Great Closing Out Sale Of TrotterS.
TO DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP.
Speed, Pedigree, Good Looks!
kentucky's Great Trots.

Every lover of the light harness
horse should read the programme OF
the greatest trotting meeting ever held
in Kentucky, if not in America, that
appears in another column
The Kentucky Il. III. B. Association
is the most progressive club Of its
kind in America and richly deserves
the patronage of all. The meeting
begins at Lexington, Monday, October
II County Court Day., and continues
through the week. Every day has
unusual attractions, and on the first
day will be seen the greatest two
year-old race ever witnessed, as then
Monbars, Ralph Wilkes and Annorean
come together for the first and only
time. On the second day the Tran
sylvania Stake worth not less than
$1,000 will be conended for, but the
horses do not have to be named till
October 1st. This race was won in
1889 by Jack, and 1890 by McDoel,
and has become a fixture of national
Importance. On the same day DR..
Sparks and Valissa will do battle for
the four-y ear-old crown, and SO the
public will be treated to two of the
greatest contests ever witnessed.
Write to Ed. A. Upton, Secretary,
Lexington, for list entries and he will
mail it as soon as published.

Disguised With Cincinnati.

The members of De Molay Com
mandery, No. II, Knights Templar,
who went TO Cincinnati Tuesday, on
the invitation of the Grand Com
mandery OF Ohio, returned Yesterday
afternoon at : o'clock on the steamer
Fleetwood. They were not in very
angelic mood. In fact, they were in
clined to be somewhat disgruntled.
There were about 120 people on the
boat, half of them ladies. When the
Fleetwood arrived at Cincinnati, the
Cincinnati knights sent down COM
mittee of three or four to receive the
crack commandery. This committee
turned them over to squad of Han
selman Commandery, which marched
the boys to the Masonic Temple,
about four miles distant, and there
left them-to find their place in the big
parade as best they could.
After marching in the parade
through the hot sun, the Louisville
boys had just time enough TO go to the
Fleetwood, get supper and rush to
the National Guard Armory. No one
appeared to escort them. No one sent
any carriages. No one did anything
that looked like good will or knightly
courtesy, though the visitors had been
asked to give a display drill. They
hired their own carriages, went to the
reception, drilled for the edification of
a large crowd, got very little applause

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOG
QUESTION.

Mr.. Editor:
agree with you and our mutual
friend, Lawyer Stafford, that the
man who, through mere cussedness,
poisons a dog or other domestic
animal deserves all the anathemas
hurled at him by our friend He
keeps dog. He seems to be trem-
bling in his boots lest his dog share
the fate of those described. Let me
tell him how to avoid that trembling
Keep his dog at home. Why should
we be required to keep our domestic
animals at home while the dogs run
at large? Our friend believes and l
agree with him, that the drunkards
and other criminal classes are recruit
ed from the moderate drinkers, and
he favors the abolition of the latter
class by prohibition, while he goes
for licensing the dogs and let them
run. l say repeal the dog license law
and enact in its stead law that a
dog seen on the streets or highway

of his family, shall be served as our

FILLING THE BIG TRESTLES.

The Walden trestle on the Lake
road is to be filled this summer and
workmen are now engaged on the
stone work. This trestle is not as
long as the famous Pumpkin Hill
trestle, but is considerably higher,
the rails being over 100 feet above
the brook below. Instead Of an or
binary culvert over the brook, a
stone arch will be built large enough
for load of hay to pass under and
requiring 700 carloads Of stone in
its construction. The Pumpkin Hill
trestle will be completed in about a
month. Filling these big trestles is
an expensive undertaking for the
Boston & Maine road, but in the
long run it will prove paying in
vestment.

THE CARPENTER LATHE.

One OF the latest acquisitions &c
the manufacturing interests of St
Johnsbury is the Carpenter polishing
lathe for jewelers. and dentists. 1t
was invented by Will c. Carpenter
of this place and he has been over a
year in perfecting it since the first
machine was turned out.
The lathe consists of two parts,
the spindle and the power apparatus.
The former does not differ materially
from any jewelers. polishing lathe.
In fact any make of spindle can be
belted to the Carpenter motor, which
is the principal feat ure of this lathe.
The motor consists of a heavy bal
ance wheel about six inches in diam
eter, revolving upon stationary
arbor, and projecting from one side
of this wheel is a carefully turned
fange Revolving on the same arbor
and fitting closely within this flange,
isanother smaller wheel with a drum
orcylinder at the hub. A small strap
is wound around this drum and eX-
tends down through the table to the
treadle below. When this treadle is
depressed the unwinding of the strap
throws the little wheel rapidly for
ward and ball clutch on its outer
rim catches on the f1ange of the bal
ance wheel and sets that revolving
with great velocity. A spring at
tached to the arbor winds up the
strap on the drum after each depres-
sion of the treadle, while the balance
wheel keeps revolving without inter
ruption. With this motor, one move
ment of the foot makes at least 25
revolutions of the balance wheel,
while with the ordinary jewelers.
lathe one movement Of the foot gives
but one revolution of the balance
wheel The Carpenter Bros. make
this lathe with the balance wheel di
rectly under the spindle and connect
ed to it by short belt. The whole
is mounted on a table of neat design
and handsomely painted in black,
striped with red. They also make
a large motor on the same principle
suitable for driving any kind of light
machinery. Two points ofexcellence
are claimed for this motor, power
and speed With so depressions of
the treadle minute, the spindle re-
wolves 1900 times. The machine is
fully covered by patents and it looks
as though the Carpenter Brothers
had struck bonanza. AS yet their
facilities for manufacturing are linn
tied but they hope to enlarge and
make Improvements as time goes on.
There is great demand for the ma
chine and more have already been
sold than the "boys" can make in
three months. They lately removed
their workrooms from St. Johnsbury
Centre to Hooker's building at Pad
dock village and now the casting,
iron work, wood work, painting and
Grating are all done in one building.
A. D. Rowell and T. c. Spencer each
have one of these lathes in their store
and one is on exhibition at c. P.
Carpenters store on the Avenue
This is ST. Johnsbury invention, is
manufactured by St. Johnsbury men
and St. Johnsbury people will wish
them success in their new enterprise.
