TOURNAMENT NOTES.

The Ethans of Burlington, at their
meeting Friday evening, considered the
matter of turning out for the Fourth of
July parade, and attending the firemen's
tournament at Bennington, in body,
but no decisive action was taken. The
officers will canvass the company during
the next few days to see how many will
turn out on the two occasions.
The firemen of Middlebnry, had the
old hand engine out for practice on the
brakes, Thursday night, preparatory to
taking her to the State tournament. 1t
is intended to man the engine with a
strong company and try for prize in
the hand engine contest.
The Winooski Steamer Engine COM
pany has announced its intention of be-
ing present at the tournament and join
ing in the parade. Considerable pro-
gress has been made toward the erection
of the grand stand, and it will be finish
ed by the latter part of next week.
From it good view can be had the en-
tire distance of the track. There will
also be judges stand and one for re-
porters.
Abenaqui Engine Company of Bellows
Falls, with Hose Company, will be pres
ent at the tournament, In entering, the
secretary says: "We don't expect to get
anything, but want to, shake the boys VI
little.' The Abenaqui is Hannenan
build and has good record.

Charles c. Merchant.

This well known citizen died Saturday
afternoon after somewhat protracted
illness. To the public his death was
quite sudden, it having been understood
that Mr.. Merchant was getting better.
He was born in Bennington, July Sd,
1918. His mother was daughter of
Capt. James Hicks, whose descendants
are we'll known in this community. His
grandfather, on his fathers side, was a
soldier of the Revolution, settling at the
close of the war at SchOdack, Rensselaer,
County, n. Y, to which place his par
ems removed, occupying the old home
stead while he was still a boy. While
yet young he went into the store of his
uncle in Albany, boarding in the family
and attending school part of the year,
as was then the custom. In 1885 or '36,
he removed to New York City. going in
the store of Clark, Myers and Gedney,
an associate clerk and warm friend of
VIM. Libby, afterward partner of A. T..
Stewart. In 1912 he began business for
himself which he continued until he re-
tired to come to Bennington to reside in
1879. He went to Yonkers to reside in
1850, when the place was comparatively
new, being one of its first trustees,

the village charter passed by the New
York legislature. At that time he be-
longed to a circle composed of such men
