last week he came into Charles Green's

DR.. Thomas ]. Garrigan, chairman of
the board of health, does not intend to
finish out his term on the board. He
informed The Spy reporter yesterday
that he will soon tender his resignation
as member. just when he will re-
sign, he does not know, but says that
he will do so as soon as he convenient
ly can; that is, after the present work
of lettering the system of drainage in
town is completed and other work
which the health officers are engaged in
is settled up. When asked why he in
tended to resign. Dr. Garrigan replied
that in the first place, he has had to
and that there is nothing to remuner-
the board. Moreover, that, instead of
thanks for the services rendered, abuse
is the reward generally given to town
ottlcials. DR.. Garrigan has proven an
efficient official, and has done a vast

Deputy Sheriff John P. Ranger. Will
fred W. HILL and E. Allen HARDWOOD,
| took their fast trotters to the track at
the LitcEfield stock farm this morning
ana INDUCED in some lively racing
There has been for long time a con-
| siderable amount of speculation as to
which of the three animals possessed
the most speed. So it was decided to
settle the argument today, but, as some
one truly remarked, it is hard to settle
on the respective merits of trotters, and
the test today was no exception to the
rule. Arson B. Poland, with his big
| tFotter Dick, went along and started in
the first heat but did not show quite
i speed enough to stay with the bunch.
and drew his horse.
/ 1t was agreed to settle the disputes
by the best two in three heats, and
Daisy R.. Sheriff Rangers fleet little
mare took the lead in the first, hard
pressed by Juno, Mr.. Harwoods big
bay, and Lady Goldrock, driven by
'iTobe" Hill. Mr.. Poland dropped out
and the race was between the three
other horses. Daisy R. maintained a
small lead and finished first in the drive
to the wire, Juno coming in second,
while Lady Goldrock, better known
i about town as Mamie Goat" encour-
aged by the war whoops Of Driver Hill,
was a good third, After giving the
horses a rub and rest, the drivers
! brought them up for the second heat.
i Daisy r. again went to the front, and
this time the Mamie Goat took sec
ond position. One Of tn wheels of Hills
Il sulky shot off and he was out of the
race, while Juno moved Up to second
and engaged the speedy mare driven by
4 the sheriff. But Daisy r. was going well
and Won the heat and the race The
Il first heat was gone in 2:31, and the sec
ond in 2:29. Mr.. Hill said this afternoon
4 that he hopes to arrange another race
Il for the same horses He has confidence
in Mamie Goats" ability and thinks
that the result might have been differ
ent but for the mishap in the second
heat. Trainer Titus of the stock farm
acted as starter, and some Of the other
employees took the time
Brooks Maxwell, Dexter Twiss and

The boys were emphatic in the state

i whoever gets the nomination fol
representative in this district from the

his influence to get portion of sta.e

i comes here who does not remark unor
/ the wretched condition of the highways
and this is not meant to cast any reflec-
ton upon Road Commissioner Stepher

and 1t is a fact that North Brookfield
has some of the poorest roads that car
