waa waltlng for the arrival of the Barre
contiDgent they were sbown tbrougb tbe

by tbe Electrlc Storaco Batterv Comnanv

use of tbeee, wben little power ls requlred
on tbe line tbe surplus ls atored, and wben

the retnrn trip was begun. Tho streets of
Barre wero packed witb peoplo wbo kept
up a continuous cbeerlng and wavlng of
ilags as tbe car passed along, Several

and although aome fears wero felt for the
