PHANTOM WINNER.
A. D. Fiske's Beagle
Ranks First in

WET WEATHER SPOILS MEET.
Scarcity of Some, Another
Drawback to Ok
ford Trials.

Oxford, Oct. 31.-The annual field
trials of the New England Beagle
Club were continued today. The days
work was done at Fort hill, but owing
to the raw, threatening weather, only
a small crowd of enthusiasts followed
the hounds.
The running in class A, for beagle
dogs, all ages, Is to 10 inches in height,
was concluded. Rabbits were hard to
find, and this scarcity of game made
the day dull one.
The judges, George B. Appleby and
j. NJ. Pully, gave their decision at
night awarding first prize to Phan-
tom, owned by A. D.. Fiske of Worces-
.er; second, to Baronet, an English
beagle imported and owned by Thos
Shallcross of Providence, R. l.; third
to Bellman, belonging to George f.
Reed of Barton, VT, and reserve to
HectorWood the property of the Rock
ridge kennels of Greenwich, CT.
The club was late in starting for the
hunting grounds, and it was S35 when
the first brace, Thomas ShaIcross'
Baronet, and George f. Reeds Bell
man, were ordered down by the judges.
They worked through a bushy field and
soon trailed to a start. The rabbit
led a merry race to a stone wall where
he sought shelter. Baronet marked
this game, and his owner, with the skill
born of long practice, soon had
bunny out and safely slowed away in
huntingcoat pocket. The beagles
were then ordered up. Both had done
nXpallpOt work
thought to be trifle the better.
The next brace was A. d. Fiske's
Phantom and Rockridge kennels Tick.
They had hardly settled down to work
when the rabbit which had been cap
tured escaped, and away went the bea-
giles in full cry on the hot trail. The
rabbit was driven to earth, and this
time escaped capture. The work Of
the hounds was so even that a second
chase was necessary to determine their
relative merits.
The third couple was John Caswell's
Blackwood and Thomas ShaIlcross'
Solo. Both hunted we'll. but when the
game was UP, Solo was an easy Win
ner. The hungry sportsmen adj
journed at lunch time to B. w. Morse's
barn, where Landlord Bacon had ready
for them a tempting spread
All the beagles entered in class A had
now come under the eyes of the judgas,
and they picked out six 20 run in the
down Rockridge kennels Hectorwood
and Mr.. Fiske's Phantom. They ran
a pretty race, In full view of all. Phan-
tom led throughout and easily won.
If tomorrow is pleasant, the day will
be devoted to the running of the
Hampstead stake. This is an all-day
race, and great sport is expected.

BANK DIRECTORS MEET.
Resolutions Adopted on the Death of
Frank E. Haywood.

Resolutiont Adopted on the Death of
Frank E. Haywood.
The directors of the Citizens Ma
tional Bank met yesterday afternoon
and adopted the following resolutions
on the death of Frank E. Haywood:
The Giver and Taker of human life
has. for some reason incomprehensible
to us, removed our fellow director,
Frank E. Haywood.
Although we do not question the
wisdom of this act of Almighty God,
we none the less regret that it has been
necessary to take away from his cares
and responsibilities so true friend, so
honest defender of right men and
principles, and so helpful a citizen in
the broadcast and best sense.
Words Of ours can but feebly express
our kind thought for his sorrowing
family, yet we grasp even such INSULT
cient means of extending to them an
assurance of our heartfelt sympathy in
their great loss.
Voted, that the foregoing expression
of the board of directors of the Cit
liens National Bank be embodied in
our records and that copy of the
same be transmitted by our clerk to
the family of Mr. Haywood.

THE BANNER MONTH.
Post Office Receipts for October Are
Ahead of Any Month in Worcester.


October was a banner month at the
Worcester post office. The receipts from
sales of stamps, postal cards, ETC.,
amounted to $21,52457, the largest
months sales since establishment of
the office. The sales for the cores
ponding month year ago were ST.
64O.S6, showing a gain of about 81 per
cent.
The heaviest months are usually De-
cember January and March, and up
to this time the sales for March, 1899,
held the record. The amount taken dur
ing this month was $40, 1876. Postmas-
ter j. Evarts Greene gives as the rea-
son for the increase the general activ-
ity in business, which pervades the
community at present, as there has
been no individual sale that would af-
feet the amount materially.
