TrOtting.
No Trotting at Hampden Park.

The Hampden Park association has
voted to hold no trotting races this year.
and it will be the first time in - years that
the races at Springfield, Mass, have been
omitted. The action is the result of the
raids made on the pool sellers last year, for
which the cases are still pending in court.
The directors of the association do not
believe that they can make the races sue
cessful without pool selling. but are IN
willing to allow it in face of the law and
sentiment of part of the community against
it.
Fifty-five fine specimens of the American
trot;ing horse are now in training at John

The latest arrival at the former stable is
the handsome royal bred colt Walter STAN

pect Maid, 2:23t, by George Wilkes, and
owned by c. c. Warren of Waterbury.
This is considered the finest bred colt in
Vermont.

mile in 2:2G, a second in 2:24, and a half
in 1:l0 when the accident occurred. Sig
light is entered in an important race at
Fitchburg in about 10 days. 1t is thought
that the injury will disable the trotter for
only short time.

A FIENDISH ASSAULT.
The Victim a German Girl OF
COlrain.

Her Assnilant Has Been at work In Hall
fox--He Has Served a Term In Prison
for similar Crime,
An attempted outrage and murder was
committed at East Colrain, Mass, Wednes-
day forenoon on the person of the 15-year-
old daughter of VIM. Sessler, German
The other members of the family were az
Greenfield. A man called at the house and
asked for food, which was given him. He
remained at the house about three hours,
and told the girl that he was one of the
owners of the Houghton deer preserve in
Halifax. He asked the privilege of meas
uring the chimney of the house upstairs,
as he said he wished to construct a similar
one in a house which he was to build in
Halifax. The girl accompanied him up
stairs, when he attacked her. He threw
her to the floor, but she resisted him with
all her strength. He then seized a chop
ping knife and struck her several times,
apparently attempting to cut her throat,
but only succeeded in making a bad cash.
The girl pretended to faint. He left her
for a moment and she quickly arose, locked
the door, and jumped from the window to
the ground. She then ran to the Denni-
son house, distance of so rods
The blood came from her throat: one
ear was nearly severed from her head one
eye was nearly closed, and there was a
large swelling on one of her temples
She was tenderly cared for by Mrs. Den
nison, who is a cripple. There was no
man in the neighborhood, and a general
alarm was not given for several hours.
The assailant undoubtedly passed through
Greenfield as he was given ride from
Leyden to Greenfield in the afternoon 10y
Seth Newton. His name is Joseph War
rem. In 1884, while employed as farm
hand at West Deerfield, Mass, Warren as
saulted Miss Cooley of that place, a school
teacher who boarded with the man by
whom he was employed. He was sent to
the state prison for this offence. He was
released about a year and half ago. His
whereabouts since his release up to six
weeks ago are unknown. At that time he
passed through Greenfield. He secured
odd jobs in the Green River valley. For
the past two or three weeks he has worked
for Charles Prouty, who owns farm in
Halifax near the Houghton deer park.
Warren was arrested yesterday in Deer
field. At hearing his bonds were fixed
at 5000, in default of which he went to
jail. He claims to have spent Wednesday
in walking from Wendell to Mortified and
from there TO Deerfield.

Parties owning some of our trout streams
have recently invoked the aid of the state ;
attorney in settling with fishermen from
out of town who have disregarded the law
in regard to fishing. This has been done
by way of warning to any who are disposed
to overlook the rights of the owners of trout
streams. Let all fishermen first consult
the owner before casting their line into
any stream where signs are displayed.

