Celebrates Mid Lent.

On Thursday evening OF last week
a company of Skowhegan young peo-
pie, chiefly members of st. Mary's
parish, were hidden to the home of
Miss Ella Lashon on North avenue to
participate in costume party and to
note the passing of Mid Lent. The
twenty eight guests arrived about
eight O'Clock, all dressed after the
styles in vogue of 100 years ago.

garments actually worn by the grand
parents and great grand parents of
the young people, carefully preserved
through several generations. A chat
ing dish lunch was served at eleven
O'Clock. Miss Esther Roullard of
Gardiner, formerly of this place, who
had been In town for a few days as
the guest of her parents, was among
those present.
The committee chosen to award
prizes for the most appropriate Co.'S

Water for County Buildings.

The deep driven we'll at the Court
house has been completed and the
final test of its capacity was made
yeste rday. One thousand gallons
were taken out in one hours pump
ing, and at the end of that period 80
feet of water was left in the well,
showing that the supply, at the rate
of 1000 gallons per hour, was practi-
cally inexhaustable In half an hour
after the pumping ceased the water
had resumed its original level, only
IA feet from the surface. Tests taken
some time ago showed a supply
which was practically ample, but it
was thought best TO remove an impos-
siple doubt in the matter and the
drilling was continued until yester-
day, the completed depth being 100
feet.
The county had been paying 1852
per year for water for the Courthouse
and Jail, chiefly to the Skowhegan
Water Company. This is the interest

and pumping machinery. Aside from
the economy to be secured, the con-
sideration Of an independent and I'M
limited supply OF pure water is Of
great advantage.

SCOTS WINNERS ON
THE SOCCER FIELD
EngIiShmen Show Poor Form
i'm Championship Game and
Are Beaten, 6 to
By BOB SHAND

The English soccer players went up
against another Bannockburn at Free
mans park, Oakland, yesterday after
noon when they essayed to teach the
native Scots few things about the
game. The final score was to 1 in
favor of the lads who wrestle with
their Rs, and it might have been 10
had not Lewis, the English goal keeper,
played stone wall game. The Scots
game, and in the second half toyed
with their brethren from south of the
Tweed. The Englishmen played a man
short in the last period, Gore being
ruled off for impolite attentions to
his clubmate, Scott.
The teams lined up as originally
chosen, and the seasons record crowd
gave the lads every encouragement to
do their best. Scotch and English flags
were in evidence everywhere and a va
riety of accents tore holes in the at
mosphere. The Scots wore the white
jerseys of the Thistles, while the En-
glishmen Sported the crimson of the
Barbarisns.
The sons Of Albion registered first,
three minutes after the start but the
goal was somewhat of a f1uke. Pike
drove a warm one toward the goal and
Selkirk made powerful return. The
ball struck Elliot and rebounded
through the goal. Five minutes later
the Scots evened up matters, Duncanson
crashing the ball into the net after
Munro had smashed the cross bar from
a pass from Scott. McKiernon missed
by inches a few minutes later, and at
the other end Walters experienced hard
luck with a good shot. The Scots gave
Lewis a lot of work to do at this
stage, and the San Francisco man
showed that he is one of the best in
the business. About the middle of this
half McKiernon got the ball in the
middle of the field and passed it for
ward to Scott. The latter gave it to
Munro and the entire forward line came
down the field in a pretty passing run.
Twenty yards from the goal Aitken
reIinquished possession in favor OF
Welsh and the latter put the ball where
it did the most good. The score was
2 to j at half time.
The Scots literally helped themselves
in the final period, the forwards giving
a dazzling display of team work which
kept the other fellows guessing.
The English team gave a poor ex-
hibtion. Watson and Lewis being the
only players to show worthy form,
#. James Duncan was the referee.

LANG KNOCKS OUT
BOB fITzSIMMONS
Old Ring FavOrife Puts Up q
Game Fight, but Is FIOOred
Twice i'm Twelfth

SYDNEY, n. S. W., Dec 2T.-Bill
Lang, Australian heavy weight,
knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons in the
twelfth round of their fight at Rush
cutters bay stadium today. The fight
was evenly contested up TO the last
round, when Lang forced Fitzsimmons
to the ropes, knocking him down with
a right hand blow to the jaw, and,
when he arose. sent him to the floor
senseless with right hand uppercut.
Fitzsimmons had not appeared in the
ring in Australia since he left here for
the United States many years ago, and
when he climbed through the ropes
today he was given an enthusiastic re-
ception. The veteran looked to be In
splendid condition after his long period
of preparation.
The fight opened rather tameIy, Lang
showing his extreme nervousness. He
was frequently hooted for holding in
the clinches and frequently butting his
opponent and refusing to break clean.
Fitzsimmons, on the contrary, fought
cleanly, and quickly became the. favor
ite with the crowd.
AS the fight progressed. Lang ac-
quired confidence and forced the pace,
but Fitzsimmons cleverly evaded his
GuSHeS anu SiCdAA
blows on the face and body. In a hot
rally in the eleventh round Fitzsim-
mons cut Lang's right eye severely
with a left hand punch.
When the twelfth and last round
opened Lang rushed Fitzsimmons
through the ropes and floored him with
right hand swing.
Fitzsimmons took the count of nine
and rose groggy. Lang was at him
fiercely as soon as he regained his feet,
battering the tottering veteran about
the ring. He forced Fitzsimmons
against the ropes, and, with a hard
right uppercut on the jaw, sent him
down and out
Lang was a strong favoritte in the
betting at odds of one to two. His
weight was announced at 1SS pounds.
while FitZsimmons gave his as l56
pounds. Arthur Scott was the referee.
The weather was warm. Twelve thou
sand spectators witnessed the fight.
