The College Quartette left town
Monday, and what they did that eve-
ming may be learned from the following
from tho Rutland Herald and Globe OF
Tuesday morning: "The Middlebury
College Quartet arrived in Rutland yes
terday Oh their way to the seashore.
Last evening they made serenading
tour through the village, calling at the
residences of f.. II. Temple, j. b. Page,
Geo. ii. Cheney, II. +. Field, Geo. A.
Merrill, A. Ii. Tuttle, w. Y. w. Rip
ley and w. L. Ross. The club is CON-
posed of VIM. ii. Sheldon, LIST tenor;
b. F. Churchill, End tenor; Z. X. Brain
erd, LIST bass; G.. 5. Murkland 2nd bass
The young men are gentlemen, possess
excellent voices and furnish delightful
music, both in solo and concert. They
sang several selections at each
place they visited and were received
with merited applause. The Young
men are on their way to Saratoga, Al
bany, New York, Boston and the sea-
side resorts, where they propose to give
concerts ut convenient points, having
good programme arranged for that pur-
pose. They will travel around the
shore in their own chartered yacht, and
we predict a pleasant welcome for them
at all points where they make them
selves heard. The club were the guests
of Geo. f. Graves while in town."
Prof Higley has since joined them, and
without doubt the Quintette will cut
quite swell in their wanderings and
return covered with glory.
The revived interest in foot-racing
in town eliminated on Tuesday in sew
eral astonishing exhibitions of speed.
The first was about four O'Clock in the
afternoon "a single dash across the
bridge, from one sick bridge sign-board
to the other, which signs were thus
recklessly disregarded. The runners
were Prof. Cobb and Levi Goodro won
by Cobb, with Goodro an extremely
bad second, with two sprained wrists
and bad looking knee which DIR. Rus
sci says will be all right In a couple of
weeks. This was the result of q fine
exhibition of lively tumbling given by
Mr.. Goodro when about half way across,
at which Cobb unsociably left him.
A brilliant assembly of youth and
small boys gathered at the fair ground
in the evening to witness some races
there. The first was q half mile dash,
tor purse of dollars; five starters.
This was won by Cookie Forest in three
and quarter minutes, which is pretty
good time for boy twelve years old;
Master Huntington second, Henry
Moore third, Willie Ellis fourth, little
Gee distanced.
The next was halt mile open to all,
with five starters; purse the same as in
the previous race. Frank Buckley,
Simon Madigan, Levi Goodro, Willie
Nugent and Fred. Markham took part.
Goodro showed up lame at the quarter
and was drawn; Markham concluded
that he was not cut out for racer, and
stopped. The race was won by Madi-
gan in 2:20. The races, especially the
first, afforded considerable fun.
