BEST BOUT SEEN HERE.
Hanson Gets Fall in 81 Minutes.
Will Wrestle Again.

The wrestling match of last Sat-
urday night deserved a good house.
Barrett, the manager of Tremblay,
when he saw the few that were
gathered did not wish to wrestle but
rather than dissapoint the crowd he
said he would wrestle an hour or
not wrestle at all. Finally he said
he would wrestle best two out of
three for a finish. Bourbon told the
people in the audience to come up
on the stage and the bout began. 1t
was bout that certainly kept the
crowd on edge as the men were both
pretty well warmed up. They kept
chewing the rag and Barrett had
the crowd in a roar by his remarks.
The first fall came in 90 minutes
with a head scissors and wrist hold.
Barrett then said that he had show
ed the crowd what he could do and
that he did not wish to wrestle
any more for the small amount of
money he would get.
However Barrett said he would
wrestle Hanson in three weeks at
14S pounds for a stake of 800 and
he deposited $40 as guarantee OF
good faith, with the referee. The
bout which was wrestled was one
of the best which has been seen in
this city or Barre during the winter
as the men seemed to be in earnest.
This match, what there was of it,
was far ahead of the apology for a
match held at Barre the, night be-
fore. When the men |Iestle again
they deserve a good house.

Do this with your children.

School children should be fed plenti-
fully and frequently on Quaker Oats.
1t makes the best possible breakfast for
anyone who is to work with either brain
or muscle. It's easy to prove this in
your own family. Increase the daily
consumption of Quaker Oats and you'll
see an almost immediate improvement in
the health and energy OF those who eat
it. The regular size package of Quaker
Oats sells at l0c, the large family pack
age size at Csc; the family package with
a piece of china 30c.
Breakfast on Quaker Oats every day.

RIFLE PRACTICE FOR MILITIA.
Each Company Will Be in Camp mt
Mortified For Three DayS-COm.
pany II Goes June II.

A general order has been received
from Col. ]. Gray Estee at the head
quarters of the Vermont National
Guard at Brattleboro, relative to the
regimental rifle practice which is to
take place this summer, from June
14th to August goth inclusive. Each
company in the regiment will stay
two days in camp at the range at
Mortified, Company H leaving June
14th for it's turn at the pits. The
schedule for the companies is as fol-
lows: Company A, August %; Co.
B, June "a; Co. G, Aug. 5; Co. E,
Aug. 81 Co. F, June IA; Co. G, June
81; Co. H, June II; Co. 1, Aug. 16;
Co. L, Aug. 70; Co. M, Aug. 10.
Capt. Clarence H. Senter, Assist
ant Inspector OF Rifle Practice, will
act as executive and summary court
officer during the encampment, and
will have complete charge of the
camp, in conjunction with the COM
pany commanders.
The fact that Mortified is a Ii
cense town may have somewhat of
damaging effect on the camp at the
range, but the discipline will be
strict enough to void any great diff
ficulty from this cause.

Goddard Seminary met defeat at
the hands of the U. V. M. Indepen-
dents Monday forenoon at Inter-
city Park in game which grew I'M
interesting after repeated misplays
and bungles by the Barre team. The
visitors played a good game, al
though toward the end of the ses-
sion, they let up and seemed care
less as to what became of the ball,
as they were far in the lead of their
opponents.
A good crowd witnessed the game
and were sorely disappointed when
the Goddard students put up such a
poor exhibition, The Barre boys
scored first, getting man across in
the second round, on two errors, and
a long fly which MacAuley dropped
in left field. In the next session, L.
V. M. tailed three times; White stop
ped fast shoot with his shoulder,
Gleason drew a pass and Wark
planted a single in right, scoring
White, after which Gregg bounded
one to short, on which Gleason tai
lied when the ball was thrown to
first. Reardon then did the same
trick, scoring Wark, Goode then go
ing out at first. Three more tall
lies were coralled in the fourth,
when Shanahan got a life on an err
ror by Lee, stole second and third
and came home when White leaned
against the leather for bingle. A
wild throw advanced White to 3rd
from which he and Gleason, who
drew a pass, scored on series of
lofty heaves around the infield.
Goddard managed to get one man
across in the 5th, although they
should have made more; Smith hit,
Spaulding famed and then White
sandwitched in a hit of the scratchy
order. Sinner was safe on another
error by MacAuley, and Wishart
slammed out a Texas Lacquer scor-
ing Smith but White trying to tally
at the same time was thrown out
at the plate. U. V. M. clinched their
hold on the game in the 9th by
denting the rubber four times on two
errors, and three hits, Smith, the
Goddard twirler seeming to be un-
able to stop the swatfest.
Although Goddard made a stab to
pull out of the hole in their half OF
the next three innings, when they
tailed five times, U. V. NJ. pushed
them back again by putting up three
more marks on the score board in
the 9th, which effectually dampened
the spirits Of the Barre contingent.

market conditions have changed rad
ically. What was trash early in De-
cember, pigs and light stuff, is now
popular. Shippers are clamoring for
light hogs and were free buyers Sat
urday at $5.5O@5.90. Packers, who have
been protesting that they had accumu-
lated more light cuts than they could
force into outlet channels in six
months, have suddenly discovered that
they are short on bacon material and
are joining in the scramble. Shippers
paid $3.50 at the close last week for

Coincident with a broadening de-

The younger senators, or those who
were not en- rapport with the ruling
powers, got places on the unimportant

Protest Gains Force.
Protest against this condition has
been gaining force for a long time.
BY common consent, it has been vague
ly understood for some months past
that when the next revision should
take place, the insurgents should make
a fight for fairer distribution. Ever
since the death of Senator Allison and
the promotion, by seniority, of Sena-
tor Hale to the nominal leadership on
the republican side, it has been UNI
derstood among the younger element
that the fight should be made next
March, when the special session should
meet.
But now word reaches the heterodox
young men of the senate that the old

a play for time Is to- be made 1t will
be argued that there is no need to re-
organize the committees for the short
session. because it is TO be devoted to

this move means. They are inclined to
suspect that 1t indicates some misgiv-
