Firemen's Contests.
The fair ground company had pre-
pared a good race caro- and together
with the attractions by the Fourth
committee it proved to be all and
more than was advertised in spite of
the intense heat. Nearly three thous-
and paid admission to the grounds
and a better behaved crowd could
hardly be imagined. During the
progress of the ball game people near
the track were witnesses of the long
looked for hose race between the
local and Centervale firemen Heat
did not seem to affect the teams in
this event and the time was good,
ST. Johnsbury landing a winner in
40A seconds. Centervale did the
trick in Il seconds fiat.
The Ball Game.
Some good sport was furnished by
the base ball teams from Hardwick
and Lyndonville, both Thomas and
Wray showing good form until the
1th inning When the latter started on
an air fight. Smith, the Tufts col
lege varsity pitcher came to the
rescue and was doing good work
when the argument about a blocked
ball came up. AS a settlement could
not be reached Hardwick left the
field and the score was allowed to
stand in Lyndonville's favor.
