Cost OF Street Lights.

A five year contract was made by
the village with the Fall Mountain
Paper Company for lighting the streets
in 1890. This contract expires next
August A. AT the corporation meeting
April Is, the bailifls We're instructed to
make a contract for three years from
the date of expiration of the old con-
tract. This contract has not been made
yet.
Under the old contract there are 81
arc lights 80 of these run until 1890
O'Clock, moonlight schedule seven run
all night. The lighting has cost the
village S215.42 a month, or about 50, $50
per year. 1t is probable that the new
contract will change these rates some.
The bailiffs have been authorized to
put in II new lights, if in their judg-
ment they think best. 1t is very likely
that an arc light will be placed on the
South Terrace, and a few incandescents
may be put up at different points.

Gypsies.

A band of gypsies has been camped
near Drislane's on the Westminster
road and have done flourishing BUSH
ness in horse trading. They brought
several fine roadsters which were dis
posed of to Bellows Falls parties in
exchange for other horses and some adj
ditional cash. The gypsies had good
wagons, took excellent care of their
stock and conducted themselves in an
exemplary manner. One day last
week they fired two Westminster men
from their camp because they were
drunk. They belong to the gypsy tribe
that makes its headquarters in Connect
lieut., and are not identified with the
rowing Canucks that beg, steal and Dor
row everything they can lay their
hands on.

High School Athletics.

The High school boys had their an
nual field day Tuesday on the strip of
lawn in front of James l.. Morgan's on
Rockingham street. This competition
is practically to prepare candidates for
the interscholastic games at Claremont
the last of the month. Unfortunately
there is no suitable place here where
the students can indulge in practice,
and their powers are not so fully de-
veloped as they should be. The past
two years the boys were discouraged
and made little attempt to do anything
at the spring meet. This year, how
ever, they have overcome many obsta-
cles in the way of practice, and have
made fair showing-excellent in fact,
considering all things.
No time was taken on the dashes or
runs, and the jumps were not as good
as the same contestants could make on
a spaded track The jumps were on the
greensward where great care was neces-
sary to avoid slipping, and naturally
deferred the boys from doing their best.
The events and their winners were as
follows: so
1OO-yard dash-Campbell l; WEIGH, 2.
Running high jump--Hackett, l,

the school. Now if they can let out q
notch or two at Claremont, May 81
they should carry off some of the prizes
at the interscholastic event.
