It goes without saying that among the
young men of our clty, includlng those who
will soon return home from school and col
lego for the summer vacation, there is ex
cellont material for a hlgh-grade baae-ball
team. In view of thls, steps wlll be taken
In the near future to learn what eubstantlal
encourigement may be olfered for such a
team, if one should be organlzed. It ls the
hope of promoters of the scheme that ar
rangements can bo made for a lease ot the
Langdon meadow and that the gato receipts
may be counted upon to cover all expense
beyond that of organlzation and original
equipment. Gamea could doubtless be ar
ranged wlth St. Albans, Bristol and other
Vermont towus which already have suc
cexsful nlnes, and Montpelier, which ac
knowledges no successtul rival in general
progressiveness, ought not to be behlnd
othor towns in the matter of such whole
aome entertalnment as thls project assures.
