with the exchange of lbroadsides as fast

is the lessening OF the intermisslon between

Of the time Of rest ii carried out strictly
by the officials, will mean that the players
do not get chilled, and have chance TO
continue in their stride
"A change Of greater moment in the play
itself is one ruling on the forward pass.
Formerly in the case Of an uncompleted for
ward pass the penalty was measured from
the spot from which the pass was made.
That usually meant a spot at least six or
seven yards back of the line OF scrimmage,
The new rule says that the distance shall
be measured from the spot OF the preceding
down instead Of the spot from which the
ball was passed. II is easy TO see, then,
that the penalty Is lessened by about seven

FIGHTING BOSTON & MAINE.
Cornish Residents Oppose Line Through
Their Property.

One of the important matters TO come
before the New Hampshire supreme court
| at the September sitting is the petition OF
the Sullivan County road for permission
to extend its lines through the towns OF
Cornish and Plainfeld to connection
with the tracks OF the Concord division Of
the Boston X Maine road at West Leba,
non.
The petition comes before the court for
an order from that body referring il to the
public service commission to determine the
question of public good. The plan is OPP
posed by Hattie 5. Beaman, Winston
Churchill and other members of the sum
mer colony of Cornish, who are represent
ed by Judge James w Remck of Concord,
n. II.
At the June term action on the petition
was postponed at the request of Oliver f.
Branch, counsel for the Sullivan County
road, to give time for possible agreement
between the Boston 4 Maine and the Cen
trail Vermont roads, which would permit
the use of the road between White River
Junction and Windsor, VT, owned by the
Boston 4 Maine, thus obviating the neces-
slty OF building the extension at an estl-
mated cost of S2,500000.
That there has been no agreement was
indicated when Judge Remick in behalf
of his clients filed with the court a long
list of objections to the construction of the
extension, on which there will be hearing
before the sitting closes.
The objections set up are as follows:
That the proposed extension would do
great damage to property of Hettie $. Bea.
man, worth $4,000 and of Winston
Churchill, worth $4,000.
That the necessary preliminary steps
have not been taken to warrant the con
sideration of the question of public good
at this time.
That the petitioner is not of sufficient
financial ability to construct and operate
the line.
That the financial responsibility of the
Boston 4 Maine and the New York, New
Haven K Hartford roads is not available to
further the enterprise because the contract
under which they control and operate the
Sullivan County road is illegal.
That the petition has been brought as a
means of coercing the Central Vermont
road to Joint use of the road running be-
tween White River Junction and Windsor
The petition further sets up that there
is no public necessity for the extension,
and that it is undertaken for the purpose
of monopolizing railroad traffic in northern
New England; that it would only add to
the burden of the Boston 4 Maine and the
New York, New Haven 4 Hartford rail.

A STATE MOUNTAIN TRAIL
From Massachusetts, Through Benning-

The proposal which has been made that
the mountain and forest lovers OF Vermont
open mountain trail FROM one end OF the
state to the other along the main ridge OF

ment of Vermont attractions that has been

ness extending from the south line OF
Readsboro and Stamford to the Canadian
border. In fact from the vicinity OF RoX,
bury and Warren there are two ranges oil
which the western is the most elevated and
precipitous but the eastern much longer,
extending as it does through northern New
Hampshire and along the western edge OF
Maine into lower Canada
This mountainous ridge is more than
twenty miles wide in some points in Ben
nington and Windham counties and also in
the counties of Rutland and Windsor. Again
in places it narrows down to little more
than a single ridge, as at Bolton. Every

ing while the variety is.a continual wonder
and delight. >,
Think of the charm of mountain trail
winding in and out among the mountains
from one end of the state to the other.
What an opportunity it will offer to, the
young men when they come home from
schools and colleges next summer to lay
out such trail and make it possible and
available without marring any of its
beauties. We believe that such an enter
prise would attract hundreds of visitors to
Vermont, lovers of out of doors, whom the
state would be glad to welcome.
Naturally such a trail would start at the
south end of the state, probably not, far
from the city of North Adams, which
bumps up against the Green Mountain
range on the east The builders would
select their own route doubtless, but we
