ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Yesterday was very light day
at the Chautauqua. The, people
just sat still in their cottages and
tents and watched it rain. Not
much had been planned, and it
was best that way, for the almost
continuous down-pour from the
clouds would have prevented the
successful carrying out of an ex-
tensive program. No exercises
were held in the auditorium during
the day, but in the evening an
entertaining concert was given.
The audience present was not a
large one, but those who we're
there seemed to greatly enjoy
themselves. The exercises we're
taken part in by the Indian band
quartet, the Misses Ruth and
Wilma Anderson, Miss Goodman,
the Wesleyan Male quartet and
al. G. Fiournoy. It was Mr..
Flournoy's last appearance for
4 this session and he did some of
his best work and was paid for the
same in hearty applause. The
Wesleyan quartet was also parti-
-cularly happy in it's efforts and
the Misses Anderson and Miss
Goodman appeared to the same
good advantage as on former oc-
casions. +
This is Womens Day at Chau-
tauqua but their program did not
begin in the morning as originally
designed it should. The minis
terial conference was held at 8
o'clock, Rev. j. A. Stracham, of
Park River, presiding, and was ad-
dressed by Rev. Harris, of Rugby.
His theme was "The Power of
Good Influence and How Secured"
and those who heard his remarks
were pleased and instructed. The
address was followed by a G. LIS.
Z. experience meeting at the close
Of which arrangements were made
for tomorrow mornings meeting
when the subject of the G.: L. S
G, will be "The Colonial Period of
American Literature" z"
A 10 o'clock Miss Gibson gave a
cooking lesson in tent at the rear
of the auditorium, number Of Ia
dies being present. Miss Gibson
is an adept in the culinary art and
1those who take lessons of her will
receive valuable instruction. @
| The only other feature of the
forenoon was the usual outdoor
concert by the Indian band, one of
the most delightful and highly ap-
preciated features of the Chautau-
qua.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the
Indian band gave another outdoor
concert, and at 3 o'clock the grand
concert by the talent was held in
the auditorium, at the conclusion of
which Miss Sanford gave her first
address. She will speak again af-
ter the concert this evening. Mrs.
A. M. Powell, president ofthe XIX
Century Club, has charge of the
Woman's Day arrangements,
The subject of Miss Sanford's
address this afternoon was "What
Women's Clubs are doingfor Pub
lie Welfare" Tonight she will
discuss the "Love, Beaux and Let
ters of Robert and Mrs. Browning"
Tomorrow will be Press Asso-
citation Day, and a large number
of the North Dakota newspaper
men are expected to be present. "a
fine program has been arranged and
the occasion promises to be one of
marked interest to the thought
moulders of the state. Hon. j. p.

BELLOWS FALLS OVERFLOW.
Log Drive WIN BE Delayed.

A few weeks ago the White river log
drive, of the International Paper company,
amounting to about 4 100000 feet, which
has been in the boom at Sharon for two
months, was let ont, there being expecta-
ton of higher wGter to float them. They
would not move, and are now strewn along
the river for five or six miles below there,
without water enough to float a toy boat
1t promises to bevery late in the season
before they are safely stored in their yard
here. The water in both the White and
Connecticut rivers is the lowest this week
it has been in mlny years. All the pulp
stones of tho company here have been idle
the last two week, as well as a number of
paper machines. Huch of the distance be-
tween here and Springfield bridge the mud
show above the surface Of the water. The
water supply at Miiard's pond is ample and
no anxiety is felt in that respect. The
rains of last Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day, which were colious here, did not reach
north of here to AM extent.

semI-CsntenniaI of tho First COngrega-
tIOnal Church.

uOuhI
Though Congregationalsm in the town
of Rockingham extends over a period of
more than a century and a quarter, the
church at Bellows Falls reached its jubilee
year only this summer. The first place of
worship in the town was located near the
centre of the township-one half mile from
Williams river-where the old Meeting
House now stands. The records of a town
meeting in 1862 show that an attempt was
made to 'hier" minister which Twas pass
ed in the negative" Nine years later,
March 80, 177l, in town meeting, it was
"voted that seventeen bushels of Indian
corn be delivered to the Rev Andrew Gard
iner by the overseers out of the rent that
Nathaniel Davis owes the town." SO the first
regularly settled minister of Rockingham
began his work five years preceding the
signing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence.
The present Old Town Meeting House
was erected in 1887 and is we'll worth visit
ing. The people do not appreciate this old
historic building as they should, and, there
fore the old square pews are allowed to be
disfgured, and in the gallery several pews
have been wholly torn up.
The church at Saxtons River was the
next Congregational church to be organic
ed qS25) and then comes the church in
Bellows Falls. "The First Congregational
Society of Bellows Falls" was organized
July %, 1850, the articles being signed by
G. l. Walker, G. f. Hall, H. H. Stone. c.
F. Pease, A. 7. Gibson, H. Allbee and Geo,
s. Norcross. In August an ecclesiastical
council was held in the Methodist church
and the church was organized. For II
years the Vermont Domestic society helped
IN supporting the church. From the nine
original members the church has grown to
a membership of 2S2. The church is I'M
usually strong in the number of active
Christian men and in benevolences it is one
of the leading Congregational churches of
the state; its offering for foreign missions
last year being $445 and for home missions
$780, Its semi-centennial celebration will
cover three days, Sept. 80, Oct. / and 2
The program is as follows: Sunday morn
ing the pastor will preach an historical SER
mon and the service of the evening will be
given up to "reminiscences by different lay
men of the church. Monday evening re-
ception, greetings from the churches by
Rev. G. R. B. Dodge, addresses by Rev.
Nathan +. Carter, former pastor, and
Rev. @. H. Merrill of the Vermont Domes-
tic society. Tuesday evening, addresses
by Rev. o. S. Davis, and Rev John l.. With
