Mrs. Lyon a rare old rose point handker-
chief and pieces of laces made in various
countries.
The display of modern fancy work was
of very high order, and deserves ipdi-
vidusl mention II space were possible.
Mrs. Kate Hammond certainly shows
great taste in the management Of her
table.
The men and boys, who visited the
Paris fair, seemed greatly interested In
the exhibit OF guns. With good-looking
exhibitors 1t 1t is believed that the
women and girls would have been equally
attracted.
The chief feature was q collection of
representative weapons as tokens from
each war in which the United States has
taken part. The Revolution was repre-.
sented by the Paris musket, which has
been fired every Fourth of July since the
Declaration was signed; the War of 1912
BY q pair of flint.lock cavalry pistols
loaned by Hon. Edward L. Paris, which
was carried by Colonel Cornwall OF q
New York regiment; the Mexican War
by medal loaned by Admiral Lyon, on
the reverse of which were scenes depict
ing the principal battles of the war; the
Civil War by musket and bayonet losned
by Charles Rogers, which was carried
by a member of Michigan regiment.
There was also Confederate gun loaned
by Admiral Lyon, which was captured
BY the Union soldiers at Mobile Bay.
Admiral Lyon also contributed twenty
five calibre naval rifle which was found
in boat on the coast of Cuba by bis pa
troll during the Spanish War. The rep.
resentativs weapon of the last war was q
thirty calibre Springfield rife, exhibited
by Edward Paris, Jr., together With
small arm ammunition from various allied
armies. Miss Agnes Brown loaned an
American and German "tin-hat."
Miss Harriette Winslow contributed q
thirty calibre carbine owned by the late
Dan Winslow, when member Of Troop
A, New York City, and also an old cap.
and-ball revolver, Allen patent. Arnold
"pepper-pot" revolver, dated 1887, was
exhibited by Charles Henry Hammond.
The exhibition also contained two per-
cussion.cap rifles, inlaid with silver,
made in the early 4O's by Dastine Spauld-
ing of Buckfield; unique double-barrel
percussion. cap rifle; an old English shot
gun cane; an old sporting musket made
by Admiral Lyons grandfather; several
naval officers swords of different periods;
some Chinese swords; three inch naval
cartridge case; naval spy-glass Of 1900;
powder horns, bullet moulds and ammu-
milton of various dates.
Fond memories were aroused BY an
told black bottle" (empty) which was
recently recovered by naval divers In
Narragansett Bay, while exploring the
wreck of Q British supply vessel sunk In
179S to avoid capture by the French.
The historical exhibit was in charge Of
Mrs. Mira Crocker Snow, whose valuable
exhibit at the recent Country Club fair
attracted much attention and favorable
comment. Upon this occasion Mrs. Snow
exhibited none OF the things shown at
that time but instead, made very inter-
estipg display of ancient school text
books many of which are now quite val
liable on account of the few specimens
in existence.
A good time was had by all.
We thank you!

 The entertainment at the town hall on Thursday evening by Professor H. | o.

Prof. Harren was in clever mood and did the many things of his performance in gentlemanly and clever manner. Taking the entertainment as a whole 1 it was pleasing and enjoyable throughout. The large attendance was noted by the performer, which taxed the seating capacity of the hall.

Nothing has been found, so far, in this line, but everybody is going to keep his eyes open for something good-but some thing cheap.
 Two new names, leftover business from last meeting, were brought be- fore the troup and accepted. The tenderfoot tests are to be given next week by the scoutmaster to those can didates who are prepared to pass them.
 Saturday afternoon the troop will take its first big hike under it's new leaders. The program is to meet at McGarry's corner at 200 p. m., hike three miles or so and cook a feed.

The invitation was unanimously accepted at the meeting Tuesday, and means of con- veyance is now the problem. About three more automobiles than have now been offered, will be necessary. Any one with an unoccupied fiivver, and if he be so disposed, it would be a great help to have him take load over to Pomfret Sunday evening, the 24th. Please communicate with MT.

W|CKENBURG RODEO DRAWS B|G CROWD;
 PROVES \ SUCCESS

WICKENBURG, March IA. = The cowboy roundup or rodeo. held here Maroh and 6. was a complete success in every way. Judging from the size of the crowd which invaded the town Saturday morning, this was greatly anticipated event, and not one of the visitors was disappointed in the sports which commenced about 2 o'clock Sat urday afternoon.
 The corral was built at a distance northwest of the ball grounds and the spectators parked their cars on the north line of the grounds. thus pre- venting the animals from tramplfng the diamond The first event sched- uled was a calf tying contest in which Ora Hahn won first money with time of 37 seconds Romaine Loudermilk was second in this contest with a time of 46 seconds. There were not many contestants for the bull- jogging Saturday afternoon but Lone Overton carried off the houors in this event by throwing his steer in 37 seconds. Bull riding followed with three men ready to ride.
 Harold Hunsaker came out first rid ing a particularly active bull, staying with him for about three jumps, when he prudently got off. Cheyenne Riser and Pete Davis also rode frisky bulls but stayed with them longer. After this Cheyenne demonstrated his abil- ity to ride saddled bull. The animal buclxed furiously for few minutes but Cheyenne was unmoved. Considerable excitement ran through the crowd when the bareback broncho riding was announced as this is a sport which appeals to everyone because of the skill required and the certain amount of danger involved. Harold Hunsaker again appeared and gave spectacular exhibition on bad acting grey horse. He was awarded first money in this event. Cheyenne Riser and Romaine Loudermilk also rode put neither of their horses pitched much. Richie Lewis was the last rider but he was dismounted quickly.
 Sunday the events started with a double calf tying contest in which Cheyenne Riser and Ora Hahn made the best time. roping and tying their calf in 23 seconds. Lone Overton bull dogged another steer and broke his record of the previous day by bringing this one down in 21 seconds

Mrs. Woodmansee won tnlS race which gave her second place ana Miss Mary Cameron was third.
 The Dance
 The cowboy dance, held Saturday night, was all that mad been antlcl- pated and more. The dance com menced on time with an excellent Jazz orchestra and cowboys enough to go around. The only thing found to com plain about was that there were not enough ladies but that matter was soon satisfactorily adjusted by having tag dances. Late in the evening floor was crowded with dancing couples until they were, one by one, taken from the floor, leaving the few couples who had compiled with the rules for the prize waltz. The judges, who were MT. Barnerte Cheyenne Riser and MT. Marshall, judged each couple separately ana imparttally, finally awarding the prize to Miss Edna Chilson and W. T. Maokin. The prize was a beautifully decorated cake baked at the Blue Ribbon bakery. Miss Chilson and MT. Mackin cut the cake and graciously invited everyone to share it with them. The crowd stayed and danced hour after hour and it was not until o'clock that they all began to realize that there was day full of events before them and that they all needed some rest.
