team, but by clever team work they
prevented their worthy opponents from
securing touch down In the las
half Porter, the half back for the V.
A.. was seriously injured and had to be
carried from the field. The work OF
-O'Brien. Cray, Bacon and Clark OF
the home team and of Porter, Conn,

was of high order.
Think BrattlebOrO Slow Place.
Quite number of Ballows Fails
people were left over at Brattleboro
THURSDAY because of misunderstood
ing as to the leaving time of the spec
iai train. In some way it was under

it during the fair, it is rather slow
place for strangers of an evening, espec-
iallv while waiting for train.
