Bristol Faces 800 Incoming Workers From National India Rubber
The town considers the impact of 800 new hires for the National India Rubber Company.

Meanwhile, a London street fight between the Marquis of Queensbury and his son sparks renewed bravado and a £10,000 challenge. The report covers Yale Harvard football expectations, farming hardships, and Rhode Island legislative actions on water works bonds, uniforms, and the state house project.
