We regret to say that of late it has
been repeatedly brought to our atten-
ton, largely through the columns of
local paper, that the Memphremagog
| Driving Park is situated at Newport,
VT, instead of w. Derby. Now this
deceit practiced upon the public is
entirely wrong and false. The Mem
phremagog Driving Park is situated on
the Pass. Division of the B. & M. r. r.
| at West Derby, Vermont, fully three
quarters of. a mile from the nearest
point of Newport, aRd when it is adj
vertised otherwise it may be put down
are calculated to detract from the le-
Ultimate rights and interests of West
Derby to the Ubiquitous and unjust
gains of her larger and more christian
like sister town. We appreciate the
fact that Newport is live, busy, en-
terprising town, constantly gaining IN
popularity and strength, and surely
we do not envy her any of her success
es or institutions. Again we are con-
scious that much of the energy that
resulted in the establishment and con-
summation of the Memphremagog
Driving Park was due to Newport
people, and we take pride in giving
them credit for it; but this does not
give them the moral of legal right to
rob Derby people of their legitimate
rights, and naturally they feel little
grouty over it. This is not the first,
nor even the second time that the
stand taken by some of Newport's
citizens has been criticized by us. The
matter has been fully discussed be-
fore by parties in a position to do the
right thing if so disposed, and they
did not deny the justice of our claims,
and in making these observations we
feel assured that they not only eX-
press the sentiments of Derby people
as whole, but are equally unanimous
. in condemning policy so manifestly
injurious to a christian standard OF
Justice. ooh! it is an excellent thing
to have a giants strength, but It's
cowardly to use it as giant"
