Captain Funckc’s candidates for the hockey team have been diligently pursuing the puck during the past few weeks of fine skating weather. The team has proved in its practice games that it will be a tough proposition for any of the members of the Interscholastic League. Manager Allen presents the following schedules:— Newton High. January 19. Cambridge High. January 23. Cambridge Latin. January 25. E. H. S., January 29. Melrose High. January 31. C. M. T. S.. February 2.

The Somerville line-up: Stevens, l.c.; Chandler (Goode), r.c.; Burton, r.c.: Funckc, l.c.; Hainan, c.p.; Cassidy, p.; Fischer, goal. Baseball Benefit. If you haven’t decided to go to the baseball benefit yet. vou would better do so at once, for it isn’t pleasant to be the only one to stay away; that is one reason for going. Another is that you do not want to miss so excellent an entertainment. As vou know, it is to be a vaudeville in ten num- bers. Combined with several stars of stage fame arc many of local talent and High School fame. It is one of the events of the year, and if you miss it, you will long regret it as an unimproved pleasure. Robert Bennett, of the Latin School, has charge of the general management, while Dr. Clock, who needs no introduction, is coach and stage manager. He is also to appear in one of the sketches; this alone should cause you to wish to be present to sec. hear, and be merry. THE STERLING SHOE, $2.50 FOR MEN AND HOYS. ALL THE LATEST STYLES.

Atxmt thirty men are at work under the experienced eve of Trainer Samson, who has had so much success for the past two years. Three members of last year’s relay team remain, and though the speed of “Billy” Jennings will be much missed, there is every prospect that Somerville will be represented by the fastest quartette among the Boston schools. The first race will probably be with our old rivals. C. M. T. S. The teams have
