ford. 1t may not generally be known
that as shown by the disbursements by
the state for recruits, it appears that
only the old and prosperous states of
Massachusetts, New York. Pennsyl Iva
mia and Virginia furnished more men
to the regular army than this young
commonwealth, which was half wild
erness. The society of the L d of
1872 is the youngest of the patriotic
societies. but none can point to more
rapid success. 1t is endowed with the
indomitable spirit that animated the
men whose glories the society perpet-
yates. The Vermont society is only
now in its infancy: yet she bids fair TO
grow to the stalwast proportions of her
older sisters. The president will be
pleased to give information regarding
the society to any one, who may be In
terested.
About 100 sports paid 81 apiece
to witness Mattey's Athletic exhibition
in Grange hall Tuesday evening, besides
few more Wheel Club lads that got q
free show through the scuttle from the
roof. Rather amusing are the emphatic
denials from good citizens being present
inspired by somebody's joke that
participants and spectators were both to
be prosecuted under the Vermont
statute against prize fights. Curb stone
jurists have been prolific Of argument
about the distinction between a prize
fight and a sparring exhibition, which
beauvier's Law Dictionary says cannot
be drawn by way Of legal definition
and depends on a variety Of circumsnces,
Certainly one of the participants was
knocked OUT to all appearances,
though it is claimed that his fall was
partly slip due to the fact that they
would not allow the floor to be resned.
The program opened with clog dancing
