A One of the best cards in the history of the Windham Athletic club” was presented in the club's rooms on N. D. Webster, Treas. Thursday evening, when ~two good wrestling matches were witnessed by 200 membvers and friends. The pre- liminary was between Peter Lewis and Wiiliam Barber of this city, to be the best’ two out of three in 30 minutes. Bill“Collins of Central Village was referee and L. M. Dondero of New London timer. Lewis obtained the only fall in 19 minutes on a farther arm and neck lock. For the remaining time neither obtained any decided ad- wvantage. % Main Match Was a Thriller. The main match was between Tall Feather of Manitoba, Canada, 170 pounds, and Bill Collins. It was a clean exhibition, full of action. Col- dins took the first fall on & farther arm and neck lock in 10 1-2 minutes. Collins never before was seen in this <ity in a match where he was obliged to ‘crawl out of so many ticht pinches. The second fall went to Tall Feather on a half-nelson and kink in 5 1-2 minutes. In the last go Collins was Zame to the core, but because of lack ©of condition, due to his hard match with Rogers at Westerly Wednesday evening, the Indian finally wore him down and pinned him to the mat in 17 minutes on a half-nelson and haimn- merlock. Abe Robarge was refere, and T. F, Connelly and L. M. Dondero werc timers, ¥ Indian Showed Up Well. It is considered that the Indian is one of the best that have appeared in this city at the wrestling game, and people aré inclined to think that Jack McGrath, the Irish Giant, of Norwich might possibly be able to make a cred- jtable showing against him in a fiu- ish match. It was announced that Young Allen of Norwich and Frank McLean of the Windham Athletic «club could not be matched for a mitt contest and a challenge was issued that McLean would meet Allen at any place, at any time, for any amount. It was also announced that the Dan Murphy-Bill Colling-match for $100 a side bet, was an event to be carded soon; possibly under the local club. Personals. G. L.

Slowly and on the part of many with the ‘full knowledge that they should have returned to New Haven with the nagement rather than stay in New k for a celebration of their success- ful trip, the members of the Yale Dra- association, who startled the country with their _presentation of “London Assurance,” drifted into town toda: ys the New Haven Register. The tour started Dec. 23 in Meriden, where the play was presented to a crowded house. After that there were two days off for Christmas and at midnight the 25th the company met and started for Washington, wrapped in dreamless sleep. About time for fhe arrival into Washington the carefully set alarm clocks went off and lo and behold the train was in a_drift a short way from Wilmington. Such a joke! Members of the company ~who ~had properly celebrated Christmas thought they would not have to get up. This satisfied everyone for a while, but then the hu sykstutnde the husky students commenced to get hungry. Still the train remained in the drift. A foraging party led by Billy Manice and Harvey = Warren started over the countryside, struggled through drifts and finally arrived at a hospita- ble farmhouse. ~An attempt was made to purchase the entire winter provi- sions, but it proved fruitless. The jfarmer’s wife, however, when she heard of the plight of the collegians, baked panful after panful of biscuit and gave the relief party other provi- sions to take to the train. Then the relief party shoveled out of the snow a small country store whose former lo- cation the farmer's wife had described to them and took all thev could carry to_the car. Meanwhile the other passengers had become fretful end the members of the company decid-d to give an entertain- ment. L. Lawrence Riggs, true to his society proclivities, entertained as Ethel Barrymore in her soclety plays. After his return from the relief ex— pedition Harvey Waren presented va- rious phases of President Hadley. Finally the train crew despaired of continuing on_ to_ Washington and pushed back to Wilmington, where everyone was soon asleep again. At 3 a. m. the students were rooted out of their comfortable hotel and were off to ‘Washington. Far too many to even mention are the adventures which followed the ex- pedition. Washington and _Baltimore passed with large and enthusiastic houses, followed by Orenge, where the “standing room only” sign was put out, Then came Bridgeport. Waterbury and Hartford, with appreciative crowds, ending with a blaze of glory at the Waldorf Monday night. Truth About General Casement. Casement was an empire builder of a very essential sort.
