As enjoyable celebration, for those
who happened to see it, was parade of
antiques and horribles on Summer street.
The paraders ranged in age from four to
seven years, and in gorgeousness of APP

beat drum. The Goddess of Liberty

Gov. Woodbury. vs.. Herald.

The arguments in the Woodbury. vs.
Rutland Herald libel suit, have been far
more voluminous than the public have any
idea of.
The opening argument for the plaintiff,
which was submitted to the counsel for the
defendant, contained 80 pages of type
written matter of the ordinary sized sheets
used by typewriters.
The argument for the defence was also
type written but was on large sheets Of
fooscap and contained 81 pages, one of
which would be about as large as two of
the plaintiffs sheets. which would make
the argument of the defence about as vol
luminous as the opening argument Of the
plaintiff.
The rebuttal or closing argument for the
plaintiff, occupied space of 55 pages of
type written matter, the same size as the
former sheet making in all 145 pages for
plaintiff.
Although the public were under the i'm
preston that the case had been submitted
to the arbitrators several weeks ago, the
arguments were only finished and the case
submitted this week.
The delay was due to the fact that the
attorneys for the defence were SO occupied
that they took nearly five weeks to prepare
their argument 1t is impossible to say
when the arbitrator will be able to render
their verdict.

The association was supported by
monthly fees and voluntary subscrip-
lions. but ere many months had passed
it was found impossible by the man
