WESTON.

About 200 farmers of Westport, Greens Farms, Weston and Norwalk assembled, Monday, at the field selected by MT Sip perly for the moving machine exhibit. This field could not have been excelled as test, as the grass was white clover, very thick and badly lodged. The ma chimes entering were the Worcester Buck eye, handled by Mir Raymond of the firm of Staples & Raymond of Westport; the whiteley by Charles Gregory of Weston; the Bradley by Munson Sturges of Vest on and the Deering by E. N. Sipperley of Sipperley's Mill. The Buckeye also had representatives in one of the manu- faoturers and their general agent. After moving awhile, the test of stopping and starting without backing in the heaviest grass was tried. It was found impos- sible for any machine but the Deering to start without backing. The Deering cut swath without the use of a neck-yoke, n great boon to horses, as it showed that there was no jar or wear on their necks. The judges were John Guyer, J. II. Jen- nings and W. H. Taylor, all of Greens
 
 Farms. Their decision was that while all did excellent work (and they had never seen machines put to so severe a test) there was still preference in favor of the Deering. They awarded the Buckeye the distinction of second place, This machine was handled with great sagacity. The Whiteley was considered to do excellent work in moving in most places, but did not meet all the tests This machine was close second. The decision was received with cheers and the opinion was expressed that the judges had been impartial. They were accord. cd vote of thanks. Mir Sipperly sold four machines on the grounds to delight ed spectators. This was only one more triumph for the Deering, which is receiv' ing highest praises wherever tried. Af ter moving, the New York Champion hay rake was exhibited in raking tht fine, green grass, doing it's work to thu full satisfaction of all. This rake will stand any test in any kind and condition of grass.

BEDDING.

The Jesse Lee centennial celebration was grand success. Sunday morning, Dr Aaron K. Sanford preached histori- cal discourse to an audience that filled the lower portion of the church and overilowed into the galleries. For near ly two hours, he charmed his hearers by his eloquence, or moved them to tears by his pathos, as he recounted the heroic struggles of the fathers and mothers of Methodism. He called up "reminiscences of those whom he knew in boyhood when he wandered over the Bedding hills. It seemed eminently fitting that he should be the principal speaker of the occasion, being grandson of Aaron Sanford, the pioneer of Methodism in New England. Monday afternoon, the celebration proper took place. The church was packed and seats had to be placed in the aisles to accommodate the crowd. Dr A. K. Sanford presided with dignity and tact and did not let the in terest flag for a moment. Rev A. B. Sanford, a great grandson of the old pioneer, delivered an eloquent address and was followed by Revs J. c. Monson and D. Nash, former pastors, who kept the enthusiasm up to white heat. After the exercises, the vast crowd repaired to the basement in attachments and par took of collation. which, for quantity and quality, did credit to the good ladies of Bedding. Over 400 were fed and an abundance was left, and was distributed among the needy. It was an event which will long be remembered by the people of Bedding.
