The first number of the new st. Johns
bury paper, received a day or two since,
shows large, fair and handsome face. 1t
has nine-column page, is printed on SUI
perior paper, in new type of handsome cut,
contains a large amount of original and To-
cal matter, starts with an ample amount
of advertising patronage, shows energy and
enterprise in its various departments and
altogether looks and talks like Il paper
that has come to stay. In announcing its
political position, its editor, Mr.. johnson,
declares unhesitating, but not servile, al
legiance to the Republican party. There
is but one such party he says, and who
ever is not for it, is against it. Those who
are theoretically for it and practically
against it, are undeservng the name Re
publican" The Republican, he adds
twill always advocate the cause of tenn
perance and ever be found on the side OF
morality and righteousness" There is
doubtless Il place and IA demand in Gale
donia county for such paper as the Re
publican proposes to be and we expect It
see it vindicate its right to live and pros
per- and establish an honorable apd per
manent position in the ranks of the Yer
mont press.

What the Club Proposes to Do-Bright
Visions of Future Fun.


A meeting of the executive committee
of the Burlington Coasting club was held
at the Van Ness house last night, at
which elaborate plans were adopted to be
put in operation the coming winter. Ac-
cording to the present intentions of the
committee a toboggan slide will be erect
ed to descend into the valley southeast of
this city, possibly directly east of Col. lie
Grand b. Cannons residence. Work up
on this will be begun early next fall to en-
sure the success of the undertaking
They also propose to construct an ar
Tificial pond at as convenient a loca-
ton as possible, on which curling
matches may be held. in addition to other
sports on skates. A gala week will be
arranged for at the proper season, to in
clude full list of winter sports, and no
pains will be spared to make it Il success
Moreover it will be the aim of the club to
provide Il cOasting slide so that various
eXhilarating sports can be provided for
the entertainment of those who visit us
during the winter.
The club at present numbers 80 mem
berS including large number of our
prominent business men, A glance at a
few of the names in the list gives assur-
ance that the enterprise will be pushed in a
lively manner. The officers are as follows
President, Mayor-elect |. A. Woodbury.

has started out with the laudable ambi-
ton to make Burlington winter, as well
as summer resort The above is mere
outline of what they propose to do, but it
is sufficient to show that there is a strong
probability of their succeeding. The club
will have the hearty cooperation of the
people of this city, as they have already
the assurance of support from abroad.

Some enthusiastic disciples of the rod are
planning to try the waters of Lake Cham
plain with the deep trolling" bait. This
deep-trolling is very successful in Lake
George, where large salmon trout are
freely taken mt depth of Il hundred feet.
The northern end of Lake Champlain
formerly abounded in salmon and salmon
trout especially where the swift, cool
streams enter the lake. Recently the
waters We're restocked with these fish,
and II few have been caught near Patts-
burgh. 1t is thought large subterran-
can stream enters the lake near "Split

fish Deep water trolling has not been
practiced in Lake Champlain. In Lake
George it was unknown five years ago.
