on the Russell park grounds yesterday
morning at $50 with the result Of a
score of Is to in favor Of the alumni.
This is not to be wondered at when the
average weight of the alumni is con-
sidered in comparison with that of the
High school boys. The result might
have been different had the Alumni"
confined their team to graduates of
the school more closely.

Vermont Postal Receipts.

The postoffice receipts of the Green
Mountain state fell OF remarkably dur
ing the fiscal year, something rather I'M
usual for a year of such unexampled
prosperity, says a special to the Burling-
ton Free Press. Generally business pros
perity means increase in the amount Of
money paid out for postage stamps and
mail material. There are As postoffices of
the presidential class in Vermont and
the statement of the auditor for the post
Office department, just made public, COW
ering the fiscal year ending June 80 1901,
shows that the gross receipts of those As
presidential offices were $500, 091.97 The
previous fiscal year Vermonters paid out
for postage at these same presidential
offices, $426917.s1. The gross receipts Of
the last fiscal year slumped even below
the gross receipts for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1899, when they amounted
to $403 1852.
Free delivery in cities is also getting
to be a large item in Vermont as there
are now nine towns and cities in the
state with those facilities, which cost

house, 40 coming here from Brattle-

curtain raiser was between two local
boys, three rounds with soft gloves,
honors being about even. Three
rounds were then boxed by Billy Ma.

Higgins of Keene, the well-known base
ball player. Mahoney was easily the
victor. The great attraction was bill
ed as a 15-round bout between Jack
Hamilton of Troy, N. Y, and Eddie
Quinn of Brattleboro formerly of
Brooklyn. Quinn had the advantage
for the first six rounds, but Hamilton's
superior condition began to tell after
that and he forced matters, and soon
had the Brattleboro boy going. In the
eleventh round Referee Murphy of
Westfield, Mass, called the contest
over to avoid knockout and awarded
the decision to Hamilton. The referee
stated privately that Quinn was the
more scientific boxer. Quinn was COM
pletely exhausted while Hamilton was
in good condition. ]. NJ. Byrnes was

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Barber Park Saw Mill and Tim
Der Land Sold.

Important improvements in the TeIe-
phone Exchange-Alarm over the
Small Pox Case.
Ell. Walker last week sold the Bar
Der park saw mill, together with the
timber land owned by Mr.. Walker in
the towns of Rockingham, Westmins-
ter, and Athens, to Charles r. Holden
IT., of Rutland. Mr.. Holden is an eX-
perienced lumber dealer, and will con-
tinue the mill in its present location
until spring, when it will probably be
moved to some other point. This mill
was built a year ago this fall and in
that time has been run almost contin-
uously at its full capacity. The timber
has been cut in the woods directly east
of the park. and also been brought in
teams from beyond SaXtons River.
About one million feet Of lumber has
already been taken away by the cleo
trio road and the daily shipment over
that line is now about carload. NO
more timber will probably be cut from
the neighborhood of the park, the win
ter being spent in cutting up what
already lies on the ground at the mill,
and in cutting that brought by team
from farther up the river.
The local exchange of the New
England Telephone and Telegraph
company is this week well settled
in new quarters on the second floor of
Howard block. The rooms are larger
and much better arranged than the
old ones were, and the new switch
board is of the most modern pattern,
capable of handling the present num-
Der of lines in town with ease and
of giving good service to the patrons.
Many changes have been made in the
lines and numbers of the different
private telephones throughout the vii
iage, relieving many over-crowded
lines The many changes in the To-
cal service in the past year have given
us now a finely equipped exchange
in every respect and much credit is
due the local manager, c. H. Burr, for
the improvements.
