any such an amount? Give us their

tell us what citizen of Barre is respon-

GREAT RELAY RACES.
Yale's Great Showing Mt the Annual
Carnival In Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, May 1.-Yale carried
off the honors at the annual carnival OF
relay races held under the auspices OF
the University of Pennsylvania on
Franklin field, the wearers of the blue
winning the one mile, two mile and
four mile championship relay races.
Although Pennsylvania was disap-
pointed in the outcome of these events,
she is happy because one Of her men
now holds the American broad jump
record A. C. Kraenzein, who is also
the American champion hurdler. jump
ed "a feet 39 inches, breaking the
American record of 90 feet So inches.
held by Myer Prinstein of Syracuse uni
versity. The latter was also entered
in the event. but the best he could do
was to jump 23 feet 2R inches.
Over 5000 persons attended the car
nival Of sports. 1t was a great sue
cess, over so preparatory schools and
colleges being represented. The great
est race of the day was the one mile
college relay championship. There were
three teams entered in the event, Yale,
Pennsylvania and Chicago university
1t was most exciting contest between
the first two teams. Gleason of Yale
just beat out Cook of Pennsylvania in
the first quarter The runners in the
next quarter We're Luce of Yale and
Kraenzein of Pennsylvania. The lat
ter made up the ground lost by his
predecessor, but soon played out, and
when the third pair of men took up the
running Yale had a lead of 20 yards.
The final quarter was very exciting, the
spectators rising and yelling like mad.
The fleet Tewkesbury of Pennsylvania
by magnificent dash almost caught
Boardman, Yale's fourth runner. The
distance between them was too great
however, and the Yale man won the
quarter and the race by about ten
yards. The Chicago university men
could not stand the great pace and were
out of it after half mile had been run.
In the two mile and four mile relay
championships Yale's men got a good
lead early and won both events rather
easily. The one mile relay race between
Columbia, Cornell and Lafayette was
also good contest, the Columbia team
winning by small margin.

Rochester, May 1.-Captain Pulver
has received word that the men of the
Two Hundred and Second regiment will
receive additional pay upon applica ton
to the war department. The war de
partment issued an order upon the
proclamation of peace with Spain on
April II that all organizations of VOL
unteers that We're to be mustered out
after April II should be paid on a
peace footing. During the war the
men had been receiving pay on a war
basis. which was 20 per cent more than
the peace time footing. When the Two
Hundred and Second was mustered out
at Savannah on April Is, therefore, the
men were paid on a peace footing The
extra two months pay and travel eX-
penses were also computed on a peace
footing. Now that the war department
has reconsidered its determination the
men will receive their additional paw
upon application to the auditor of the
war department at Washington.
