10 THE VERMONT PIICEOTX, BRATTLEBOKO, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1901. ir 1 BELLOWS FALLS. THE CUP FOR KEEPS. Bellows Falls High School Won Again In the C. V. I. A. A. Meet at Clare- mont the Jubilation. The twelfth nnnual field meet of tho Connecticut Valley InterscholaRflc Ath letic ABsoclntlon held nt Clnremont last Friday was by far the most exciting meet In tho history of the association. Tho lllRh school team from Bellows Falls had won tho cup tho last two years and, according to tho rules of tho asso ciation, If they won It this year It was to become theirs "for keeps." Tho result as given out by President Thompson Is as follows: Bellows Falls High school, 49 points, Stevens High school of Clnre mont 43, Windsor High school 23, and Rldards High school of Newport, N. H., 18. Tho day started off with the best of weather, but before night rain began to fall and tho last two or three events wero carried on during a steady down pour. About 250 peoplo went up from hero Including many business men as well ns tho young people. It was stated on tho grounds that there wore moro people there from Bellows than from all the other places put together. Cer tain It Is, our team has received good backing from the townspeople, which contributed largely to their success. It was seen early In the afternoon that the real contest lay between Bellows Falls and Claremont and so tho other teams lent their aid ns far as practicable to keep Bellows Falls from winning. Following Is the detailed statement: 100 yd .dash Won by Howard, B. F. H. S.; Northrup, B. F. H. S., second; Braley, It. H. S., third. Time, 10 4-5 sec. 12 pound shot Won by Barker, It. II.

Three records wero equalled: 120 yd. hurdles, 220 yd. dash, and the relay race. Tho highest individual scores were made as follows: Bellows Falls, Howard 15V4, Thompson ll'.i, Northrup 121; Clare lnonl', Furwell 10, Small 8; Windsor, Fowlo 20; Newport, Barker 1U?4. Howard, Thompson and Northrup, B. F. H. S., are deserving of particular praise be cause they worked against such neavy odds. Thompso.i was used up during the mile run and had to bo carried from the track. He was In very bad shapo and It was not expected that ho would be able even to enter another event, and yet when tho half mllo run came he entered It and entered to win. He was In the team race and gained greatly on his man In It. Howard did lino work as every ono knew ho would, and though we ex pected good work from Northrup, he sur passed our highest hopes, especially in the quarter mile run. In tho evening a concert was given In tho town hall, followed by the presenta tion of prizes and ad ance. The an nouncements wero delayed for half an hour by a kick from the other schools In a body on the 1U0 yd. dash, claiming tnat Howard got an unfair start. The referee held to his decision made on the field and the others had to back down. Many remarks were heard, even from Claremont people, that the Bellows Falls boys held on to themselves during the trouble In the hall with unusual selt control, the hisses of tho others being answered by a yell for the Claremont team from our corner. Much credit Is due to Thompson, president of the asso ciation for his self control and tact. Tho High school bell was rung here Friday evening announcing the victory to the townspeople. Tho team returned Saturday atternoon and was met at the station by a crowd of several hundred. A reception was tendered the boys Sat urday evening in Union hall by the girls of tho school. After speeches by How ard, Thompson and the trainer, E. G. Baldwin, dancing was enjoyed until twelve. Monday evening, the young boys of tho town thought they would celebrate, which they aid after tneir own fashion with horns, revolvers, red ilrcs, and wound up with a procession going all over town and making llfo weary for all peaceably inclined. A score differing from this has boon published wiuely, but the number of points given abovo Is what the olllcers of tho association have given out. Tho difference lies in the relay race, some people claiming that Claremont got sec ond Instead of Newport. The prizes wero given to Newport, however, and If Ciure mont raised no kick at the time in the hall it must be correct. A very nice letter has been received from G. W. cox, former superintendent oi the local schools, congratulating tho boys on their success and saying how much ho was disappointed not to bo able to be there himself. Everyone will re member what an interest ho took In the meets of the last two years when ho wus In town. Thoso connected with tho schools can ao so much to aid the boyB and to keep some hold on them by at tending such affairs and mixing right In with tho boys. Plans for Memorial Day.
