Miss Seabury, who had been down

to continue. but the committee and
the townspeople thought otherwise.
There was general feeling that en-

education.
There was difference of opinion
concerning Miss Seabury's successor.
A portion of the townspeople were for
hiring a graduate of the state normal
school, young woman with modern
training Others, remembering that
Miss Seabury had graduated from that
school, were for proved ability and

The British champion was never in

Wells cool and calculating defense
had the American sorely puzzled, and
he repelled Browns attack from every
angle. Brown could not solve the Eng

his face with Iightning-like rapidlty and
kept the American from doing any
damage at infghting.
