The BrattIebOro Races.

The trotting for the citizens purse on
the grounds of the Windham county park
association at Brattleboro on Wednesday
drew large crowd. The day was oppres-
sively sultry, but the track was in good
condition. Only three OF the five horses
entered for the first purse of 81 900, open
to all horses, came to the score, viz,
"Snow Flake" entered by Charles Tay-
Ter, "Col. Lakeman,' entered by E. l.
Allen, and "Sea Foam" entered by j. j.
Bowen. Betting was lively, "Sea Foam
being decidedly the favorte, and she won
the first money in three straight heats
time, 2.32 IA, 2.33 "a, aud 2.36 IA,
Lakeman being distanced on the third
heat. In the race for the second purse OF
$500, open to horses that had never beat
en- 2 40, there were seven entries, fonr oil
which answered the bell--"Westfeld Boy, ,
entered by T. 7. Sisson, "Jim Bludso,'
by William B. Dorm, commodore Mutt,
by J. n. Woodward, and "Springfielc
Boy" by NJ. II. King. "Commodor'

heats, "West6eld Boy" beiug second, anc
"Springfeld Boy" third ;-winner's time
2.43 IA, 2.45, and 241 IA. "Bludso'
was distanced on the first heat. This wa'
a very close race, "Commodore Mutt" anC
"Westfeld Boy" coming In at the finish o
the first heat nearly neck and neck. II
the third race, open to all horses that had
never beaten three minutes, there were Il
entries, but only seven horses started
"Jewell" took the first money, this like
the preceding races being won in three
straight heats time, 2 Al ID, 2.38 IL
and 2.37 ID. "Steyverson," entered by
S. T. Twitchell took the second money
and Lady Romp," entered by T. 4. Sis
son, the third. The driver of "Steyver-
son" was displaced on the third heat by
the judges on account of foul driving, and
E. G. Robinson of Springfield put in his
place. There was considerable feeling al
the result of the race, and bets were free
ly offered that 'Steyverson' would be more
than match for "Jewe" if properly driv-
en-. Taken as whole the races were the
most successful and interesting ever trot
ted on the Brattleboro grounds. The races
commenced at 2 p. M, and were concluded
before 6. Pool selling was new and live

was arrested after relieving a man from
Melrose, Mass of well filled wallet. The
Revere house dined over 400 persons, anc
probably suppered as many more. The

tertained to the full capacity of then
houses.

vho Vermont State Reform school,

Seldom, if ever, has tho State appro-
priated money for nobler purpose than
in the establishment of the institution
whose name heads this article. 1t meets
want long felt in the community.
There We're boys growing up in Vermont
who, for want of proper care and training,
were rapidly travelling the road to ruin.
Crimes were committed by these Juvenile
offenders that would consign them to the
State prison where, in constant contact
with men hardened in vice and crime,
they would soon develop into criminals
of the most dangerous character. The
State has wisely adopted plan which
combines reformatory discipline with
thorough instruction, and this plan has
teen successful beyond the most sanguine
expectations No corporal punishment
is used, except where all other means
fail. The boys are all taught usefal
trades. Idleness has no place among
them. The most perfect order, the most
exact discipline prevails in every depart
ment, and reaches to the minutest details
of every hours employment. In word
the boys know just what they have to do
from the morning call to the hour of re-
firing, and they do it with a ready cheer
fulness which shows that they feel that
everything required of them is really for
their good To enter into the minute de-
tails would require an article of much
greater length than il our present design,
but there are some things which we must
not omit to mention. From the moment
boy is received at the school, he is given
to understand that he has it in his power
to raise himself to an honorable position
by his faithfulness and good behavior. To
every one who by patient continuance in
well.doing for a specified time has won
the distinction, is awarded card of
"honor," and this card entities him to
certain privileges not accorded to others
There is thus a strong incentive to we'll
doing inspired in the minds of all, and
every effort is made to foster and develop
HtAG'ulSuNs ol LSFPCCA, " LCplScS CNSlJ
evil disposition and to develop that
which is good.
Many of these boys, coming from
scenes of vice and restitution, or neglect
ed and abused from infancy, have for the
first time in their lives found home
One of them writing to one of his former
comrades says to him, For heavens sake
steal something and come down here"
A few attempts have been made to run
away, but with a single exception they
have been recaptured, 'and have, in every
instance, by working during the hours
o recreation, paid back to the State the
cost of their capture and their lost time
The large, but plain and substantial
structure now being erected for their &C.
commodation, will, when completed, fully
meet the pressing wants of the institu-
tiop, and with the excellent system of
discipline and instruction that prevails, it
may be reasonably expected that in due
time the greater portion of those placed
there will be restored to the community
thoroughly reformed, and will ultimately
become useful and valuable citizens.
