Barre's Condition.
Barre would undoubtedly like to be rep
I resented in the Northern league next
summer There is the feeling, however,
that if this city joins with Montpelier
the quarters Of the team must be in
Barre For two seasons the men have
been quartered in Montpelier and Barre
fans have had look at them only semi
occasionally. The objection to the
keeping Of the team III Barre last year
was that II could make railroad counee-
tions better in the neighboring city
That win be partially obyiated this
year IL the intention to have two instead
/ of three games week Is carried ont,
as II nov the intention. The stock
holders feel that three games week
I are too many, and that idea Will be
! brought before the Northern league
meeting when it is held soon in Bmliue-
ton If only two games week are
played the local stockholders believe that
there viii be more reason for keeping
the team in Barre for another year.
Association Owes S4oo.
At the next annual meeting next
month, the financial statement Of tie
association will be presented Il M
be said that the association has bills of
$500 outstanding. To Offset this there
are assets in The shape Of the equipment
Of intereity Park. The humber alone
would bring $500, 50 il is said. and this
association has received ala ofTer for that
amognt. A large amount II stock was
not paid IN last summer. and Barre was
chiefly responsible for this failuge; while
in Montpelier the stockholders paid up
quite generally. If The total subscribed
stock was paid in, there would he money
in the treasury. Only 1880 subscrip-
tions were paid in 1904, against s1,650
in 1908.
The team cost less last wear than for
the year before, and the treasurer is
busy mixing out the annual statement
1 1t is known that the cost ran under Sl0,
600, while in 1908 It was over one
tbousand dollars in excess OF that
amount.
