Sportsmen are fretting good deal
over the fact that still another

driving along the country roads not to
run over them. Last year the season
opened on August i, but that was
thought to be too early, and another

weeks secret service agent Of the
Hawaiian government has been sta
TONED here, though he is now out Of
town. He and a Seattle detective, in
his employ, are watching the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern rail-
roads for an expected shipment Of sew
eral hundred rifles and half a dozs n
gatling guns, which, it is believed,
Hawaiian royalists sympathizers have
ordered of Eastern manufacturers.
The government is proceeding on the
theory that prevention is better than
fighting. There are several other
agents stationed in Oregon and Cali
fornia.
One of the agents on the Sound
stated this week that 500 or 900 short
rifles were shipped West over the
Great Northern last October or No
vember, loaded aboard smuggling
schooner at Ballard and landed In
Hawaii, probably on Maui island,
Some of them, he said, were captured
at the time Of the January revolution
and the remainder are yet secreted in
the islands.
The agent who has been here bears
credentials signed by E. G. Hitchcock,
marshal Of the Hawiian republic, and
receives regular remittances from
Honolulu.

vAGRANTAssAULTs THE SHERIFF.

A man, who has since given his name
as John Anderson, was complained of as
a vagrant and making himself obnox-
ious at peoples houses where he had
called, and Sheriff Sulloway made a
point of looking for him. On Wednes-
day the sheriff met the man at the cor
ner of Eastern avenue and Cherry street
and attempted to arrest him and get
him into his wagon, whereupon the mar
struck Mr.. Sulloway heavy blow
knocking him down, after which he tool
to his heels and ran along Cherry street
The sheriff soon got on his feet and start
ed in pursuit, and the alarm being given
Others rushed to his assistance, and the
man was surrounded and captured.
Anderson is Swede about % years
of age and has powerful and muscular
frame. He has been seen about town foi
some days and his actions have been such
as to arouse fears in the timid His as
sault on the sheriff will likely cost him
dear. He is now in Jail awaiting trial.

was decorated with the Scotch thistle,
the suntlower and many varieties of
beautiful flowers, while poems either by
or about the Scotch and Irish writers
and also their photographs were to be
seen upon the tables. All the solos were
much enjoyed, especially those by Grace
Knight Robertson, whose beautiful voice
we wish we might hear oftener.

THE ST. JOHNsBURY COACH.

The st. Johnsbury House coach is at
tracing attention far and wide, so much
so that nearly every day tourists passing
through here take the trouble to get off
the cars to inspect the coach and busses.
1t is considered without any exception
the finest hotel coach outfit in all New
England. Mr. Chase has had extended
experience in this line and does not con-
slider the coach as fine an outfit as he had
in southern New Hampshire few years
ago, the four horses to which he sold for
$1650. Mr.. Chase is great admirer OF
good horses having owned several fast
road horses aud fancy matched pairs,
which he sold as high as $500.

THE LOST FOUND.

The old lady who was lost in the
woods at East st. Johnsbury last week,
was Mrs Honore Caraher and not Miss
Brown, as enormously stated. The
story of her wanderings runs as follows:
She had gone to look for the COWS in
the pasture, on Wednesday evening, Julv
81, and not finding them there she set
out for to search tor them and lost her
bearings. All night she wandered about,
being afraid to lie down for fear of
snakes. 1t was Thursday evening before
she found her way out OF the woods, and
she had not until that day heard of or
seen the men who were searching for her.
She was discovered by Herbert Moffatt,
William McCray's man, resting against
fence, in very weary and hungry con-
dition, with her clothes and shoes much
the worse for her experience. Consider
ing the fact that the night she was out
was very cold and rainy, and that Mrs.
Caraher is 73 years old, it is remarkable
that she suffered no more than natural
WEAKNESS and was able to be out on
Friday. The man who found her had
been lost while searching for the cows

A COOKING SCHOOL.

Miss Marion D. Patterson, who is a
graduate of the normalc class of the Bos-
ton cooking school, will hold class in
St Johnsbury for a week in connection
with the teachers institute, beginning on
August 18th, which will give the ladies
interested in domestic science an oppor-
tunlty to add to their proficiency as
purveyors of wholesome goodies. No
body has any objection to being well
fed, so there will probably be large
and interested attendance.
Miss Patterson is to give a demon,
stration lesson in domestic science before
the Woman's Club, which holds its
monthly meeting next Monday after
noon.

A CLOSE GAME.

The game between the Berlins and Vic
tors yesterday was well attended and
the game was such that no one went
away disappointed. At first it looked
like victory for the Victors, but in the
third inning the Berlins took the lead
and retained it through the game. At
the last inning, however, the Victors raj
lied, but hardly soon enough to win the
game.
The play that finished the game was
a fine double by Cordwell of the Berlins
There were only five hits made off Wild
er and seven hits off Hodgson, the Berlin
pitcher Both pitchers struck out IL in
the game. Graves made fine running
catch in the field. A great deal of excite
ment is manifest, and it the weather is
good the boys will be greeted with a
large crowd today.

DATES OF OUR FAIRS.

The officers of the fairs to be held at
Barton, Lyndonville and St. Johnsbury
next month met last Monday and agreed
on different dates for each of the exhib-
tons. The ST, Johnsbury fair comes
first on September 10, II and 10, The
fair at Lyndonville comes the third week
in September, the 18th and 18th, and the
Barton fair comes the last week in the
month, Sept, "a, 25 and 26. The officers
of the Barton fair decided to change their
date so as not to conflict with the ST.
Johnsbury fair, an act of courtesy which
the people of this section will not fail to
appreciate. The largest exhibitors of
the St. Johnsbury fair will reciprocate by
exhibiting at Barton, and it is believed
that the horsemen will trot their horses
at both fairs.

FAIR ATTRACTIONS.

One of the features Of the coming YER
mont and New Hampshire Interstate
Fair at White River Junction will be the
bicycle races. Four races with liberal
prizes have been arranged for. All wheel
men and Others interested in good racing
will enjoy treat. On Wednesday, Sept.
4th, there will be a one mile Novice Race,
open to those who have never taken a
prize in bicycle contest, also one mile
race open to all riders. On Thursday,
the 5th, there will be heat race, also
one for boys nnder eighteen. The track
will be in excellent shape and fast time
is expected.
The New England Fair will be held at
Portland, Me-, on August 27, 2S, % and
80, and it is the intention to have it
eclipse all previous exhibitions. The
management have been untring since
early in April in an endeavor to secure
not only the finest agricultural, horticul-
tural, and Horticultural exhibits to be had
but novelties of merit and interest. That
they have secured great special attract
ions is evident from their announcement
of bicycle races by John S.Johnson and
other noted wheelmen, a Mardi Gras flo
raj parade, coaching parade, telephone
concerts, electrical novelties, coast fish
cries and the Worlds Fair exhibits oi
New England birds and animals. The
North Atlantic Squadron will be in Port
land harbor during the week of the fair.
1t is probable that President Cleveland,
Vice-President Stevenson, Secretary ot
Agriculture Morton and Secretary OF the
Navy Herbert will attend. Special effort
will be made to draw from the large Ma.
sonic bodies in Boston the last week In
August. The sail down the coast should
prove treat to many from the west ant
south. Shriners of Minnea polls, welearn
