RAMBLED DER THE FIELD.
Burlesque Soccer Players Furnished
Much Entertainment.

| The burlesque game of soccer football
held under the auspices OF the Barre
Rangers and the Bonaccord clubs at the
Berlin street grounds late yesterday aft
iernoon for a special benefit was an even
aerater success than was anticipated.
The scientific game was conspicuous by
its absence Tie hordes of players en-
tertained an especially large audience
for nearly two hours with their ridie-
Iulous and funny antics. The teams were
selected from the Rangers and Bonaecord
clubs assisted by large corps of reserves.
The contest ended with an equalized
score, 2 all. During the time allotted
for the game the funmakers were in
their element and extracted laugh after
laugh from the gallery of spectators,
who were loud in their praise of the un-
dertaking
The players assembled in the Clan
Gordon rooms shortly after o'clock. |
Headed by the Milne and Sims band
about forty players, costumed in ludi-
crous make-ups, such as clowns, brun-
cites. hoboes, policemen, negroes,
Uhlands, Cossaeks, Yiddishers, cowboys,
etc, marched through the main thorough
fare to Berlin street. A large crowd fol-
lowed in the wake of the players. Inn
mediately on arriving at the grounds the
hall was set in play by Harry Gordon,
who acted as referee. His decisions
were never questioned and he handled
the players with a vigorous hand.
Shortly after the ball was set in play
the captains of the two teams called on
reserves. who rushed into the field of
action. AT certain intervals it is es-
timated that forty players were
participating in the contest, probably
a feat that will be entered as a record
for the game of soccer football.
Financially the game was one of the
biggest successes ever undertaken bv
local footballsts. The committee from
the Rangers and Bonaccord clubs worked
in conjunction to make the affair sue
cessful.

Someone aseein, Things

The Orleans County Monitor appeared
in red war paint last week against the
very apparent triple alliance in the Re
publican party OF Vermont, Clement
Dillingham; Dunnett." 1t gives as con-
elusive evidence of the alliance these
statements;
''Mr. Clements paper, the Rutland Her
aid, early came out for Dillingham; and
last week approved in laudatory terms
the candidacy of Mr.. Dunnett.
That Dunnett is for Dillingham; has
been made plain to those in conversa-
tion with Mr.. Dunnett. That MIR. Dill
lingham favors Clement and Dunnett
goes without saying"
"That Mr.. Dillingham; favors Clement
and Dunnctt" will have to so without
saying" if truth is to be spoken, Sen.
Dillingham's county will undoubtedly
send solid delegation in support OF
John w Gordon for Congress which will
not be much help TO MIR. Dunnett. There
is no evidence whatever that Sen. Dill
lingham favors or is promoting in any
way the candidacy of Mr.. Clement for
the govcrnorship. Mr., Dunnett will not
be found involved in the senatorial fight
in any way As for AIR. Clement it is
true that his paper fayors the reelection
Of Sen. Dillingham; and has spoken in
favorable terms OF MIR. Dunnett. But it
did so without promise or intimation OF
support of these men in his candidacy
In fact Mr.. Clement had not decided to
become candidate for the governor
ship when his paper announced its sup
port OF Mr. Dillingham;.
The evidence OF the Monitor is not
1t is no evidence at all. If it
Is anything il Is the vaporings Of Porter
H. Dale, who has been "seein' things" OF
late. Neither Sen. Dillingham; nor Mr..
Clement has had word with Mr.. Dun
nett The weakness OF Mr.. Dsle's can
iidacy is shown by the baseless charge
ne and his supporters are making against
Mr.. Dunnett.--St. Johnsbury Caledonian.

federal Judge and made application for
receiver.

present. When the hour arrived there
were three sets of creditors, the bankers
who held the company's paper, mer-
chants who had furnished materials to
the company, and the third the Vermont
farmers, without wh0fa there would
have been no business. After quite
lengthy argument by Mr.. Sturteyant the
court announced that receivers would be
appointed and that there would be three
of them MIR. Bicknell was appointed
to look after the interests of the Yer
mont farmers. The liabilities of the
are said to be over 100000.

entire population Of Europe Mr.. Hooker
and other members Of the commission
were in Paris. There they witnessed
manifestations of the first panicky feel
ing occasioned by the imminency Of war
between France and Germany. Before
they had left the French capital for Ant
werp, the feeling had subsidized into
grim determination to resist the Ger
mans to the bitter end.
The commission reached Antwerp in
time 20 hear the bell in the city cathedral
sound for the mobilization of Belgian
troops Afterwards the party proceeded
to Ostend, and thence 20 Dover, where
they crossed the English channel and
engaged trans Atlantic accommodations
on the Mauretania. The English gov

earlier design. They arrived in New

the party was in the front guard Of
thousands Of American tourists who
hastily left the continent when hostil-
ities broke out Otherwise the trying
experiences which they experienced would
have been greatly augmented.
