on in 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1882, Mr..
Hardie returned to America in 1883 and
applied himself assiduously 10 his work
for several years. exhibiting for the
first time in this country at the Ma
tional Academy of Design in 1883 and
later at the Columbian exposition in
Chicago in 1898
Mr. Hardies artistic talent was
solely in the line of portrait painting
and much of his work ranks with
the best that the country has ever
produced His first prominent portrait
was that of Hon. David Dudley Field,
painted in 1883 and now in the capitol
at Albany, N. Y. Another Of his sue
cessful pictures is that of his first wife,
now in the Corcoran art gallery at
Washington. Among the distinguished
men that Mr.. Hardle had painted were
President Elliot of Harvard university,
BENJAMIN H. Bristow Senator Red
field Proctor, besides several represen-
tatives and state governors. About
one year ago ne completed picture OF
George Washington in Masonic regalia,
which was presented to the Grand Ma

Edward was master, last summer. on
~ last week Mr.. Hardie delivered a
portrait to prominent Holyoke.
Mass, resident. A good specimen of
his work is the portrait of the late
George j. Brooks, in the reading room
of the Brooks Free Library.
In 1884 Mr.. Hardie married Gather
inc, second daughter of United states
Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom of Illinois.
She died in 1894 In October 1899 he
married Amy Sigourney Stone, daugh-
ter of DR.. Robert and Margaret Towns
bend Stone. She died last Wednesday,
leaving an infant son born the Sunday
previous.
With the exception of his life abroad
Mr.. Hardie had lived all of the time in
Brattleboro at his handsome residence
on Canal street He was member of
the society of American Artists and
captain and chief of staff of the Albany
Burgesses corps, one of the oldest mill
tary organizations in the country. AT
one time was was captain of Brat
tleboro military company.

THE EASIEST THING YET.
Brattleboro Defeats the Turner's Falls
Team 37-4.

The regularity with which the To-
cal Y. M. C. A. basketball team wipes
the floor with it's competitors is begin
ming to become monotonous, Last sat
urday evening it was the Father Mat
thew team from Turner's FANS, Mass
that was the easy mark, the easiest,
indeed, that has been seen here this
season. From the very beginning II
was a cinch for the Brattleboro play
ers, and when they had finished the
visitors looked like 20 cents in coun-
terfeit money. The score was S7-4;
which in itself is very nearly descrip-
ton enough, although there are a few
features that might be mentioned.
The most important of these is the
excellent work Of Charles Stolte VINO
took the place of March ut forward
the latter being out of the game on ac-
count of a slight injury. Stolte sig
nalized his debut by breaking the sea-
sons record for the number or goals
thrown in a game by one player, Gag
ing the ball 10 times, five in each half'
He not only was accurate In shooting,
but he played very fast game without
doing any needless fouling. If Stolte
can keep up the gait he has started, his
place on the Y. NJ. c. A. team would
seem assured, Ellis also played much
better game than he has put up before
this season, being less inclined to
spectacular work and more accurate in
his goal throwing.
Howe, Ferriter and Stafford were al
so in the game, although the last
named player was not so much in evil
dence in goal making as he was last
week. On the whole the team appeared
to be the strongest that the y Nj. &. A.
has placed on the floor this year, al
though this appearance of unusual
strength may have been due in part to
the inferiority of the visitors who We're
completely outclassed from start TO
finish. The game, however, was far too
one sided to please the crowd which
by the way seems to be diminishing
with each game and there was less en-
thusiasm than ever.
The game between the Y NJ. c. y.
second team and Co. | five furnished
the excitement of the evening, and
when the latter finally won there was
plenty of applause. The score at the
end of the first was ~, and at the end
of the second 1913, Stevens, Mickey
and Guiheen We're strong factors IN
winning the game for the soldiers,
while D. Stafford and HARDWOOD did the
most in trying to stave off defeat for
their side The summary.

ORGANIZATION is COMPLETED.
BrattIeboro Athletic Association Elect
ed Officers Tuesday.

About 100 men and boys attended the
meeting in the High school room Tues
day evening for the purpose
of choosing officers for the Brat
tleboro Athletic association, which
was formed last week. The
meeting was called to order by
W. A. Gilbert who was made tenn
porary clerk, and II. X. Whitaker was
chosen chairman. The constitution of
the association was then read and Mr.
Whitaker called for expressions of
opinion. Rev. R. X. Marvin was heart
lily in favor of the scheme and said that
he approved highly the broad scope of
the constitution. d. f. Tasker men
toned some of the drawbacks which
the boys of the town have experienced
in the past in getting suitable places
to carry on athletic sports, and said
that he hoped an athletic field would
soon be one of the possessions of the
new organization. NJ. Austin, jr, said
that he would be in favor of profess
sional sport if Brattleboro were large
enough but as that was out of the
question he believed it to be for the
best interests of all local sports to have
them conducted under one head. G.
L. Stickney in behalf of the committee
appointed last week then presented
the following list of.officers which was
unanimously elected: President George
L. Durham; secretary and treasurer,
L. Guy Tasker; executive committee,
HI. K. whitaker J. A. Dunieavy and
E. w. Gibson; trustee. NJ. ]. Moran.

