CLARKSVILLE.

— William Vanderbilt has a new motorcycle side car.

— Earl Salisbury, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oakley Salisbury, while riding his bicycle near the village recently, collided with an automobile driven by Willie Moak of Delmar. The boy was thrown through the windshield of the car, but escaped serious injury, sustaining only a few cuts and bruises.

VILLAGE NOTES.

— Alfred Young, who has been “laid up” with blood poisoning in his left hand since the first part of July, has nearly recovered and is slowly regaining the use of the hand. In consequence of his injury shoe repairing in Altamont has been laid aside temporarily.

— The baseball game which was scheduled for last Saturday did not take place, owing to the non-appearance of the Menands team. It is not known whether there will be a game this Saturday or not. It is a rather difficult matter to induce a team from the city to come to Altamont when it is impossible to guarantee them the payment of a part of their expenses. Baseball cannot be played without money, even with an all-home team in the field. If the fans of Altamont would show a little interest, dig up a few shekels and hand them over to the management, we could have some excellent games here. Until such a thing happens, there can be nothing doing in the way of good baseball.

— A motorcyclist was badly injured last Saturday night on the state road west of Guilderland Center. In attempting to turn out for a passing vehicle he lost control of his machine and was thrown off. He sustained a compound fracture of his left ankle. Dr. A. I. Cullen was called and the injured man was taken to the Albany City hospital. No one seemed to know the man’s name or where he comes from.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The parties that stole 7 or 8 pitchforks out of my barn Friday, Aug. 10, had better return them; if not I will have them arrested, for I know who they are. C. C. LaGrange, Slingerlands, N. Y.
