OVER S645 NETTED
BY BASEBALL BAZAAR
Indebtedness of Association Reduced
More than Half-Announceme
Made This Morning.

The management of the recent bazaar
for the benefit of the Brattleboro Base
ball association was able to report this
morning the net results of the venture
as $654.95, which reduces the indebted
ness of the association by more than
% per cent. The final figuring of the
net returns has been slow, because of
the necessity of getting IN all of the
bills and all of the receipts from wide
ly separated sources.
The management of the bazaar is de-
sirous of extending thanks to all those
who patronized the bazaar or aided in
making it the success it was and es-
2ecialiy are the thanks Of the manage
ment extended for various favors to
