ARTS AND CRAFTS
Fortnehtly Ladies' Saw Some Won
derfui HandiWork.

The Fortnightly Arts and Crafts
| program of Saturday at the Congre
| gational chapel was most appropri
ate one for the closing of the first
! half of the seasons meetings. as ii
| included special music, an exhibit OF
artistic hand craft and a Christmas
| tea.
The exhibit was tastefully arrang-
ed on the stage and at either side,
against background of dark cloth
on which were fastened many of the
delicate laces and hand woven linens
loaned by the st. Adams and Isle la
Motto ladies. The designs woven in
this linen were dyed with home made
vegetable dyes, and the colored
threads were interviewer with such
marvellous skill that this feature was
by far the most unique one of the
whole collection
In addition to many articles of fine
lace and embroidery from the ladies
of our own town there were splendid
samples of hand worked metals and
iewelry, beautifully illuminated
parrhments, decorated china, basket,
ry, and wood work from our Hign
school boys showing what fine trair
ing they are getting in this course.
Miss jeanette Perkins, chairman of
the afternoon, explained some of the
features of the exhibit, and spoke
briefly of the aims and ideals of the
Arts and Crafts movement Two
short papers were read, one mainly
historical by Mrs. j NJ. Ayres and the
other sketch of the work in Deer
field by Miss Mary Patch.
The opening musical program was
given by Abe Noyeck, violinist. ac-
companied by Duane Bassett, and the
numbers of these gifted young musi-
clans gave great pleasure Mr. No
week played "Legende" by Wieniawski
and "Scherzo" by Won Goens, re-
spending to appreciative encores
with Mac DowelPs ITO a Wild Rose.
A group OF singers including Mrs.
i. II. Ross, Mrs. J.. NJ. Ayres, Mrs II.
w Tirreil and Mrs. w ]. Meagher
sang a quaint old English carol ac-
companied in ancient fashion by the
violin alone.
In the ladies parlor the Christmas
tea arranged by Mrs. Arthur z. Hol-
lister and Miss Florence A. Wal.
bridge and exhaied the real holiday
spirit, label decorations in a rich
crimson were carried out in flowers,
candles and candies. and there was
Christmas booklet OF verse for every
one attending, the gift OF the presi-
dent. The hostesses were assisted
in serving by ten young ladies'.
The pourers we're Mrs j. NJ. Ayres

FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS BUoYANT.
Had Greater Breadth Than at Any Re-
cent Period.

New York, Dec. 27.-The final week
of the year on the stock exchange
opened with greater breadth and
buoyancy than any recent period.
Sentiment seemed to derive much en-
couragement from the movement in
United States Steel, which rose 1-2
to SO IL, it's highest quotation since
1910. Dealings in Steel were in fair
volume, ranging from individual
blocks of 1000 to 200 shares.
SteePs advance was accompanied by
the usual variety of optimistic rumors
dividend prospects and trade Condi-
tions. Activity in Great Northern Ore,
on its rise of 2 SIS to 81 as was a
material factor in the advance of Steel
and allied shares. Another advance
in refined copper to % cents per
pound gave added strength to the
metal group and high grade railways
were moved to better prices on publi-
cation of the very favorable Nocember
statements of such representative SyS-
TENS as Union Pacific and Atchison.
Other active and strong issues in
cluded Mercantile Marine common and
preferred, American Smelling, AnacOn-
da Copper, Colorado Fuel. Baldwin Lo-
connective and Mexican Petroleum, the
latter making new record on its rise
of 3 IA to 10S ga. The recognized
wa rshares were up one to three points
and Miscellaneous issues registered
The one disconcerting feature of the
session was the renewal, on a very
extensive scale, Of liquidation in An
glo-FTench war bonds, which fell to
the new maximum of "a, although
much of the trading was at slight
fractions over that quotation. Numer-
Gus theories were offered in explana-
ton of the weakness of this issue. but
no official statement was vouchsafed
Sales of bonds amounted to $780,
900 par value.
Proft-taking caused some slight re-
cessions from high prices in the lat
ter trading, but the markets tone at
the close was strong. Total sales of
stocks aggregated $4,000 shares.
Atchison's gross increase for No
vember was $1.96S,OOO with a net gain
Of $1,142,0 900 while Union Pacific gain
ed $1,797,000 and $1,155, 900 respective
ly- Coal shares were strong despite
the grave outlook in that industry re-
sulttng from the labor situation.
Firmness Of sterling and French
rates denoted renewal of purchases
of finance bills on London and Paris.
Bonds were irregular at the outset,
in sympathy with the decline in An
glo-French SIS but hardened later. To-
tai sales, par value, amounted to So
975, 900.
U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

