The Cuban situation.

The outlook on Wednesday morning
was that there was no hope of averting
armed Intervention of the United States
in Cuba. President Palma had shown
himself weakly false to Commissioner
Taft having deliberately abdicated with
view to forcing the United States to
take charge of Cuban affairs, fully under
standing that II might be years before
Cuba could again become self-governing
nation.
wednesday afternoon a meeting Of the
moderate national assembly was hastily
called at Havana to decide the pressing
question whether some way could not yet
be devised to settle the existing difficul-
ties without the threatened American In
Prevention. The Meeting was one OF
great excitement. and many incendiary
speeches were made. Its outcome was an
agreement to appoint a committee to ne
gotiate terms of peace with a committee
of the rebels and liberals, leaving all
points upon which no agreement is
reached to the arbitration of the Ameri-
can commissioners.
The moderates abandoned the eondi-
tion that the rebels must finally lay down
their arms before negotiations could be
taken up.
II was agreed that at the special session
OF Congress called for today the resigna-
ton of President Palma would be tabled
pending these negotiations, with the hope
Of obviating the necessity OF his leaving
ofice.
Meanwhile, the naval forces OF the
United States are converging toward
| Cuba, and by Saturday we shall have
1900 men there available TO begin the
occupation OF the island. Wednesday
army forces to the number OF 5000 were
ordered TO hold themselves in readiness
to go to Cuba. Within week or 10 days
a total force OF 10000 men will be avail
able.

SPORTING NOTES.

James Barrett win Play With the Boston
Americans.
The Boston Sunday Globe contained
James ID. Barrett the famous outfelder
who has been secured by the Boston
Americans under a two years contract,
was for several seasons the sensational
ontfielder of the Detroit club. He was
laid up last fall with lame knee. and
was still out Of shape last spring when
he was traded to Cincinnati. Barrett re-
manned with Cincinnati only a few games
and after a short stay with a minor
league club in Ohio went back to Detroit
to rest up, and have his knee properly
cared for.
About the middle Of July AL Bucken-
berger induced Barrett to go to Roch-
ester and play the outield. His presence
put life into the team, and II made a
great showing from that time till the
end of the season. Barrett was not
troubled at all with his knee and played
as well as ever, so well in fact that Pitts
burg, Philadelphia Brooklyn and other
clubs were on his trail. As Barrett was
not under reserve he could pick his own
club, and preferred Boston, having an
army of friends in this part OF the
country.
Barrett can play any of the outfield
positions He is a hitter, can bunt is
ers as well as right He is fast out
fielder, having led the American league
in tails department, and is one of the few
great throwers playing the outield today.
Barretts ambition is to some day own a
farm in Michigan.
"Barretts record for IA games shows
that he has made 25 safe hits in 81 times
at bat. a batting average of about 400.
The Boston club has made several plays
for this man and has finally secured
him."
Barrett, who began his ball playing as
a school boy in Brattleboro, was one of
the greatest all around players in the
country previous to being put out of the
game by an injury. He was the peer of
any man as an outfelder and thrower
and always took high rank as batsman
and base runner. One season he ranked
among the first six hitters of the Ma
tional league and was near the head OF
the list as a base runner A letter re-
ceived recently by Barretts sister. Mrs.
M. J. Moran, stated that the speedy out
fielder had entirely recovered from his
INJURY. and that he felt confident OF
making good in fast company next
season. Barrett will spend the winter In
Detroit, but during the fall he expects
to come to Brattleboro with his wife for
short visit.

WEST BRATTLE5oRo.
Death of HazeItOn Rice.

