BELLEVUE IN THE
PRELIMINARY FIGHT

The Wilmington High basketball
team will compete against Elkton
High tomorrow afternoon in con-
test for cage supremacy. Although
the Elktonians have not set scholas-
tic circles ahre by their marvellous
playing they are nevertheless pretty
formidable combination.
High will try to avenge the Ches-
ter defeat and will use every trick OF
the trade to trim the visitors. Sc
far the locals have won six games
and dropped four and a victory to-
morrow would be a welcome adddi-
tion to their scant collection of lm-
rel wreaths Two Of the games lost
by High were on their own floor
Chester and Delaware Freshmen each
seized a 20-17 victory and had to work
like engines to land the bacon.
Chester also took Wilmington into
hand at Chester, and the locals re-
turned with the insignificant portion
OF a 23-19 tally. The only severe wal
looping of the season was handed &c
High by Norristown who easily romp-
cd away by the overwhelming score
of 1912.
There may be a few changes IN
Highs lineup tomorrow. Polly Mat.

The action Of the New York State

one schools in all, not counting the
High School. There are also two
Universities. The Utah and The
Latter Day Saints All school books,
even pencils and paper, are furnish
ed free. Each school has its own
orchestra. We go to the Lowell
school, and have an orchestra Of
thirty pieces. Most OF the children
lii our school are Mormons, but they
are just the same as any other chill
dren, most of them being very bright
In their studies. They never men

they tell you. We sometimes go to
their great Tabernacle, which holds
5000 people. and has the largest
choir and pipe organ in the world
In this building the acoustics are 50
good that you can stand in one end
OF the building and hear pin drop
150 feet away. We attend the Bap-
tist church and Sunday School. We
certainly have a fine church. 1t cost
shout $4,000, and is built Of white
Atone, after THE Roman style OF ar.
chitecture. 1t has a modern Sunday
School room, each class having q
separate room.
We often go bathing in Salt Lake
1t being rs per cent salt, we car
