...FARMINGTON, CONN., Nov. 20.--In this afternoon's signal practice Captain Burr was in his old position at left guard. Although his arm has been improving rapidly, it is still a question whether he will play in tomorrow's game. The probability is that he will play, although the matter will not definitely be decided until just before the game.

He did this always politely, and not from wanton aggression, but the very polish of his expressions, his logic which could not be confuted, and the wealth of examples which his well-furnished mind could bring to the support of his positions, sometimes drove his opponents almost rabid in their replies to him.
