Saturdays game demonstrated to many
minds the superiority of the Bratteboro
nine over the Northampton team. The
home boys are not only fielders but hitters
also. Woodcock is seldom trounced as he
was in this game our boys cracking out II
hits, with a total of Is in a right merry
way. The "merry- go-round," however,
ceased when the "bid for base was reach
ed, as the throwing of Mahaney was per-
lection itself. The Brattleboro players
wasted several runs by reckless and stupid
base running. Fully 100 people saw the
contest, which was one of the most eXcit-
ing ever played on the grounds The WISH
tors led until the seventh inning, when the
home team forged ahead amid great excite
ment, and several hundred hats and UNI
brellas hUated recklessly through the air at
this time.
Carr, the first batsman, picked out the
third ball pitched and made a beautiful hit
over the centre field fence for a home run.
The visitors scored again in the sixth inn
ing, on a three-base hit by Carr and a sin
gle by Smith. The home team hit hard,
but only twice safely, until the seventh
inning, when sweet revenge was theirs, as
MahOney hit safely to left field, and Cain
followed with a beautiful twO-bagger over
Carr's head, advancing MahOney to third.
BY carelessness and poor coaching Mahoney
was caught mapping; Sullivan hit safely,
Cain scoring; O'Neill sacrificed at first,
Sullivan advancing to third; Fitzmaurice,
who has proved bonanza, made a clean
hit to centre, Sullivan scoring; Stuart made
his second hit Of the game, Fitzmaurice
taking second; Bowers used good eye and
obtained base on balls, filling the bases.
Leahy batted a high fly to right field,

The Annual Report---a Lively Time An
ticipated at the Annual Meeting next
Tuesday Evening.
The annual report of the prudential com
mittce and auditor of school district No. 2
has been printed, and is ready for dstr-
button today. The financial report shows
a balance of Sl070O i'm hand after paying
all expenses and $1,000 of the bonded debt.
a tax of 40 cents is recommended for the
coming year. Estimates are given of the
cost of grading the Canal street lot, ready
to build a new schoOlhouse there, and
reference is made to several different plans
for such a building, which will be submitted
to the voters at the school meeting next
Tuesday evening. The committee speak in
their report of the good work done in the
several grades, and especially of the ad-
vantages which have resulted from the
adoption of the "Quincy method of in
struction in the lower grades. Miss Wood,
who has held the important position of
supervisor for five years past, submits a
report, somewhat in detail, on the character
of the work done in the grades under her
charge, and the objects which 1t is sought
to accomplish. The committee express
regret that the state of Miss Woods health
will forbid a renewal of her engagement for
another year.
The discussion of High school affairs
continues to be an animated topic about
town, and it is the general impression that
there is likely to be a lively discussion of
the situation ON the evening of the school
meeting. Various reports are in circulation
as to what it will be attempted to do, one
of these being that there will be a move
ment To reprimand the committee by put
| ting a new man i'm place of Mr.. Stoddard,
who comes up for reelection this year and
another that a resolution will be introduced
! instructing the committee to reGngage Mr.
McLachlin. In the present state of public
I feeling it is entirely proper that there should
/ be full discussion Of all questions at issue.
! including specifically the general manage
ment of the High school The people of
the district are entitled to full information.
and it is probable that this will he forth
coming from the committee in case any
| such movement as is here inlcated should
be attempted. 1t is probable, however,
that moderate and wise counsels will prevail.
There is realization on the part of all
fair-minded people that the past two years
have been difficult and trying ones for Mr..
McLachlin. As they would have been for
whatever teacher succeeded Mr.. Bingham.
1t is a serious question, however, for his
personal friends and supporters to consid-
err whether in the divided state of feeling
in the district which would inevitably en-
sue, 1t would be for the best good of him
self or the district to retain him in the
principalship after the committee have de-
cided that lit is unwise to so retain him.

"PULLFD'' FOR LIQUOR SELLING

The officers have been satisfied for some
time past that Geo. II. Reed, the lumber
dealer, now occupying the |. X. Allen
stand, was running a bug-juice annex in
connection with his lumber business. 1t
was several weeks ago that their suspic-
ions were aroused. 4 watch was kept that
confirmed this feeling, and evidence was
secured that would assure his conviction.
Last night Officers Mcclure and Gordon
made search of his premises, but found
nothing contraband except the smell of an
empty jug. Reed was arrested. and on
being brought before Judge Newton this
morning plead not guilty, On trial. how
ever, he was convicted of one offence for
which he was fined $50 and costs. amount
ing to Si2.9l. This he declined to pay,
saying he would go to Rutland and work 1t
out, which would mean residence for him
of 2ST days at that popular resort.
The evidence which convicted him was
that of l.. F. Bowker, who said that he
went to Reeds place Wednesday evening
with half-pint bottle which Reed filled for
him with whiskey and for which Bowker
paid 30 cents, sampling the goods on the
premises with Reeds permission. On
leaving Reed told him not to come again in
the evening, as the place was being watched,
but to come in the daytime by the front
door SO as not to arouse suspicion.

