Lovers of automobiles had the privilege
of seeing an English "Humber" auto of
six cylinder and 80 horse power weighing
q tons last week. This was taken from
Willoughby where 1t became disabled by
running into a bad place In the road.
These cars are among the best foreign
built, costing about 900 each. A party
consisting of DR.. Arthur Mignault and his
friends were on their way from Bethlehem,
n. H., to Montreal when the car gave out.
1t will be shipped to Montreal by freight.
F. B. Lang, with his horse AIlanetta, won
first money at the races held at Camden,
Mass, last week in the free for all class;
time, ZIG. At Rutland, the Rutland Horse
Show and Breeders association presented
Mr.. Lang, by the hand of Hon. John Z.
Joy, with.a fine silver cup. The cup stands
about nine inches high, and is about five
inches across the top. 1t has three handles
and is beauty. On it is engraved the fol-
lowing: sR. n. s. and B. A, June 1851
| or, Rutland, VT" There were 26 entries for
the cup, but Mr.. Lang won 1t, and also the
| blue ribbon. This is very complimentary
to our townsman.
George F. Reed finished work with the
road machine June 20. He has built some
good road in town, especially the Barton
Landing, West Glover and South Barton
roads. In several places where these roads
were narrow he has widened them, so
as to comply with the state law. Reed and
Pierce will do large job of graveling on
the Barton Landing road, expending here
about $1,000. The job Reed did at the COW
cred bridge, by widening and filling, is a
| great improvement, and much appreciated
by the travelling public. II the trustees of
the two villages follow up the good work
we will have some model roads.
Will Mason of Hardw we'll known in
this vicinity, came near being electrocuted
Sunday evening, June 30. He sat under a
80 candle power electric lamp with one
foot on the stove hearth, reached up and
pulled the lamp nearer to his paper, re-
ceiving a shock which rendered him un-
conscious. He fell back in his chair, and
his wife, seeing there was trouble, pulled
the cord out of his hand, stopping the
circuit. Mr.. Mason's hand and foot were
quite badly burned. The electrician
examined the wiring and decided that
there was a leakage of electricity in the
transformer. We mention this as warn
ing to all to be careful in handling electric
lamps when the current is on.
Baseball Notes.
The game at Stanstead Monday was theil
best so far.
Barton was not the only team to make 6
batting rally in the 9Th Saturday.
Those new suits made the Frontiets lool
fine, and they played as well as they
looked.
The score in Saturdays game with Barre
was to g. The itemized account will b,
given later.
Between taking everything in deep lef
and covering second, Berry was in tn,
, game every second.
. Lyndopville has played plucky uphill
game since the beginning OF last season
they deserve to win.
: Several things contributed to Barton
single defeat The one worth talking
about is that the Frontiers played almos
an errorless game.
In the first few innings at bat Saturday
every man at bat and on bases was alive t.
, the signal; then the team lapsed into in
dividual ball until the last inning.
The team has played five games in sever
consecutive week days. That they lost bu
one is very much to their credit. The.
q played four strong teams. The season will
9 not have another as hard week for tn
Z. team.
The Northern Vermont series to dat
stands as follows:
Barton, three games won, one game lost
:. Lyndonville, one game won, one game lost
!. Frontiers, one game won, two games los,
st. Johnsbury, no games won, one gam
lost, but watch st. Johnsbury.
Our most loyal fans are very properl
> grieved at some of the poor inield work il
the game with Barre. Let them be con
e soled that it was not circumstance to tn
I Frontiers toboggan in the ninth inning q
9 Lyndonville the same day.
