The Wedding "Wednesday Evening.

The Second Congregational church
presented brilliant scene Wednesday
evening. The interior had been elegant.
ly trimmed in honor of the marriage of
Miss Susie Child, daughter of Mr..
Joseph Child, and Mr.. E. B. Patterson,
all well known people of Bennington, as
announced last week. Over both aisles
there had been erected arches, with
gates. These we're covered with greens
and flowers. Other parts of the edifice
were, also, handsomely decorated. At
an early hour the guests began to as
semble and before o'clock the large
auditorium was filled with our best peo
pie, and there were quite number from
North Bennington and out of town.
Mrs. r. o. Goldsmith presided at the or
gan, in the absence of Mrs. Keeseman.
AT precisely the hour, to the inspiring
strains of the wedding march, the bridal
procession entered the church by the
east aisle, and preceded to the altar
being met by the bridegroom, with his
best man. Will Sheldon of Boston, where
the Rev. Chas. r. Seymour pronounced
the ceremony 1.-THE ring being used), and
they then passed out at the west aisle,
and to the residence of Mr.. Child, where
a reception was held and collation.
served to the family frieDds of the two
families united. The procession was
led by two pages, aged 4 years, who
opened the gates, then came /the six
ushers, four bridesmaids, the bride lean
ing on the arm of her father, who gave
her away. The whole was a very fine
society and happy event. The pages,
Dudley Child, nephew of the bride, and
Seymour Patterson, son of the groom,

part splendidly. The ushers were:
Donough, Theodore and Eddy Thomas,
James Burke and D. II. johnson. The
bridesmaids we're: Misses Mabel Patter-
son, Mabel Stevens, Grace Child and
Carol Pratt. The bride wore white
silk gown, trimmed with lace, cut en-
train, and carried bouquet of orange
blossoms. The veil was held in place
by diamond pins, above which was the
chaplet of orange blossoms. The brides
maids wore pink and carried baskets of
flowers
The presents were SO in number, both
valuable and useful, and among them
were two checks for handsome sum.
Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson departed on
the 1915 a. m. train for trip to Niagara
Falls and other places, expecting to re-
turn about June 18TH Their ushers and
other friends accompanied them to the
depot and there was a shower of rice
sufficient to plant four acre lot, more
or less. Red lights were burned at the
depot and down, the track, and as the
train left North Bennington station red
light was ignited ON the side of the car
window, said to haYe burned some five
minutes.

Death Of Frank Bradford.

Prof. Frank Billiard Bradford's re-
mains were brought home yesterday
from A lbany, and the funeral was at
tended from the home here, this after
noon at o'clock. The Rev. Geo. L.
Richardson officiated, assisted by the
Rev. A. Macgeorge. Prof. Bradford was
a man widely known and his death will
be greatly regretted. Last year he was
treated for the opium habit, and has
since been free from the unfortunate
thralldom. Last week he left home and
it was not known where he had gone,
but he was taken into custody in AL
bany, and in condition bordering on
frenzy. Wednesday, while in that con-
dition, he jumped from corridor some
80 feet and received injuries resulting in
death at the Albany hospital, where he
was then taken, a few hours later,
When first cared for he had i'll his pos
session evidences that his old habit had
again gotten the better of him. He was
at times rational and then his mind
would wander. 1t is sad case. Prof.
Bradford was an elocutionist of extend
ed reputation. Years ago, in Benning-
ton, there existed 1Thespian Club"
and he was one of the leaders in its
study of Shakespeare and other dramatic
authors. Prof. Bradford made these
matters a study and won for himself
name known far and wide. In this he
was largely self-made, although he had
studied with professionals. From about
1865 to 1875 he was associated with the
knitting business here, with his father,
the late Gen. Geo. S. Bradford, the other
member of the firm being Geo. A. Wat
ties, who married Prof. Bradfords sis
ter. Since the firm closed out business,
deceased had followed his chosen field
of eloCution, and his later life is well
known to our readers. We have often
spoken of him, one of the latest mem
tons being his recent appearance before
Norwich University where he captivated
his hearers. Prof. Bradford leaves a
wife to whom he was married 20 years
ago. One child was born to them-a
daughter-whose early death was sad
blow to her parents. In Masonic Cir
Giles Prof. Bradford has been welcome
associate for more than a quarter of a
century. In his home, in the society
circle, III the community where he has
SO long lived, the intelligence of his sad
death will be spoken of with deep re-
greet and his wife and his relatives will
receive the sympathy they so well merit
in this great affection. Prof. Bradford
was "a years old Memorial Day.