A Northampton &" squavk."

The Hampshire Gazette of this week has
the following:
I'm the presence of bowling mob of 100 the
Brattleboros defeated the Northamptons. after a
close and exciting contest at Bratteboro Saturday.
Our home team was accompanied by about 40
admirers, including many of the fair sex, who did
their best 20 cheer their nine to victory despite
the abuse of the crowd, which was directed
especially upon the members Of last years
Brattleboro team. Many of the balls
which Were given ON hits ON good grounds, would
have been outs, and most of the errors on
Northampton's side were caused by the wretched
grounds. Tuesday Brattleboro plays here and
the game will be for blood; please don't forget it,
Our boys have been winning so much that they let
the Brattleboros win as a matter of policy. II
was only teaser 10 get them to come ON to greater
defeats"
A poor excuse may be better than none,
but the Gazette has a very poor one indeed
when it says the NOrthamptons lost the
game on account of the ''wretched grounds, :"
when but three errors were made by them,
two by SpOOner and one by Eagan. The
hits made by the BrattlebOros were all
clean hits, and could not have been fielded
Again, If the BrattlebOros had not been
reckless on the bases the score would have
been too one sided to have been interesting
The truth of it all is, the NOrthamptons
and their admirers came here confident of
victory, and to lose the game and their
money was too much. Instead of owning
up in a spOrtsmanlike manner that they
were Outplayed, they are now trying to
"squawk," by saying that they gave away
the game. Do not be so sure of the series

By local applications as they cannot reach the

way TO cure deafness and that is by constitutional

THE FREE DELIVERY SERVICE.
Changes Recently Made by the Depart.
ment.

The post-office department, beginning
with July, has simplified the daily trip and
monthly reports of the letter carriers by
the omission of the requirement of sepa-
rately counting and recording the pieces of
mail matter handled. This saves, it is
said, an expense in time of nearly $1,000
per day TO the service. New reports are
supplied which will show the actual time
necessarily consumed by the carriers in the
performance of their duties, to the correct
ness of which the postmaster must certify
at the end of each month, to the end that
the carriers shall not work over eight hours
as provided by law. The service will not
however, be impaired by the change, mas
much as the carriers will have more time,
and therefore there will be less liability of
their making errors.

Tea n. eIo Ia.. Sd. Per Ponnd .

Unusual excitement prevailed on
Tuesday in the London Commercial
Tea Sale Rooms, Mincinglane, on the
offering by Messrs. Cow, Wilson, and
Stanton, tea brokers, in public auction
OF a small lot OF Ceylon tea, from the
Gartmore estate. This tea possesses
extradorniary quality in liquor, and is
composed almost entirely OF small
golden tips" which are the extreme
ends of the small succulent shoots OF
the plant, and the preparation OF such
tea is OF course most costly.
Competition was OF very keen de-
scription. The bidding, which was pretty
general TO the start with, commenced
with an offer of fl Is. per pound; as
the price advanced E8 many buyers
dropped out and at this price about
five wholesale dealers were willing to
purchase. Offers were then up to
about 60 9s. by three OF the leading
houses, the tea being ultimately
knocked down to the Mazawattee
Ceylon Tea Company at the most
extraordinary and unprecedented price
OF f10 l2s. Cd. per pound.-London

some Egg superstitions.

The ancient Firms believe that a
mystic bird laid an egg on the lap OF
Vaimainou, who hatched it in his
bosom. He let it fall into the water
and it broke, the lower portion of the
shell forming the earth, the upper
the sky; the liquid white be-
came the sun and the yolk the moon,
while the little fragments OF broken
shell were transformed into stars.
English and Irish nurses instruct
children when they have eaten boiled
egg to always push the spoon though
the bottom OF the shell cor else the
witches will make boats Of them" In
France similar custom prevails, but
the reason assigned for it is that magi-
clans formerly used eggs in concocting
their diabolical witcheries.-St. Louis
Republic.