Mrs. E. &. Richardson, whose seizure
with a sudden attack of acute mental dis
ease was mentioned last week, died at the
Retreat early last evening. Her condition
after going to her fathers in Putnev grew
worse rather than better, and on Saturday
she was taken to the Retreat for treatment.
The physicians found her suffering from
brain trouble of an infamatory nature and
death resulted beyond doubt from an ex-
udaton arising from this condition. Mrs
Richardson was a native of Putney and
one of the five children of Marshall Pierce.

seph Ferriter and Chas. Cleveland, and the
Crosby brothers of Dummerston, rode to
Greenfield Wednesday to witness the races
of the Franklin county wheelmen. Harry
Randall and Dan Webster were also there.
The greatest interest centered in the races
in which F. b. Stowe of Conway and A.
II. Davey of Greenfield were contestants,
as the question of county championship
was at stake. In the mile race Stowe won
by six inches, with Rist of Turner's Falls
II and Putnam of Greenfield only Is
inches behind the winner. Stoves time
was 2:304. In the two-mile race both
Stowe and Davey fell Seven wheels were

Several local bicyclsts have recently tried
their speed on the Valley Fair ground
track. Arthur Staples, who has done but
little riding this season, surprised the boys
by establishing a new record for the mile
and half mile, covering the latter distance
in LII on a road wheel to which he was
not accustomed. Leon Lamb. Mr.. Combs
and Frank Putnam have covered q half
mile two or three seconds slower than
Staples, while Herbert Elmer has shown
his ability at longer distances.
Challenge TO Any Bicycle Club In Ver-
mont.
The Barre bicycle club has issued a
challenge to any club or town in Vermont
to match team of five men against a sim
liar number of Barre, to race five or -
miles, on road or track, for a 500 trophy.
II. NJ. Wood is the local representative
of the Wheelmen's Registration company
of Boston. The object of the concern is
to insure bicycles against theft When a
wheel is stolen the owner is provided with
another for 80 days, and if at the end of
that time his wheel has not been recovered
he is given a new one.
The one mile open, best two in three. at

Stuart Would Like to Manage BrattIe-
bOro Tenn.

\. W. Stuart, the centre fielder of the
Brattleboro team four seasons. would like
to manage a club here this year. He saws
that he feels confident that he knows the
kind of base ball demanded in Bratteboro
and that he can get the players. There
seems, however, a very dubious prospect
for a salaried team in Brattleboro. The
first reason is that Brattlehoro ought not
to spare the money for maintaining a team.
The second is that there are no nearby
clubs for opponents.

The Services OF Memorial sunday and
Memorial Day.

The annual Memorial Sunday services
and sermon to the Grand Army were held
last Sunday in the opera house. The ser
vice was opened with reading of the Scrip
lures by Rev. j. +. Narramore, followed
by prayer by Rev. J. E. Fullerton. The
sermon was delivered by Rev.E. E. Marg-
graf, followed by short remarks from
Father Hoolihan of North Walpole.
Music was furnished by the choir of the
Universalist church. The services were
very interesting, and the address one well
worth listening to.
We expect showers on Memorial day,
but they were very light this year. There
were, perhaps, fewer outside people in
town than in other years, yet it was good
" crowd that witnessed the formation OF
the procession in the square. The line
was not as long as usual, consisting of the
band, Sons of Veterans, veterans and Relief
corps. After services at the cemetery they
returned to the opera house. where the eX-
ercises were similar to those of former
years. After music by the band Rev. j..

was sung by the quartet; Miss Sadie Mich

The Junior Exhibition.

The regular sale of seats for the Junior
exhibition began Wednesday morning, al
though those holding certificates were en-
titled TO select their seats on Tuesday, and
at an early hour a large share of the best
seats was taken. This promises to be one
of the events of the season, though among
the latest. The pupils of the junior class
have been for about two months past under
the instruction of Miss Conant, teacher
of elocution and physical culture at Yer
mont Academy. The exhibition itself
will be well worth the admission fee,
without mention of the music The
program of recitations includes Is num-
bers. The MyrOn Whitney male quar-
tet is to furnish music. This fact alone
ought to insure full house, as the quartet
is probably the finest of its kind in the
country. Mr.. Whitney has promised to
appear in at least two solos, also in a duet.
