n small party were invited TO ride on tho
Elfrida, Thursday. Leaving the dock at
p. m, the first eight miles were made In %
minutes The Elfrida then struck the
thunder shower and to say that the sight
was grand does not express it, On the way
back from Pittsburgh the fog was so
dense that the whistle had to be blown
every few minutes and the captain had to
run his boat by his compass. Burlington
hnrbor was made safely and there the fog
lifted and u landing was made at Oak
Ledge, where Frank Smith, DR.. Webb's
private secretary, who was one of the party,
was left. We then steamed for DR.. Webb's
dock and arrived there at GAO making

four minutes. During the heavy wind the
yacht behaved beautifully and SKINNED
along like sea gull; she obeyed the helm
very nicely. The party went home well
pleased with the yacht and her capable and
courteous captain.

The Farmers Should Read l..

To the Editor of the Free Press;
If all the farmers Of Vermont as all the
farmers of the State are dairymen to some
extent had an opportunity to read the let
ter of Col. Woodbury. to Senator Edmunds,
which you publish to-day, think there
would be no question about who would he
our next governor. His arguments ara I'M
answerable. Something has to be done for
the dairy interests of the country even if a
"score or so of millionaire manufacturers
Of oleo'' have to 60 the wall. Should the
prominent and influential men of the dairy
region of the whole country do as he has done,
show that they are alive to the interests of
their sections, and write their respective
delegations in Congress, this wrong would
be speedily righted wish copy of that
letter could be placed in the hands of every
farmer in the State, and then our incoming
governor would be in position to make his
influence more felt and extended than
that of any private citizen. lilo says If
something is not done, she believes the
farmers will be heard from in no uncertain
way in the next national election" Now
let them be heard from in no uncertain
way in our State election.
