effect that his club will come to
Cooperstown about June Doth to play
in a three days tournament, provid-
ing that arrangements can be made
with the different local clubs to partl-
cipate in the games. Binford will
probably go in and it is possible also
that Hannaford can be induced to en-

At a meeting of the Congregational
church held last Thursday evening it
was unanimously voted to go ahead
and build a parsonage right away.
Two sites have been selected for the
new building, the corner opposite G.

une and the corner opposite ]. G. Haz.
ards house on Lehman avenue.
Either one is good location and will
be satisfactory to the church. The
meeting was largely attended and the
the members were unanimously In
favor of going ahead with the new
parsonage.
