NEW ENGLAND WINTER SPORTS.

The interest in winter sports IL New

Dealers in snOwshOcs, tObOggans. skates,

for these winter things. Some dealers
declare it is only a fad. But it is a uni
vCrsal one just now among the hotels
throughout the White Mountain section
Of New Hampshire. in Vermont and
available piaccs in Maine, and. of course
IN Canada, where it is universal.
Throngs of people will try out these de-
vices. For there is splendid exhilaration
when YOU can manage them neatly !:
there is a fine exhilaration for the on
lockers when you cannot. The snowshOe
pitch is often a delight. TObogganing
is considered the crudest form of exer-

SEARCHLlGHT USED IN
 CAPTURE OF PRISONERS

HONOLULU, T. H., April IT. - searchlights played an important part in the pursuit of two military pris- oners who escaped recently from the guardhouse at Fort Ruger, on the outskirts of Honolulu, and were finally responsible for their capture.
 The two prisoners fled up the slopes of Diamond Head, an extinct crater-deadland, behind which Fort Ruger is situated.
 A posse was quickly organized, and as it started the entire northern and western slopes of the crater were flooded with intense white light from the powerful searchlights at the fort.

TERMS IRELAND "BRAINPAN OF
 THE WORLD'

WASHINGTON, April IT. - Ireland was described as the "brainstorm of the world" in an impassioned tribute to the Emerald Isle by Senator Stan ley, Democrat, of Kentucky, during a recent debate on the floor of the Senate.
 Stanley eloquently pleaded the cause of the Irish Free State, saying it has risen through centuries of op- pression to command the admiration of the world.
 q have not drop of Irish blood in my veins," Stanley said. q wish l had. I can trace my ancestry back to an unbroken English line and I'm not specially proud of it. But know that when the history of all the people of all the world shall have been written there will be nothing in song or story sweeter or sadder or grander than the sufferings and the triumph of the Irish people and the Irish nation. "RIsEs LIKE TRANSPORTATION"
 "Out of centuries of persecution such as no other race ever suffered up from fields incarnadined in blood of heroes and stakes and gibbets sanctified by the sacrificial deaths of martyrs, in her rags and her poverty her learning and heroism, wild and grand and beautiful, Ireland rises like a transfiguration to command the ad miration of the world, for at last thank God, Old Ireland is free"
 Stanley suggested that if the pleas of pro-British were followed, that the statue of Andrew Jackson in front of the White House be torn down and a new one erected to Lloyd George or George Harvey.
 "Why should not Ireland feel an antipathy to Great Britain?" Stanley demanded. "No senator has the right to treat contemptuously the just re sentiment against wrongs so deep anc damnable that their reiteration might make the very angels in heaven weep "ABAoRRENCE OF ENGLIsHMEN" Were I an Irishman, as l am al American or English ancestry, l would swear my first-born son, as Hasdruba did Hannibal to eternal hate O Rome, to the abhorrence of all tha ] Englishmen say or do or think a' long as he remembers the Wome1 they had outraged, the babes they hat butchered, the sons sent to stake ant the gibbet, her faith dishonored ant her fields drenched with blood ant desolated by fire and sword"
 Stanley praised the deeds of 1risi citizens who came to America to make their homes free of British oppression
 sTrishmen have filled every pos with honor and have adorned every thing they have tuoched," he con clded. q pay my humble need O praise to the braifpan of the world to the home of poetry, of eloquenct and of yalor-to the Emerald Isle"

LADIES EXPLAIN ABOUT
 BASKETBALL SITUATION
By FLORENCE NAFSTED, Captain, Ladies' Town Team.

SdPtai'iy IaoiCS OWn cdFl.
 Last Thursday evening A. J. McCon- nell, the manager of the School Girls Basketball Team, called a meeting of the Athletic Club, chairman of the Ath- letic Club house committee, and the team captains, school and town, to discuss the championship series of basketball games between the town and school teams. The Ladies' Town Team feels that the public should know the facts of the case. The game played last Monday evening was ad- vertised as the first game of the series and was won by the Town Team by score of F to 10.
 The right forward on the Town Team was ill, so the ladies were com pelled to put another in her place. AS our subs always play the guard posi- tion, we had to find a forward player. This new player tried to get her Ath- letic Club membership card prior to the game, but was unable to do so, as the secretary of the Athletic Club did not happen to have cards with him at the time. He assured her, how ever, that it would be all right for her to play that evening, as her intentions were good.
 MT. Mcconnell wishes the teams to start anew, beginning next Tuesday evening, for, as he says, the fact re- mains that the player in question DID NOT have membership card.
 When the Athletics and Arrows played their series, member of the Athletic team did not have a club membership, and he had no intention of obtaining one, as he planned on leaving Cordova shortly, but was given permission to play As far as the writer is able to ascertain, no rul- ing has ever been made by the club, either orally or in writing, to the ef- feet that all players on basketball teams be members. No member Of the Ladies' Town team has ever wished to take advantage of this, however, as all are club members now.
 The Town Team members have dis cussed MT. McConnel's suggestion of beginning the series anew from every angle, and as the School Team took their defeat in such unsportsmanlike manner, the Town players all feel they cannot, in the circumstances, play any further games with the School Team.
 We are not avaricious. The trophy nromised the winners did not 1nflu- ence us any in our last contest. we play for the sport of the game and for the benefit of the Athletic Club; there fore, we feel the above stated case does not warrant our beginning the series anew.
 The Ladies would go on with the series, if this game were regarded as the first, going right on with the sec ond game.
 The ladies of the Town Team pear no malice toward anyone and are sorrv this regrettable incident oc- cured, but we feel that the public al ways generously responding to the A+b,etic Clubs activities, should know why this series of basketball games cannot go on.
 We thank you!

Observapt travellers who have
crossed Westminster bridge lately
have been astonIshed and intrigued
by the sight Of statue representing
q bowman on the corner Of the new
London county hall. A casual in
spection Of the figure reveals the fact
that the bow has no string, the
archer Is left-handed. that he has
Just drawn the bow with his fore
finger only, and also that he is kneel-
ing to shoot. One Of the architects Of
the building said that sculpture Is not
rational science; that the sculp-
tors Inspiration had led him to mold
an archer In. the position just de-
scribed. and that 1t was vain to seek
for reasons for such things. The
architect advanced the theory that the
sculptor was striving for more beau

man in a position In which hitting his
target would be nigh impossible.
