The first annual high school invita-
ton field and track meet was held
IT, the Carthage fair grounds. Thir-

it was necessary to postpone it until
May "a. This date however con.
flicted with other meets SO 1t was i'm.
possible for all the teams to be pres
emit that were entered, but neverthe-
less the eight teams that took part in

considering the fact that the track
events were run in the mud.
Clark, OF Carthage, won the indivi.
dual cup by winning three firsts, one
second and one third. He was closely
followed by Finch and Hancock OF
La Hafpe who made 161. and 10
points respectively.
Warsaw proved exceptionally strong
in the relays winning both the halt
and mile relay. Bowen won the med.
ley race in walk away. The three
relay cups were given by the literary
societies of Carthage college.
Medals were given for first, second
and third places Of gold, silver and
bronze respectively.
LaHarpe won the silver cup given
by Mr.. Odell of Keokuk for the winner
OF the meet The points stood as fol-
lows at the end of the meet: LaHarpe
431s, Carthage 81, Warsaw 26h,
Bowen 25. Colusa 5, Ferris 4, Mendon
4, Hamilton 4.
In spite Of the weather handicap the
meet was a great success in every
way. The best feeling was evident at
all times and every visiting team ex-
pressed themselves as being highly
pleased with the treatment given
them and promised to boost for the
event another year.

Harbcr for a Thousand Ships.

When Governor Phillip first saw Port Jackson, New South Wales, on the 22t of January, 17SS, he record ed his opinion that it was "One of the finest harbors in the world, in which thousand sail of the line might ride in perfect security" Roughly speaking, that remains true today, though his Majesty's ships of the line and the ships of commerce are now as much as thirty times the tonnage of the largest of Captain Arthur Phillips fleet. The harbor extends fifteen miles inland, but is so broken into by bays that it possesses a coast line of 200 miles, though it does not average a mile in width. The depth along the shores is considerable for nearly the whole way, and at the berths goes to sixty feet, which is a long way in excess of the available depth of any other port in the world At the entrance the low est depth is eighty feet, and just in side the fairway divides into two chan nes, with a minimum width of TOO feet. and a depth of forty feet at low wateE.

CALLS OFF SERIES
Tactics of Manager Spear, of Middle
 town Prompts Action by Manager SIater-To Play NutmegS Tuesday,

The third game between the local Y. M. C. A. basketball team and the MiddletOWn quintet scheduled to be played in the West Middle gymnasium in Hartford next Tuesday afternoon has been cancelled, according to 8 statement made by Manager Slater, of the local team, this morning. The reason is the unsportSmanlille conduct of the MiddletOWn team, which re- fuses to play the third game with 'DiclI' Dillon, of Hartford, as referee, According to the agreement between the two teams. Dillon was to referee the last two games of the three gamc series. This agreemen was made by both teams and in good faith, but now MiddletoWn refutes it's own agree ment. Furthermore, the MiddletoWn team refuses 10 play next Tuesday, the reason being still unknown.
 The two teams were playing each other for the championship of this state and the right to play the fast '. M. C. A. team of Springfield for the honors of New England. One game had been won by each team, as New Britain evcned up the series in this city last night. With the last game on q neutral floor. the local team felt confident of winning.
 Manager Slater states, however, that he will not disappoint the followers of the team and has secured a gam me with the fast Nutmeg team of Hart ford. This game will be played in place of the one already scheduled in the West Middle gymnasium at 8:1 ) clock Tuesday night. Dancing will follow the game.
 1t is probable that the local '4'' team will play the Sprin gf1eld team without finishing the MiddletoWn series

The facilities for docking are much larger than those of any other port in Australia. The harbor Is very we'll lighted from the great South Head Lighthouse right up to the farthest point in use.
 The port of Sydney is obviously destined to be the greatest entrepot of the Southern world, and with juds- cious management should be a very big factor in the development of for eign trade after the war.
