from Delaware Bay. in an attempt to
give aid on Feb, 21, to the American
schooner Willie L Newton. aborrt 200
miles southeast by south of Sandy
Hook. The Willie L. Newton was turn
her laden from Brunswick. 6a., for
New York. and lost her rudder head.
The York Castle stood by the schoou~
or from 2 o'clock until 8 o'clock lit the
morning, during which time the
schooner displayed signals. Her
boats were intact, but they failed to
launch one to aid themselves. Fi-
nally the York Castle tried to launch
a lifeboat itt charge of Chief Officer
Alexander Turner with four men.
The falls became jammed and as the
ship was rolling violently. the. five
men were thrown Into the was. At

vessel. At 4 o‘clock in the afternoon
of Feb. 21 the first ofiicer of the Mic-
mac and five seamen launched a life
boat and after considarble dlfilculty
succeeded in transferring all hands
from the wreck. Capt, Norwood of
the Newtown said the vessel had heavy
southwest gales with a huge cross sea
which tossed the schooner so violent-
ly that the rudder head was twisted
off. The schooner fell off in the trough
of the sea, the waves breaking over

The Company F basketball team
clashed with the Xaviers. of New York.
last night at the Norwalk Armory, and
were trimmed, the final score being in
favor of the visitors twenty four to
two The contest was a fast and ex-
citing one throughout and was a con-
siderably better game than the score
indicated.
The Xavier‘s are a very fast team
and undoubtedly would stand an excel-
lrtti show to win against any team they
played. This was their second ap-
peuraucc in Norwalk this season
The F boys played a good game and
did some brilliant work bIIt the. an
perb passing and goal throwing of the
Ni w Yorkers was too much for them.
It is also believed that the home team
has played a better game considerably
than it did last night. Being a boil-
(iuy night. Washington's Birthday.
there was a good sized crowd on hand
to witness the games, and the visitors
were. given ntuch applause when bril-
liant plays were made.
The Xaviers. as usual, did not ‘show
up very well in their preliminary prac-
tice. bttt when the referee's whistle
started the game off everything was
different. Siuggish moVements were
supplanted by a whirlwind exhibition
of passing aItd shooting for goals. F

as follows:

It is a fitting occasion that we should

man who was a lover of liberty and a
grand. good man. There is another
purpose itt our being here, however and
that is that we may all become better
acquainted and better citizens to seek
and preserve, perpetuate and spread
Ural grand teaching which has given
to all the nations of the world such an
increased measure of civilization and
happiness.

The books which have been ordered

Ladies and gentlemen allow me to
introduce to you, the speaker of the
evening. Doctor Luigi ltoversi of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art of New
York city. one of the most disting-
uished and learned gentlemen of our
nationality in this country.
Dr, Roverai was greeted with loud
applause when he went forward and
began his addresa, which was profuse-
ly illustrated with stereoptlcon views.
Dr. Roversi narrated the events which
led up to the war against Great Brit-
ain. He described the growing patri-
otism of the Americans and the feel-
ings which led to the declaration of
independence. He also told a number
of highly interesting incidents regard
in; the war. all of which were supple-
mented by the handsome colored views
cast upon the screen by the stereopti
con. He told of a number of the men
who were Instrumental in taking the
steps which dissolved the ties which
bound America to Great Britain and
led up in that wa} to George Wash-
ington. When the picture of “The F8-
ther of His Country", was thrown on
the screen. it was loudly applauded by
the audience. He then went on telling
of the character of Washington, his
aim; and ideals for the country and
showed views of a number of places
which were rendered historic by him.
Battlegrounds. his various headquart-
ers during the war were described. Af-
ter the war. his retirement into civil
life. was described and the quiet sim-
plicity of his life shown.
Other patriots were also described
in brief.
Dr. Roveral also brought out strong-
ly the fact that the lecture was provid
ed in a spirit of neighborliness to the
Italian residents of the city and that
it should be the desire of each Italian
citizen to educate and improve him-
self with the life here and take an in
terest in the government and the lastl-
tlrtions of the countr)‘.
Dr. Roversi is excellent lecturer,
his wide range fknowledge eminent-
ly fitting him for it. His voice is very
