From the Greenfield Gazette and Cour-
er: 1.-THE sale this week of 'Highlawn'
stock farm at Lee to W. d. Sloan and
Mrs. George Westinghouse of New York
recalls the fact that this famous horse-rais-
ing farm has long been in charge of Mrs.
Helen NJ. Davis whose husband formerly
lived in Greenfield having come here from
Brattleboro. Mrs. Davis has a national
reputation as a breeder of fine FLOODED
trotting stock. The death of her husband
a few years ago made 1t necessary TO carry
on his affairs and she has had exceptional
success in it. 'Highlawn' will remain in
her possession until next November"

ognize him. Funeral services were held
Wednesday morning, and the burial was

coll. She was born in Ireland. where she
was married to Mr.. Calvin in 1852. Mr.

"The Heart of Maryland" David Be
lasco's great war drama, presented Satur
day evening before one of the largest au
diences ever gathered in the Auditorium
ranks easily as the strongest and best pre-
sented production of the season. The
story is sombre one, but it is full of &C
ton and intense interest. Miss Alma
Kruger in the difficult role of Maryland
Calvert, is an emotional actress of pre-
eminent ability. Herbert Bostwick, a:
Col. Thorpe, the villain, earned the hisse:
he received as well as the Others earned
their applause. The other parts were ad
mirably taken, but the two mentioned
were particularly distinguished for theil
excellence. Brattleboro audiences are
usually frigid, but the belfry scene anC
! 81 a;t ha
pathies to an unwonted degree, and such
marked demonstrations of approval have
not been seen at any recent performance
in the Auditorium.
