The third and last day of the fair
brought a larger crowd than was present
Wednesday. By o'clock the roads
were crowded with teams, and the
morning train from Bennington brought
many. The society will evidently have
several hundred dollars surplus in the
treasury, which will be needed for neces-
sary Improvements on the grounds.
Most of the stock had been examined
by the judges Wednesday, but the stand
ard bred horses and colts were shown,
there being about about Is or 20, where
IS two or three years ago there was
hardly one. There has also been large
increase in the number of thoroughbred
cattle, and the improvement is due, in
part at least, to the competition and
rivalry brought out 10y the successive
fairs held by the Association.
Plenty of sport was provided for the
amusement of the crowd, the principal
events in the forenoon being the pacing
race and Especial race which took the
place of the race for four-year-olds,
which did not fill
In the pacing race the entries were

expressions of approval received from
distinguished military men and eminent
citizens who witnessed the parade at
Bennington, August 10th, warrant the
belief that it was a marked success. To
the assistant marshals, members of the
staff and commanders of organizations,
is due much of the credit for that
promptness which made it possible to
move on time, and without confusion,
the finest procession ever witnessed in
this State. Although comprising nearly
one hundred separate organizations, the
formation of the column was attended
with no delays, and its arrival at the diff
ferent points was in exact accordance
with the schedule previously announced.
In my own behalf, and in the behalf of
the committee having the celebration in
charge, 1 desire to thank you, and
through you the different organizations
participating in the parade, for the great
interest manifested, and for the valuable
services performed, in bringing to a sue
cessful issue so interesting and import
ant an event in the history of Vermont
as the completion of the first century of
her existence as State of the Union, and
the dedication of the noble shaft which

The Graded Schools opened last Mon
day, September 9TH. The attendance is
the best la years. The primary schools
have larger classes than were assigned
them last June, with two exceptions.
No. has 46 as pretty little children as
were ever seen together, nearly all Of
whom enter school this term for the first
time. By good management and good
work on the part of the teachers, such
promotions were possible last June as to
give the first four rooms an average of
80 pupils each, this year, instead of an
average of 60 each as last year. The 9th
er grades have correspondingly increased
in numbers. Schools five, six, seven and
eight are full to overlooking. No. 10 has
class numbering nearly fifty, and No.
II about the same. For some years past
these rooms have opened with about 80
pupils. This shows very good and
unusual increase in the advanced depart
ments. While the standard of work for
each teacher has been raised, the children
are not now detained so long in the low
er grades that they must go out to work
before getting any advanced instruction.
No. - has an excellent class, several of
whom are non-lesidents. The High
School has 20 new pupils, eight of them
being non-residents. The High School
has class in Greek, three classes in
Latin, two in German, and also classes
in geometry, algebra, bookkeeping, nat
ural philosophy, general history, rhetoric,
civil government and penmanship, be-
sides the miscellaneous exercises, as
rhetoricals etc. High School work is
also carried on by Miss Collins in con-
nection with the work Of the last gram
mar year, and most Of her pupils now
enter the High School with pass-cards
that show two or three higher English
branches completed. Indeed, inquiring
among the grammar teachers reveals the
fact that the standard will have to beraised
only little more to complete the gram
mar work in No. IL, and make all the
work in No. u, High School work. Sew
eral of the children who started to 60 to
the French Catholic school have al
ready returned TO the graded
school. The French children
prove to be very desirable pupils
after being with our teachers two or three
years, but at first, owing to their in
ability to speak English, they are seri-
GUS obstacle to the progress Of our pri-
mary classes. To that extent their at
tendance at school of their own would
be great advantage to our English
speaking children. The opening of the
French Catholic school has taken about
thirty-one of a registration of nearly
seven hundred, With large excess of
our own children in the upper grades,
and with large nonresident attendance,
the indications are excellent for year
of admirable educational progress. 1t
NAV be added here, that two of the non
residents who entered the High School
this term, came from other schools To
graduate here next spring.

AppreeIatiVe words.

Our readers are aware Of the common
dations showeped upon Bennington su-
thorities, from Sheriff Robinson, the
Selectmen and Chief Nash, down, for the
excellent order observed and preserved
during our Centennial celebration. That
this was appreciated by General Green
leaf, chief marshal, the following circu-
lar letter to the gentlemen named, as
well as 10 those specified therein, shows:

