well repaid those who climbed the hill and
paid their twenty-five cents for the privi-
lege of seeing it. Miles Standsh was in
splendid form, and TO his effective work as
pitcher was in good measure due the
TACT that only one OF the Goddards crossed
the home plate. But the boys "played
ball every one of them, and had the God
dards completely at their mercy. A large
delegation of students, including many
young ladies', were present from Goddard
but their enthusiastic cheers could not win
the game Tor their favorites, and the colors
of the Goddards gradually disappeared from
sight as the game progressed. The young
ladies from the Methodist Seminary were
also present in force, and joined heartily in
the yells " that were so often given Fol
lowing is the score by innings:

WHILE the stage presentation of the
Comfy Fair, last week, was all that could
be desired, the management of the affair
was " skin " from start to finish. Only
the front row of seats in the gallery was
reserved, and, acting on the knowledge of
this fact, nearly one hundred people waited
in line at the box Office an hour before the
doors were opened, when they quickly
hled the next two rows. Then the man
from Barre who was playing the troupe in
Montpelier, finding that the hall was sure
TO be filled, sold coupon tickets at seventy
five cents each for these seats that were
already occupied. Manager Blanchard who
was as thoroughly disguised as it was DOS
sble for a mortal to be, and Policeman
Hunt declined to interfere in the matter
and the most of those who occupied the
seats held them during the evening Sew
eral who had paid a coupon price for a
ticket went to the box office and demanded
their money, accompanying their demand
with remarks that were anything but COM
plimentary to the temporary management
Several business men in town who were
entitled to tickets for Autograph privileges
failed to receive them, and those who did
were obliged to chase the manager over
town and corner him before they could get
the pasteboards. Neither Mr.. Blanchard
nor the proprietors of the show were in any
way responsible for these things, and it is
safe to say that it will be a good many
moons before the man who played the
County Fair " in Montpelier will have
anything to do with play at Blanchard
opera house.
