It was confi- dently expectad by their many admir- rers that they would capture at least one prize The corps entered in three contests, the odern playing, appearance and marching. The corps has been practicing regularly every Monday evening in the hopes that they would be designated the best playing and best marching corps. Thelr parade uniforms are attractive being blue in color with black trim- ming¥ and with letter embossed in gold The corps has won a large number of cups and prizes In past competitive drills. There are about twenty active members of the eorps. Tony Buckley is president of the as- sociation and Clarence Walker is the leader. Mr. Walker Las been Amer- lcan champion baton swinger a num- ber of times and he entered the in. dividual contests to determine the beat in that fleld of endeavor today.

When the daughter's husband died some time ago she requested that the mother live with her while the brothers sought to have the mother live with them, but she would not do so. Now theq brothers are contesting the sis- ter's right to get support from ‘the brothers for the mother, inasmuch as the mother does all the sister’s house- work and takes care of the sister's children while the sister works in the New Britain factories. It is ex- pected that the brothers will employ counsel and contest the syit at the September term of the superior eourt. Poor Year for Peaches.
