WINTERS FIRST sNoWsToRM
Continues from Sunday Afternoon Al
most to Tuesday Noon

The winters first snowstorm, which
began at SIS Sunday afternoon
and continued without intermission
throughout Monday and Monday
night, came to a final stop at II
o'clock Tuesday forenoon, after about
five inches had fallen. Had not the
snow of Sunday night and Monday
melted about as fast as it fell the
storm would have been record
breaker.
AS it was however it was some
storm for the first effort of the winter
of 1861, and an Augusta citizen
who keeps a record of the weather
from year to year remarked yesterday
that it was the heaviest November
snowstorm which had occurred since
the storm of Thanksgiving time, 1898,
when the steamer Portland was lost.
The latter storm was of the blizzard
type and blocked everything in the
traffic line. The storm which ceased
yesterday forenoon came quite a bit
earlier than the storm of 1898, and it
was only by combination of circum-
stances that the precipitation did not
exceed that of the storm mentioned
above, for it was of longer duration.
The storm brought out all the fea-
lures that come with snowstorm in
mid-winter, the sidewalk plows and
the snow shovels and the men with
the sand pals. which latter feature is
necessary to make the gentle slopes of
Augustus hills safe for travel by pc
destrians. And last of all the street
railway company had it's snowplows
out to clean up along the lines of track.
few sleighs were out and of course
the small boy had to give his sled an
airing. Several people found slippery
places on the sidewalks and promptly
sat down on them, but it was not
learned that there were any serious
r.. ults. Taken in all the first snow
stern of the winter in Augusta brought
with it the same picture that has been
seen many times during the winters
| that now are history.

KENT'S HILL NOTES

At the semi-annual meeting of the
Epworth League a new set of officers
was elected for the balance of the con-
ference year. Professor Clarke, who
inaugurated the League last year
asked to be relieved from the position
of president of the League, stating
that this important position should be
in the hands of one of the students if
the EpwOrth League is to be a truly
student organization. Hjalmar Han
son of Berlin, N. H., was accordingly
elected president. 1t was wise choice
for Mr.. Hanson is very popular and
has a high standing with his school
mates. He is preparing for the min
istry at Kent's Hill. Annie Gregory Of
Franklin, Mass, was elected first vice.
president and will have charge Of the
program of meetings. Miss Mildred
Russell. who is also superintendent Of
the children's Sunday school. has been
elected second vice-president and will
have the missionary services under her
charge. Edith Bamford of Fayette
was elected third vice-president and is
to direct the social service depart
ment, while Miss Ware of Whitefield
is to have charge of the recreation as
fourth vice-president. Georgia Dun
ton of Whitefield was elected secretary
and Margaret Whittemore of Fayette
was chosen as treasurer. Miss Bagley
of the Conservatory faculty will con-
tinue as accompanist.
The Breeze went to press today and
promises to be beautiful number
with its holiday cheer and the Christ
mas spirit with which 1t is filled. Mr..
Bigelow and his co-workers have COL
lected together many interesting notes
from the alumni and the number will
be fundamentally an alumni number.

comprising

The Meistersingers, comprising
Americas three leading quartets, the
Harvard. Shubert and Weber, is with
out question the greatest singing or
ganization Of its kind in existence.
The late B. F. Keith discovered the
Meistersingers in 1911 and engaged
them for week at his Boston Play
house. They proved an instantaneous
success. crowds were turned away, and
1t was necessary to extend the engage
ment to six weeks to satisfy the pub
lie.
Mr.. Keith then took them to his
beautiful Palace Theatre in New York
where they received a similar ovation,
the New York papers stating that they
could be retained indefinitely.
Every year since then they have re-
peated their success in Boston and New
York, and in addition have had extend
ed engagements at Keith's Washing
ton, Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Chi
cago houses. They have also been
hailed with delight by ord-breaking
audiences in nearly every other large
city in the United States and Canada.
With the exception Of their annual
engagements at Keith's houses, 1t is
doubtful if the Meistersingers have
ever given an evenings entertainment
in combination with other talent. But
