Of women, than is secured In these days of
frequent oulrages and abundant crime. We
pass these views over to the law makers for
their serious consideration.
The trouble about Canadian lumber, to
which reference has been made, grew out
of the alleged discovery by government
officers of the entry of resawed deals on Lake
Champlain at less measurement than they
should have entered Deals are three-inch
boards. These when split with thin saw
measure one and q half inches but are enter
ed at one and q quarter inches. When sawed
twice they measure seven eighth, but are en-.
tered as three-quarter inch. About 900 600
feet, 1t is claimed, have been thus entered at
loss Of about one-tenth measurement to the
Government, and the department has de-
cided to bring the measurement back to the
Old standard. On several cargoes the differ
ence has been cxacted and the owners re-
quired to pay duty on what the lumber ac-
tually measured The owners claim that the
lumber was bought by them and sold as an
inch and quarter, and therefore they should
be allowed to enter 1t as such.
There is probably no other time in the year
when the market is supplied with such va
ricty of vegetables and fruits as just at the
present time. The berries and early vegeta-
piSs nav hot wv uieuppeuicu- tnOuRu tncf
willprobably be gone in few days,-while
the fruits and late vegetables are just coming
in. Prices have also dropped considerably,
since our last market report Blueberries
are now selling at ten cents per quart, black
berries IL to 20. Currants are about gone.
Peaches sell at % to 30 cents per dozen.
Early apples range from rs cents TO 81.
per busliel, according to quality. Green corn
is arriving in considerable quantities, and
sells at 10 to 20 cents per dozen. Water
melons range anywhere from 35 cents to 10
cents. There have been few muskmelons,
but they are still too scarce and high priced
for general consumption. Potatoes have
dropped to $100 per bushcl. Tomatoes sell
at cents pound ; celery, IL cents head |;
turnips, 8 cents a bunch, young onions, 6;
cents bunch cabbages, cents per pound
cucumbcrs l2 to 25 cents dozen bananas
are getting scarce, though still selling at so

the same.

ready mentioned, another small shed will b,
erected cast of the main entrance, and there
viii DC eighteen additional booths under the
grand stand. The construction of all these
large. and handsome buildings, sheds, and
stands reflects the utmost credit upon the
skill and energy OF Mr. George W. Lee, who,
we understand, has the work in charge. For
the construction of the grand entrance credit
should be given to Mr.. z. T.. Austin, to
whom the job has been entrusted.
The track at Howard Park is by far the

Tho judges stand is 100 feet from turn.
This track was built at cost of over
$4,000, and its builder, Mr.. G. NJ.
Delaney, is to be congratulated upon its
excellence. 1t Is fenced on both sides with
picket fence three feet and six inches high,
and protection board runs all round the
INSIDE OF the fence, SO that sulkies driven on
the track can not strike the posts. Outside
OF The trotting track, on the other side of the

the grounds. The gentlemen who have tho
general supervision of the grounds and build
ing at Howard Park are Messrs. James a.
Shedd and Buel j. Derby of Burlington and
hlr. Henry q. Root of Bennington, and IL is
largely owing to their fidelity and efficiency
That the work has made such rapid and salts
factory progress. We hope that the coming

be as complete success as would seem to

believed, on good authority, to have been
standing in 1908. BY whom or when il
was built, we hayc not been able to ascertain.
II did not belong originally to tho University.
Z. +. Van Ness is said to have lived In 1t in
1909, and for many years after that date to
have owned and occupied ii but President
Haskell is affirmed to have made IL his resi-
dencc after his resignation of the passionate of
the First church lin 1922 and President Marsh
lived in 1t T1S28-42l. 1t was famil-
iarly known in distinction from the first
President'smansion 1.-THE Old Yellow House"
as the white House." Not long after the
death of DR.. Marsh II became college board
ng-housc, and for some years gathered more
students about its long tables than any other
three or four houses in the village. Many
graduates will remember the reign of Colo.
mel" Mitchell, and the fare which he used to
dispense, and they and others will recollect
the long procession Of full fed bipcds which
used to march back after breakfast and din
ner to the college buildings, bleating like
calves or baa-ing like sheep, the peculiar note
indicating the special piece de resistance of
the meal just eaten.
President Marshs office, q ONT. story wood
en- building, used to stand near the street
line, to the southwest of the house, and We
believe is still preserved rs part of the cot
tagc now occupied by the college janitor.
The Presidents mansion, now occupied by
President Buckham, was built for President
Angel in 1869. 1t was erected during the
days of inflated currency, when it took
great deal of money TO buy very little Of
any other commodity. and cost some S14,-
900, raised by subscription in Burlington.
The Medical College building was erected
in 1899, and was originally IA plain brick
structure OF two stories. During the slis-
pension Of the medicaldepartment, from 1880
to 1868, the laboratory and lecture-room in
this building was used by the professor of
chemistry and natural philosophy for the lee
ures on chemistry and physiology in the
acadcmical course. In 1859 at an expense
of some $4,000 the medical building was
thoroughly overhaulcd, and greatly enlarged
by an extension to the rear, and by the addi-
ton of another story, to afford room for an
enlarged amphitheatrc, etc. In 1880 the
TO the utmost extent the building would adj
nit OF, and new chemical laboratory and
dssecting rooms were provided in two
story addition in the rear of the main struc-
ture.
The houses on the south side OF Colches-
ter avenue, from University Place to the
hospital grounds with the exception of one
small house, belong TO the corporation, but
call for no special mention here. We
may say, however, that the house now occu-
pied by Professor Perkins, was one while
used for dormitories for students, and subse-
quently us college clubhouse.

lions during the year; IN 3 cases of which the
patient got well and on the 4th was discharc

show that the hospital is meeting great want
in our community. There were those who
supposed that the hospital would probably
not nave over dozen or twenty patients in
year; but at times during the past wear.
the rooms have been all filled and
'he demands for care and treatment have
well nigh equaled the facilities aud power to

day morning, by the announcement OF the
death of Hiram Adams, ESQ.,, at the Franklin

ing spell. Friday, and has been confined to
the house since that time. He was thought
to be improving, however, and Tuesday spent
some time in considering business affairs.
He was improving, Wednesday. and was
reading the morning paper, when he COM
planned of faintness. He was helped to the
bed, but passed away before medical and could

Mrs. G. q. Drury. Mr.. Adams was for
many years, in company with the late Ira
I. Foster, proprietor and manager of the
