again home.
 Twilight and evening bell,
 And after that the dark
 And may there be no sadness of farewell. When embark;
 For tho from out our bourne of Time and The flood may bear me far. s I hope to see my Pilot face to face
 When have crossed the bar.
