The practice last night was very in
vigorating and it is expected that every
body will be in excellent condition fol
the game tonight which will be calle,
at Z 80 in ThohIa~i hall and that matte
about Colts revolvers and shot gum

SO we are to have len cent fares on
the electric railroad. These people
came into our midst about two years
AGO with the intention of lending last
iny benefit to the people of Barre an"
of making lighter the burdens Of oul
working people. They run competi-
ton against the suburban service OF th'
steam cars until the latter were Obliged
to decrease their service and raise ih
price of f,re. Having succeeded in that
our new acquisition now comes out after
having gotten rid of competition and de-
mands the eXhorbtant raise of fare &c
double the original amount but the ef
ticienry of the service has not been in
creased in proportion. We were once
Accommodated by Il five cent ride between
Barre and Montpelier, with plenty O
room in the cars for the patrons, now

The action of the Goddard Seminar,
base ball team in refusing to longt1
continue as member of the Vernon
Interscholastic league should be up
held by every fairminded citizen o.
friend of the school. Never was team
used more unfairly in the contests o
last year than the Goddards. They hat
the best team in the league, yet by TIT
unfair treatment in regard to the SEIZED
ulc of games, and in vari' us other mat
tiers the team was used in such wa,
as TO prevent their winning the cup
One of the teams of the league forfeited
several games IN order to prevent tn
Goddard team from winning the cup
These are only Il few of tine many com
plants that the Barre team has agains
the action of the league officers. Th
cup last year should have been left a
the Seminary, and the contest declared
a tie in justice to all the teams of tn
league. Bnt if the Goddard team i
not Il member of the league there i
every indica,i n that the base ball team
this year will be the best fitting schoo
