About three months ago a contest was ar ranged whereby the side bringing in the largest number of rew pupils during the allotted three months time should be entertained by the ones bringing In the smallest num ber. The boys won out by a major Ity of two, they securing twenty-five new pupils, the girls being a close second with twenty-three to their credit. At the reception on Tues day afternoon the girls furnished the refreshments of sandwiches, pickles, cake and lemonade, while the boys furnished the program, and the af ternoon proved to be one of the most thoroughly enjoyable affairs one would wish to attends There was a peanut hunt in which the boys hid the peanuts for the girls to find, and many amusing games, the one causing the most amusement perhaps, being the attempt of varf ous ones to pin the tall onto a don key which was drawn and hung on the wall, each little lady and genlte man to be blindfolded while per forming the feat. The boys made speeches and all told stories, and Miss Winifred Flanagan rendered some splendid selections on the piano. The reception was delight ful in every particular and the little ones, with their teachers and sup erintendent, Mrs. Hood, will long re member the event with pleasure.
