CENTENNIAL ,
CELEBRATION
GRAND SUCCESS
Orleans Closes Gala Time
with Religious Services
and Historical Addrcss
The four day Centcnnial Cclcbra
tion held in Orleans in observancc of
the lOOth anniversary of the founding
of that villane closed offlciallv Sun
day evening. The conccnsus o opin
ion among thosc who werc fortunate
cnough to bc able to attend the "big
time" is that it was the most success
ful event ol its kind from every
standpoint that Orleans County has
ever had.
lt isn't often that a community
ot the size ol Orleans puts on a cx-lc-bration
of such magnitudo as the one
just ended there and carnes lt
through with ovcrwhelming success.
But the pcople in Orleans are real

thing they leave nothiner undonc to

a wonderful example ot fine com
munity spirit in this village and that
is one of the main reasons why such
a fine Urne was enjoyed by everyonc
there. , , , . ,
The record crowd of the whole four
days was on hand Friday evening
and most ot the 6,000 pcople that
were in the village. this night nacked
into Postoffice Square in an effort to
witness the M instici Show and listen
to the band concert. However, Satur
day's crowd was very nearly as largo
as that of Friday's.
The big fnature of Saturday s pro
gram was the Street parade in the
forenoon. Thi.; portion of the pro
gram far surpassed anythin? of its
kind ever held in Orleans and cor
llorl anv narade ever con-
durted in the county. Very nearly
50 floats, decorated automobiles and
other vehicles participated and ali of
,AMfltiT)ict:s made a fine impressori
"""""with the spcctators.
In awarding the prizes, the iudg
cs, Dr. Charles Buchanan of Read
ing, Vt., George W. Russell of Iras
burg and Harley T. Seaver of Bar
ton, did some very excellent woik.
Thcir's was a most difficult task be
cause of the fact that there were so
many real artistically decorated ve
hicles. The decisions made by these
three mcn carne after consideralo
time had been spent in goingtovr each
and every contestant very carefully
and there is no rjuestion but what
everyonc was complctcly satisfied
with the final awards.

LONDON, Aug. 30 Terranee Mc
Sweency, lord mayor of Cork, was
sliirhtly better today than yesterday
when he sueffred a scrious collapse.
He rallied during the night and it
was stated at Brixton jail that the
end would not come for 30 hours
more at least. Today was the ISth

no good, the prison doctor informed
Mrs. Macsweeney today when she
visited hcr husbànd. A change for
the worse might come at any time in
the next 24 hours it was said at the

her but was unable to speak. Mrs.

Dandelion Wine
Dandelion wine, a forni of home
brew peculiar to Vermont, comes un
der the ban of the Volstcad act, ac
cording to an interpretation of the
law given to Statc's Attorney E. W.
Gibson of Windham county by John
r." k'i-nmur of WiLsliincton. I). C.. fed
erai prohibition commissioner." Mr.
kramers ruiing is as ionows:
"The national prohibition act pro
hibits the manufacture and sale of
nnv hpvprap-p with an alcoholic con-
tent of one-half of one per cent or
more, and no exception is made to
the manufacture of wine in the home.
Wine may be lawfully manufactured
for pprtjiin recocnized non-beveraee
purposes as set forth in article 2 of
vornilatinnii fio. conv of which is en-
closed hcrewith. It appears, therefore
that if a beverage is maae irom aan

h.AÌf nf nnp npr rnnt. or more, of al
limo, it would constitute
a direct violation of the act and the
vjolation would be subject to prose

Victory
Flairbanks A. A. easily defeated the
Barre A. A. on the campus Saturday
afternoon by a score of 5 to 3 in a
rather loosely played game of ball.
The visitors had in the box Beaton,
a man that pitched about two innings
against the Berlin team a few weeks
ago and had to be yanked on account
of his wildness, and the sanie troublc
effected him, so that after the locals
had him in a hole many times he
was forced to giovo one that the
locals hit many times effectivcly.
The locals had in the box Polli,
who pitched for them at Sherbrooke
Saturday last, and although a little
shaky at the beginning ot the game,
he was in no danger tor tne ìasi se-
en innings.
Davidson at thnd, although ne
booted one, played a snappy game,
tipiHps rumine in a clean two bagger
and Woods' hit to deep center was
one of the cleancst seen lor a long
time. Gormley turned in two clean

getting a good catch in the field,
while Connor got two at the bat, and
had a perfect day in the field.
Barre started in getting tnem ngni
in the first inmng. Peduzzi, the first
man un ctnnnpfl nnp with his should-
er was advanced to second by Stuart
with a saenfice. Newton gol on
when Davidson booted one, allowing
PoHii77Ì tn move to third. On the
npvt hiill nitrhed Newton went to
second and both scored when Camolli
hit one fpr two bases to left.
In the second inning after one out
Swan was hit by the pitcher. Gorm-
ey, the next man up, got a suini;

hit one that the shortstop booted, al
lowing both Swan and Gormley to
score. Connor, the next man up, got
a hit that advanced Polli to third.
Connor stole second and on the play
;or him Polli went home. ooas
then got a three ba.gger that scored
Connor. Davidson flied to second for'
he third out.
In thp fnnrth innincr St. Johnsbury
added another when Gormley got a
base on balls, was advanced to sec
ond by Slayton's sacrifice, advanced
to third on a passed ball, and scored
on Connor's hit.
In thp fift.h inninir Davidson start
ed with a two bagger, was advanced
to third on Freeman's hit, but was
unable to score as the three next
men were retired in order.
Umpire Tinker who officiated, was
way off on some of his decisions. In
one inning, he sent one man to first
on three balls and retired another on
two strikes. Evidently his indicator
was out of order.
The game was played before a
fairly large crowd, that could be
rated as a large crowd if those that
attended Jthe game by sitting on the
freight cars and lumber piles of the
ball ground would bave paid their 35
cents and come in and watched the

NEW YORK, Aug. 30 More than
one million Brooklyn workers return
ed to imprpvised inethods of con
veyance today because of the strike
of the employees of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Co., which tied up its.
subways, trolleys and elevated. Hunr
dreds of business houses had trucks
canvass the homes of their employees
but these failed to accommodate the
thousands of empjoyees in offìces that
could furnish no such luxuries.
Officials of the company announced
they would run as many trains as
nnih1p todav and would cmploy
strike breakers. Six chartered steam
boats and two rolice boats were put
into service to carry passengers from
Tnnpv Tsland and East River noints.
Thp ritv had more than 500 motor
husjsps in oneration because of the I
jam of vcnicular traffìc during the
early rush hours. The Brooklyn,
Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges
over the east river were made one
way thoroughfares.

Little Girl Read the Calc-donian-Record
and the
Property Is Restored
S. R. Schwertz of Johfietta, Penn.,
can testify that it pays to advertise
in the Caledonian-Record and he can
also appicciate the honesty of little
June Rita Somers. The little girl
found on upper Railroad street about
two weks ago a diamond ring, a
'carneo and a pair of glasses and at
once began to read advertising col
umns of this paper to see who might
have lost the nroperty. Last week her
scardi was rewarded as the Pennsyl
vania party who were touring New
England advertised their loss and
asked to have the jewelry returned to
the office of the Northern Cadillac
Company. The little girl read the ad
vertisement, took the property to the
garage and Manager Wakeficld has
bent the valuables to their owner.
After the articles were lost Mr.
Schwartz placed an advertisement in
several papers hoping some one
would read the adv. and as a liberal
reward is offered June Somers is likc
ly to receive a handsome return for
her honesty. The value of the ring
alone exceeded $1,000.
