Upham was sick until o'clock and it
was very fortunate indeed that he rallied
in time to make the splendid records he
did.
During the mile run part Of the grand
stand on which the Bellows Falls contin-
gent were stamping and cheering gave way
aud some of the occupants were rolled in
the dust.
The two mile bicycle race was run twice.
Grignon won by half wheels length.
The one-half mile walk was considered
the farce Of the day for there was more
running than walking.
The highest point winners were Harpin
OF Windsor 23, and Upham of Bellows
Falls, 2O3-4.
The boys feel that the credit Of winning
the cup belongs to E. Baldwin of Barton
and Dartmouth '99, who was their efficient
and conscientious trainer. He spent two
weeks here and his work is spoken of with
the warmest praise.

A Roast for Gr0ut and Peck.

Mayor Ripley of Rutland, VT, was one
OF the speakers at the banquet of Co. A,
LIST Vermont volunteers, held at Rutland
last week. lie was called upon to respond
to the toast, Rutland and the soldiers. y
Capt. Dyer in introducing the mayor spoke
Of him as being one of the organizers of
the company. In bis speech the mayor
gave history Of the first company organ
lied in 1857, which served during the civil
war in two regiments. He then spoke of
the reorganization of the national guard.
He said in substance: 81 would like to see
the national guard reorganized, but want
to see it national guard in something
more than name. 1t should be drilled AM
differed like the regular army. 1 want to
see it given rigid examination every year
and gwen six weeks of training, instead Of
five days. 1t should have its camp, not at
Burlington or at Rutland, but back on the
Green mountains somewhere, and be given
at least ten days of marching each year,
depending on the haversack for rations. l
want to see it armed with the best rifles
used in the regular army and furnished
with smokeless powder. All this would
cost money, for the men would need to be
paid, but if the state can't afford to support
a regiment, let her have a battalion. If
Vermont had sent you out properly
equipped you might have been with Roose-
welt in the charge up San Juan hill l for
one don't want to see Vermont make an.
other exhibition of herself, as she has Just
done. The state gave money enough to
her executive officers to have equipped hall
a dozen such regiments, tor $4,000 or
500, 900 would have put you in good con-
ditlon. I try to be Christian, but I never
will forgive the person who sent you to
Chickamauga with your winter clothes on.

The late Mrs. Kelley used to tell the
following story about the visit she paid
to the queen at Buckingham palace on
the occasion Of the jubilee in 1887 Be-
ing incredulous Of the genuineness of
the invitation, she was disposed to
treat the royal command as Joke and
wrote rather sarcastic letter to tho
official, a personal friend. who had ad-
dressed 1t 70 her. This he gave to the
queen, and the veteran actress was a
little disconnected when her majesty
told her she had read the letter Mrs.
Kelley begged that it should be restored
to her. "No, no, Mrs. Kelley" answer
ed the queen, "it issafely pasted in my
autograph book. You'll never get it

DR.. Frank B. Saylor suggests hypnotism
as cure. He has the greatest faith in the
efficacy of suggestion, and believes that the
occult science will eventually convert the
born ialsifer into modern George Wash

"Ot all liars" he says, "the morphine
fiend i, entitled to first place. 1t seems
the first effect OF the drug is to destroy all
sense OF truth. A fiend Of the morphine
variety is absolutely untrustworthy. The
drug kills every bit of veracity that the