A LARGE excursion from Bellows Falls
and the Rutland road visit our monu-
ment and Soldiers Home tomorrow.
ISAAC n, PRATT, business manager of
the Ezra Kendall's famous troupe which
are to play "a pair of kids in Library
Hall, next Tuesday, was in to see, us a
few days ago. The company have been
secured by Messrs. Goldsmith & Wood,
and is headed by that wen known
pantomimic eccentric comedian, Ezra
Kendall in person, "A good hearty laugh
is hugely enjoyed by everyone and Ken
dali and the kids have reputation of
six successful years in the laughter pro-
ducing line. Note what is said elsewhere
to-day. ''--
MEssRs, Fret. NJ. AND A. D. BUR-
CESS, grandsons Of Smith Collins of the
Putnam House, of New Haven, Conn,
attended our Centennial last month and
paid their grandparent and other rela-
tives here visit. They came on their
wheels" going from New Haven to
New York, leisurely along the Sound,
thence up the Hudson to Albany and
then to Bennington, arriving in ample
time for the great week of the year here.
The return trip was made via the Berk-
shire Hills, thence to, Hartford, Conn.
and so on home, the run being accom-
plished in easy stages, bicycle speed.
These young gentlemen thoroughly en-
joyed the trip. 1t is safe to presume by
their letters, written from points en-
route home, that no one had better
time than they did. We have been per-
mitted to read two of these interesting
epistles to their aunt. Mrs. -, F. NJ.
Katsch, and cannot forbear making an
extract or two, notwithstanding they
were not written for publication. Speak
ing Of their stay at a prominent Summer
house amid the berkshire Hills" they
say that the name just above theirs was
English" and that two letters in the
box was addressed to Count Some
body; one from Switzerland. Style is
everything here. Il tell you these, in
fact am told they sell blue-blood here
by the quart" To appreciate how much
of sell is made one should read the de-
scrip ion of meal at one of the "Berk-
shire" hotels: "They have a waitress
there that beats anything we had at the
Putnam House. She got off jargOn of
words that we couldn't make head or
tail to. After she repeated it three or
four times | managed to extract lamb
chops from the ruins. Everybody at the
table ordered something different, but
they all got lamb chops" Bearing upon
the reason why Western Massachusetts
has such popularity as a summer resort,
and giving Vermonters practical hint,
Mr.. Burgess remarks: 1--WE find the
roads superb from here to Pittsfeld, a
lively manufacturing city of $4,000 in
habitants. From Pittsfield to Lenox is
mostly up and down, hlll-but we have
plenty of time so we don't hurry. On
this road we met lots of 'nobs' with
fancy painted carriages and faces, TAX
ing their footmen out for drive" A
few remarks about Great Darlington; as
seen from a bicycle, are reserved for
next week.

SPECIAL BUSINESS ITEMS
Syrup

Here is an incident from the South
mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. 81 am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was on a trip to the City
Of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. / consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

Bound.
her Majesty the Queen was enter
salned at Makao, near Hauuls, Koo
iauloa, on Saturday by MIR. Lane
ana other prominent Hawaiians oil
that locality. In the afternoon, the
Queen went out canoe riding, the
canoe being drawn by a lively span
OF horses by means of ropes at
tached to the canoe. The horses
were ridden at full gallop, the canoe
skimming along the surface of the
water at lively rate. After the
novel canoe ride Her Majesty and
many others went out sea bathing.
On Sunday, the Queen and party
attended the Mormon Church at
Laiewai, the followers of Brigham
Young attending in large numbers.
Ihe Queen remained for the night
at the residence at that place of the
Hon Cecil Brown.
On Monday morning, the royal
party left in wagonettes, others
being on horses, for Kahuku Planta-
ton, visiting on the way, "Laiewai,"
a small lake several miles from the
coast, being noted in legends as the
place where Laieikawai," fairy
belle, was nursed ID one of it's secret
places. This lake is much visited by
strangers. Arriving at Kahuku, the
Queen and party were treated to a
sumptuous luau.
About noon, Her Majesty and
suite left for Waialua. When they
reached the Waimea stream over
which new bridge has been re-
Gently built, and was forbidden to
the public until the Queen crossed
1t first, appropriate remarks from
some OF Waialua's prominent citi-
zens were made on the occasion of
crossing the bridge. When the
ceremony ended, the party proceed
ed to Waialua, arriving there early in
the afternoon, the royal party put
ting up at Gov. Dominis' prince
Consort) country residence.
Monday evening, the Queen and
her followers went to the Waialua
Church, of which Rev. E. s. Timoteo
is pastor. A large gathering was pres
ent. Speeches were made by native
orators. Prof. Berger and his boys
gave a concert at Gov. Dominis' resi-
dence, which was largely attended.
A grand luau will be given to-
day, followed by reception and
hookupu. The royal party will ar
rive here probably tomorrow, com
ing either by the steamer Kaala or
in wagonettes to Remond Grove,
and from there taking the train to
Honolulu. Hon. j. A. Cummins is
still accompanying the royal party,
and the success thus far attending
the Queens receptions is largely
due to his forethought and energy.

A NEW COMPANY.
For the Further Development of
the Fruif Industry.

For the Further Development of
the Fruit Industry.
An important feature of recent
development in the line of agricul-
tural pursuits was the forming of the
Pearl City Fruit Company; capital
stock $4,000. The new enterprise
includes the raising of all payable
varieties of tropical plants and gen.
eral farm produce. Their tract is
near to the Oahu Railway and Land
Company's line of road. The soil is
found to be admirably adapted for
grape, pineapple. orange, lime, lemon
and melon culture. Under compe-
tent management, speedy and profit
able results are assured.
1t is now reasonable to anticipate
that in the near future there will be
an active demand for farming lands
in and around the district of Pearl
River. The Oahu Railroad and Land
Company are rapidly augmenting
their irrigation resources to meet
emergencies. The following gentle
men were elected officers Of the Pearl
City Fruit Company for the ensuing
year:
p. G.. Camarinos, president.
D. McLain, vice president.
Jas. F. Morgan, treasurer.
g. +. Mccarthy, secretary.
Jas. L. Torbert, auditor.
