w. II. Ellis has sold out his eating
saloon In Dyer's block to w. ii. Del
mege, who is quite we'll known and
has many friends In this vicinity. He
has been for some years landlord of the
Webster House at the we'll known
summer resort, Woods Hole, In Massa-
chusetts. The fact that he knows how
to keep hotel Is q guarantee that his
patrons in his new business will not
suffer at his hands. He proposes to
keep first.class temperance;saloo and
not resort for loafers. Mr.. Ellis has
of late made the saloon a respectable
place, and orr citizens will be glad to
know that Its character will not be
changed for the worse.
Wednesday morning Q spirited
horse from Cornwall, frightened by a
bicycle on the bridge, turned around
and was only prevented from running
by the pluck Of the driver, who was
dragged on the ground several yards
before the horse was stopped. The ve-
hicle, skeleton, was somewhat broken.
These bicycle riders have got to be
careful or their fascinating vehicles will
get into disfavor with horse owners.
However, II would not be too much to
ask of drivers Of horses which they
have reason to fear will be seriously
frightened by the bicycle, to give the
rider of the latter come signal, like rails
ing the hand, so that he may dismount
In time to avert trouble. There are
three bicycles in the village now, and
there will probably be more of them
soon.
On Tuesday afternoon there were
races ON the fair ground track between
o fewhorses from different towns In this
vicinity. From the symptoms that were
apparent to every one. the horses came
out in each heat about as was intend
cd at tho beginning. Consequently the
only interest attaching to 1t was reused
by speculation as to whose money was
being extracted by the little game. In
the refreshment shanty an active trade
In bottled drinks was carried on, and
the condition of some of those ON the
ground Indicated supply of something
stronger than root beer. A man had q
rouge ct noir table in operation and
some of our local sports "bucked the
tiger" entirely to the portly proprietor's
satisfaction. These violations of law
went on under the nose of an officer of
the law who was on the ground but who
seemed to think them oil proper and
right. This is q queer place In some
respects. y,
The growing list of college publ
cations receives worthy addition in
"Middlebury College and Its Sur
roundings," handsome volume Of
Photographic scenes and descriptive
verse by r. M. Bailey, ~, and J. G.
Harvey, 'S1. The photographs en-
brace views of the college buildings
and the town and neighborhood, one
Of the lOveliests spots in Vermont, and
each picture is accompanied by an ap-
pirate verse by Mr.. Harvey, full Of
delicate sentiment in graceful language
which possesses much of the easy flow
of Goldsmith's lines. The book is
really unique in plan and execution,
and Is so prettily gotten up that it will
doubtless be heartily welcomed by the
alumni Of the college which has done
so much In the last eighty years to
shape the thought Of Vermont, and
which numbers among her children SO
many of our leading men. -[Spring-
