 Chautauqua closed one of it's most successful years here Friday evening with a banner crowd. That evenings entertainment and the performance of the evening before can easily be classed as the best of the whole week. The children's pageant, "The Wop," went we'll and all those who took part in it as well as the young woman who coached them are in line for a good amount of praise. Following this was the entertainment by the McGrath brothers. The people showed so much interest in the future during this per- formance that the brother who sang of what might happen one hundred years from now found it hard to leave the stage The last event of the evening and of the whole Chautauqua in fact was the work of Pamahasika's pets. l human intelligence, and it can truly be said that they had the house with them Their master deserves to be congratulated for the patience which he had to use in teaching these pets. The address by Captain Vickers on Thursday evening was surprising along the line of revelations. He gave the situation between our country and his country-England- a clear manner. Throughout his whole talk he was always4clear and no one ce.-!d have any reason for misunderstand- ing. It was decided to bring Chau- tauqua here next year, so we can all look forward to five interesting days next summer. ' nowadays? Ask almost anyone in Monson. Nearly everybody ill that town turned their footsteps toward Cushman field Saturday afternoon, ex- pecting to see their team trim their rival from few stations down the c. V. line. They were disappointed as far as victory was concerned, but were treated to an exceedingly good game. Rooters were there for both sides, and constant chatter or stream of "crabbing" started with the opening frame. At first it seemed as though the umpire was given to mak- ing bad decisions, but he soon got his eye and it must be admitted that he umpired in fine style. It was in the second inning that Calchera brought in the first run of the game and then the roofing became roar. In the sixth inning Gilman crossed the plate for another tally. The way Monson made their run in the last of the ninth is deserving of an explanation. With one out ROurke came up to bat and lifted one over third into some long grass just beyond the base line. Dickey ran in to get the ball but could not find it. Rourke stopped at first, saw that the ball was lost and raced to second where he went through simi-
 lar manouvers then hiked to third. Just then Dickey found the ball and
 Rourke had to stay at the third sta tion. The next batter up hit the ball
 and while it was being fielded to first Rourke came in. The next man to bat
 was put out and all sorts of yells were let loose as the fans left the field Among the happenings in this game l that will be remembered is the support given by the Stafford players to their pitcher Monson's players might have hit over stone wall, but they could
 not get by Stafford's fielders. The To- ca1 lads uavor n1avad halter and fh c fact that Monson held them down SC we'll shows what a strong team they have, one that they can we'll be proud
 of and team to fear. Stafford's man. agement intend to try to get a i've game series with the MOnson team, SC some good ball playing is sure to be ! ,oa thic
