Al SUCCESSFUL OPENING.

The Northern Base Ball season was
opened most auspleiously Saturday after
noon with games at the Barre. Montpelier
park and at St. Adams, and now the league
is well started. The financial success Of
the league depends upon the crowds which
attend the games and the crowds depend
upon the quality Of base ball put up by
heplayers, and the indications point to a
successful season. Certainly the local
opening was most auspicIous. with very
large number Of people ia attendance and
with game which was full Of interest
from start to finish The local manage
ment cannot hope to have so large crowds
throughout the season as was present on
the opening day, but with judicous guild
ance the Barre-AIontpelier team ought to
be conducted so that there win be no de-
felt at the end of the season, There is
no better field for sport than that offered
BY the two cities Of Barre and Mont
pelier.
