Hard cover book. The Story of Marco Author: Eleanor Hodgman Porter Publisher: A L Burt & Co Date: 1912-1937 Further Information: Light blue Cloth hardcover with no publication lettering only hand written title in black texter to spine. The spine has a Library label with an inscription.fictionThe Story of Marco, first published in 1911, was Eleanor H. Porter's third novel, and the first in which music plays a central role in her fiction. The story opens in the fictional mining town of Gaylordville, Pennsylvania, where a band of gypsies has decamped, leaving behind a sick woman and her nine-year-old boy, Marco Ferdinando Bonelli. After his mother dies, Marco, a gifted violinist, has to make his own way in the world, eventually setting out to find the sister who left with the gypsy band. Along the way he's helped by a series of kind people, and the book follows his growth from a homeless, penniless boy into a young man who repays the kindness shown to him. It's a "rags-to-character" story typical of Porter, aimed at the same teenage readership as Pollyanna.warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, the story of marco, eleanor h porter, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, pattison collection, warrnambool library, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library

This trophy was won by the West End Football Club in 1937. This football team appears to date back from the late 1890s but it is known that it was competing in the early 1900s in the Thursday afternoon matches in the Warrnambool and District Football Association. In the 1930s it was in the Warrnambool Football Association competition and about the 1960s it amalgamated with Allansford to form the West End Allansford Football Club. The name West End disappeared in 2001 when the name changed to Allansford Football Netball Club. No further information has been found on the J.Earls Cup.Although this trophy is in poor condition it is interesting as a memento of a local club that existed for over 100 years.This is a gold-coloured cup with a slender tapering piece resting on a circular base. The base is on a brown Bakelite stand. The cup has had two side handles but one handle is missing. The stand has a silver-coloured plaque. The cup and plaque are much stained and oxidized. ‘W.F.A. J.
