can accommodate visitors with rooms
or meals or both should send their
name and address to Mr. Bigelow at
the Caledonian Office and state the
prices they would charge. This
should be attended to at once so the
committee can begin to assign the

BEST GAME EVER
LittIetOn Defeated by Fitch's Braves
Z to 6 in a IA Inning Contest
on the Campus.

Without dissenting voice the
crowd that left the campus Saturday
evening about $50 o'clock voted the
game between Manager Fitch's braves
and Littleton the best ever pulled
off on the grounds. For IA innings
the two teams struggled in a clean
game of baseball and at the end, with
the score to 6, in favor of the locals,
the visitors were unanimous in the
opinion that the square treatment ac-
corded by Umpire Brown made a
defeat almost as good as a win. The
game should have been st. Johns
bury's in nine innings as the runs
earned up to that time were 3 to 0,
and it was not until the tenth that
the visitors put over tally that was
not helped along by misplays.
When the list of st. Johnsbury's
baseball heroes is being made up the
name of Henry Lavasseur is going to
be placed right at the top of the
column next to reading matter. His
game Saturday in the box entities
him to the place and it will be some
time before he is replaced. His rec
ord for the game included 16 strike
outs, two put outs, assists, a sin
gle, double and a three Dagger which
had it not sent in the winning run
would have gone for a home run, and {
both the extra base hits came at crit |
ical times, the two bagger in the |
tenth in time to tie up the score and |
the long hit over the fence just when |
it was needed to put the game away. |
And Furthermore both pitchers went /
through the long grind without issu-
ing pass.
He was also given good support,
aside from Wright's wierd work in
the early stages. Riley Moore also
took two desperate chances on long
hits which he might excusably have
let gone as hits, with the result that
he entered the error column, but the
biggest surprise was in the ninth
when Cummings, the old dependable
backstop, with plenty of time on a
third strike, threw wild to first, let
ting w. Perry on, from where he
scored the tying run and took the
game into extra innings.
Langley pitched a heady game for
the visitorS-and his support was gilt
edged, Morris on first and Perry in
center being the particular stars.
The scoring began in the first,
Morris getting a life on Wright's
nuff, and making the circuit on a
steal, passed ball and wild pitch
Hill doubled in St. Johnsbury's half
Ind came home on Cummings single.
Hill also scored again in the third,
litting safely and advancing on a
steal and sacrifices by Cummings and
Carr. Connor got around in the
'ourth on single, stolen base and

REAL ESTATE ACTIVE.
Many Transfers Recorded In Town
Clerks Office During The Pres
ent Season Recent Deals.

The CaIedonian has from time to
time published the transfers of real
estate made in the village but few
people realize the unusual amount of
business that has been done in the
town clerks office during the pres
ent season. Town Clerk Braley can
be found most any time recording
deeds as he finds it difficult to keep
UP with the rush of work. In the
following figures of the number of
deeds recorded since January l, 1912
no count is made of bonds for deeds
or trust deeds.
There have already been record
ed since January /, so warranty
deeds, 13 quit claim deeds and IL
administrators deeds, which repre-
sent 116 actual transfers of real es-
tate It would be interesting to
know the value of property repre-
sented in these transfers. When it
is remembered that many mortgages
is remembered that many mortgage
deeds have been given in connec-
ton with these transfers it is easily
realized that the town clerk has been
somewhat busy.
Recent Real Estate Deals
Among the recent transfers of
real estate left for record are:-
Mrs. Mary Robbins house and lot
at the Center to Mrs. Rebecca Harri-
man.
Matthew Flemming and wife
house and lot on Valley street to AL
bertus S. Hale.

