A DAY OF SPORT.
Conditions for Brunswick Fur
Club Were Excellent.
Two Foxes Were Killed, But One Was
Shot by Local Sportsman SOME
Exciting Driving.
Especial Dispatch to the spy)

Especial Dispatch to the Spy)
Barre, Jan. 19-The Brunswick Fur
Club is well pleased at the result of its
hunt today. In spite OF the weather in
dications, which were unfavorable early
in the morning, the members left Hotel
Barre at Z O'clock They struck first into
land a mile north of the village, where
fox was started five minutes after ar
rival
The hounds made an exciting run. The
fox proved to be unusually wary, but
the hounds did not get a good scent at
the start. Then the weather moderated
a little, and the tracks became very dis
tinct. For two hours, over hill and dale
the chase continued, in q southerly d1-
rection At the end of this time the fox
was driven within range Of local
hunter, by whom he was shot, much to
the chagrin of the club members.
After the hounds were brought back
another fox was started in the morning;
and in this chase occurred some OF the
best driving the club has ever enjoyed.
Again the chase lasted for two hours,
and at times excitement was intense.
Here and there went the hounds in full
chase, and the hunters were ever on the
alert. At p. m. S. William, Jr., OF
Baldwfnville, had the pleasure of bring
ing the fox down. Tonight his skin
adorns the hotel office.
By this time the men were tired and
dinner was taken at a nearby farm
house. After dinner, and on the way to
the hotel, another fox was started.
There was another tWo-hour pursuit,
within half a mile Of the village; and
driving continued till dark, when the
dogs were called off and the party came
in.
The temperature has moderated, and
there are prospects of light snow. The
atmosphere was remarkably clear to-
day, light sounds being heard at con-
siderable distances.
Half a dozen more hunters arrived to-
day, and they anticipate some satlsrac-
tory events tomorrow.

Contribute to Monument.
The action taken by Division 10, A. o.
H., at it's meeting Tuesday evening. in
voting to contribute the sum of $25 toward
the soldiers monument is worthy of spe-
cial commentator, and such action taken
by other societies in town would doubt
less be appreciated by those who ere try
ing to raise the necessary funds.
Similar action will doubtless be taken by
the Sons of Veterans, as the matter has
been discussed by many Of the members,
While no formal action has been taken.
There Is probably not a secret society In
town but has members whose fathers or
try, and to them a suitable monument
would be a fitting tribute. The A. o. H.
has set good example to it's sister so
cietles, and 1t Is hoped that others viii
profit by their thoughtfulness.

continues, although there is an effort
now being made looking to a com
promise and it may be possible that
we shall hear at the close of this
month that work has been resumed
in those collieries which are now idle.
The latest advices are that coal can
be had at about 1925 to $3.50 per ton
at Cardiff; and it is this high price
which gives the opportunity for the
shipment of American coal abroad
and some little business is being done
in that direction to Cape Town, the
Cape Nerdes and South America.
