immaculate Phoent1 presume to speak for
the godly people Of Montpelier and Barre?
How do the contemporary know that the
pious residents of the two cities are not re
membering the electric railway company in
their prayers? 1t is all sheer presumption,
ungodly hppancyy and We marvel that The
starched and garnished contemporary,
though he can do some pretty mean things
on occasion, should be guilty of so gratu-
tions an affront and SO unwarrantable an
assertion.

times, the game was fast from start To flu

were captained by DeColsines and Rogers
and the line mp was: Seguin and j. Ford,
Rogers and Smith, forwards DeColsnes
and Boyce centers; Brown and Jary, T.

from the field of play, Brown two, Seguin
