Here, so close to town, we have to get our light in a more modern way.
Now, I reckon I'm ready for any sort of a scrimmage that comes along." A shout presently announced that the boys from Keyport had arrived in a big car of the "rubber-neck" variety, with five seats across; and used for sight-seeing purposes, or any excursion where a dozen or twenty wished to go in a crowd. A little later the fellows came on the ice in a body, with their distinguishing jerseys.
They appeared to be an exceedingly lively bunch, and were soon spinning about, displaying a nimbleness that excited apprehensions in many a loyal Scranton heart. As boys need little introduction, the opposing players quickly intermingled, and seemed on the best of terms.
Captain Mossman and Hugh paired off, to talk over matters connected with the game.
They were soon joined by Mr.Leonard, and several gentlemen, some from Keyport, others hailing from Allandale and Belleville. It was soon decided that the officials should be chosen as far as possible from neutral territory.
