A fast team from Jewett City play ed at Moosup Sunday afternoon and defeated the Riverside club nine in a speedy and exciting game on the car pet ground. the score being , to 2. Until the eighth inning both teams played perfect ball, neither being able to score run. The first of the eighth the visitors started the pill rolling for several neat bingles and managed to get two run lead on the Riverside aggregation. The last of the ninth looked pretty blue for the home team with two out and man on first and second. With things in this condition Larose, the outfielder for the local team took his position at the plate. The first ball thrown he walloped to deep centre for a three ba gger, scoring two runs, making it a necessity for more innings. The first of the tenth Jewett City started things moving again and when the dust settled the score stood 5-2 in their favor. River side failed to get any more runs and thus a fine game ended with the large end of the score on the wrong side ot the ledger to please the local fans.

Stafford has gone. through it's sec ond season Of Chautauqua and it was even more successful than the first year. On account of so many other calls for money this year it was feared that 1t might not have been a finan- cial success. The guarantors instead of having a deficit this year had a surplus. The programme during the week was highly entertaining as well as educational and was evidently ap- preciated by the large number which attended the performances especially i'll the evening. The tent accommo- dates 800 people and very few vacant seats were noticed at any evening performances. The Junior Chautauqua under the able direction of Miss Fitch, together with the fine concert ny the Swiss yodlers and the patriotic address Why America Fights. by Carleton Chamberlayne was a fitting close Of the weeks programme. More than loo guarantors have | sighed the contract for next year. On Bacation.
