CIRCUS DAY NOTES.

The railroads did a big business,
bringing 80 carloads of people to see
the big show.
The show came from White6eld
Monday night over the Lake road
and went to Wells River on Tuesday
night. They exhibited at Mont
pelier yesterday.
Chief of Police Miller had an extra
force of policemen on duty, but the
crowd was a very orderly one and
only one arrest for intoxication was
made.
The heavy showers prevented a
good attendance at the evening
performance and there were hardly
1000 people present. The entertain
ment was given in full and was quite
up to the afternoon exhibition.
The circus did not bring with it
any tough characters or sharps and
there was no complaint to the police
OF any pockets being picked or any
crookedness upon or adjacent to the
grounds. The management are to
be congratulated upon their success
full efforts to keep swindlers away
from the show.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Woodstock Standard, speak
ing of a recent game here, calls it a
"fne one," refers to the St. Johns
burys as a "crack local team" and
closes by saying that 1.-THE Wood
stock boys have words of praise for
the st. Johnsburyites for their
courtesy and hospitality. There is
talk that they may cross bats again
within two or three weeks"
Rain put an end to the rubbergame
between the St. Johnsburys and Lyn-
donviles on Saturday in the middle
of the third inning. Carter was in
the box for the visitors and Quacken-
boss for the home team. The ball
was wet and neither pitcher could
control it to the best advantage.
The Lyndonvilles failed to score,
while the St. Johnsburys gathered in
one run in the first and three in the
second inning. But this trial did not
count, and the rubber" yet remained
to be played. A soaking rain drove
the crowd home.
Frye's distribution of Victor score
cards on Saturday was appreciated.
The St. Johnsbury ball nine start
ed on short trip yesterday morn
ing. They played at Concord yester-
day and will play the Portsmouth
Athletics today. Games are scheduled

exciting game.

the Lyndonvilles and St. Johnshurys
was played here on Tuesday, before
a fairly large crowd, in spite of the
rain. The home team took the lead
handsomely and beat the visitors,
13 to 2.

THE CLOVER TEA.

This little entertainment given by
the ladies of the North church on. the
parsonage lawn last Friday evening
was delightful affair and enjoyed
by a large number of people. The
weather seemed to have been made
for the occasion. The parsonage it.
self was prettily trimmed with flags
and bunting. Chinese lanterns were
strung about the lawn, and this
with the table decorations and the
bright colors in wearing apparel,
gave that particular locality decid-
edly festive and attractive appear
ance. The bill of fare included some
"substantials," ice cream and cake
appearing in the second course. The
GLOVER flavor was not tasted in the
tea, but developed later in the hunt
for four-leaf clovers hid upon the
clothing of some of those present.
Mr.. Joy OF Minneapolis, a guest at
DR.. Nelson's, was the most successful
searcher, winning the prize Ia bot
tie OF clover perfume) for finding six
clovers. During the evening Miss
Lamson and Mr.. Batchelder favored
the company with piano and cornet
music. Later the band was present
and played several selections. The
Glover tea" was social and financial
! success.

THE WEATHER.

Copious showers the past week
have been very acceptable and done
much to improve the crops and vege-
tation. Yesterday morning about 8
O'Clock there was a curious phe-
nomenon. A smart shower accom-
panied by west wind was immedi-
ately followed by heavy clouds that
lay very close to the ground. For a
few minutes it was quite dark, and
many feared one of those house-lift-
ing Western cyclones was just ready
to break over the village. In a few
minutes the dark clouds had passed
and all was over.
A cold wave struck town Saturday
and until yesterday it has been un.
comfortable indoors without fire.
Within the week the mercury has
been within FIVE degrees of the freez-
ing point one morning and $50 two
mornings.

TRIBUTE TO A PRINCIPAL.

The Andover, Mass, Townsman
pays this tribute to Miss Watson,
principal of Abbott Academy at And
over and formerly teacher at St.
Johnsbury Academy:
Miss Watson has won and worn her
laurels modestly. She has confronted
delicate and difficult problems without
parade. She has reduced the debt on
one building and been the medium of a
school offering toward another necessi-
tated by the schools prosperity under
her charge. She has appreciated, utl-
lied, and unified a faculty of rare ability
and devotion, from which she is too soon
to miss one bright particular star. She
has met the desire of parents and the de-
mand OF institutions by launching with
marked advantage the college prepara-
tory course. She has enjoyed the cooper
alton the alumnae in literary and scien-
tiic courses OF permanent value to the
community. She has achieved much for
the common good of Abbott, Phillips
and Andover.