MANY STRANGERS COMING
Piano Now on Grounds and Rehear-
sails Progressing Finely for
Production of Pageant

People are manifesting much more
interest in the pageant rehearsals
and the dances and choruses are
well filed although more voices are
needed for the chorus which ought
to be very large to go with the or
chestra. Letters have been receiv-
ed from many different persons ask
ing about the pageant. A prominent
manufacturer who has seen English
pageants but none in America has
written Mr.. Langdon asking about
hotel accommodations for himself
and wife, either in St. Johnsbury or
a neighboring town. On Thursday
the costume sketches will be display
ed at Berry Balls and on Saturday
at Leach e Waterman's.
The piano was moved to the pa
geant grounds on Thursday and a
temporary shed erected over it to
protect it from the weather. 1t is
used now in rehearsals for the
dances and chorus.
The costume committee will be
at the Academy on Friday evening
from seven to nine and every after
noon this week, except Wednesday.
Children must come and get their
costumes as the committee must de-
vote themselves to the historic Co.'S
tunes. Mrs. LangdOn and the COM
mittee will advise as to the period
and how to remodel costumes to
adapt them to the required period.
The committee will not assume any
responsibility as to the making or
purchasing material, however.
Among other parts which have
been assigned are the following: Sir
No Tos 1na nh Drnf
Fairbanks; Dr. Leonard Worcester,
Rev. G. H. Merrill; Hubbard Law
renee, the first moderator of the
town, Rev. Edward T. Fairbanks;
Rev. Luther Jewett, Elisha May
America, Mrs. Anna S. Cross; Knight
of st. Johnsbury, Frank H. Brooks;
st. John de Crevecoeur, Rev. G. w.
G. Hill; Judge Poland, J. r. Searles.
Miss Bingham will have charge of
the church episode.
A special committee has been ap-
pointed to interest all merchantA
and townspeople to decorate their
stores and residences during pageant
week and it is hoped that all will
do what they can towards this end.
1t is expected that many thousand
visitors will be here to see the pa
geant and the townspeople general
| ly can do some very effective work
in making our streets present gala
| appearance.
Postal card notices for the pageant
chorus rehearsal this Wednesday
evening at 500 in Academy hall
have been sent out as generally as
possible by the committee in charge.
Anyone not receiving one of these
will please consider him and herself
cordially invited to join the chorus
without further notice. Remember
the time and place.

cue by the same man helped Lacasse
to second from where he scored on
another error. Littleton made it
three in the fifth when G.. Perry and
G. Langley scored on one hit, two
errors and two sacrifice hits. Neither
team did any more until the ninth.
when w. Perry got a life on Cum
m1ngs' wild throw and was helped
around by single and a wild throw.
In the tenth the visitors forged to the
front when Smythe's error let Leva-
than on. He stole second and was
advanced on hits by Morris and
Bruso. Morris followed him around
the circuit with the only earned run
by the visitors. He reached first on
an infield hit and stole second from
where he scored on Goodies single.
IL was Lavasseur's chance to win the
game over again and when Connor
reached second after a force out the
smiling pitcher leaned against one
that went into deep center for two
bags. He scored on Lacasse's single
and again the teams were play
ing on even terms. In the next three
innings both teams had men on bases
but both pitchers refused to get rat
tied and the sides were retired in
order. In the fourteenth Connor
started with his fourth hit and rest
ed on first. Lavasseur came up chew
ing the same wisp of hay and took a
swing at the first one. Another was
sent over the same place and the re-
sounding crack was assurance to the
crowd that he had done the trick.
The game was the longest ever play

FAVOR HIRED SECRETARY
Executive Committee of Commercial
Club Recommends Employ
ment of One


ment of One
At the regular meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Commercial
Club at the st. Johnsbury House
last Wednesday noon the matter of
employing a paid secretary for the
club was discussed. The special
committee has found a man who has
had a large amount of practical ex-
perience who can be secured for
about $4,000 a year. Three business
firms have promised if this man
could be secured to contribute $500.
The committee thought the business
men should be canvassed further to
see if more would not contribute
toward the salary and voted to rec
ommend to the club that it employ
a secretary and the club pay not to
exceed 5000 toward his salary.
The matter of eliminating the two
crossings above the Center by bridg-
ing the Passumpsic above the blind
crossing and building the highway
on the east side of the river was
discussed and a plan of the changes
shown by H. H. Carr. Everyone
present was in favor of doing away
with these crossings. 1t is estimated
that the bridge and foundation would
cost about $4,000 and the culvert
over the brook in the meadow be-
tween $1,000 and $1,400. Then
there will be the expense of building
the highway. No action was taken
on the matter.
