The Dayis-Elkins game is hardly e1-
pected to cause the Varsity to extend
itself but the contest with Pitt will un-
questionably rank with the ". & j..
game, March Sth, as the best Of the
entire home season. DayisEkins has
when the Varsity won here by. a one
sided score. but the Randolph county
team is not up to the standard which
three or four years ago caused It to
be ranked among the very best in this
section. Nevertheless Dick Hamiil,
one Of the former stars there is coach
ing the seam and has brought about
wonderful Improvement in the play Of
the five.
The Pitt game should be hummer.
Pitt was t;sorganized or rather, was

say that the only fault to be found with any part was the one played by the audience, who did not seem to use their hands as freely after each num- Der as they should, but their pleasure was undeniably expressed on their conferences, if not on their hands. Another reason for the seeming lack of hand-clapping was the "sardine" manner in which the hundreds were packed into the auditorium, which by the way proved to be about third large enough.
 Taking the weather conditions into consideration, and the wonderful sue cess of the circus, demand has been made on the promoters to have the main show staged again one night next week to give others in the city an opportunity to see what they missed last night and it will probably be put on again.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL CIRCUS
 SCORES SUCCESS

The money will be used for pay ing for additional seats installed and some other improvements in the build ings.
 The circus is the result of days of work and preparation by both the teachers and pupils of the grammar and primary schools, who devoted ex- tra hours and untiring efforts toward making it not only a success but a paying proposition. Be it said to the credit of the teachers especially, and all who contributed in any way, every one who paid to see the sights came away more than pleased, it being truly worth going through the rain to witness.

REFUSAL TO ACCEPT
AFFIDAVIT HkLTS SUIT

The $4,000 suit of Capt. Adel Solar,
an officer in the Chilean navy, against
2. Hall Shurts, New London real
estate agent, which was to have been
tried before a jury in the superior
court in New London Wednesday
morning, was continued after the
case was apparently ready for trial.
The suit arose from an alleged
forced ejectment of the plaintiff by
the defendant from a house in Elliott
avenue, New London, which the
former rented through the agency OF
Mr.. Shurts. 1t is claimed that on or
about Feb. Z, 1918, the defendant en-
tered the house occupied by Captain
Solar and thrust his servant out. and
took possession Of the house without
due process of law. This action on
the part of the defndant was taken
despite the fact that Captain Solar
owed nothing either to the defend
ant or the owner of the house and
was the result of an alleged claim tor
DANA ges of s53, arising out of alleged
misuse of the house during Captain
Solar's occupancy Of it. Captain So
lar alleges that he was put to much
expense and that Mr.. Shurts action
Inundated him and damaged him.
The continuance of the case was
brought about by tn erefusal of At
torney George c. Morgan to accept
an affidavit fled by Attorney Arthur
7. keefe, counsel for the defendant,
setting forth testimony of one Of the
witnesses for the defense.
The jury had been called into the
court room when Attorney Morgdn
informed Judge Heed that Attorney
Keefe ha dhauded him an affidavit q
few minutes before and because Of its
nature he would oppose its adHlis-
sion.
Attorney Keefe told the court that
Leo Aror1ig Of Norwich d witness for
the defendant, was in California and
the affidavit was a sworn statement
of facts to which Mr.. Kronig would
have testified had he appeared in per-
son.
Attorney Morgan asserted that the
affidavit struck at the vitals Of his
case and contained statements which
