JUDGE MOULTON
NAMES FRYE
RECEIVER
To Wind Up Affairs of
Old Lyndon Park
Association

An unusual case came up for
consideration before Judge Shcr-
man r. Moulton in Caledonia
county court Wednesday. 1t was
that of Joseph T. Gleason of Lyn-
donville against the Lyndon Park
Association. The bill in chancery
was filed February 28, 1922.
Judge Gleason is one of the
stockholders of the association at
Lyndonville that owned the trot-
ting park whore races and fairs of
the Northern Caledoni aassociatiOn
were successfully held for many
years. About - years ago the as
sociation became inactive, the
park meetings were discontinued,
and failed to elect officers or
hold meetings. 1t was discovered
sometime ago that there was some
real estate belonging to the aaso-
citation and quite substantial
sum was on deposit at the Lyndon
savings bank to the credit Of
Charles Folsom, the last treasurer
Of the association. Mr.. Folsom
made this deposit in March 1894.
He died several years ago.
The present action is for the
purpose of closing up the affairs
of the company and distributing
such proceeds rs there may be
among the present stockholders.
There are no known debts out
standing. The assets consist of
equity in real estate over the title
in which there is some question
and the bank deposit, which, with
interest added, now amounts to
$725.69.
Judge Moulton, after hearing
the motion of Mr.. Glcason's lttor-
ney, Guy w. Hill, granted the pc
tition for the appointment Of re-
ceiver to settle up the company's
affairs, and appointed Deputy
County Clerk c. G.. Frye, who
qualified for the position.
The Lyndon Park association
was first organized October 80,
1877, with capital Of $1,000, and
these original stockholders, every
one of whom have been dead sew

BARTON TO
CELEBRATE
ON JULY 4
Fairbanks VS.. Newport
Game Feature of ALL
Day Celebration

Barton is to have big celebra
tion on the Fourth of July. There
will be street parade, baseball
game between Newport and the
Fairbanks A. A. of st. Johnsbury
races under the auspices of the
| Glover Driving Club, athletic con-
tests, band concerts and fireworks.
Great preparations have been
made to make the day the biggest
event in recent years in Barton.
1t is safe to say that $4,000 people
from all parts of Northeastern
Vermont will join Barton in its
big celebration
The parade will start from the
Boston and Maine freight depot
promptly at $50 o'clock going to
the Fair Grounds where the
Judging of the floats and cars will
be done. The Orleans and Bar
ton bands will be in the parade.
Amy car or truck in Orleans coun-
ty is invited to take part in the
parade and the prizes will be as
follows: first, $75; second, $50
t$hird, $25, for the best decorated
car or truck.
For the first time this season St.
Johnsbury and Newport will meet
at the Fairgrounds at 10 a. m, for
baseball game. All who know
the keen rivalry between these two
teams know that it will be a real
game to the finish. Manager
Charles Hoelnle will take up his
strongest team, and will probably
pitch Clarence Witty, the pitching
ace, who was such a puzzler to the
Newport players last year. New
port is back in the game with as
strong a team rs it had last year
and when the old rivals meet again
there is bound to be a baseball
game that will be classic.
st. Johnsbury players will have
just returned from a four day trip
to Plattsburg and Saranac Lake
where they will meet the strong
teams of Northeastern New York
State. They will be just primed
for a game with Newport on neu-
trail grounds.
At II a. m, comes the races of
the Glover Driving club for
purse of $100.' 1t will be for the
best two heats out of three over
the half mile track with six
starters.

the republican ideal in Europe has been in a state of arrested develop ment. They admitted that in the American continent the example set by the North American Colonies in 1I76 had gradually spread over both North and South, but they said that Europe was too conservative to fol- low that lead, and especially that the Three Emperors' were too firmly set to be dfsesta blished.
