Five four-rounders will open the show. The feature in this list is the meeting between “Chet” Thomas of Boston and Jack Kelly of Watgrbury former state amateur light lLeavy champion.

The paint was being used last July to paint the roof of the gauge house at the dam by em- ployes of United States Geological survey. The cow was grazing in a fleld nearby. Several times “Bossy” attempted to steal a drink of paint but each time her attempt was frustrated. Finally, when the painters were working on the other side of the building, she grasped her opportun- ity and helped herself to half the contents of the paint bucket. That was the end of “Bossy.” Cerr! thinks the government men were negligent in permitting the paint to remain within the cow's reach.
