TRIP TO GETTYSBURG.

Advices indicate that the 18Th Vermont
regiments monument at Gettysburg will be
in place the second week in October. The
committee had planned to have the dedi
catory exercises during the week which in
cludes October 10, but the uncertainty at
tending the date of the Dewey celebration
at Montpelier interferes with this plan.
Should Dewey day eventually be held one
week earlier than is now expected the Get
tysburg trip wonld be taken as originally
planned.
Arrangements are in progress to make
the trip for the dedication Of the monument
during the pleasantest season OF the year
and as attractive as possible. The Getty g.
burg battlefield Is one OF the most interest
ing places on this continent and we'll worth
visiting. The Export Exposition at Phila-
delphia can be seen by hose taking the
trip and numerous side trips to Washington
and the battlefield are being planned. The
subcommittee having in charge these mat
ters Of the excursion are Henry o. Clark of
New York, Heman w. Allen of Burlington,
Carm l.. Marsh of Enosburgh Falls, r. o.
Sturtevant Of Swanton and j. B. Scully of
Burlington. 1t is expected that special
train will be provided for portion of the
trip. The 14th Vermont's regiment, is
now upon the field.

ham because of the hard rides inseparable
from doctors profession in that region
DR.. Watson will reside at No. 30 Loomis
street.
1t has been suggested that the families In
the city order the goods which they will
need on Dewey day so that they may be
delievered the day before in order that the
delivery teams may not have to be used on
Dewey day at all. 1t Is expected that the
crowd will be so great that teams cannot
get about the city freely, or without the
probability of accidents on the principal
thoroughfares. Those driving in from out Of
town, too, will be restricted and under the
control Of the police, OF which the regular
number will be increased to about sixty.
The ladies auxiliary to the Young Mems
Christian Association have hit upon a
unique scheme of entertainment for Dewey
day and one which promises TO be lucra-
tive. A platform is to be erected in front
OF the association rooms upon which seats
will be placed for rental to those who wish
to see the parade. The ladies are also to
serve lunches during the day in the rooms
and should those who rent seats desire to
have lunches served them on the platform
it will be done. In that way the patrons
will bo enabled to satisfy their hunger aud
see the parade at the same time.
The Governor Paine Club OF Northield, ,
which has in charge preparations of the
programme at the laying of the corner
stone of Dewey hall, has secured Hon
Chauncev NJ. Depew of New York as the
orator. 1t is expected the exercises will
occur Friday, October l3, o. in any event,
on the day following the Montpelier cele-
bration. Admiral Dewey will be- present.
Several bands of music have been engaged
and Boston decorator has been engaged to
suitably decorate Central street, over which
the procession will pass from the station to
the University grounds 1t will be day
from which all days in Northfeld will date
st. Albans is not the capital of Vermont
and has not been specially invited to fire
an Admiral's salute when Dewey lands at
New York, as has Montpelier, but the
wide awake young men of that city propose
to celebrate the event. When the Admiral
lands in New York on Thursday the fact
will be bulletined at the Messenger Office,
word will be teephoned to the fire station,
a general alarm will be blown on the alarm
whistle, and all the bells and whistles in
the city will take mp the strain, sounding n
general salute Of welcome to the great Ad-
miral. What will Montpelier, the one city
in the Union that should be first in the mat
ter, do on that day?

benevoence. Not only has the pastor been
paid promptly q stipulated salary, but
from tn q to time this has been voluntarily
raised Ia addition to this, gifts aggregat-
ing 50 500 have been received by the pastor,
and years absence to travel abroad.
The thought was here elaborated that
during thirty years past the Church OF the
Messiah has been raised from small be-
ginniugs to position OF strength, ability
and acknowledged respectability. The
public buildings that have been reared in
thirty years we're enumerated, and the fact
noted that the town has twice been visited
by serious fires, once by an excess of water
and now by a deficiency.
References was also made to the steam
and electric railroads that have been built
and the great increase in manufactures.
How vast the change from the Mont
pelier OF 1869 to the Montpelier OF 1890
Great indeed should be the gain along
moral and religious lines, to keep pace with
the material progress. The speaker doubt
ed IL the spiritual welfare OF the town had
kept pace, and yet, everywhere we see
great activity OF thought on divine themes
taught, and 1t seems possible ere long, by
revolution or by evolution, to establish the
principles Of this brotherhood.
Mr. Wright spoke eloquently of the ad-
vance of women in the past generation and
the awakening of the young to their oppor-
ters decided change has come. In other
denominations rs well as our own, has
come more reasonable views OF the Bible,
and with this the disarming of the blatant
opponents who scoff and h)ut it. A ten
dency is noted toward the larger and more
generous hope, and less insistence upon the
bitterness Of earlier creeds, a belief in a
present, all pervading God ,-a.truth grand
ly spreading in these last years, and calling
the people in the churches away from the
Christianity of churches TO the Christianity
of Christ, which is simply walking in his
steps.
The speaker referred to certain changes
Of views and opinions that have come to
him during this long pastorate, but what
ever trend he had had in the past thirty
years, had been steadily away from the
harsh theology taught him in his early
years, and he was more and more assured
Of the general correctness OF the Unitarian
church and similar organizations.
In closing Mr.. Wright said it is con-
sidered the minister's duty to cry "excel-
sor," to urge to renewed deeds. He had
himself perhaps, been more prone to detect
deficiency than to commend for fidelity.
He paid glowing tribute to those, living
and dead, who had so nobly supported him.
In gratefully attesting to the loyalty of
these faithful souls, he felt that "the lines
have fallen to me in pleasant places" and
this loyalty to pastor was interpreted as
loyalty to church, to God and TO his cause.

