Editor Of The Times At various
times in the last few months different

month or two previous, but with the
exception Of Mr.. John Roberts Of South

Of record that amounts to anything
Most people brag about their hens for
a month or two, and are grayely silent

year. Mr. Roberts, however, gave a
full account in The Times short time

Wyandotte hens. His average egg pro-
duction for the year being 1863 eggs per

GAME FORFEITED
TO GODDARD TEAM
Montpelier Seminary Refused to Play
Because They Could Not Have
Both Referee and Umpire.

The game advertised to be played last
evening between Goddard and Montpel
ier seminaries did not come off, and
the officials pronounced it Goddard's
game, 2 to o.
1t happened in this way. The Mont
pelier team wanted both officials, and
the local team refused To let them have
the umpire, since there is nothing in
the rules to back up such a request.
The visitors notified Goddard several
days ago that they would bring their
own referee, but when they got here
they wanted both the referee and the
umpire. Mariani had been engaged to
act as umpire by the home team, and
after several minutes of needless arglI-
ment the umpire told the teams to
play ball or leave the hall The Mont
pelier boys promptly went home, with
out the ball so much as being put in
play. The officials declared the game
forfeited by Montpelier seminary, and
that Goddard had won by the score of
2 to 0.
The game which was forfeited last
evening is the one which should have
been played March 1st, but was post
poned BY the Montpelier team to March
9TH
The spectators were given back their
money, but many Of them remained to
see the game between Goddard second
team and Mortified Athletic club. This
game was not particularly interesting,
owing to the poor team work on both
sides. Calf, Hunt and Vivian threw
all the baskets for the home team, and
Vivian threw the fouls The game re-
suited in a victory for Goddard seconds
by the score of 27 to IA.
