Rhode Island Musketeers are making good progress in their bid to put out a corps this season, and it looks as though they will make it come the next All American Circuit contest at Meriden, Conn., Aug. 12th.

Bristol Rangers have been holding rehearsals, but have shown no public appearances as yet.

Bristol Kingsmen will not field a corps this season due to the fact they have lost a great many men, most of whom were in the eighteen and nineteen year bracket.

The Rhode Island Assn. will sanction two contests this season, plus the Annual, which is the championship. The first contest will be held on Aug. 4 at Cranston Stadium. This will be the Assn's first contest under the lights. The second contest will be two weeks later at Somerset, Mass. on Aug. 12. This contest will be held at Potter's Field at 2 p.m. The date of the annual is not officially known yet, so watch this column for further information.

While the Somerville T-Birds have just become members of this Assn., it is out that the Jolly Whalers of New Bedford have dropped out due to the fact that they will concentrate their talents on the Northeastern Circuit.
