Sutton, April 1S.-Over 200 attended the
meeting of the Pomona Grange and the
Oxford Agricultural Society yesterday. In
the morning A. A. Hixon of Worcester
spoke on the cultivation of flowers, fruits
and vegetables. The afternoon session
was opened by John J. Allen of Auburn,
and he introduced Prof. A. A. Brigham,
who delivered a lecture on Japan"
The public schools in the centre closed
so that the pupils could hear this 'ad
dress. 1t was well illustrated with stere
opticon views, and gave a good view of
Japanese life. After this lecture the SUIT
ton Grange gave farce, Thirty Minutes
for Refreshments" A trio consisting of
Mrs. Frank Slayton, Mrs. H. L. Ray and
Miss Flora Holbrook sang two selections.
At the beginning of the afternoon ses-
sion a fire which threatened to be serious
broke out in one of the registers. The
audience made no commotion, and the
fire was easily eXtinguished. 1t was
caused by the igniting of dust in the reg
lister.

to speak Of making the schedule was
the fact that only II few lights after
this the same train left here on time

day, taking nine hours to run SO miles

to be hauled than could be pull and
the engineer had to double over every

more passengers. The schedule is al
