The circumstances could not have been
more propitious for Wednesday great
celebration. The skies We're clear the
August heat was tempered by refreshing
breeze, and Brattleboro was at its best
From early morning the town wore holi-
day seeming The business part Of Main
street was gayly decked with flags and
bunting. the national colors foated in the
bright sunlight from the tall flag slaves
above the Estey factories. and there were
few private residences that did not recog-
nize the DAYS event by some display.
Many strangers were in the streets. and
every incoming train added to the number
while carriages fitted TO and fro. carrying
guests to points OF interest. said in d
word, it was a fete day in Brattleboro and
the town bore itself accordingly.
All day long the people whom one met.
townspeople or strangers. wore a leisurely,
expectant air, and toward o'clock the
grounds of Col. Estey, where a company
of $500 had been hidden TO a social gath
ering and collation., became the central
point of attraction. The handsome grounds
were tastefully decorated. over the gate
way was beautiful festoon of American
flags, surrounding a shield which bore the
magic figures. 10000" All about the
grounds the national colors were displayed.
From a central stand the First Regiment
band gave a concert program of choice ST.
lections. covering the entire two hours and
more of this delightful outdoor reception.
Under the big Estey Guard mess tent
Caterer Barr of Springfield, Mass, served
a collation. so generous, so elaborate, and
so perfect in every detail. as TO meet every
demand from the great company to whom
ne thus ministered, and winning their cor
dial praise. The menu comprised Kenne-
bee salmon, served in variety OF styles,
chicken and salmon salads. bOned turkey,
petite sandwiches, finger rolls. ices and
bewilderment of tempting side dishes,
cakes in variety, and hot coffee. All about
the grounds were lemonade stands. it being
somebody's happy thought to build these
in the form of organ boxes or packing
cases, addressed in stencil floats to the
Estey company's agents in every part of
the world.
The gathering was in the best sense a
representative one, comprising besides the
500 Estey workmen and their families, the
business and professional men of Brattle-
bOru and men and women OF every craft
and calling, who met here to felicitate the
hosts and each other on what this celebra-
tion meant for the community The out
of-tOwn guests were numerous. Gov Page
arrived soon after o'clock and held an
impromptu reception, receiving a cordial
personal greeting from a very large number
of our citizens. Col. Estey and Col. Fuller
were everywhere among their guests. The
real spirit Of comradeship pervaded the as
semblage, and it was with evident regret
that they saw the hour of approach
warning them TO say goodhy and depart
for the church where the formal commer-
Orative exercises OF the evening were held.

The Chicago Souvenir Half-DOnars,

H.
Senator Sherman doubted whether there
was enough of the souvenir-eollecting spir-
it in the country to float ''at par" half
million of the proposed half-dollar world 5
fair coins. Yet here is a Chicago news
paper printing in one issue half a dozen
bids of from $50 10 S2lO for the first of
the coins struck of, and the fair directors
haye received so many offers 20 pay nearly
81 each for the whole issue of 1900. 600
halt-dollar coins, and so many offers OF 81.
or more for small lots of the coins. that
they have decided not 10 part with a single
one at less rate than 81 each. This is
very like America, or some parts of il.
The fair managers are almost certain to
realize from the half loaf voted by Con-
gress the full sum of -. 0OO. 600 they
asked for. And they get il, thanks 10 the
laundering House Democrats. as a clear
gift, without having 10 admit the federal
government TO a share of the fair profits.
