REVIVAL OF SPORT IN LONDON
(By Associated Press.)

London, July 18.-With the advent
of the summer season and the ban
ishing of the cares of war, London 10
witnessing revival of sport and on
a scale never before known. Partici-
pants, both young and old, seem to
enter into games with more zeal and
earnestness than ever.
The parks have their cricket pitch
es and their bowling greens, tho
commons their openair swimming
baths, dancing arenas and occasion
ally their baseball diamond, while the
private residences have their tennis
and croquet lawns. Each afternoon
and evening, when the weather is
favorable, these rendezvous, with the
addition of the golf links are filled
with young and old.
Hardly week passes without a
sporting event on one of the large
tracks near the metropolis. The
attendance and the entries passes all
pre-war records.
Perhaps the most popular Of games
this summer is tennis.

change for getting drinks-because ]
know that is what they use it for"
But they look SO hungry" he
would protest, to which she would
say nothing.
Going out one afternoon, Mr.. Jones
was accosted by a man who whined
out some words to the effect that he
wanted copper" to get sand

HERMON GLEE CLUB
WARMLY RECEIVED
Gives Excellent Program in Methodist
Church and Responds to Many
Encores-Novelty Numbers.

An audience which filled the Metho-
dist church last evening received with
enthusiasm the 20 young men making
up the Mount Hermon glee club, and
hearty applause, resulting in many en-
core numbers, followed practically
every selection.
The novelty numbers of the program
were the selections which were whistled
by j. W. McDavit. who was able to give
wide variations to his tones by clever
movements of his fingers and hands, as
he whistled through them. Arthur
Packard, who gave several readings,
was well received, and was called upon
for encore selections. The violin selec-
tions by Emil j. Calvaeca were espe-
cially pleasing, showing a sympathetic
understanding of the pieces and love
or the instrument. The pianist, G. Whit
tier Fuller, and the leader, Irving j
Lawrence, also appeared in solo mum
| bers and were given the hearty appre
citation of the audience
Following are the numbers appearing
on the program. which was augmented

Decided to Engage Counsel
in Action of ThOmp-
son Trustees
COMMITTEE LIKELY
TO BE APPOINTED
Unanimity of Action Urged by Speak
ers at Meeting of Society-Action
Pending in Supreme Judicial Court
of Massachusetts,.

The Brattleboro Society of Seam
stresses, Needlewomen and Shop Girls
at meeting in the rest room last eve
ming decided to have their interests
in the recent action brought by the
Thompson fund trustees looked after by
the associations executive committee,
which gave Frank E. Barber and o.
B. Hughes authority to represent them.
This action was taken following Il
general discussion at which, the speak
ers were Messrs. Barber and Hughes,
who had been retained by the seam
stresses to investigate and report on
their interests, II. G. Rice for the com
mittee recently appointed by. the board
of trade, and S. A. Richmond represent
ing the town.
| All of these speakers urged unanimi-
tty of action on the part of all the
Brattleboro interests affected by the
Thompson fund. and in the light of this
sentiment it is probable that one of
| the first acts of the executive commit
| tee of seamstresses viii be to name a
general committee which il is felt that
all other local interests can endorse,
and to give this committee full au-
thority to act against the trustees in
the legal action now pending in the
supreme judicial court of Massachu-
sets
