This particular conteet was of es
pecial interest because had the Uncas
team again won the _up it would
have become their property, as they
have won for the past two years. The
fact that the cup had been donated
by a member of their tribe and that
it would be forever Iist to them
were not the Uncas team defeated,
had given the Mohawks ample incen
tive to do their level best and many
an hour had been passed in prepar
ing for this event. The decision of
the judges may be taken as much for
past faithfulness at drill as for ex
cellence at the competition, for had
not the gruelling work of practice
been undergone the result might have
been different. The Cliec Be team
came as a new Richmond in the
field. The retiring Gregs Sachem has
been rather modest in 1making claims
for his team, and the fact that they
snatched second place from the
Bruly boys came as a surprise to
many.
Believe me, the members of Mo
hawk Hayloft No. 33%x made some
hay at the meeting q the Great
Council. There being nothing be
fore the Great Council for Monday
night, that time was iset apart for
the initiatipn of a {. lass of
r Pas into the mys eipus arts p
d' r the direction,' Bosa I~ay.
-'erver Tanchara m. am ps d were
put through the stunt epared for
them by the Mohaw The fun
was fast and furious, at be it said
to the credit of the ovtiates, not
one of them dedlar hinself dis
pleased with the work, an there was
no occasion to refundi tie initiation
fee in any case.
