Great changes are being made in the
Maple Sugar Market TO increase the
amount OF store room and give better IA
cilities for carrying on the work OF the
establishment. The old store house has
been moved up and joined 10 the main
building, and an addition on the South
Pleasant street side, Il ~ feet, has been
built in between the two where the main
building, extending back on the east end
farther than the store house, left an open
space. This addition gives a large room
down stairs, opening out Of the work
room, and to be used az a packing room
and a shop for making boxes, while on It's
second door is storeroom. The old store
house opens now right cut Of the work
room, and the v hole thing Is under one
roof. The big basement, which these adj
ditions give, IS TO be cemented and be-
come a repository for maple syrup, there
being space enough TO store nearly 10000
tons.
Last Saturday at Travers Island, New
York, A. L. Newton won the American
steeple-chase championship by defeating
the worlds champian, George orion. AZ
ter running relay race Of four miles, and
running his mile in 4.30, Newton tackled
orion in the two-mile steeple-ehase race
and beat him by about POO yards. 1t Is the
first defeat orion has met with in this
event since he won 1t for the first time in
1888 Orion has won the English steeple-
chase three successive years and also the
worlds championship al Paris. This race
was run over a grass course OF two miles.
Each runner had to jump 81 hurdles 2 It.,
8 in. high, and twelve times had to clear a
water jump Il II. 8 in. wide. stub made
all his jumps with an artistic finish, but
orion went into the water several times
and the band would play saint dat
shame ?" Next Saturday, .'Stub" runs m
a special three-mile race against Jerry
Pierce, the Indian, each representing rival
clubs. They are the two fastest runners at
that distance.
The members Of the Green Mountain
band are considerably exercised over the
prolonged absence OF the custodian OF the
bands funds, Fred Rope, and a worri-
some lack OF knowledge concerning his
whereabo Mr.. Rope, who has been
treasurer OF the band Tor the last three
years, was considered a reliable citizen and
had the confidence OF the band. Since the
last election Of officers in June, the organ
lzation mas been trying TO conduct It's AZ
fairs in a business-like manner, and in
pursuance of that idea made some investi-
cations that revealed a few discrepancies
in the business managers and treasurer's
accounts for the year ending in June. Mr.
Rope claimed to have the orders which
would prove his account 10 be correct. but
before the band could focus its regard on
the treasurer's proof, he and the orders
disappeared around the vanishing point
and for ten days have not been located.
The bands loss, so far as is definitely
known, Is from so TO s33. Mrs. Rope
and her only child are living on Mill
street.
