Mr.. Chapman said that there had been
no additions or Withdrawals of members
during the year, but that 36 members
had been suspended, leaving the present
membership between 40 and l5O. The
secretary's report was accepted and
adopted.
f. n. Blssell of East Shoreham, who
represented the Vermont association at
the meeting of the National Wool
Growers association in Washington
about the middle of December, made
brief verbal report. He had interviews,
he said, with Senator Morrill, and Con-
gresham Grout of this State and also with
Congressman Dingley of Maine, chairman
of the house ways and means committee.
The Vermont members were emphatic in
their declarations that as soon as posi-
bic Justice would be done the wool
growers. Mr.. Dingley favored 30 per
cent duty on all clothing wool, which
percentage would afford a tariff of 10 to
II cents pound on these woods at pres
ent prices in London. Mr.. Dingley felt
certain that there could be few abuses
under ad valorem duties, inasmuch as
the woods of chief consequence are sold
by auction in London and the whole
world can know what price they bring.
Mr.. Bissell was of the opinion that with
in reasonable time the friends of the
wool growers would succeed in securing
adequate duties on woods.
The election of officers followed.
These were chosen: President, c. +.
Abel of Orwell; vice presidents, j. j.
Crane of Bridport, Geo. II. Smith of Adj
Olson; secretary, Lewis A. Skitl OF Mid
dlebury; treasurer, F. II. Harrington of
Brandon; directors, Cyrus II. Smith of
Townline, Byron Smith of Addison, Ira
l.. Hambin of Cornwall, c. a. Chapman
of Ferrisburgh pedigree committee, f. n.
Bissell of East Shoreham, G. p. Crane of
Bridport, j.. I. Stickney of Shoreham.
Mr.. Skiff was nominated for secretary by
c. A. Chapman, the incumbent, who
stated that Mr.. Skiff had done large part
of the work latterly and had done it well
and that he himself did not longer care
for the office.
The secretary's salary was, after con-
siderable discussion, fixed at $500, the
same figure as last year, the secretary to
thought the salary should be S400.
Though the last year was the hardest in
the history of the association, more
money had come in during the present
month than during any January in four
years. II. G. Hibbard of Orwell agreed
with Mr.. Chapman's views and said he
thought the business of the association
would increase very largely during the
coming year. +. n. Bissel doubted
whether the income of the association

over last year. Since the prices also are
lower, it is believed that congressman

seeds as last year, and, In fact, enough
to employ about sixty mail cars and to

SPORTING WORLD.

The uncertainty of all things In base
ball was peculiarly exemplifed at Ade-
laide Park yesterday afternoon In the
two games between Providence and
Montreal. In the first the Grays batted
Pitcher McFarlan out of the box i'm the
middle OF an inning and they kept up
the bombardment on Pitcher Cannon,
who was substituted. until the crowd
grew weary of the ball pounding and
leather chasing. and the players wore
n hollow path around the diamond
scoring runs.
When the second game was started
and Mr.. McFarlan toed the slab for
another shy at the Grays, the bleach
critics asked for cushions and pillows
that they might have "a snooze until
the time when McFarlan should be
batted 10 the bench once more. They
had an idea the Grays would start
right i'm where they left off on his
pitching i'm the first game.
But McFarlan's work in the second
game kept them awake all right. He
not only shut the Grays out but he
held them down to three single hits
He did not allow base on balls. He
did not permit a single Providence man
10 go beyond first base. Only three OF
the Grays went as far as the first bag
in the whole game.
IL was the game of his life. He will
never pitch one to surpass IT, The spec
tators were sorely disappointed that
the Grays did not win both games.
But they all acknowledged that McFar-
Ian fully earned his victory. The
score:

real comedy merit.
In "Courted intuyCourt." Mr.. Mona lly
has succeeded in relating q coherent story

libretto. The plot is not of remarkable
depth but there is enough interest in II
to retain the attention OF the average
theatre -goer, and the ridiculous situa-
tions which attend its unraveling are, SO
excruciatingly funny. that the plot really
becomes a secondary consideration in
