Lovers of sharp baseball playing were |
more than pleased with the game that was
put up last Thursday afternoon on Central
Park between the st. Adams League
team and the Barre Rushers. The st. AL
bans won by score of to but the Barre
team played game OF which they had no
reason to be ashamed.
The members of the Barre fire department
| who attended the tournament at Vergennes
| last week, were crippled in the hand en-
| CINE contest by the breaking Of their ma
chine. A protest was entered in the rum
| ming races against teams having men who
were not members of the winning COM
panies. II this protest stands, as it should,
third money will be given the Barre boys.

Charles H. Stone and Miss Mary E.
Clark, members of the faculty Of Goddard
Seminary, were married at the seminary
last Thursday afternoon by Rev. b. W.
Jones. The students at the seminary had
prepared to give the newly-married couple
| a lively send off at the station, but the bride
| and groom took suburban train for Mont
| pelier and the students have several pounds
| of rice on hand that they would dispose of
| at low price.
AT the meeting of the Young Peoples As
sociation OF the First Presbyterian church,
| held in the vestry last Thursday evening,
the question, " Resolved that the continued
introduction OF labor saving machinery is
| prejudcial to the interests of the working
man." was discussed by Thomas Milne in
the affirmative and Miss Kate McIver in the
na0atiUp nnaatinn xuua han lad
both by the regular disputants and by vol
unteers. A vote of the audience gave the
question to the negative by a large majority.
The Barre Rushers suffered an inglorious
defeat last Saturday afternoon at the hands
of team of school boys from St. Johns
bury. Before the game was called the
management of the Barre Rushers was
criticised for arranging game with team
OF kids, but before the end of the second
inning they found to their sorrow that the
lads could play ball with the best OF them.
The score was ten to six in favor of st.
Johnsbury. The game was called at the
end OF the eighth inning to allow the St.
Johnsbury team to get train.
Complaint has been made that Charles G.
Varney, who was employed by the Board of
Aldermen to attend to the matter of num-
bering the houses in Barre, preparatory to
free delivery of mail, refuses to give people
any information on the subject unless he is
employed to put the figures on the houses.
III such complaint is well founded the soon
er the Board relegates Mr.. Varney to private
life the better it will be for all concerned.
tits intimated however, that the Board OF
Aldermen had no idea that Mr. Varney
would pursue such course, when they
gave him the work to do.
Because of MISUNDERSTANDING and I'M
pleasant feelings that have existed between
the granite manufacturers and wholesale
dealers, the Manufacturers and Wholesale
Dealers Protective Association of New
England has voted to wind up its affairs
and go out of business July |. The men,
bers of this association are located mostly
in Quincy and Boston, Mass, and in Barre.
A new association will, it is thought, be at
once formed which will include all the
granite manufacturers of the United States.
, 1t is expected that the wholesale men will
be excluded from this associAt alton and that
the manufacturers will work entirely indie
pendent of them.
