SPORTING NOTES.

Those fast coming Alerts again
surprised the basket ball fans by
defeating the Rink Five on Satur-
day night in a rough and tumble
game. The feature of the game was
the defensive work of both teams,
there being very little shooting done
by either, a total of only seven field
goals being made. 1t was the clos
est game ever seen in the Rink and
the result was in doubt until the
very last. Final score, IL to II.

SCRANTON Auto Show.

Scranton outdid herself in the au-
tomobile show held in the Thirteenth
Regiment armory last week. The
display was we'll arranged and all
the well-known make cars were rep
resented. One hundred cars were
upon the floor The largest exhibit
was that of the Anthracite Motor
Car company, J. J. Curt, proprietor,
twelve cars being in the display.
The spacious drill hall was artis-
tically decorated with overhanging
streamers and garlands of electric
bulbs, making a very pretty effect,
especially in the evening.
Automobiles were not all that
were displayed. There were repre-
sentatiyes Of refining oils, motor
cycles, aeroplanes, etc, present. A
fine model of the Curtis flying ma
chine was suspended from the CELL
ing near the entrance of the building
and caused considerable comment.
Nightly musical programs were
rendered under John T. Watkins
leadership. The success of the show
is given principally to Hugh b. An
drews, manager, and w. C. Com
stock, advertising manager.
A number of Honesdale and Wayne
county auto enthusiasts were in at
tendance at the show, which is pro-
nounced 10 have been one of the best
and finest ever held in this section of
the state.
1t is claimed that orders were left
for cars by several Wayne counteans.

regulation army fare, was conspicu-

many other good things to eat that
one hardly knew where to begin,
much less where to stop. With men
tai and physical man properly salts
fed everybody went back to the
lodge room, and visited Sonner's S
orchestra and the Maple City Fife

sion with wartime airs. And Mrs.

different patriotic songs. She SEEM

JOY herself. The soldiers in spirit
tented again on the old camp
ground They dreamed of march
ing through Georgia with Sherman.
Before their minds eye came up a
picture of Lees surrender at Appo-
matox Court House. They remem-
bered the stirring days of '6l, when
John Browns body lay a mouldering
in the grave, while they fought and
bled that his soul might go marching
on. The wee sma' hours of the
morning found them still singing,
loath to leave the camp fire, and
the goodly fellowship of comrades
tried and true.

that he had changed the whistle and

they had accepted the borough ad-
Vertising statement contract at the

Under the head of communica-

nineteen residents and property
holders living on Spring street, ask
ing that the name of the thorough
rare bechanged to the more euphoni-
Gus title of West Side Avenue. Their

DIOGeeulnGS,
Prof Harry A. Oday, accompanied by
Mr.. E. E. Williams, dropped in on the
meeting. Prof. Oday was given the
floor and asked to state his mission.
Responding, he said:
The other day we had a little
meeting of the foremen and asso-
clate companies foremen. We were
discussing how to get the most out of
4
ment; how to work together for the
best interests of the borough. This
question was brought up, the uues-
tion of taking the fire engine outside
of the borough. Texas No. 4 and the
Alerts come in at every call, and do
all they can. AS l understand it. the
engine is not to be taken out of the
borough except by consent of the
Council. ! would advise that it be
put in charge of the department, and
permission to take it given if they
deem best"
The council thought the sugges-
tion was very good one, and upon
looking up the ordinance on the
subject, it was found that the Fire
Chief was permitted to let the en-
CINE go out OF the borough, If he saw
fit to do so.
A resolution was also presented
from Hose Co. No. l asking for the
Following equipment: New hose
truck, two "Y's," with two water
gates, 100 feet of half-inch rope, two
new nozzles, 1000 feet of new hose,
two fire axes, etc. 1t was estimated
that this equipment would cost about
$l237.50. Fire Chief Oday thought
there was enough hose in the bor-
ough, and suggested that No. l
ought to have a cart, and that II
would be better to send 500 or 600
feet OF hose down from Protection
co. No. 3. Mr.. Erik, chairman OF the
Fire committee, was instructed to
look into the cost of the equipment
needed, and call special meeting of
the Council to take action on the
matter. About $137 was the esti-
mated cost or the equipment No.
needs, exclusive of the hose.
Secretary Erik read a copy OF a
letter OF thanks he had written to
director OF Public Safety w. G.
O'Malley, Scranton, expressing the
appreciation of the Council for the
hose loaned the Borough Fire De-
partment the day following the great
