H.F. Brooks as an Entertainer.

At the clambake of the commercial trav-
elers' club at Springfield last Friday $50
live HOLSTERS, 300 pounds of spring chick
en-, 10 barrels of CLAIMS from Pine Point,
Me-, a barrel of Norwalk oysters, 800 ears
of corn, 200 cucumbers and a bushel of
tomatoes were disposed of. Much of the
success of the occasion, according to best
reports. was due to the efforts of III. +.
Brooks, of whom one paper said:
"Herbert f. Brooks of Brattleboro made sever
al speeches, by no means contenting himself with
sounding the praises Of the bake, but dlscoursing
entertainingly on all manner OF subjects from
love up to philosophy In the lapses OF music use
VEINS, @. @. Mum, William Trend and Edward
Trevvett gave themselves to wit and Jest, while
II. F. Brooks Of Brattleboro and +. 5. Gennett
did some fancy steps which would have made the
footlight butterfly at the tent theatre blush with
envy"
Another paper compliments Mr.. Brooks
thusly:
"Up on the poop deck Herbert Brooks, the
well. known commercial man Of Brattleboro, took
his position early on the trip down and there
with humor and songs amused the men In GOOD
STYLE Mr. Brooks has quaint way OF express
ing himself and good voice and is capital en-
tertainer. He picked out quartet almost as
soon as he struck the barge and then the run be-
gan He knows about every song In the hymn
books, besides those which are not, and his com
binations of hymns and popular ballads were ae-
cidedly novel. 1t didn't take him long TO get his
coat OF and his sleeves up or to get his handker-
chief out and begin TO wipe the perspiration from
his brow, but he continued his fun-making just
the same And there were others who helped
him ont In good style. Soon after the steamer
mad paased the south end bridge Mr.. BROOKS
thouRht the band Desded some assistance, he
marched his quartet a9 S 70 TneT9 ,sc Tbs
was forthcoming and soon the majority OF the
400 had their vocal chords in shape"
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-08-14

would be as interesting as the Waverley
novels.
As a matter of course and necessity the
narratives of early history given during the
day had been serious and even sombre
in character, and II. G. Parsons of the
Greenfield Gazette, who was next called
upon, gave happy turn to his remarks by
his bright, graceful and felicltous illusions.
DIR. Holton read a short paper prepared
by ex-Gov. Fuller, who was a visitor to
the grounds during the day but was
obliged to leave before the close of the
proceedings. The governors paper recog-
nized the sturdy Pilgrim fibre of the men
who built Fort Dummer, and urged that a
permanent monument be set to fix the
bounds of the old fort, as ga reminder to
all future generations that the footprints
of New England must forever remain en-
bedded in the American commonwealth,
unchanged and unatered fixed and eter-
nal"
At this point visitors from the south
were obliged to take the 4:35 train home,
and they left after all had joined in singing
"America."
The last speaker of the day was Jona-
than johnson of Greenfield, who related
the history and explained the purposes of
the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial assoca-
ton and gave a cordial invitation to all to
visit the society's building at Deerfeld.
In the absence of Mr.. Sheldon f. NJ.
Thompson of Greenfield, a vice president
of the Pocumtuck society, presided in the
morning, and Rev. p. V. Finch of Green
field, another vice president, occupied the
chair in the afternoon.
Besides the guests already mentioned
there were present Judges Fessenden and
Dunbar of the Massachusetts, supreme
court, A. NJ. Copeland, president of the
Connecticut Valley Historical society,
Hon. L. f. Lyford of Springfield, Chaun-
cey Bryant of Greenfield, Judge Franklin
of Greenfield, Spencer Fuller of Deerfeld,
Prof. II. A. Pratt of Gill, d. b. Stedman
of Springfield, Rev. G. f. Piper of North
field, John Sheldon of Greenfield, Col. AL
bert Clarke of Boston, Gen. S. G.. Griffin
and A. b. Skinner of Keene.
These and other guests praised warmly
the interest shown by the Brattleboro peo-
| pie, and the excellent arrangements for the
celebration made by the Brattleboro Chap
ter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, assisted by the committee of
citizens, whose services they enlisted.
Resolutions were adopted expressing re-
| greet for the illness of Mr.. Sheldon, and re-
greet, also, that ex-Gov. Fuller was unable
to take personal part in the proceedings.
Other resolutions thanked Col. John Hunt
for his hospitality in freely opening his
grounds for the purposes of the celebra-
ton, f. II. Putnam for the use of his farm
in marking out the site Of Fort Drummer,
the Daughters of the American Revolution
and citizens for their efficient aid, and the
railroad companies for their helpful cour-
tesy.
An interesting collection of relics was
shown in charge of Miss Della Sherman of
the historical committee.
