ORLEANS NEW P0ST0FFICE.
Except for a little interior decorat
ing and the placing, of a few office
fixtures, work on the new furnishings
and rooms for the Orleans post office
is now complete. This is one of the
finest equipped postoffices in northern
Vermont and now bas over .1400 feet of
floor space. The lobby has been en
larged to more than twice its original
size and has two direct entrances from
the street. Along the entire side
extends the case work, which is in
golden quartered oak, velvet finish.
The case commencing at the right as
you enter has a window for registry and
postal savings, next the money order
wnidow and in about the center the
general delivery window. Toward the
left side is the stamp window and the
parcels post delivery, which is a com-
Dination of window and door. In the
right hand corner is the letter drop
box and just below this the naDer box
while at the end of the case is the
parcels post receiving box. The case
contains 250 call boxes, 150 lock boxes,
40 medium size lock boxes and ten
large lock drawers. There are two
desks finished like the case work for
the convenience of patrons, a large
bulletin board and a small glass en
closed bulletin for postoffice notices,
in the lobby. Back of this case, is the
small and fully-equipped office of the
postmaster, at the right of which is
the general mailing room with its every
modern appliance, including desks,
adding machines, typewriters and other
accessories. There is a 20-bag capacity
pouch rack, which very much facili
tates the handling of outgoing mail,
the stamping table and a new type R.
F. D., table from which the R. F. D.
carriers are able to handle their mail
in the least possible time and with
very little labor. The stamp case is a
double drawer combination which
permits two persons to work wholly
independent of each other and tends
to correct and quick work. There are
filing cabinets, slip cabinets, form
cabinets, and in fact, about every
known accessory to facilitate the
issues of a large postoffice. The office
is also equipped with two safes. In
about the center of this large room is
the primary sorting case, at which the
incoming mails are first sorted as to
routes, etc., and from the other side of
which local mail is handled to the 450
boxes. A separate entrance for incom
ing mails and a rear exit for R. F. D.
carriers to their ' teams back of the
post office is provided. It ought to
be known that the Orleans postoffice
is one ot the two second-class post-
offices in Orleans county, the other
being in Newport, and that last year
showed, . gross sales in excess of
$14,000. There are only 'twenty-five
second-class postoffices in the entire
state and only four first-class offices,
therefore, it will be seen that the post
office here is among the largest in Ver
mont. In fact the salaries will this
year be something near $9,000 paid to
this single postoffice. The office is
efficiently "managed by the postmaster,
A. G. Baird, the assistant, Miss-Marion
Ordway, and Harry Bassett and Fred
Donaldson, all of whom are competent
and obliging. This additional space
and new arrangements, with, all its
accessories will make it in every
sense, except by name, a first-class
postoffice and one of which the village
may well be proud.
ORLEANS BRAVES TAKE BOTH.
Orleans fully made up for the loss of
their game with Sherbrooke by making
it two straight last week. The first
game was at Newport Thursday, when
by playing airtight ball, they defeated
the Newport team by a score of 3-1, in
a game replete with good fielding and
more of,their heavy stick work. Ber
nard Lee pitched for Orleans and held
the Newport aggregation to six scat
tered hits. H. J. Kennison started the
box work for Newport but in the
fourth Orleans got to him and put two
tallies across the rubber and in the
fifth inning A. Kennison relieved him
and pitched the last half of the game
in exceptionally good form, only one
tally being made off his delivery in the
seventh, when a costly error followed
by a hit sent the one run across. Or
leans, however, has been able to hit
the pill in all of its games and this
one at Newport was no exception.
They had eight hits to their credit, two
of them going for extra bases. The
ninth inning proved sensational, with
three on and only one out. Newport
had a heavy hitter at the bat and Lee
found himself in a position where he
was obliged to put them over or force
a run. Newport's man hit the ball
hard and it looked as though at least
one run must result, but Morris Bren
nan, who has been out of the game all
season, made a wonderful running
catch, and as the next man was an easy
; out, much credit is due him for a good
put-out at a very opportune time. His
stick, too, helped contribute to the
tally for Orleans. Lee' s pitching
throughout the game was a feature
and except for the above-mentioned
ninth inning Newport was at no time
dangerous. The score by innings :

Orleans is now up against its series
of three games at the Orleans county
fair,' one of which is being played
today with St. Johnsbury, and tomor
row we play North Troy, Friday, Sher
brooke. The supporters of the Orleans
team this year have good reason to be
proud of their local aggregation, and
no matter what the results of this
series they should have the support of
the local fans. We hope they will win
them all, we will be perfectly satisfied
if they get two of the three, and we
won't cuss if they have to take the
short end.
The game with Lyndonville Saturday
on local grounds was a decidedly one
sided affair. Ted Lee worked in the
box for Orleans and except for a fail
ure to locate the plate at times, caused
in a great measure from the wet
grounds and a slippery pitcher's box,
was very effective. Orleans, however,
found no difficulty in hitting Laveley,
the Lyndonville man, when he hap
pened to locate the plate, but his as-

much difficulty int. preventing from
going over the grandstand. The first
inning tallied five runs for Orleans and
after that, the boys played a loose
game, both the infielders and the outer
garden men, doing several "after you
Alphonse" stunts. Harold Bassett
did some good back stop work, and
Harry Bassett at third put up a good
game. Only five and a half innings
were played as Lyndonville team had
to catch the train, and the game was
very slow in starting. In fact this
criticism of Orleans not starting their
games on scheduled time has been the
only adverse criticism we have heard
this, season and frankly we do think
that it tends to hurt your crowds, when
the start has been delayed almost an
hour. Lyndonville put their only run
across in the third when by some good
hitting and an error they succeeded in
getting two men over. The score by
innings follows :
Welcome Awaits Return of "Quincy
Adams Sawyer."
Now and then the theatre-goer finds
a play that he would rather see again
than an entirely new one. Such plays
are not written very often but once in
a great while they make their appear
ance and they live on for many years.
Quincy Adams Sawyer," the great
rural drama success, which is remem
bered as a most decided hit when seen
here before, is a play that one has a
taste for seeing again, and its return
at the opera hall, Aug. 29, will be
hailed with genuine delight. It is fully
expected that this New England play.
dramatized from Mr. Pidgin's widely
read book of the same name, will prove
even more popular this time than
before. The sweet and pure country
atmosphere that pervades the play,
the naturalness of the scene and the
wholesome gooa-nature or tne many
amusing scenes these are the qualities
that are pleasing the immense audi
One great attrac
tion the play seems to possess for most
theatre goers is the fact that it is
entirely different from all other coun
try plays that have ever been present
ed. It seems to nave establisned a
new school in the bucolic drama, as it
were.

"A Girl of the Mountains," Lero B.
Parker's new version of his successful
four-act society drama, which comes
