There are a number of golf enthusiasts in the club who improve every opportu- nity to lower their record, so that it is expected that the tournament will de- velop not a little good natured rivalry. The course Is a good one, the club has its own club house for the benefit of its members, and the electric cars make the ground very accessible to the players, as the cars go within a very short distance of the club house. The following are the officers of the club: President, A. Burt. Palmer; vice president, E. H. Rathbun; secretary and treasurer.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SENTINEL :- As a townsman-altbongh not a con- stant resident-of Franklin, I have been s good deal impressed by a paragraph in Tuesday's Issue, of which the purport is that the electric cars, la rounding a cer- tain corner, overhang the sidewalk, and that it therefore behooves people to he. ware lest they suffer injury to their per- sons or apparel. It strikes me, Sir, that the warning should go just the other way-that the company should keep its cars off the sidewalk, or be punished for not doing so. An electric car has no more right to occupy one inch of the sidewalk than an ice cart, a circus wagon or a load of hay, and no location of tracks, however granted, can convey that right, unless the exact portion of ground to be so occupied be distinctly and formally discontinued by dne pro- cess of law as a part of the sidewalk which has been bitherto duly established and occupied as such.

As I understand the law of the case, if any person should have lus foot pinched or his clothing torn by a car trespassing upon the sidewalk where he has a citi_ zen's right to be, he would bave the ha- bis for an action of damages against the town wbich permitted the encroach- ment. L'uder well ordered and cautions jurladiction no curve would be allowed to he laid and used, the sweep of which could involve such peril as your para- graph implies. The Inconvenience aud cost to the company in correcting snch a result of reckless or incompetent engi- neering are as nothing compared to the rights of the community and of its indi -

vidual members; and the longer a tres- pass is allowed to continue the more se- High School Graduation.
