Return Of Washington Excursionlsts.

Sixty members of the high school
Washington party arrived in Brattleboro
Friday night at 11.45 after enjoying six
days in Washington, Philadelphia and

during the week. All tell many interest
ing stories of their visit.
The party arrived in Washington about
two hours late in a pouring rain, but
covered automobiles from the Metropol
tan hotel were waiting for them. The
eather was cool the greater part of the
time. 1t was too cold Monday for the
expected automobile ride around the city,
so the Washington monument, bureau of
engraving and printing, Smithsonian In
stitution and other places were visited
That evening the party attended the
Belasco theatre and were there when
the President with his family and mill
tary aides came in. The orchestra
played The Star-Spangled Banner" and
the audience stood until the President
was seated. Tuesday and Wednesday
were spent in sight seeing and on Wed

Everyone was called from sumber at
$50 Thursday morning. At 10 o'clock
Philadelphia was reached and the party
visited Independence hall and the mint
and had luncheon. New York city was
reached at 4 o'clock and after dinner the
Hippodrome was the centre of attraction.
On Friday morning an automobile trip
was taken around the upper part of the
city, Central Park, Grants tomb and

the train left the metropolis at o'clock
a terrific thunder shower broke over the
city and the electric train was halted

Northampton Wants to Come Into Our
LEAGUE.

p. j. Foley, who made a hit in the
Twin State league towns as umpire last
season. has asked that the baseball
team of Northampton be taken into the
league this season. Mr.. Foley would
manage the team. A league meeting is
to be held within a few days and the
application will be acted upon. Those
in Greenfield who are interested in hav-
ing team from that town represented
in the league are making efforts toward
securing a field and a report from them
is expected within a short time. If
Greenfield cannot come in because of
inability to get a field Northampton
surely will be admitted. There is some

has been given recent dispatches from
Washington that the new ticket sent
broadcast names William Jennings
Bryan and United ?tates Senator

mans son-inlaw was in Richmond
with Governor Wilson when the lat

Assembly. and OF all Wilson boosters
who have come down the pike there
is none to equal Senator O'Gorman's
son-in-law. So It Is natural to as
sumo that Senator OGorman does not
think so highly Of being the tail end
of the Bryan ticket. especially when
he is advocating the New Jersey can

No matter how the fight may go
elsewhere, no matter what returns
might come from the preferential pri-
