 The new schedule for passengers and mail trains of the Central Yer mont Railway, which became effective last Monday, resulted in the difficulty expected by the manufacturers and business men in getting mail out on the last northbound train, which ar rives at PIP under the new schedule. It is expected that a petition will be circulated among the business men and manufacturing firms urging some other method for later mail. There is little doubt that the petition will be signed by practically all of the business men and manufacturers. The matter will probably have to be taken up with either the railway officials in Washington or Boston. If possible the Connecticut company may handle the mails, or they may be taken by automobile to Springfield. The fact that the town is operating under stan dard time also adds to the difficulties of the situation.

The stunts and playlets came next and they drew laugh after laugh from the crowd. Malcomb Beckwith told many jokes and rendered a few songs, accompanied by his sister, Miss Char lotte Beckwith. Next came a school room scene with "Bill' Ladish as teacher and Frank Johnson, Jordon Charter and Bernard Mullins as schol- ars. This act was exceptionally funny and the crowd were in an uprOar until it's finish. It was followed by a hu- morous act by Henry Pease as a dar- kie preacher. Next came the Ha- waiian troop led by Frank Johnson and cOmnOSpd 0f sETrin' Eillinpham
