stated that the Bellows Falls boys had
'.Charles Black, the we'll known profession
al of Nashua, N. H." for pitcher in the
recent game in that village. The pitcher
was Warn of Walpole, and none other.

At meeting of the Wheel club last
night it was voted not to accept Mr.. Dris-
lanes proposition tor new athletic park
on his premises. His terms are an annual
rental of $25, half mile track must be
laid out, the whole enclosed by fence,
and all completed by November next. 1t
was estimated that it would cost fully
$4,000 to put in the track and probably
$500 to fence. The club felt that this was
a bigger burden than it wanted to assume.

The Brattleboro Phoenix of last Friday
said
To-day is the first anniversary of the
starting of the electric railroad. The road
has been we'll patronized and has demon
strated that it meets an actual need. 1t
was supposed that three or four cars would
be all that would be necessary, but the
company has been obliged to increase its
equipment and now has eight cars, six Of
which are fully equipped. 1t has also
bought new $50 horsepower generator
and the Brattleboro Gas Light company
has put in $50 horsepower engine, which
will be ready for use to-day. A new con-
tract for power for the next two years has
been made and the company enters upon
its second year fully prepared to take care
of all the business that it may have. Fur
Their improvements in track extensions,
switches, guard rails and paving are con-
as it is the desire of the direct
ors to keep the property in a first class
and to serve the public in the
best manner possible"
