Before luncheon two exploring par

At noon the company assembled
about the old school house, which
looked the part of Whittier's ragged
beggar summing, and, the horses be
ing tethered there, the picnic dinner
was eaten near by on half shaded
bank opposite the woodland. The
program prepared for the afternoon

luncheon, and was full of interest as
usual.

Woodstock's Dusty Streets.

The village meeting next January
will probably be asked to consider
the matter of oiling the streets an
other summer. The present season is
welladvanced, and as the first expense
is considerable the board of trustees
does not feel justified in taking the
responsibility now.
1t would seem as though the voters
wouldn't hesitate long in authorizing
the use of oil as against unsatisfac-
tory watering method. The plod-
ding sprinkler skips the hill streets;
other avenues on the outskirts of the
village are seldom visited, and no
where does it lay the dust effectively,
and couldn't do so if it was kept
going continuously day and night.
On the other hand if any of the
streets are oiled at the beginning Of
next season all will be treated in the
same way--and the dust nuisance
will be abated. Very~few streets
will require second oiling in a
season; the outlay will not be stag
gering-and it seems worth while

BASEBALL.
WOODSTOCK WINS TWICE.

WOODSTOCK WINS TWICE.
Woodstock twice conquered the
naughty Bridgewater men in a
double-header on Vail field Wednes-
day, but there were times when the
enemy looked very dangerous to the
peace and safety of this community.
There was a good holiday turnout at
both games, the Bridgewater players
always being an attraction.
Local success was due to the good
clean hitting in both games; there
were hair-raising finishes, and both
engagements were frst-class shows
for the money.
Mackenzie pitched four innings for
the locals in the morning, but in the
fifth, as the visitors were having too
good time with the bat, Wyatt took
his place and Bridgewater got only
one more score, grand total of nine.
One pair of tallies were made by
Rowland and Dumas, the latter scor-
ing on a lost ball.
Bridqewater put in Pinch Hitter
Lamont, who hit safely, but was
pinched at second by WAITS ath-
letic arm
Rahus pitched good game for
Bridgewater, Capron for the visitors
and Ryan for Woodstock, giving fine
exhibitions of backstopping in both
games.

A residence in the north part of
town, owned by w. H. Waddle
and occupied by r. II. Smith, was
burned at an early hour Sunday
morning. Very little of the con-
tents was saved. II is not known
how the fire originated as the build
ing was mass of flames when dis
covered and the family had barely
time to escape with their lives.
Mr.. Smith carried insurance to the
amount of S4OO on his household
goods, but says this will not cover
more than one-half his loss. The
