C. Eugene Adams, first master of the Wethersfield Grange, then spoke on "Reminiscences of the Past'' in part as follows: "Tha real starting point of the Wethersfield Grange was in my barn on Broad street, twenty.flve years ago, when William Warner came In one day to talk about the hardships of the farmers end some method of lessening them. The talk soon drifted into Grange channels and we decided to ''get the farmers Interested In forming a Grange. We sent for J. H.

Hale of South Glastonbury, who was and In now a member of the executive committee of the State Grange, and had a conference with him along those linos. 'Things went along quickly and nicely until the night when State Master Dr. George Austin Bowen or-r ganized us as a grange. There was such a blizzard that only sixty-nine braved the storm to become charter members; although a much larger number wanted to join, and did join 1 In the first class that entered soon after. We elected the following persons as our chtirter officers: Master, C.

Eugene Adams; overseer, William H. lecturer. Dr. Edward G. Fox; steward.

Albert H. Galpin; assistant steward, EUsha R. Wolcott; chaplain, George W. Harris; secretary, Frank N. Griswold; treasurer, Charles C.

Harris; gatekeeper, Fred Hanmer; Ceres Mrs. Thomas Standish; Pomona, Mrs. William C. Griswold; Flora, Mrs. Thomas N.

Griswold; lady assistant steward, Miss Mary K. Willard. All of these officers are present hare tonight as you can see, with the exception of Fred Hanmer and Mrs. William (J. Griswold, who have died.

"Those first ten years were prosperous ones for us grangers. No person dared to run an entertainment in the town on 'Grange Then, members 'kicked' because the, meetings (swere not started soon enough and would not go home after they were over. The present High School build. ng was really started one night in the grange, when our lecturer, Dr. E.

G. Fox. had as the subject for the lecturer's hour, "How can we benefit our schools." Committees were formed and those same committees worked on the town committees in erecting the building. If the grange had onlv keot this policy In view, it would, think, have become a stronger factor today in the town. But a tendency towards sociality crept In, and now the Business Men's Association has taken that par-tlcular place in the town's affairs.

The Clay Hills of Hartford Invaded this town last night and played the Memorial Five in the Memorial Hall to a defeat, the final score being 41 to 39 In favor of the visitors. Garrity of the Hartford team was put out of the game for roughness but the decision did not dampen the enthusiasm of the visitors in the least and after tie content, they spoke well of the referee's services. In the preliminary game the Camp Fire girls defeated the Whirl-wind quintet, 10 to 8. Summaries: Clay Hills. Memorial Five.