eight men in the party when it arrived

horses that drew the coach here, left for
New York this afternoon in one of Dr.
Webb's horse cars.

The Horse Fair.



The officers of the North Bennington
Driving Association were somewhat dis
couraged Wednesday morning when they
saw early in the morning that the day
was to be cold and disagreeable, one
that would not DO at all favorable for the
success of the first day of their horse
fair, and for which one and all had
worked in every way to make this occa-
sion even more of success than was the
first, held year ago. Appearances al
was overcast all day, no rain fell, but
the threatening aspect doubtless kept
many away who were intending to at
tend.
There had been about $50 entries of
horses that were to be exhibited and
some to be sold. Early in the morning
they began to arrive, and before noon
large percentage of them were on the
ground, entered, classified and assigned
to quarters ON the track and near by
stables. There were but few visitors
during the morning.
The grounds were in good condition
and the track in as good shape as it was
possible to get it owing to so much rain
recently. The grand stand looked invit-
ingly clean, but unfortunately the day
was so raw that there were but few oc'
cupants on it when the bicycle race, one
half mile was called at 1.30 p. m. For
this there were four entries: II. d. Mat
tison, John Baldwin, G. White and W.
M. S. Reeve. 1t was won by Mattison.
Time, 1.26.
The first race was called at p. M, it
being for 3-minute class for horses never
started in race, trot or pace. For this
there were originally nine entries, but
when the bell was rung, only five put in
appearance, and at the end of the sec
ond heat one of these was drawn. The
starters were:
Nellie NJ C m, Martin Harrington 90

Time, ESQ; 2.5OA; 2.4914; $50.
The second race was for the 2.3T class,
trot or pace, and in which there were @
entries but only four starters. This was
a pretty race all through and eagerly
watched by those on the grand stand
and in carriages that surrounded the
grand stand. The starters and summary
are as follows:
Jennie G. C m, G. A. Miller. ......". I

Time, 2 1874; 2.S54; 1854.
Following the races came an exhibi-
ton on the track of the different horses
entered for exhibition which made quite
pretty sight as they were driven
around the track, either singly or IN
pairs. w
The judges of the races were: A. w.
Hawks, starter, c. E. Galusha, II. Q.
Simons and Geo. F. Leonard. The start
or, Mr.. Hawks, has had considerable ex-
perience in this business in Kansas,
where he resided a number Of years.

SECOND nay.

The members of the association have
every reason to feel proud of the success
that attended the meeting, which was
brought to successful close, Thursday,
on which day the attendance was the
largest it has ever been. The fastest
heat ever trotted on the track was made,
while the races were fully as good as
they have been heretofore, and the 1000
people who were assembled, Thursday,
showed that they appreciated the efforts
made by the management. The day
would have been all that was needed,
had it not been for the light showers
that came up occasionally during the af-
ternoon and the gusts of wind that blew
the dust just where it was not wanted.
The track was heavy, but there is gen
eTal feeling that the times of the differ
ent heats as announced by the judges
was not any faster than what was really
made.
The morning was devoted to the ex-
hibition of horses and selling by auction
and private sale, several of the latter be.
ing made.
There were three races on the card for
the afternoon and when the bell rung
for the first one, the grand stand was
filled and teams and people on foot filled
the ground clear to the entrance. The
first race called for cart race, mile
heats best 2-3 horses to be green, that
had never trotted in a race aud to be
driven by their owners. There were six
entries but only five started. They were
entered as follows.
