THE BELLOWS FALLS NEWS

The New England Telegraph & Tele-
phone company have made a new
lease with V. G.. and G. r. Howard,
whereby from September LIST they will
occupy a suite of rooms directly over
the George B. Allbee plumbing store.
For many years they have occupied
rooms in the third story over the Har
riman barber shop. These have be-
come too small to accommodate their
rapidly increasing business, as well
as being so inaccessible in the third
story, and with narrow stairways. For
some months the company have expect
ed to have rooms in Union block, but
the recent decision of Mrs. King not
to rearrange the form of Union hall
precludes this.
It is always interesting to learn
what has become of a graduating
class, or what their plans are for the
future. Among the members of this
years class of the local high school
who have already found work are the
following; Mark r. Arnold will enter
the employ of one of the large western
railroads centering at st. Louis in
September in the auditing depart
ment; Eugene Cray is in the station
cry store of G. H. Williams, and Ar
thur Shaughnessey in the clothing
store of Goodnow Brothers and Pear
son in this place. Ernest McKinnon
will enter the cloak department of the
store of w. P. Chamberlain & Co. in
Keene next week, Miss Matte Rey-
nolds is at work in the Office Of the
Vermont Farm Machine Co., and Miss
Nancy Holland will enter Abbott Sem
mary next fall.
The base ball fever certainly has
gained possession Of Bellows Falls
and holds 1t fast. Inc number of
teams it would be almost impossible
to state, while to give a fair report Of
all the games would fill a newspaper
in itself. Among the games this week
were the following: Young Americans
8, Springfield 0, at BARRIERS park Sat
urday; Newport A. Bellows Falls (pro-
fessionals) 3. at Newport Saturday;
Bellows Falls Locals 10, Troy 0, at
Russell park Saturday; Saxtons river
81, Walpole /, at BARRIERS park We'd
nesday. The professional team decided
Saturday night to disband, as Bellows
Falls was too dead slow to know good
base ball when they saw it and to sup
port a good team. why" one en-
thusiast was heard to say, there
wont over three hundred come to a
game, and such ball as we are putting
up deserves to have 1000" The
Local" team will do its best to as
suage the grief over the loss of the
other team, however.
A party of about 40 Bellows Falls
people leave Monday on the flyer for
the Pan-American exposition at Buff
falo. The party is gotten up by ]. H.
Blakley, and that in itself insures it's
success. The route taken on the out
ward trip will be through Burlington,
the islands of Lake Champlain, thence
via Ogdensburg and Norwood, over the
New York Central to Buffalo. Four
days are given at Buffalo and the re-
turn trip will be by way of Clayton,
a steamer through the Thousand Is
lands, Ogdensburg. Montreal. and
! through the islands home. A Pullman
