settled, which will probably be in few
days, work on tearing down the build
ings and grading the lot would be COM
merced.
"A great many local fishermen have
visited Caspian Lake at Greensboro and
some have made excellent catches
although all agree that it is too early
for the best fishing yet. A party con-
sisting OF F. G. Bundy, W. A. TapEn and
Frank D. Thompson returned Saturday
with As pounds Of trout, one of them, a
victim of Mr. Thompsons skill, weigh.
ing eight and three quarters pounds.
F. A. Carter caught an eight FOUNDER
Monday, but up to date the catches
do not compare with those made last
year.

The Academy team suffered two de.
feats at base ball the past week. Satur.
day, at Meriden, they were defeated by
Kimball Union Academy, with score
of % to 7. Monday afternoon the team
was defeated 6 to 0, by Montpelier Sem
mary, on the campus. The game was
an interesting one, but the Academy
team needs some good coaching ant
practice to put it in shape for the sea
sons work. The pitcher, Philip Thomp
son, is regarded as one of the mos
promising men the academy has had IL
years, and several Others show up wei
enough to warrant the belief that tbt
season may be successful one.
