Judges give our Brattleboro club the credit
of being nm excellent nine who play good
game and behave themselves admirably on
the field. We learn that they are engaged to
play at Claremont, n. H., on the Fourth Of
July, for the championship Of the State Of
Yermont-the Prociorsyille nine and the
Central Vermont nine (made up from the
employees of that company being the other
| clubs In the morning the three clubs will
| draw lots, the two TO whom the lot falls play
! ing game, and the vctors in that contest
| playing in the afternoon with the remaining
nine for the championship.
The examination of the Grammar school
| closed on Wednesday afternoon with rhetori-
cal exercises by the graduating class, Of high
ORDER and which called out a large attendance
of parents and friends This class, number
| ing % members, which have been examined
for promotion to the High school, compare
favorably in both written and oral eYamna-
tons with the senior class in any preceding
! year. Their Rotations in arithmetic are
spoken Of by the committee rs having been
particularly brilliant Two members Of the
class, Will Bracket and Alice Willard, rank
10 in all the examinations, while several 9th
ers ranked but one or two points lower, fact
which is worthy of mention. Judging from
the proficiency shown by Miss Roys's junior
class in practical arithmetic, next years senior
class will not be whit behind the one which
has just graduated. The High school exaini-
nation is in progress to day and closes to-
morrow, Friday.
