THE FIRST CHURCH" BUILDING


The first house of worship in Burlington
was erected in 1912, By the First Calvin
istic Congregational society. Previous to
that date the church with which this 80
cicty was connected worshipped in the first
County Court house. am old wooden build
ing afterwards destroyed by fire, and in
the college chapel. The first church build
inE was a large structure of wood with a
spire. 1t stood nearly where the present
church building stands. but faced north
towards Pearl street. 1t was painted white
and for many years was Familiarity known
as The Old White ChCch." II Was set
on fire by an incendiary in the early morn
ing of Jure %. 1899 and wholly consumed.
Some time previous the only Catholic
church in town, which stood at the north
end of what is now North Prospect street,
where the old French church stands, was
destroyed by fire-its destruction, as it
was COMMONLY believed, being ono of the
results of heated controversy which had
leen in progress between two factions in
the church.as to which should control the
buildings. Among some of the Catholic
population, how ever, the burning of their
church was laid at the door of the Prot
estants, and to aVenge the wrong a jealous
Catholic set fire to the Old White Church
He was seen coming from the church, be-
fore the flames broke out and was sent
to the States prison for his act. The pres
ent brick structure, which Is now In rro-
cess Of extensive repairs, was DIES gned by
an architect named Searles. Wnile II las
in process Of construction, the congrega-
ton worshipped in the old wooden Ves-
try or chapel, which long since gave place
to the present chapel i was enlarged for
the purpose by temporary addition. The
church was dedicated April IA, 1912 and
barring changes of color of the paint on
the exterior, and of tints Of the walls and
ceiling In the interior, has remained sub
stantially unchanged for more than half
century 1t will be much improved by
the changes now in progress. which Will
be described later.

ONE MANS RACE,
A Few Experiences OF G. II. Holden
Glcnmed from the L oy of the Lillian.

The recent cruise of the Lake Cham
plain Yacht club furnished many an in
teresting anecdote TO be told over and
over again when the winters frosts have
closed Lake Champlain. Not the least en-
tertainiHe of these will be one of which
George H. Holden is the central figure.
Mr.. Holden was one of the crew in A.
G. Whittemore's craft at Plattsburgh.
The yacht had gotten away a little late
and gained so rapidly as to pass her rivals
and the crew were congratulating them
selves upon their success and taking long
and admiring looks at the mirage of the
prize cup, when 1t was discovered that
the buoy had been passed by about three
fourths of a mile and that all of the other
boats had turned long before and were
well started on their way back to the
Mr.. Whittemore's boat Sorrowfully and
with many a muttered imprecation, the
yachtsmen swung around and
made their way back to the
starting point. The dingy had been
left at the anchoring place and Mr..
Holden was asked to step from the bow
spirit into the little craft and assist in
anchoring the yacht This he attempted
to do but with poor success. The little
boat rebelled at Mr.. Holden's wrathful
manner slid from under him and allowed
him TO go under about ten feet Of water.
The crowd on shore cheered the perfor-
nance to the echo, a photographer took
snap shot Of the feat and in the midst
of 1t all Mr.. Holden was hauled up and
in his first dry breath urgently requested
that nothing should be said about this
Dry clothes were secured and Mr.. Holden
hung his up to dry and returned for them
only to find the entire outfit stolen, cir
cumstance which made the day complete
in its misfortunes.

FIRE In WOODWARD.

The fire department was called out last
evening at 1910 by an alarm from box 3.
coca stoned by a slight blaze in a pile oil
slabs owned by Denis Trombley and To-
Gated at the rear of j. p. McGrath's store
on North Champl6n street. The pile con-
sisted of 10 or 20 cords of slabs and the
fire was in the center and was evidently
of an inoendiacy origin as there is no path
through and the wood can be reached
only by going through a Held of tall grass
The prompt arrival OF the department
probably averted serious fire as there is
a large shed near the wood, which Is con.
nected with a dwelling house. The cam.
age was slight.

of the man, who when attacked by a rob
Der, drew his pipe case and pointing il at
his assailant marched him to Jail under
threat of being shot if he turned in his

head. This man with the pipe has rival

trick In little different manner but with
equal success. Mr.. and Mrs Langlois had
agreed to occupy separate rooms in their
house, lie came to her door to get some
