her residence in Vermont, from 1873

Talk of Short Ship Races in
August Revived
This Week
GUARANTEE FUND
WOULD BE NEEDED
But Horsemen Say That Three-Day
Meet Would Break Even With Good
Weather - Open Date in Circuit
Schedule Following Greenfield.

The possibility that Brattleboro will
become a member of the Bay State
Short Ship racing circuit has been re-
vived since the meeting of horsemen in
Greenfield night before last, and a
move is now under way locally to raise
a sufficient guarantee fund to warrant
going ahead with plans for the event.
There is strong sentiment among
other towns and cities in the circuit
that Brattleboro should come in, and
now that the week of Aug. % is open
the arrangement would not be difficult
| This would make Brattleboro follow
the Greenfield races and precede those
scheduled at Woonsoeket, r. /.
| While there is no likelihood that the
! Valley Fair association will assume re
sponsibiEty for a summer race meet it!
officers are favorably disposed toward
| the plan and have informed local horse
men that they could have the use o.
the fairgrounds for nothing. 1t i:
thought that three day meet in Au
gust not only would help the fairgrounC
track but would serve as a reminde
of the fair itself and thus prove goo'
advertising.
To ensure local meet it would b
necessary to raise a guarantee fun'
equal to the greatest amount such a.
event might run behind in case of ba'
weather, which promoters in othe
towns say would not exceed $1,000 a
the outside. This might be done b.
securing 20 men to say they would G
into their pockets to the extent of So
apiece if necessary, or 40 men for hal
that amount The chance that the
would have to pay the whole amour
| would be an extremely remote one
: horsemen say, while with good weathe
! there is little likelihood that three
day meet Immediately following Green
field would more than pay expenses.

UNIONS AGAINST WOMEN.
English Suffragist Declares They
Thwart Employment of Women.

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Mrs. Henry
Fawcett, a widely known suffragist,
complains that the trade unions con-
stantly are opposing and thwarting the
employment of women, Notwithstanding
the fact that women stand for equal
pay for equal work. She told the
Women's Institute that the women
workers have been urged not to under
cut the men who were their comrades
in industry. She urged women to con-
stantly appeal to the most enlightened
members of all political parties for aid
in making women free in industry, as
they had become in politics.
