HUNTING FOR SITES.
Agricultural Committee Has Some Good Ones
Under Amusement.

Under Amusement.
The committee from the Worcester
Agricultural society, which was APP
pointed to recommend the investment
of money received from the sale Of the
fair grounds, has been looking up many
sites for new grounds, preparatory to
anaking a report at the society meeting
a week from today.
Yesterday surveyors measured land
at BARRIERS crossing, owned by Willie
B. Hall. The land is to the left of the
new Morgan spring works, and about
v Of a mile from the tracks of the
Fitchburg Railroad, about 81 miles
from Lincoln square. The books Of
the assessors give the extent Of land
as 18TH acres, and assess it for $780,
Besides the Hall property, the COM
snittee has considered the Shrewsbury
site on the Mason farm, n mile from
the eastern end of the causeway, near
the junction of the Shrewsbury road
and the old turnpike, 1t embraces
about so acres, and is very level. The
site in Boylston has also been looked
at, but it is so far from steam railroads
that it has not favorably impressed the
committee. The same is true of the
Burncoat site, situated between Clin-
ton lane and Clark street. The Hill
ton land. between Hamilton and Graf
ton streets, finds many who favor it.
1t contains 60 acres, and is near the
Boston and Albany tracks, and about
IL miles from Union station. The land
would require little grading, and is o.
SUCH quality as to make a fast tract

A TRIBUTE FROM PAXTON.
Rev. Or. Gould Was Beloved BY the Plain
Country Folk


Paxton, May 1.-THE death of Rev.
DR.. George H. Gould of Worcester was
deeply felt in this community, where
he has for more than a score of years
made his summer home All knew
of his somewhat protracted illness, and
vet all had fondly hoped he might be
spared and many years of usefulness
be his. He was, in some respects per-
haps, better known to this people thap
any other. He was known to all, and
was familiar and frank and free in all
his intercourse here, and was truly be-
loved by every one. His advice and
counsel was frequently sought anc
freely given, and was always wise anu
considerable. His sister lived and died
here, as did his mother, and these facts
early brought him in close relation to
all here. He loved the country and
country living and the plain people ana
manners that go with them, and while
he was we'll known to and was the peer
of any man in his profession or out OF
it, indeed his unusual gifts, his en-
larged and rare common sense and
mother wit made of him a conspicuous
ly marked man whether on the plat
form or in the private circle.
His physique was, as was his intel
lGCIudl SuQOMulCIlS, giant llAG anu lis
sunny smile and quick sympathies were
saintlike and his whole life and cnar-
acter among us Christlike His bene-
factions to- the church here and its de-
serving people were large and many.
He will be greatly missed and deeply
mourned and lamented by all. 1t does
,ot seem possible that he IS NOT to
me back to us each season with the
irds and flowers as he was wont 10 do
hese many years and scatter the sweet
fragrance of his noble life among us.
Among the many notabilities who
came to call and visit him these many
years here, none were so conspicuous
perhaps as his intimate and friend,
John B. Cough. Mr.. Cough, at the in
stance of DR.. Gould, gave several lee
lures here for the benefit of the church.
It was a citizen of this town, hlr.
Stratton, who first rescued Cough from
his downward course, and Mi. Cough
himself came to like this community
and these hills. 1t is asserted that NJ.
Cough gave his first temperance talk
in this town.
These greatly distinguished men, Dr.
Gould and Mr.. Cough, will be long and
affectionately remembered, not only oy
this community but by all the world
who were privileged to know them.

HOLE IN THE TANK.
Jupiter PIuvius Looked the Other Way and
the Plumbing Got Out Of Order.

While Jupiter Pluvius was looking the
other way yesterday. somebody banged
a hole in the celestial water tank and a
considerable quantity of his stock fell on
the oval, rendering it impossible for the
ball players to indulge in their antics
Before a plumber could stop the leak
the grounds were soaked more thoroughly
than the hero of Ten Nights in Bar
Room" and it was up to the captain Of
the Worcesters to say whether there
would be a game or not. When he dis
covered that he had no more boats than
Montojo after a morning with Dewey he
sagely concluded that the players earned
their salaries by putting in an appear
ance.
In a case like that, the Torontos got
what the Spaniards got out of Cuba after
the war. The Eastern League has rule
which says that no rain guarantee shall
be paid. Other leagues pay a portion Of
the regular guarantee, but the Eastern
paws nothing The visiting club stands
the loss. The rule works both ways, but
offers a good chance to managers to give
the visiting team the laugh under certain
conditions. However, there was. no kick
coming to the Torontos yesterday, and
everybody was satisfied.
