LAYING NEW WATER MAIN

Excavations were commenced on
Grand View Wednesday morning for
the laying of approximately 1000
feet of 6-inch water main. This is a
new line, not a replacement, and will
give more adequate water service for
the residences and other buildings IN
that high-lying section of the city.
At the present time that section is
served by 4-ineh main, which Will
be continued as a sort of auxiliary to
the new line. The new line starts on
Wilkinson street, near the Leverett
Weeks, and runs thence to Grand
View. 1t is a part of the city water
system and included in the improve
ment being made will be the placing
of an additional hydrant, which is
really needed A new fire alarm box

larity and charm of the game is evil
dent by the thousands of our ablest
business men who are taking it up.
A feature of the afternoon was the
presence of the Scotch professional,
Cunningham, now playing with Out
met, Tom Mcnamara and other top
notch professionals at the Brae-Burn
club near Boston. While he did not
enter the match he made the rounds,
bringing in a score of 80 and 40, a
total of 10 for Is holes. Ernest G..
Morse, holder of the low record for
Putnam. has made the 8 holes in 40
several times, and his record for Is
holes is a 40 and AZ. total of 80.
which. as is evident, is fine record
for an amateur. 1t was "a pleasure to
watch Cunningham and it seemed
lust as easy" to get long perfect
drive, midiron shot, approach and put,
dropping the ball apparently ABOUT as
desired.
The score was as follows, the first

More than a quarter of a century ago Mrs. Davenport was first in troduced in the United.
