The unexpected change in the date
of the interseholastic track meet at

the Glover league baseball schedule
was arranged, and the postponement
of the game between Bellows Falls and

have not been Strengthened out BY any
means.
The baseball game scheduled for sat
urday, May Is, between Brattleboro
high and Vermont academy at Saxtons
River, has been changed to Saturday,
May %. An effort is being made to
get Keene to change the date for the
game which is scheduled for next
Wednesday at Brattleboro, but this
may not be possible owing to the
scarcity of open dates. Some arrange
ment is vet to be made for the game
with Bellows Falls scheduled for sat
arday, which the rain prevented being
Ipl0yed
As the schedule now stands the i'm

VILLAGE MAY SELL
ESTEY STEAMER
Price Named to Hartford village =
Deal Will Go Through if Steamer
Performs as Claimed.

r. E. Stevens of Hartford village
was in town last night with regard TO
buying one of the steamers owned by
the village of Brattleboro. Some
months ago Mr.. Stevens was here on
the same errand and obtained from the
commissioners price ON the Estey
steamer. Since then the voters of his
village have agreed to the proposition
and Mr.. Stevens was here to make the
proposition that the steamer be shipped
TO Hartford village at the expense of
that town and there tested to see if it
does what it is claimed it viii do The
commissioners undoubtedly will ship
the steamer in the near future.
Brattleboro owns three steamers and
two are kept in condition, the third
not having had water in the boiler for
some years. The Estey steamer had a
new boiler put in a few years ago.
