HOW THE DELEGATES VOTED.

In n strenuous campaign like that
through which Vermont has just bean
passing. 1t is natural that after the
close OF the convention people should
begin to explain what happened. For
example, 1t is being reported that
some Of tho bennington men who
ton hall after tho first ballot and
that this accounted for the majority
OF four secured by Or. Mead on the
second ballot. In another quarter t.
Ia stated that tho Bennington mon
who had been voting for Bachelor
went over to Mead. In the course of
our experience in connection with
many conventions We have always
found Bennington county republicans
to be depended upon every time, and
we are glad to be in a position to say
that not single man from Benning-
ton county left tho hall between the
first and second ballots for governor,
and one man who had voted for
Batcheldcr apparently voted for Mead
on the second ballot as had been un-
derstood in advance would be the case
As a matter of fact It appears that
only nine delegates from the different
counties left the convention between
the first and second ballots, as shown
by the total, the vote on tho first ballot
having been 6S9 and the total on the
second ballot having been ESQ.
The first ballot was as follows:

When the announcement was made
TO the Yankees that Hal Chase was the
new manager, Jack knight walked up

him the best he had. The point of this
is that the long shortstop and the first
baseman have not been on speaking
terms for nearly two months.
Why2 you ask. Gertrude, the answer
is really a shame You've heard of the
temperamental opera singers, and all
the rest Of that? Wen, get this one.
1t is an excellent side light on ball
players:
Two months ago the Highlanders
were playing in 81. Louis. Jack Knight
picked UP a ST. Louis bat and weighed
it carefully in his hand
Nice little stick" he remarked TO
Bobby Wallace.
1T is and it isn't returned Bobby.

The next day he raided the Brown s
Yankees turned loving eyes on the jinT
stick. The next day when Chase was
going up to bat he picked il up and
started for the plate
