NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
ClaremOnVs New Town House Dedi-
Gated.

Gated.
The new town house at Claremont,
which was built at a cost of $4,000, was
dedicated Tuesday. The exercises in
cluded an address of welcome by Hosea
| W. Parker, presentation of keys by Burt
Chellis, chairman of the building COM
mittee; historical address, "The Meeting
House Idea," by Charles b. Spofford, and
addresses by Rev. o. G. Sargent and Dr.
o. b. Way.
The building was designed by Charles
b. Rich, New York architect, and was
built by H. b. Beckwith of Claremont.
Work was begun last October, and the
building was used for the first time last
March at the annual town meeting.
The basement of the building contains
the heating apparatus and the engine
room, a kitchen and toilet rooms, besides
the electric lighting plant. The ground
floor is entered by broad entrance into
the hall, off which is the assembly hall,
Go by SO and IL feet high, seating capacity
| 700. The town offices are in the west
front, on the vestibule level. There are
large offices for the town selectmen and
for the town clerk, with vaults in each,
and private offices. These are remark
ably pleasant rooms, commanding with
south over the business centre of the
town.
From the entrance hall two broad and
easy staircases lead to the opera hall, or
auditorium, on the second floor. Here is
one of the best appointed places for
amusement in the state. Comfortable
opera chairs afford seating capacity for
66l on the main floor, and for 321 in the
gallery, or 9S2 in all. The stage is 26 feet
deep and ~ feet wide.
Above all rises the handsome tower,
with the clock. On each floor will be
found convenient waiting and dressing
rooms, private offices and wonderful at
tenton to detail that will surely show the
public that both architect and builder were
wisely chosen.
The foundation of the building is of
Green Mountain rock. The base is of
dressed Connecticut brownstone, in
courses. The building is of Lebanon
brick, nearly 100000 being laid. The
corners and frieze beneath the copper
cornice are of Massachusetts, pressed brick.

CatamOunt Tavern Monument.
Part OF "A Plan to Mark all Historical
Spots at Remington.

Part OF a Plan to Mark all Historical
Spots at Bennington.
The annual sessions of the department
of Vermont of the Grand Army and Wom-
ans Relief corps were continued at Ben
nington Wednesday. The next conven-
ton probably will be held at st. Adams.
The dedication of the Catamount tavern
monument took place at Bennington Cen
tire in the afternoon. The principal ad-
dress was made by Frederick Jennings of
New York, who, on behalf of the subscrib-
ers, presented the monument to the Ben
nington Battle Monument and Historical
society.
The monument is erected on the site of
the Catamount tavern, hostelry famous
for number of years preceding and dur
ing the Revolution. 1t was built in 1867,
and destroyed by fire in 1871. The tavern
was the headquarters of Col. Ethan Allen
and the Green Mountain boys during the
long and bitter controversy between the
settlers Of the Hampshire grants" as Yer
mont was then called, and the New York
authorities. Feeling ran high and all Yer
mont was intlamed. 1t was during this time
that the settlers placed stuffed catamount
over the swinging sign of the tavern, grin
ming defiance TO the New York land claim
ants, from which the tavern took its name.
In August, l777, the tavern was the seat
of the famous council of safety, the only
government that the state of Vermont had
at that time. The hotel was also the head
quarters of Gen. John Stark at the battle
of Bennington.
The monument consists of highly pol
ished granite pedestal seven feet high,
weighing nine tons, surmounted by large
brass figure of a catamount. On the pc
destal is this inscription; "Site of the Cata-
mount tavern, 1861" The funds for this
work were practically all subscribed by citi-
zens of Bennington. The marking of the
site of the Catamount tavern is a part of
the scheme to mark all of the many his
torical spots at Bennington.

so much to superior playing, but rather to tho
weakness Of the Bowdoln eleven. Each eleven
played lively ball from beginning to end. Fun

The tandem plays led by Beef" Wheeler
proved q factor, though Wheeler was altogether
too slow to carry them out. Houghton showed
up rather poorly. Hc missed two easy goals from
the field, as we'll as ono after a touchdown.
Burnett, the heavy weight freshman, was tried
at ccntro and found wanting. He was easy
prey for Spear, the Bowdoin centre. Mills