Hazelton Rice, "a, for many years a
prominent ciuzen OF this village, died at
his home Sunday from the infirides of
old age after an illness of eight months.
Mr.. Rice was born in Somerset, Sept. 8,
1922, and was the son of Hazelton and
Rhoda (Stone) Rice of that place. Jan. 1,
1876 he married Esther Smith, a native
of Londonderry, who survives him. Last
January Mr.. and Mrs. Rice celebrated
the Goth anniversary Of their marriage.
The past % years they have spent in
West Brattleboro. Previous to coming
here they lived in Somerset and Newfane,
and in West Chesterfield. He several
times held every office in the gift OF his
native town except that Of town clerk.
He was twice elected representative, the
second election being unanimous, and was
a member of the legislature at the extra
session OF 1861 MIR. Rice was a lifelong
Republican, voted for John Q. Fremont
and distinctly remembered the Hard
Cider" ''Tippeeanoe and Tyler Too" cam
palgn rally on Straiuton mountain when
Daniel Webster gave the address. He
held Offices Of trust and responsibility in
Newfane and Chesterfield but after COM
ing here he retired from public life al
most entirely. Two children were born
to Mr.. and RMS. Rice a daughter who
died in childhood and a son who reached
tho age of 21. Mr.. Rice was a member OF
the First Congregational church and has
been a loyal citizen and true friend, ever
watchful in the best interests OF the COM
munity ana the church.
The funeral was held at the home at
100 Tuesday afternoon, Rev. L. NJ. Ken
estcn of the Congregational church officlat-
ing. The many friends and neighbors
present and the beautiful flowers were
proof of the esteem in which Mr.. Rice
was held. The burial was in the Meeting
House Hill cemetery.

THE 1905 APPLE CROP.
A Bulletin from the Experiment Station
at Burlington.

at burlington.
Many conflicting reports as to the 1906
apple crop have appeared in various hor-
ticultural and farm journals throughout
the country. This led to uncertainty on
the part of growers as to the facts. Most
of the early reports indicated a rather
heavy crop in the principal apple growing
sections OF the United States and Can
ada; later an unusually heavy June drop
was reported from many sections; while
still later information indicated somewhat
severe losses in the Mississippi valley re-
gion from the bitter rot fungus. The
actual extent of these losses throughout
the country cannot be definitely stated
but that the size of crop has been very
materially curtailed cannot be gainsaid.
Reports received within the past few
weeks from widely separated fruit grow
ing sections indicate great reduction as
compared with predictions made earlier
in the season. The general situation
seems to be that the crop is irregular and
scattering, good in some orchards, poor
in others, heavy in some localities. light
in others. A careful review of the data
at hand does not Justify one In estimating
the apple production for 1906 at more than
a medium crop.
What is the situation as It relates to
Vermont orchards? The Vermont Expert
ment station, through extensive cores
| pondence and personal visitation of large
numbers of orchards, has obtained fairly
accurate information concerning the YER
mont apple crop. In no instance were
late fall and winter varieties reported as
more than a medium crop; in many cases
II was said to be a light one. 1t is doubt
| full II as a whole 1t equals the 1905 crop.
The Vermont grower is warranted in
expecting good prices for No. l apples.
approximating probably those received
last year He will ordinarily do well to
hold such stock rather than to sacrifice
on II.

THURSDAYS RACES.

The track record went by the boards
Thursday afternoon In the free for all
race when Advancer, the bay gelding
owned by l. N. Chase Of the Forest Park
Farm OF Brandon, turned the track twice
in 2.11h. The first quarter was made
in S2%, the half In Io5A and the three
quarters pole was reached In 1.37A. In
the third heat the quarter was timed as
32A and the half in 1.O4ak, tying the half
mile record made by Major b. o. on Tues
day In this heat Elizabeth s., after a
bad start, went the middle half In 1.0Sh.
Advancer's record is remarkable in that
the elongated gelding is a trotter and
not PAGER. Advancer equaled his pre-
vious record, Jennie W. has a record OF
21OA and Elizabeth s., 2.09h. The bay
mare would unquestionahly be wonder
II she was steady actor, but repeated
scoring was necessary before she was
under way in each heat. The joclEies who
handled the horses in this race are all
we'll known to the turf, pickles being
behind Advancer, McShane holding the
reins over Jennie w. and Martin directing
Elizabeth S.
In the FIRST heat Elizabeth s. was four
lengths in the rear when they were given
the word on the seventh trial. Jennie w.
set the pace a large part Of the distance,
but Advancer whirled like a flash around
the upper turn and took the lead $50
Yards from the wire Jennie w. was on
AdvanceT's wheel at the close OF the sec
ond heat and Elizabeth S. saved her dis
lance by great work toward the finish.
Advancer took the decisive heat by two
lengths and was not pushed at the finish
A special prize of 800 for breaking the
track record will be paid by the Valley
Fair association to Advancers owner.

