able as any IN the state.
Miss katharine Isobel Pelton, who is
spending the summer in the village, gave
a song recital at Bread Loaf Inn on

of opinion that her voice was heard TO
even better advantage on the latter oc-
casiOn, and more than confirmed the
former impression of her marvellous
vocal powers.

ing in number in this part Of the state
There is a state law covering the use OF
such vehicles. intended primarily fol
traction engines, but made sufficiently
broad to cover all. No one wants to see
this law enforced against the automo
biles; but there is no denying their dan
ger on highways in frightening horses
/ Automobile owners should therefor,
meet horse drivers half way and the lat
ter should insist upon using their Owl
method in accustoming their horses Il
the strange machines. Usually LEADING
the horses up TO the machine and allow
them to smell of it is sufficient: but what
ever the method the automobiles shoulC
submit to delay rather than risk havn!

Frank Il. Stone, manager of the Mid
dIebury opera house has had the goo
luck to secure from \. O. ScammOn
New York Theatrical Exchange "a com
pany to present here on Tuesday even
ing, Sept. Is. the enhancing play en-
titled the American Girl, which Mr.
ScammOn pronounces the prettiest shov

their way. Lovers Of fine plays finel,

great treat, and will no doubt pack tn
house. Further announcements will y
made later.