Appreciatiye Resolutions.

The following resolutions were adopted
Sunday by the First Baptist church of
Montpelier
Whereas, God, in His allwise dealing
with us, has sfil lcted our pastor, Rev. w. A.
Dawson, in the serious illness of his wife
which necessitates her removal to her
fathers home in Worcester, Mass, thus
making IL impossible for him to remain
here; there ore,
Resolved, That the resignation OF Rev.
w. A. DAWSON, pastor of the First Baptist
church OF Montpelier, to date from the last
Sunday in October 1899, be accepted.
Resolved, That we deeply deplore the
necessity for the severance of the relation
as pastor and people which we have sus-
tanned for three years, and while we bow to
Gods will our hearts are sad and we are
10th to part from him. His life while among
us, has been above reproach. AS pastor,
Christian brother and worker he is earnest,
onscientiOus and true. AS u member of
the community, interested in all that con-
Germs the spiritual and material welfare Of
the people, faithful in his ministrations to
the sick, the sorrowing and the needy ones,
financier and organizer Of rare ability and
tact, we heartily commend him to any
church to which God may call him in the
future. May the Comforter to whom he has
pointed 30 many troubled ones be very near

manager sprung a surprise by announc-
ing that he was about to sign Burt Oil
Yer as pitcher. The contract Is almost
consummated," said Ewing; "in fact, you
might say 1t is completed. There is no
need to tell you what Oliver is, as he
has made a great record for himself in
many hgh-class amateur contents. He
was rated the best amateur on the coast"
In Oliver the Oakland manager certainly
has a good man. He pitches a remark
ably speedy ball and has good control of
his delivery. For years he has been con-
nected with both baseball and football:
He is a big man, of great weight and
against the University of California he
struck out sixteen men. Ewing will prob
ably not play him on Saturday or Sun

tanna, Bona, Satanita and Rainbow.
The Britannia drew ahead, but on re-
turning from the westward the Meteor
led, with Bona second and Britannia close
up. The Meteor won. She finished at
:05. The Bona finished at 1:55 01. AS the
yachts passed Cowes. The Meteor was
this point Britannia gave up the race.
The remarkable victory of the Meteor
over the Bona proves that she is the best
racing yacht in England. English yachts
men are beginning to feel grave doubts as
to the chances of the Shamrock. EN-
peror William wired to the sailing COM
mittee at Cowes the following reply to the
congratulations on the Meteors victory
in the race for the Queens cup:

Andrews is the star Of the San Jose
tossers. He has pitched eight winning
games out of nine, quite a different record
from that of Borchers, who is on the to-
boggan and seems to have lost confidence
in himself.
Harper the hot weather twirler, is the
man of the hour. Last Sunday he struck
out ten Dudes and did not allow hit
off his delivery.
Donovan. who has been suffering from
bad kidneys, is so far recovered that he
may be able to line up with the Dudes
this week.
Hunton of San Jose is meeting the ball
well, but is unfortunate in landing 1t in
the fielder's hand.
Manager Tuttle did not return home
with his team. The three defeats. had
raised a cry at home, and he waited un-
til the storm blew over.
An enterprislng local firm has offered
an elegant gold medal to the most popu-

Watsonville has its lines out for Lob
man as catcher, Francks second base and
Babbit short.
Long, the new umpire, made his debut
at Sacramento last Sunday and proved a
success.
O'Meara, the player signed by San Jose
in place of Graham, has proved failure
and has been released.
The fielding of Streib and Fitzpatrick
In last Sundays game was OF the very
best orGer.
Several of the managers are registering
kicks against the Watsonville grounds.
They claim that the box is six inches
lower than the rest of the field and built
on cement, while the plate is fixed above
the field, making 1t difficult for all visit
ing pitchers to gauge distances.
