Concluded from last week.)

From Prospect Mountain we went to
Martin Meadow Pond, near the foot OF
the mountain, where at improvised
tables in q grove on the shore We had a
"clambake" prepared by the Lancaster
people. Yes, it was a clambake all right,
as the steaming heap gave testimony
but wait till you hear what came first.
The first thing, then, was bowl OF
fish chowder at each place. After we
had acquired the comfortable and almost
satisfied feeling which that produced,
they began to bring on things to eat.
Mashed potato, sliced bam, fresh peas,
tomatoes and cucumbers, salad, and q
few other things which do not now re.
call, heaped up In generous serving on
the plates, together with coffee and Incl
deutals. And then, after these prelimi-
naries, when every body was full to the
limit, they brought on the CLAIMS. Most
Of us were able to eat one or two, just to
give testimony to their toothsomeness,
not because we needed them.
Say, I've seen some layouts for feed
but never did l see the equal OF that.
In all, including those who served, near.
ly hundred people ate. II they had
had fifty more people, all could have bad
a sufficiency.
Sunday morning, after the group had
had it's picture "took" on the hotel steps,
we loaded into thirteen automobiles
most of them provided by the Board OF
Trade, and started on q forty-five mile
ride to the Balsams at Dixville Notch
where we had lunch. At Colebrook we
stopped at the Sentinel Office and emptied
a punch bowl provided by the proprietor
| and also looked the town over.
| The Balsams Is big summer hotel, al
the west entrance of Dixville Notch
There Ia q small house which Is KEPT
open through the winter, and tho big
house was opened for the season the day
before We we're there. The proprietor
Mr.. Hale, was there and took muct
pains to entertain the visitors. Unlike
some large enterprises, this house II
owned by one man. He also owns abou
everything else In sight, one item beinG

great beauty spots Of the country. Inci
dentally he is going to provide bis guests

sire and that their money can pay for
After lunch Mr.. Hale showed as over {
portion of the property, though We were
able to take only glance at 1t.
From the Balsams the main party re
turned to Lancaster, to remain there TO
the night, and disperse to their homes o,

headed for home In the opposite direc

WARD TEAMS MAY
Be CONSOLIDATED
Representatives of Amateur
Teams Gather at High School
and Discuss Plans For Sea-
Son-SeVeraI Talks Made.

Future prospects of the Ward
leagues loom up considerably brighter
following the meeting of all the teams
concerned at the high school building
Friday night IA the meeting a rep
resentative was present from nearly
every team, and a good line was Sc
cured on the number &c entries.
1t was found that in some of the
wards not enough players could he
banded together to form even one
team, such being the case in the third
and sitXh wards, and it was decided
to let the boys in these wards play
with the teams in some other ward.
The definite assignment of wards did
not take place, but will probably occur
next Tuesday night.
In the third ward a canvas Of the
schools found six boys who were will
ing to enter the league, while the
sixth ward does not seem to enter in
TO the spirit of the affair The ward
is composed mostly of foreigners, and
the boys are accustomed TO playing
ball Sunda yafternoOns and not on
Saturday, and have not taken the mi
tiative in forming a league.
Several wards where not enough
teams were organized to form a sep
arate League will be consolidated. This
will probably occur in the first and
fifth wards. In the first ward at least
three clubs Will enter the field while
the same number will enlist in the
fifth. The joining OF these two wards
will form a compact six club Organiza-
ton. Five clubs have registered in
the seventh ward, while a six club
league has been enrolled in the sec
Ond ward. The fourth ward has three
teams in the unlimited class and two
teams in the 125-pOund class.
1t was decided at the meeting that
as very few 125-pound teams were en-
tered that all these teams would be
joined in a city wide league
Talks at the meeting were given by
DR.. +. r. Carson, former head Of the
Central league; Municipal Recreation
Director +. b. Barnes, VIM. McQuaid.
president of the second ward league;
Ordo Barrett, secretary of the ANA
teur Athletic federation, aud A. II.

Two races, the 100 and 220-yard
dashes. in which Hardy of.Notre Dame
and Smith of Michigan will be the
star performers, are expected to be
two of the best track events seen at
NOtre Dame in years. The contests
are scheduled in the Irish Wolverine
meet on Cartier field at 3 o'clock this
afternoon.
Both Smith and Hardy were entered
in the 1OO-yard dash at Philadelphia
one week ago. Both were beaten by
Drew by a matter of inches.
Despite the fact that Notre Dame
was defeated overwhelmingly by Mich
igan in the indoor meet held at Ann
Arbor last February, Coach Farrell
of Michigan comedies that this fact
cannot be taken as a just criterion of
far the largest track squad leaving
Michigan this year was brought to
South Bend last night. All men who
had a chance of winning points made
the trip.
There viii be six events on the out
door program which were not in the
indoor meet. including the broad jump
two-mile, 100 and 22O-yard dashes,
hammer and discus throws.
Bachman of the local squad sue
ceeded in hurting the discus 137 IL
feet in the Penn game last Saturday
which is a full foot better than the
highest mark made by Cross of the
Wolverines. Bachman also took first
in the hammer in the indoor meet at
Michigan. In fact, Bachman is fore
casted to cop first in all the weight
events this afternoon.
Recent reports from the Wolverine
camp are to the effect that Coach

Republican ranks, despite all the talk
of harmony and party regularity.
The Deneen-West crowd is closer to
Sullivan than to Thompson, and Re
publican leaders with state ambitions
are stringing their wires for the state
election next year on the assumption
that Republican governor will be
elected. Some of them will fear the
strength of Thompson in state poll
tics if he is elected mayor of Chicago.
And undoubtedly there are RepUb-
ican leaders who would feel entirely
comfortable if Thompson were de-
feated for mayor and out of the way
next year. Among these may be the
publishers of Republican papers in
Chicago who would prefer Repub-
ican governor they can handle and
who feel their advertising interests
would be safer in SUlliVan's hands
than in Thompson's.
Before the primaries the undercuT-
rent was for Sweitzer and Thompson,
and both were nominated. Now the
UndercuTrent appears to be with
thompson, despite the big start
Sweitzer has in the Democratic ma
jority in Chicago. This UndercuTTent
isn't controlled by the newspapers.
It is the sentiment of the people
themselves. Events may transpire
that will change it, for you never can
tell what will happen in politics.
Either of the candidates may make
a break that will break him.
It's always a good plan for indie
pendent voters to not commit them
selves too early in the campaign.
They might want to change their
minds. Better first be sure what all
candidates stand for, and then vote
as you please.