HOPE TO ESTABLISH
UNIVERSAL AMATEUR RULE
Nearly Every Prominent Governing
Body in Range of Amateur Sports at
Conference,

New York, Dec. 27.-With a view to
establishing a universal Interpretation
of the amateur rule and the eligibility
of a person for amateur competition
in any branch of sport, nearly every
prominent governing body in the wide
range of amateur sports was repre-
scented at a conference which began
here today and will be resumed on
Thursday. In the meantime the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Association
will hold its annual meeting here and
a printed report of today's session
will be ready for the delegates so that
they will have plenty of time to digest
the suggestions offered.
At Thursdays meeting it is hoped
that some tangible definition of the
question, together with the punish
ment for infractors of rules and sug-
gestions for a partial or complete re-
storation to amateur standing of such
offenders may be agreed upon.
GustavuS Kirby of he advisory COM
mittee of the Intercollegiate Associa-
ton of Amateur Athletes of America
was chosen by reclamation as presi-
dent. He explained that while the
conference was called as a body with
out legislative or administrative pow
ers, he believed they would be able to
arrive at some definite conclusions
which would pave the way for a
clear and concise understanding of the
line dividing the amateur from the
Norwich bulletin., 1915-12-28

professional in the wide field of ath-
leticS.
Secretary Howard F. Whitney of the
United States Golf Association, said
that his association was rapidly sue
ceeding in teaching its members the
marked distinction between amateurs
and professionals by a campaign of
publicity. He hoped that the confer
ence would recommend a hard and
fast rule and the golf association
rigid enforcement.
President Robert d. Wrenn, of the
National Lawn Tennis Association,
said that while he did not wish to
give the imression that his associa-
ton had been OVERLAP, he believed
the amateur line had not been strictly
enforced. He regretted there was no
rule in tennis prohibiting the capital
ization of athletic fame, but if a def
mite rule were adopted it would be
backed up to the letter by his asso-
citation.
DIR. G. NJ. Hammond said that the
Amateur Fencers' League stood for
nothing except pure amateurism.
DIR. Reginald Sayre, for the United
States Revolver Association, said there
never was any distinction between
amateur and professional shooters and
believed it would be impracticable to
draw the line.
The North American gymnastic
.
awarded no medals or prizes other
than wreaths or diplomas, but per-
mitted professionals in any other
branch of port to an amateur landing
in gymnatics.
E. L. Mockler. speaking for the
United States Football Association,
denounced the rowing amateurs in
soccer football who travelled and
played wherever they pleased, holding
up promoters of games at will. He
believed that anyone who made money
out of football should be declared a
professional.
On behalf of the Military Athletic
League, Major r. S Cooke said that
it would be difficult to prevent anna
teurs and professionals from compel
ing on teams. Sometimes men had TO
do SO under military orders and he
said the officials could do nothing bet
| ter than dodge the issue.
| William +. Garcelon for the Nation
| al Collegiate Association, suggested
that the organized governing bodies OF
every sport shrould interpret the pro-
posed rules and make its own excep-
| tions. They should meet in a con-
| ference each year and criticize anoth-
| ers interpretations until a definite
! understanding was reached.
