rivalry among tho great steamship lines
goes on, and no one can tell how soon some
company will endeavor to launch bigger
and swifter vessel than the proposed Ggan

great ocean tragedy.

Changing ones residence from Boston,
t its damp December winds to the YER
mont hills. and crisp, easily breathed atmos-
phere, is an experience most enjoyable. One
who has lived only in cold prairie land,
either in city or country, aud fancies he
knows a 1.-THE OK the real blessings of
Northern winter, should make an effort to
spend oae season amons the "white- he d I'd
ma jestiesH OF this section. Mother nature
will give him free scholarship in a school,
during one season OF which he can learn
more of light aud shadow, of grandeur and
simplicity, OF healthful PLEASURES aud phys-
cal beauty, than could bs dreamed in life
time elsewhere.
The city OF Burlington il the prettiest in
the State, if not in all New England. The
bluffs stretch back from the lake sustain
ing thousands OF elm aud maple trees that
have stood for u century undisturbed.
Their boughs interlock over, above and
acros. the broad streets, or shade the ample
grounds about the homes tho slopug
hills. The houses arc substantial aud
roomy. Comfort rather than wealth is suG-
gestei by them. Members of the Wander
bilt family have summer houses near here.
They own large estates in this vicinity.
Paying literally for the land they have
made many poor people rich and money
plentiful. Improvements are beiug made
continually upon the surrounding lands.
1t is not strange that lovers of the pictur
esque and beautiful should build here,
where mountains are to the east OF us, to
the west Of us and to the south. When the
sun shines they are robed in silvery blue;
but when the storms gather about them,
they frown and wrap themselves to their
squirrel-gr SUBMITS in sombre NANTES

superintendent whitman Writes About
vermon's Maple Sugar Exhibit.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
| regret that an impression has been
given in some quarters that the maple
sugar exhibit OF Vermont will be n mesgre
affair. This was natural, owing to tho late
ness OF our sugar season, coupled with the
requirement of the exposition that all ex
hibits should be In place April 30. IL this
had been enforced we should have been in a
corner because many OF our best sugar
makers were having their best run about
that time. BY writing Chief Buchanan of
thu agricultural department | secured
extention Of time and then wrote all our
sugar men to 'hustle"
Such vigorous hustling was done that we
have exhibits from nearly 40 sugar makers
anu these are representative of the States
best product. have made personal solicit
tation to many asking their interest and as
Sistance, and have received volunteer con.
tributious from others with whom | was not
personally acquainted.
The result of this will be the finest exhibit
of sugar and syrup ever made by Vermont
| Having put my best thought and work in to
this, | know we shall succeed, for the sugar
makers have been willing allies all along.
