There are S25 young men engaged
as chair-pushers at the Chicago fair,
all college graduates or students.
The pay is not princely-S1 per day.
But the work is not arduOuS, it gives
the Young men q chance to see the
great exhibition, and will show how
much push they possess-a very val
liable quality if they are to get on in
the world.
A portion Of our party spent a few
days in the city. There were found
many former YcrmOnters, all Of
whom were untiring in their efforts
to show their country cousins about
the city. For many courtesies the
writer is indebted to F. NJ. Gale, who
frequently left business and took us
to places of interest, not the least of
which was the famous "BOston Oys-
ter House"
The Clerk of LamOille county spent
one day in the stock yards and after
inspecting the rapid transit of beef
from the livestock pen to the can
ming department, devoted a short
time to the horse market. There he
obtained prices on several with a
view of shipping a carload home. AS
the prices given him were from $3.50
upwards, he concluded that that was
not the kind of horse flesh adapted to
the Child & Waite business.
The international dress exhibit on
the Plaisance attracted the eye of
Stearns, of johnson. Handsomely
dressed young ladies representing
every nation und, the sun were on
exhibition. The Irish representative
took the tub-maknr's eye, while Nc
FarIand, of Hyde Park, declared =
black-eyed Poland girl the hanIS1
est female he ever saw. TU is So
that Stevens O. Waterville was es-
pecially pleased with the Oriental
exhibit.
A large number of those who re-
manned over until last week came
home together Through the efforts
of Mr. A. C. Whiting, of Burlington,
arrangements were made with the
Grand Trunk road whereby a special
sleeper was provided for the party.

would have been drawn up express

Sec'y of State BrOwnrli been obliged
to devote nearly all Of his time to

preciate the efforts of Mr. Whiting.
and hope they may be able some day
to reciprocate.
The Vermont press excursion, so
called, left st. Adams for Chicago
last Saturday evening in a special
train of five vestibule Wagner Sleep
ers. A stop was made on Sunday at
Niagara Falls and Chicago was
reached early Monday morning. A
glance at the personnel Of the party
is a reminder of the average Sunday
school just before Christmas or tht
picnic season. 1t was made up of $50
persons, less than a dozen of whom
were editors of Vermont newspapers.

A list of the present officers of the

GERS we notice the names of the
blatant RUDE Brush of Cambridge,
druggist, and E. c. Tuttle of Rutland,
school books, paper bags etc. The
association is all right, however, as
long as it can make the hotels and
railroads believe it. 1t is simply an
organized appetite under false pre-
