Perry Adams has bought OF w. Q. Dan
forth the bay fiIly, Mollie b, by Brad
laugh, dam By Kent $500, grand dam by

Gen. Mccullough has declined the GU

Rev. F. A. Reed commenced bis labors
as pastor OF the Universalist church last

after which holy communion Was OBJ
served. The church was Hastily trimmed

tulips and hyaciuths, contributed by Mrs.
5. b. Aikens, were especially beautiful.
1t seems to be settled fact that Rev. @.
A. Emery, pastor OF the M. K. church, de-
clines to remain in Barnard another year.
This is to be regretted for the conference
will hardly send another so able a man.
Mr.. Emery has attended nearly every fu-
neral held In town for the past two years,
and given good satisfaction to all denomi
nations.
A rumor lie quite current that South Roy
alton horsemen are engaged in trying to
resurrect their old driving club and hold
meeting In June. The Central Breed
ers' association having sold out its track
and buildings, will OF course go out of ex
istence, leaving an opening that should
be filled. South Royaltun has the right
location and one of the best tracks In the
state. Her old horsemen are well rested
from former vexatious troubles, and with
some new blood enlisted, 1t must now
prove success. A letter from Boston
horse dealer says that South Royalton Is
the best point in Vermont to buy horses
Woodstock not only has a courthouse
and jail but good trotting course and
horsemen galore. Certainly they can
show some elegant teams and the way
they spin through the streets, up around
the park and down past the big hotel looks
to an outsider as though they were way
to the front in the speed line. Tom White
thinks there is deal OF wind in the shire
town and has an itching to pinch the
bladder. So he comes out In print stating
that he will match bis PAGER against any
horse in Woodstock, for 500 side, at
w bite River Junction as soon as the track
is in order. This was for time like a par.
alytic shock. There had been 40 trouble
in beating Tom around the park, but
race at the kite track, with two hundred
dollars up, was quite different matter
Henry Simser, who has a good horee in
George b., and knows how to drive him,
tires in cross bill offering to match Toms
PAGER June LIST for $50 side over Wood
stock track. Henry, not liking the cam
paign last fall, says he would rather be
beaten here than away from home; but
before 4. j. White could pull himself to-
gether Will Osmer woke up with Anna K
Although she had been asleep 1--WE months
and not harnessed since last November,
yet he would match her with the PAGER
over the Junction track or any other Mr..
White may select at any time after July l.
Having more horses than money, he will
put horse against horse Notwithstanding
Anna X. is one OF the most valuable mares
in the county,, the winner to take horse,
harness, sulky and whip. Tom had not
quite recovered from the Simser blow and
this last was complete Knockout. Prob
ably there will be no more diplomacy I'M
til after the roads are worked.
TRoTTING RULES MAY BE CHANGED.
A special meeting of the Board of Re
view OF the National Trotting association
will be held in New York Monday, April
