Lafayette Style of Play Did Not Work in Rensselaer.

The weekly checker tournament resulted In the following scores: Stevens 4%; Hill 4%; McFarland 3; Thomas 0. Thomas has been visiting at Montmorenci and stopped off at Lafayette on his way home to have a few games of checkers with the boys there. It is said that he undertook to work off some Lafayette styles of play on the locals and the scheme was not successful and he neither won a game nor got a draw. Larsh is usually mighty hard to beat and there was considerable enjoyment \pt his expense when she showed up with a goose egg at the end of the contest. He is promising to get back at them the next time, however.
