on THE sPEEpwAY.


Saturday, Jan. u, was one OF the most
disappointing days that ever occurred In
Barnard. Visions OF victory and defeat,
authorizations OF blankets and oats, oyster
suppers, cigars and dollars all vanished,
not in thin air but in the thick snowy
blasts OF old Boreas. Some parts OF the
day a man might see his Deighbor IL he
was out OF doors but mostly the eye met
nothiug but driving snow.
This same Saturday was named for the
gala day OF the season and the Ice on Sill
yer lake the spot for an exhibition oil
horse racing that would far surpass every
thing OF the kind attempted this winter
Friday the town road machine with two
pairs OF horses and plenty OF men scraped
and cleaned a track the length OF the lake
broad enough for five horses to compete
abreast and at night all agreed that this
was one OF the very best tracks ever made
on the lake. Those who tried il just be-
fore dark were enthusiastic in praise and
anxious for the morrow to come. Even
Judge Howard jingled the silver in his
pockets, taking on a new lease OF life
ready to make further investments oil
dollars and sense.
1t was expected that Charlie Lowell OF
GaysviIle with his recent purchase in
Massachusetts of 2-10 speed, assisted by
the South Royalton trotting mare, Glen
Eyre, and X. n. Adams OF Woodstock
with his fast pacing mare, Andrea, would
make the effort to dethrone the present
pacing queen, the singing Bundle Bee
| &. p. Tarbell's stable OF South Royalton
would curry home the scalp OF Johnny
Wilkes he unbeaten "vet' Edwin Kit
tredge OF Bethel, recovering from his rat.
Ting Mill OF a week ago, would again put
on the gloves with DR.. Hubbard's Prince
Hal; Chester Cady's Hulda G, and Land
lord Holmes Bonnie b. would be present,
etc.
A contest between c. Cady's three. year
old trotting FLY, Bonnie Wilkes, by John
Wilkes, and Frank Stiles two-year-
pacing filly, Bonnie Bell, by Bradlaugh,
was slated with money up. Even race
with yearlings in harness was down on
the program, between the black colt,
Andal. by Aland 1925 IA, a grandson OF
George Wilkes, owned by E. Holmes OF
the Silver Lake House, and Fred p. Al
kens' bay filly, Polly Wilkes, by John
Wilkes, g. IA Ia, also grandson OF George
Wilkes. Both these colts are trotters.
Other matches were to be crowded In
as about 20 horses were entered to start
making long remembered record break
ing day for Barnard. But alas, how
often mans hopes and pleasures arr
blasted by a single turn OF the hand.
All night long softly and silently camt
down the beautiful snow, daylight added
the wind, making one OF the most uncom
fortable;days OF 1901. Brag, bluff, boom
courage of the horseman mixed with tn
wind went towards South Pomfret all day
The fact is, Barnard is located itself to-
near the skies for an every day perfor
nance in winter time. / used to think
change to any other town this side o
Jordan was not to be thought of but last
Saturday would have been ready to swap
The horse show being postponed yea
many will say now give US a rest.

THE FIRST OF THE COURSE
A. Delightful Entertainment.

The Christian Endeavorers of the
First Presbyterian Church are much
elated over the first entertainment OF
their course, which was given Wednes-
day evening, by the Sammis- Jackson
Company.
The audience was large, of the very
best character, sppreciative and re-
sponsive, eucoring each of the members
of the company, again and again, with
a vigor that plainly showed its heart
iness.
Miss Sammis labored under sac en-
barrassment, but bore herself bravely,
and her fine sin 2ing was enthusiastical-
ly applauded. Her voice has great
compass, modulation and power, and
she had it under perfect control.
The harpist, Mr.. Ward, q amodest, at
tractive young man, is an artist and his
harp answered h-s touch as If they were
caresses, and he drew from it the sweet
est of strains. He was delightful.
Mrs Hessenbruch drew applause from
those who thought there wss nosmusic
in piano, and delighted those who
realized its capacities. Her perform
ance was -super-excellent, ii
the term may be allowed. Her music
was of high class-beautiful and ar
tistic-and her skill In rendering it,
was worthy the music. She was greet
ed with a storm of appreciation, as she
deserved.
DR.. jackson, the tenor, won every
heart with his first sweet notes. His
voice was resonant, without affection,
smooth, soft, of great compass and pur.
| ity, and every note placed correctly
without apparent effort. The timbre
of his voice was charming, and mis- sing
ing carried the entire audience with
its power and sweetness.
The entertainment was delightful
and will be long remembered, with the
hope of having these artists visit Vi
again.

MRS. FRANK BUTLER
Has a Narrow Escape From Burn
ing.

Wednesday morning, Mrs. Frank But.
ler was burning some paper in front of
her house on Auburn street. and as she
turned from the fire, the wind blew
her calico skirt into the flames, and in
an instant the back of her dress was on
fire. The first she knew OF it, sh
felt the heat, and ran to the hydrant,
where Mrs. Epps, who saw her
condition, was trying to turn on
the water. AS she stopped to
help Mrs. Epps, who took the hose,
Miss Florence, her daughter, dashed
bucket of water on her, and the flames
were speedily extinguished. The dress
was consumed, and the inner clothing
scorched, but Mrs. Butler escaped
without burn, and her hair was not
even singed. 1t was most fortunate
escape from horrible death.

The Daily Examiner of Wednesday,
said:
logan county Democrats are paying
most of their attention to the county
ticket, and particularly to the canvass
of Nevin Smith for Commissioner"
This little paragraph reveals several
facts: l. That the Democrats either
have given up hope of carrying the
State, or that they are trying to helI
the State ticket by getting their fol
lowers to come to the polls, by the de-
lusive hope that they can elect part O
their county ticket. 2. That they are
getting tired and are only trying to car
ry one of their county tickets through. 3
That they expect any success they may
have, from Republicans who will no
stand by the party's nominees. The,
will find that that class of Republican,
are not half as numerous as they ex
pected.
