Sporting Notes.

The golf and tennis matches which
were to have taken place between Brat
tleboro and Keene today have been
postponed.
This office has a communication from
H. C. Wheeler, manager Of the Bond
vile baseball team, in which he chal-
lenges any team in southern Vermont,
Brattleboro preferred, for the cham
pionship.
Jimmie Doran, who played basket
ball here last winter in the champion
ship games, has been signed to play
first base for the New London team of
the Connecticut league. He made his
bow to Connecticut league circles by
cracking out one single out of three
times at bat and getting 10 putouts
without an error. Tom B. Hays and
Collision of the University of Vermont
are also playing on the New London
team.
In a very close match at Pine Grove
Springs Saturday the Keene Country
club golf team lost the third leg on the
Blandy cup and the trophy now be-
comes the permanent possession OF the
Pine Grove Springs club. The match
was one of the closest imaginable,
narrow margin of two points determin.
ing the result. Karl r. Beedle handed
in the best medal score of the day,

of the hotel team each had ~. Pine

Quarantine Law May Hurt Fairs.

Upon the procedure of State Cattle
Commissioner H. S. Wilson of Airing
ton under the act of the legislature ere
ating the office of cattle commissioner
and defining his powers and duties
may depend much of the success OF the
agricultural fairs in Vermont this au
tumn. Section of act 17S, acts OF
1906, says:-
A person shall not bring into the
state cattle or other domestic animals
other than horses, sheep and swine not
known or suspected to be diseased, ex-
cept by written permission of the cat
tie commissioner. When such cattle OF
other domestic animals have been
brought within the state, the owner
thereof shall notify the commissioner
who, either in person or by some COM
petent assistant, shall, within SIX days
of his receiving notice examine such
cattle or other domestic animals, and,
if he deems necessary, apply the tu-
berculin test
Persons interested in the Valley fair
at Brattleboro have learned that in re-
Spouse to an inquiry from a person
who wishes to exhibit a string of fine
cattle at the Valley fair, Mr.. Wilson
wrote that he might require all cattle
exhibited to be detained in quarantine
or submitted to the tuberculin test.
The prospective exhibitor wants to
know definitely whether that is to be
done or not and if it is, says he will
not make the exhibit. Doubtless other
cattle owners will have the same feel
ing. Mr.. Wilson may decide to allow
stock to be shipped to the fairs, with
out being detained. Valley fair people
