 Carley showed t0 better advantage than when he WAS here before, and was more of an aggreasor. although Tnurain did more leading than the Worcester amateur. Both boys are clean fighters and neither has an alihi when the decision goes against him. Another match will have to be staged to decide the superiority. as both have won a decision on points,
 Billing Game
 Billings of Goodyear met his mas ter in Young Gravelin of Moosup m the first bout. but the Goodyear lad showed such gameness that he retired from the ring amid the united ap- Blause of the fans. The Goodyear box CT did not show his usual form and left every kind of an opening. and the Moosup boy lost no time in taking ad- vantage of it.
 The first round had hardly started when Billings was knocked to the can vas. He took the count of nine and came up and bore in only to be imne- diately hoored again. His eyes were getting glassy and he again staggered to his feet groggy and helpless. The referee used excellent judgment in stopping the bout and awarding Gravelin a technical knockout.
 Grenier of Grosvenordale put Jones of Quinebaug away in ten seconds. The hoy from up the river sent over n singing left to the head. Jones got in a light uppercut as they clinched. Just what happened immediately after this is somewhat of a mystery, but Jones went down in a neutral corner and failed to rise until a doctor stepped into the ring. He then got up and seemed to have recovered his senses to the fullest.
 Petrone Earns Decision
 The bout between Petrone of Wor- cester and Skuiiy Of Danielson went the limit. but the Worcester boy was master of the situation and easily earned the decision.

That the Trade school pleased the man for whom they planned and built the house is per haps the most emphatic compliment that the school could be given. tt must be gratifying to the superinten- dent of the school. to the instructors. and to the students themselves. It must also be most pleasing to the State Board of Education as the State Trade school is under the super vision and control of the State Board.

Thousands of people have been af- forded the opportunity to visit the Putnam State Trade school and watch it's operation. To see the interested students at work To see the cloth coming from the loom. To see ,he machine shop and the electrical de nartment mysteriously funetioning. To see the embryo carpenters at the wood working machines and to see students bent over blue print plans. These visits, and many people make them yearly when the school is thrown open and invitation is extended to all are enlightening to a certain extent. They evidence the fine work the school Is doing and the interest shown by the pupils but to most of the visi- tors the result sought in the work un- folding before their eyes has little or no meaning and can not be yisaalized unless one be a carpenter. maehinist, electrician or min operative.