Notes on Sports.

The Concord N H., baseball team
with which Louis l. Allen has signed
for the coming season, may possibly be
transferred to Lynn or Worcester,
Mass, negotiations between these cities
having been pending this week.
E. J. Fenton & Co have this week
delivered new suits to the Y. M. G. A.
basketball team. The suits consist of
extra heavy white sweaters, white Jer-
seys with a raised white, old English
IL on front, red stockings and the regu-
lation suction sole shoes.
The Y. M. c. A. second team play
Hinsdale N. H., five last Friday even
ing and won the contest by score of
1914. The game was said to be the
cleanest and most interesting that has
been seen in Hinsdale this season.
The University of Vermont basket
ball team will appear against the Y.
M. c. A. team here Wednesday even
ing. Last year the local five narrowly
escaped losing to the collegians, and 1t
is said that this years team is COM
posed of very nearly the same players.
The Y. M. C. A. basketball team
leaves this morning for Fort Edward,
N. Y, where it will play against the
team of that city tonight. Tomorrow
evening it will play the same aggrega-
ton at Saratoga Springs. The Fort
Edward team is exceedingly fast, hav-
ing defeated the crack Holyoke High
school team and other speedy fives.
George Schildmiler of Andover must
have taught the Leland &. Gray team
considerable about the game of basket
ball during his Christmas vacation.
The Townshendites defeated the Yer
mont Academy aggregation at Saxtons
River Monday afternoon. March of the
local Y. NJ C. A. team refereed the
contest in which a good deal of rough
playing appeared, two players being
disqualified for trying to settle a dis
pute by blows.
Ferriter and March who went to Hol-
yoke, Mass, last Friday morning to
! try their luck on the professional bas-
ketball team representing that city, re-
turned to Brattleboro Saturday morn
ing. March, who played under the
name of MaCabe, was given 10 min
utes' trial in the first half of the con-
test but was retired after his oppon-
ent had scored three floor baskets and
March himself had made. three fouls
Ferriter was not given trial at ALL
The Springfield papers were decidedly
sarcastic in their mention of the Brat
tleboro players, the Union desig-
mating them by the name of farmers
and saying that while they might be
fairly good association players they
would never make a success at profess
sional basket ball. In fairness to Fer
ritter and March it ought to be said
that they were entirely new to the
rules governing the professional game
Indeed it does not seem as if they were
given a fair show. The latter was al
lowed only 10 minutes in which to
show his ability, while the former, who
has had much more experience at the
game and is considered by many a
faster man, was not tried at all.

THE IMPERIAL CHINESE POST.

A lady of the China inland mission at Taikang, in the central province of Honan, in a letter % her family has some amusing things to tell about the establishment of the Chinese imperial post in the province, which is some weeks journey from the coast. She says:
 We have got tho Chinese imperial post here now. At Kaifeng when they first got it the postcffice clerks had a hSh- with some men who bought stamps and wanted the clerks to lick them and put them on the letters for them. They said the clerks were there to lick the stamps and paid for the business, and they wouldn't lick them. But the clerks wouldn't agree to lick them, so they came to blows, and the police had to come in and separate them.
 Here at Taikang the man who has got the postoffice has begun well. Har- ry was in his shop when the first GUS toner came for stamp. 1t took him nearly five minutes to find the key and get the stamp box open, and when he gave it to the man he said in a very decided way: Now lick it and put it JNob bhCl c. ne customer was IOOllSh Cor wise) enough to do so, and now a custom has been established in Taikang that all purchasers of stamps must lick them and stick them on. There was a great row at the Kaifeng postofIice one day because an address on a letter could not be foun@ and the letter was brought back.
 "The sender wanted his money back because the letter had not been deliv- cred, but the clerks refusd to giv it to him, contending that they had had more trouble over it than if it had been delivered. Another man was de- termined to get the postoffice clerks in- to trcIble because he haG sent a let ter some time ago and received no an- swer. This was clear proof, he said, that the letter had never been sent. The service here is somewhat irregu- lar yet'-; ,ondOn Daily News.

RECOVERY
A Man Through Whose Brain a Bulle
 Flowed.

Newark, N. J., Aug. 5.-Almost recov- cred from a bullet-hole through the brain, Frederick Beck, who tried to kill himself on July II, will be dis charged from the city hospital in few days. The bullet entered the right temple and, passing through the brain, was found just under the skin ar inch and half below the left temple. When the bullet was taken out part of the brain followed it.
 Almost as remarkable as Becks re- covery is the fact that none of his senses nor Lis intellectual capacity has been affected in the slightest de- gree. He is as sound as ever except for a little weakness. Such q wound as Beck's usually causes instant death and when in rare instances the patient does recover, his sight or hearing CT some other sense is almost invariably affected