American Motor Cars In illumination Race.

American MOTOR Cars IN ELIMINATION Race
In a remarkable test of speed for high
powered motor cars over the Nassau
circuit on Long Island Saturday, Joe
Tracey, an American chauffeur, driving
an American car, manufactured by the
Locomobile company of America OF
Bridgeport, Conn, easily won first place
In the elimination trials for the Wander
bilt cup race, which viii take place over
the same course Oct. 6 He covered the
297 miles in hours, q minutes and IS sec
onds, defeating his nearest competitor,
Herbert lie Bl0n, who drove Q Thomas
car, by q minutes and 40 seconds The
only other car that went the full course,
was a Haynes automobile driven by
Harding in hours, % minutes and 80
seconds. The Pope-Toledo driven by
Lytle and Walter christie's freak racing
machine, which were far ahead Of their
nearest competitors when the race was
called by Mr.. Vanderbilt on account OF
the crowd docking on to the course to
pay homage to Joe Tracy, also qualified
for the American team.
There was only one serious accident
which fortunately, did not result fatally
for those concerned in It. Mongtni, driver
OF the MathesOn, and his mechanic, John
Green, got under way with the prettiest
start OF any of the dozen competitors,
and both OF them smilingly acknowledged
the applause which greeted what might
be appropriately termed a flying start
from a standstill. A few minutes later
one of the tires on the Matheson went
wrong on the North Hampstead turn
pike. and at Clark's corner Mongini came
to grief. The course was about % miles
in length and the machines went over II
10 times. There were several dangerous
turns On the straight stretches the big
cars were driven at the rate Of 30 miles
an hour.

The BUILDERS Name.

The other evening, a man and his wife
entered Keith's theatre. taking seats in
the parquet circle-or what used to be
called the parquet circle in the old days.
The husband was busily engaged in read
ing the program, while the good wife
was looking the theatre interior over.
Finally her eyes fell upon the word
"A-S-B-E-S-T-O-S" on the centre of the
curtain. She nudged her husband and
said:
John. see Asbestos on the curtain.
What does that mean?"
The husband looked at the word, and
replied, knowingly:
"Oh, that's the buck that built the
theatreP'
"oh, I see," said the dutiful spouse.

being in a bunch and the fourth close up
The drivers Of Russell Grattan and Phoso
Patchen gave a clever exhibition in the
way in which they handled their horses
in this heat coming into third and Sec
ond positions at the finish. There was
nothing remarkable about the third heat
except the fast trotting of Mamie Win
stead in the last quarter, but she was too
far away TO get piece Of the money.
Tho 2.35 stake race for a purse Of $500
was started with but a single trial and at
the half mile five horses were on almost
even terms. Johnny Marston made
great drive with Glencoe Boy and lost
only by inches from Del Camden. in fact
from some angles Glencoe Boy looked to
be the winner and the Official announce
ment from the judges stand was neces-
sary before the spectators were sure of
the result Little Tuff was only inches
behind the other two. In the second heat
Del Camden at the pole was shut out at
the start by the quick work OF Glencoe
Boy and Little Tuff. Hurlburt fell on the
first turn but Drury. who was driving his
own horse, struck on his feet uninjured
Frank Gould swerved over the fallen
horse and the driver was thrown, but the
brown gelding paced unguided to the
upper turn before being stopped. The
finish was entirely between Little Tuff
and Del Camden, with the former two
lengths to the good. Glencoe Boy was
placed in third position and Frank Gould
in fourth, while Hurlburt was ordered
distanced. there having been no inter
ference against him. Hurlburt's driver
claimed that the horses fall was caused
by a "cuppy' place in the track, but the
judges could see no reason for the acct
dent. McShane, Whitney's driver who
was driving Frank Gould. was badly
bruised but continued in the race. The
third heat was fight in the stretch be-
tween Glencoe Boy and Little Tuff, with
Del Cander third. Little Tuff was never
headed in either the fourth or the fifth
heat The horses were pretty well logged
out and the last mile was in 2.27.
