Clinton. Dee. Saturday at Il
o'clock. if nothing happens. a trolley
car will run from This town over the
lines Of the new Worcester and Clin-
ton street railway TO Worcester thus

will meet at the car barn in West

officers of the road and their invited
guests wiz lunch at the Clinton house.
Among the guests invited is the mayor
and city government of Worcester the
town officials Of Clinton and West
Boylston, and the representatives of the
press.
The arrangements are only provision
al, but Treasurer Walter R. Dame said
this evening that they would probably
be carried out as they stand.
1t has been practically decided that
the fare between the cities shall be 20
cents. The arrangement for a trans
fer to the lines of the Leominster and
Clinton Company have not been per
fected, but probably will be so that
any person living in Clinton can go to
Worcester for the 20-cent fare. There
is now street railway communication
from Worcester straight through to
Fitchburg, with a fare for the entire
distance of approximately 40 cents. The
20-cent fare includes a ride to the Wor-
cester city hall, and a transfer TO lines
running anywhere within the city linn
its Of Worcester.

first premiums for the best pens ex-
hibited by q member Of the Clinton
Poultry Association were awarded to
Robert Lawrence, a was also the sec
ond special premium.
AS the judges were lamenting the fact
that there were no smallest eggs in
competition for the prize in this class,
an egg appeared that is the smallest

the show have ever seen laid by full
grown pullet out of the bantam class.
The egg was on a plale of larger eggs,
exhibited by Mr.. Lawrence. 1t is an
olive brown affair. The size is that of
a robin egg. Its contents would not
make mouthful for newborn in

be awarded.

thus far. He believes the receipts will
