RESULT OF THE TRIAL.

The result of the trial for the first prize
was just rs the majority of the people
thought that it would be, and it gave gen.
cral satisfaction. The distance over the
nearest throw to it was SO great that there
was no chance for grumbling by any party.
The Salem boys, who had stood at the head
over the throws of six engines, took their
defeat in a good manner, and congratula-
ted the Chicks that they had made such a
good play. AS will be seen from the
figures given above the Salem boys took
the second prize on throw of 1872 feet
inches, and the NJ. b. Little the third.
Both companies are composed of fine ap-
pearing men and are well deserving OF
their victories.
AS soon as the result of the trial for the
first prize was known the "Nicks" decora-
ted their engine with brooms, and from
each side was suspended placard on which
were the following words clay rack
ahead" The ropes were named, and
headed by their drum corps they paraded
the streets, and bringing up at the depot,
loaded their engine and then proceeded
back to the lot where the trials for the
second and third prizes were taking place.
While this trial was in progress the
Gleason hooks escorted by Sullivan's band
proceeded to the residence of j. j. Gray,
Esq, and rendered him the compliment of
a sercnade. After performing several
pieces in their usual good manner they
were invited by Mr.. GRAY to enter the
house where refreshments were rendered
them in Mr. Gray's hospitable manner.
AS soon as the result of the second trial
had been made known the foremen of the
winning engines proceeded to the engine
hall of the Grays where the prizes were
paid.
In addition to the money prizes large
broom was presented to each of the win

ceremony took place at the residence OF
the brides father, Z. ]. Whitcomb, Esq,
on Tuesday evening the 18th inst, the
Rev. $. p. Cook of the Congregational
church officiating, performing the service
in pleasing yet impressive manner.
The occasion was graced by the presence
of goodly number of the relatives and
personal friends of the happy pair, the
only circumstance shadowing the festitivi-
ties of the hour, being the knowledge each
one possessed that the bride would soon de-
part, seeking new home in the far west.
The parents of the bride felt this very
sensibly on the marriage of this their only
child. Every arrangement connected with
the wedding was well conceived and adj
mirably carried out,
The bride appeared to great advantage,
being tastefully and appropriately arrayed
in spotless white. Perfectly self-possessed
throughout the trying ordeal she was the
admired of all who were present.
Mr.. Adrich, though formerly resident
of Ludlow, has been absent FOR term of
years, and must have felt himself next to
an entire stranger to the larger part of the
company present, still he was not at all

The Bennington Banner, in speaking of
the recent murder trial in Rutland says !:
In the trial of Phair, for the murder of
Mrs. Freeze, at Rutland the jury on Sat
urday night brought ina verdict of muir
der in the first degree, which must prove
satisfactory to all who have read the tesli-
mony and learned how surely and unms-
takably the facts proved the prisoner to be
the guilty man, Phair has not yet been
sentenced. The court is granting his coun-
sci all required time to prepare their bill of
exceptions, and as the term will continue
for two or three weeks Judge Wheeler will
probably wait a reasonable time before an
nouncing to the culprit his doom. Under
our statute Phair will haye two years in
state prison before he is hanged, which is a
mercifu and cautionary provision against
hurrying coming convict to the scatfold
until he has all possible opportunities to pro-
duce everything in his favor to save his
life. After the expiration of the year he
will be hanged in the prison yard at Wind
sor. In this case we think Phair ought to
be hanged in Rutland, and the sooner,
within proper time, the better. The world
is better off, and life safer, with such cool,
deliberate and hardened butchers out of it.

"The base bali TOurnament.o

EDITOR RUTLAND GLOBE We beg
leave to call the attention of your readers
to the notice in the Tuesdays Globe of
this week, given by the directors of the
base ball tournament lately held in Rut-
land, as we consider said notice uncalled
for and unjust.
AT meeting of the directors and cap
tains of the several clubs, held at the
Bardwell house, Wednesday evening, Oc-
tober 18th, the directors gave us to under
stand that the Nameless and the Actives
were to play for the first prize Thursday
morning, and in the afternoon the Dexters
and Bolivars were to play, and the vctors
to play with the Nameless or Actives Gas
the case might beg for the second prize,
and the programme was carried out on
Thursday according to this understanding
and at the close of the third inning of the
last game to be played the game was called
on account of the darkness, and de-
clarcd eight to one in favor of the Actives
by the umpire.
At this point the objection now raised,
that the contest for the second prize was
not according to the rule of the tourna-
ment, ETC., etc and the result is the notice
referred to. We do not see how the
directors were led to this conclusion, as
they assented to the arrangements already
stated, and allowed the game to go on to
the close without any objection. AS the
case now stands, we claim the second prize,
and we know of no objection that can be
made to it, unless 1t may be on the ground
that the game between the Actives and
Bolivars was not finished, having played
only three innings, with the result as stated
We propose to be fair in regard to this
matter, and will go to Rutland to play the
other two innings with the Bollvars If the
directors desire but we do protest against
the second prize being disposed of in any
other way, and we think the disinterested
public will agree with us in this respect.
1t is said the Actives did not do as they
should have done. We think the same
would apply to all concerned. But they
surely did nothing to warrant another trial
for the second prize, as proposed by the
directors.

1t was the intention Of the donors to
have the blank filed with the name of the
company receiving them, but owing to the
latcness of the hour it was left for the
companies receiving them to fill each out
themselves.
Some considerable time had to be spent
waiting for the trains that were to convey
the boys home, which was spent in social
visiting, all appearing to be well satisfied
with the result of the days proceedings,
and no quarrelling or angry talk was heard
then or at any time during the day. About
eight p. m. the train left Cambridge con-
veying the Rutland, Salem, Whitehall and
Glens Falls boys away. The Nlcks arrived
home abont eleven o'clock and were met
at the depot by the members of the other
companies with lighted torches, who es-
cofted them TO their engine house, where
the company was dismissed and the boys
went home, tired it is true but feeling well
repaid for the days work, and knowing
that for the present at least, "they am the
boss"
The members of the press were enter
tanned while at Cambridge by j. J. Gray,
Esq, by sumptuous dinner, furnished
them at his residence, and among the many
pleasant incidents of the day that will he
the longest remembered by those who par
took of it. Among the members of the
press seated at the table were Hon. j. s.
Smart, and Henry Noble of the Washing
ton county Post.

During the second trial of the Stark just
as they were settling down to business, the
coupling nearest the pipe blew out. This
was replaced by another length of hose and
work had hardly began again when another
break was noticed and the boys had to
withdraw.

RAILROAD THIEF CAUGHT.


About halfpast ten o'clock Tuesday
night, as John Douglass, Waterman for the
Delaware and Hudson railroad company,
was going his rounds he discovered that a
freight car loaded with merchandise for
our town had been broken open. On going
into the car he discovered a man busily
employed in loading himself with boots,
shoes, &c. With his usual promptncss,
Douglass captured the burglar and soon
consigned him to the care of officer
Thomas. He was brought before Justice
Smith this morning "wednesday and after
brief examination committed to the
fatherly care of Sheriff Larman at Salem,
to await the action of the grand jury. The
culprit answered to the name of Ed. La
Mountain, and had in his possession when
caught large screw-driver, long, broad
bladed knife, ard piece OF soap. Said
piece of soap he had evidently obtained for
the purpose of moving his booty with
greater facility, as it was attached to a
numbcrlcss string of boots and shoes.
