Considerable comment has been
made of late because, notwithstanding
the efforts made to improve sanitary
conditions in this village, peddsers
have acquired a habit of tossing fish
heads over the fences into yards near
where they makes sales. The strang.
est thing about this feature of fish jed
ding is that customers never seem to
see or care whether this is done or
not. A complaint to the health de-
partment, with proof, will tend to end
this style of nuisance.
Following the Vermont-Pennsylva-
MIA state game last week the members
of the Vermont team met and elected
NJ. ]. burlington of Pownal as their
captain for next season. The election
was unanimous. Burlington has
caught for the varsity team three
years and is considered the best cat
cher that Vermont has ever had and
by many, the best catcher in the col
lege world. In throwing to bases Bur
rington has always excelled, particu-
larly this season. and his Judgment of
the different situations that quickly
arises in base ball has always been
excellent. His election, no doubt, will
unanimously please the teams admir-
ers.
