SILVER TROPHY CUP
Presented Putnam High School Team
as Champions in Basketball League.

The silver trophy cup emblematic of
the championship of the Quinebaug
Valley Basketball league was present.
ed Putnam High school team, as play
ing representatives of the institution
and to the school as a whole, by Supt.
H. W. Files at the high school build
ing Monday morning.
The cup is a beauty and is engraved
with the legend of Putnam's victory
after season Of strenuous competi-
ton and one in which the team lost
only one league game, believed to be
the best record ever made by a Put
nam High school basketball team.
The presentation of the cup followed
the adjustment of the protest of Kill
lingly High school, which contested for
the championship in two post-season
games.
Added to-. the trophies at the high
school, the cup was an object of adj
miration Monday, as it will be, and an
inspiration, too, for the teams that are
to follow through the coming years.
A Spring Day-oVerhead.
Monday was another magnificent
spring day-overhead. Monday was a
sweet, balmy day-overhead. In fact,
| it was such a swell day-overhead-
| that most people spent at least a part
| of their time talking about it-over
| each others heads-but under foot
why, the worst that can be said about
it isn't half sufficient. On the high
way between this city and South
| Woodstock, only four miles away, ten
men were engaged during the after
moon in shoveling a right of way that
was expected to finally rediscover the
state road, which at present is buried
in stretches under three feet of snow
| and slush. The difficulties of travel
over it can be imagined.
| Going south, to Danielson, the state
| road is also submerged. One loca'
man who tried to drive a machine
through got as far as the David Clarke
place, on the outskirts of this town, and
had to return. His powerful machine
could not drive it's way through the
terrible going. Much the same con.
dltionS prevail on other much Travelled
roads hereabouts. The advice of au
tomobile owners who have tried tn,
roads to those who have not is OF leav,
the machines in the garages for a few
days more. Then the going is expected
to be tolerable.

A Petrograd despatch of March Is
told of a statement made to the duma
by Minister of War Pilvanoff regarding
the closing of the Putiloff works, the
minister explaining that demand for
an increase in wages in the electric
shops had been followed by a strike,
but that the works had been reopened
after an agreement was reached only
| to be closed again after workmen in
other departments had demanded in
creases which were not conceded in

ReInterments At eettxsburu.

The work of reinterring the dead on
the field OF Gettysburg began on the
twenty-seyenth OF October, 1868, ana
was completed on the eighteenth OF
the following March. The number re
buried was thirty-five hundred and
seventy-fve. This does not mean that
even half the dead were found, for the
whole field was dotted with graves.
In reinterring the bodies in the ceme-
terry every effort was made to discover
the identity of the men and this in
many cases was done and the relatives
of the dead soldier had his remains
taken home, the identification being
made through articles found on his
body. An entry of each article found
was made. These things are kept and
numbered to correspond with the num-
ber of the gravestone OF him upon
whose body the articles were found.
The following is an example OF the
record:
