State five months ago. The adoption of
the town system-the turning over of
the control of the schools and their pro-

great deal to the longtime devotees of
the district method of dispensing know

that, in few instances. the surrender
was made somewhat reluctantly. Some
little time was required to adjust matters

In addition to these, there was peg
race on the afternoon of Tuesday. and it
afforded quite as much fun as any fea-
ture of the fair. These contests are new
to Vermont, but seems destined to become
popular. The horses entered are unhar-
messed with the exception of the head
stall and the harnesses are all hung on
the front of the grand stand. The vehi-
clcs are placed on the other side of the
track. At the word the contestants be-
gin to harness. The one who can get his
rig into shape and put IN a mile on the
track in the shortest time is the best man.
The contestants were w. G. Danyew and
A. V. Fisher of Middlebury, Gusta Null
Ter of Cornwall and John Lattrell of Wey-
bridge. Danyew took the first heat and
Muller the next two and the first money,
Danyew getting second and Fisher and
Lattrell dividing the rest of the purse.
Mr.. Danyew had the best horse, but the
animal got so nervous after the first heat
that it took too much time for him to
harness.
Wednesday afternoon came the , 30
class race and a free-for-all pacing race,
the latter gotten up to take the place of

not fill.

PRESIDENT DoHE's ARrsY
Its Asmbers Ready to Support Censtf a
tienal Republic In Hawait.

CHICAGO, Dec: 25.-The Tribune's
Port Townsend (Wash) special says
that l,200 men are under arms for the
Hawaiian provisional government az
Honolulu, with $50 additional, who are
being hold in reserve in case of emer.
genoy, awaiting to repel any attack
from no matter what source. Such rs
the gist Of q letter from Patrick Hutton,
well-known and responsible local
resident, who ia regularly enlisted
soldier in President Dole's little. aruy..
having gone from Port Townsend to the,
Sandwich Islands about four months
ago. Hutton writes that his tern of
service is twelve months; that he re-
ceives $40 q month and food, is. we'll
treated, aud has lately been promoted
to sergeant.
His letter, which came by the latest
steamer from Honolulu, states that
Queen Liliuokalani will never be re.
stored and that neither will the En-
glish half-breed princess ever sit on the
Hawaiian throne. nor will there over
again be monarchy on the islands
Hutton says that regular constitu-
ttonal republic is soon to be proclaimed
with general election, to be partici-
pated In only by those paying taxes
upon at least $4,000 worth Of property
This will throw the government en-
tirely into the hands Of Americans BY a
large majority. Hutton's letter states
that OF the provisional army at least
hve-eighths are Americans by birth.
They will not bear arms against the
authority Of the United States unless IN
selfdefense, but an attack, no matter
from what source. will be repealed
Hutton owns considerable property
there. He was for years quartermaste
on board the United States revenue
cutter Wolcott, and was also guardian
OF the county Jail for q time and q
member of the local police force.
