1t is noticed that Ed Gould has begun
II, cr>,;,,n IL q
bathing house for his hack, getting the water
r from the watering trough. Now this has
$ never seemed very desirable thing to do,
from the standpoint of a citizen, and it is
v question if the public cares to have it con-
! tinued. Now that there is plenty of water,
that counts for nothing; but it makes
+ naturally muddy place even more muddy,
h and besides, doesn't give strangers good i'm
preston of the town to see public hack be-
ing washed in the business square. AS yet,
i our delicate feelings have not been Injured
b by any other person, by like acts, but if one
is allowed such privileges, why not every
= owner of wagon or wheelbarrow in town!
The April number of the Vermont Acad-
envy Life is by far the neatest issue of that
bright school paper ever published. 1t is il
: Illustrated with fullpage engravings of the
i Academy buildings, board of Life editors
: and the foot ball team, and is printed on
heavy coated paper. Its pages are filled with
S matters of interest to the students and their
e friends, letters from former pupils, locals,
V personals, ETC.. with the advertising pages
well filled by the representative firms in this
J. section. From an artistic standpoint as
: well, it is pleasing to the eye from the excel
II lence of the work, the letter press being from
!. new type, and the presswork a striking de-
parture from that too often seen on such
work, the entire job being done in the book
: and JOB department of THE TIMES. Copies
a of the Life may be obtained at newsdealers,
= and are well worth the price charged
). souvenir of our home Academy.
. The annual warning must be given to hi
a. cycle riders to keep off the sidewalks. There
. are so many riders this season that the lines
. must be drawn very closely, and no infringe
. ment of the law will be tolerated. If you
want to avoid a fine keep in the road. And
u right here it may be best to speak of what
$ part of the road to ride on. When passing a
u team or footman going the same way, go by
II on the left side; if coming towards you, pass
to the right. These rules are for horsemen
Ell as well, and all will do well to remember
a them as in case of runaway or accident, if
|. riding in the wrong place, you will be liable
is for damages. Now just a word for the
wheelmen. There are some parts of the vii
l. lage where the streets are impossible, Ell Their
y, from mud or washouts, and when passage on
e sidewalks is denied, their rights are abridged.
+ The laws give bicyclists equal rights with
horsemen, which includes passabe highways,
- and from sense of justice those streets
y | which are now in such bad condition that
= they cannot be traversed with wheel should
- be repaired at once. 1t is also proper to re-
/ mark that veocipedes are under the bal, and
| will be excluded from the sidewalks of the
u village.
