Luck was against the High school
eleven last Saturday when she met her
first defeat at the hands of Pittssord
High eleven at Pittsford. NJ. H. S.
clearly outplayed their opponents in
every stage of the game and would have
run up good score only for a few in
complete forward passes which were
costly. Middlebury's line was as firm as
iron and most of Pittsford's gains were
made by punts. The score at the end of
the game was P. H. S. en-. H. s. 0.

The Ringing Bros, in an inter-
view In New York in April of this
year, made the statement that they
owed their success to the greatest
of all showmen, Yankee Robinson
For two seasons the Ringing show
endeavored to pilot their show on
the sea of circusdom, but met with
disaster each time and wendell their
way back to Baraboo Finally Yam
kee Robinson took the then young
Ringing Bros. up and with the Yam
kee Robinson & Ringing Bros. Show
made a success. This continued for
some time. finally Yankee Robinson
and the Ringing separating. Today
these two mammoth shows continue
to rule the world of cireusdom, and
each one is credited with having the
best circus performances and menag'
erie carried with tented organiza-
tions Both shows are still on friend
ly FERNS, each one contented with
the territory allotted them each
season. The only possible friction
between the two big shows is during
the winter months when some big
foreign .act is. desired by each show.
The Yankee Rabinson Shows has the
Ringlings bested insthis regard, hav-
ing formed an alliance with the great
vaudeville interests of the country
and having the only high-class vaud-
eville house operated on the big, cir
cult However, the early friendship
of these two shows is so strong that
Ringlings are loaned many features
not desired by the Yankee Robinson
Shows: for instance, the Patty troupe
now the big feature of the Ringing
show, was exhibited by the present
management of the Yaknee Robin
son Shows two seasons prior to the
Ringing engagement. Both shows
are better equipped this season
Their is no truth in the report that
both shows will combine for the
Seattle Exposition, statements TO the
contrary Notwithstanding.

following:
Mr.. F. B. Blair,
City Attorney, Manchester
Dear Sir:
i am in receipt of your favor
of August Z, relative to the use
of siren whistles on excursion
trains passing through your city,
which has resulted in lessening
the efficiency of the volunteer
fire department by reason of the
fact that the fire alarm whistle,
which is located in close proximity
to, our tracks. is of the same pat
tern and has resulted in confu-
ison, the fire department being
called out on one or two occasions
when excursions sounded their
siren, thinking it was an alarm
OF fire, and beg to advise that l
have issued instructions that sir
en- whistles on excursion trains
shall not be sounded while such
trains are passing through Man
chester,
| fully appreciate the undesir-
ability of false fire alarms of this
character, and shall follow this
matter up closely with view to
seeing that instructions which |
have Issued are strictly complied
with.
Yours firmly
