Yesterday afternoon members Of the
water and fire departments were en-
gagged in flooding a lot at the rear OF
the Summer street schoolhouse. This
small plot has never before been used
for skating purposes, but since the city
councimen wish TO have Kinks in va
rious parts of the city, enabling all
young people to skate, this spot was
considered favorable Tomorrow The
Times will print the location of all
places offering good skating.
The powerful Jack Frost succeeded in
throttling nearly every stoneshed whis-
tie of this district to-day, and at 1880
only three or four could be heard sum
moning the employees. These came
from such sheds az Barclay Brothers
and Johnson & Gustafson of the south
end, the Harrison Granite Co. OF Burn
hams meadow. and the Jones Brothers
company Of the north end. Aside from
these. few plants continued operations
because of the severity of the weather,
registered ON most thermometers as 80
below zero.
For basketball enthusiasts there will
be two big games tonight, one at God
dard gymnasium. Goddard and Colby
academy, and the other at the Spauld-
ing gymnasium, Spaulding high VS..
Montpelier high, These games are sim
gularly important to both schools, both
being the big home game Of the season,
Colby academy has formerly sent to
Barre a fast and oftentimes winning
team. The one expected today will
undoubtedly be of the standard type
heretofore representing the school, a
= ssraxf
team. The other big game at Spauld
ing is always the hardest fought game
Of the year. In view the fact that the
Montpelier Legion team, which defeat
ed the Peerless. Five, 34ls, Tuesday
night, defeated the high school team Of
Montpelier by just four points it seems
warranted to say that Spaulding high
will have an unusual opponent tonight.
The third bowling match between the
Ozarks and Tosi's academy, held last
evening at the Merlo alleys, ended in a
victory for the latter team by the mar
row margin of II points The victors
were overioyed when the final tally
was taken, for their opponents had a
lead of 81 points at the completion of
the first string. Their strong come
back gained the lead just before the
last string was completed. To the
spectators that crowded the alleys the
match was one of the most interesting
held in Barre this season. Charles Cat
TO Of the 0zarks was unquestionably
the best bowler of the two teams, scor-
ing on the last string pinfall Of 1913
and 325 for the three strings The sum
mary totals were: Tosi's Lass, 0zarks
] .443. r. Gabelloni refereed and j.
Casssni was seorekeeper. The Tosi
team, which has been defeated but once
this season and that by the Ozark
team, challenges any bowling team in
the state.
