DR.. Drummond's Readings.

1t has rarely been the privilege OF st.
Tohnsbury people to listen to anything
so delightful as the readings OF Dr. W. H.
Drummond of Montreal at Music Hall,
Thursday evening. The poet was intro
duced by Principal D. Y. Comstock and
for an hour and half the audience lis
tened to the reading of selections from
the authors two volumes, THE Habl-
tant" and 'Johnnie Corteau." DR..
Drummond displays rare talent in his
readings and brings the characters WV
idlv before his hearers. Through the
kindness of Charles 7. Walter, who was
instrumental in bringing DR.. Drummond
to St. Johnsbury, the academy students
were given free admission to the read.
ings, and the large number attending
sho wed that the courtesy was appre-
ciated.
After the readings an impromptu re-
ception was held and many of the audi
ence were presented to the poet. The
attendance was smaller than might have
been expected, but what it lacked in
numbers was made up in enthusiasm,
for it is long time since Music Hall
audience has given an entertainer such
undivided attention and generous ap-
plause.

BIG NATIONAL BUTTER CONTEST
IS NOW BEING AR
RANGED
IT WILL LAST SIX MONTHS
Minnesota Has the Advantage of "A
Year of Monthly Contests
of a Similar
Nature.

The officers of the National Creamery
Buttermakers' association have voted
to hold the six months educational and
championship butter scoring contest that
has been a subject of. discussion for two
years past, providing that entries axe re-
ceived from at least $50 members. The
executive committee met at Lincoln last
week and passed the following resolu-
tons:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
committee that we have a six months
educational contest under the auspices
of the association.
Resolved, That the secretary take en-
tire charge and represent this committee
in carrying on the contest, and that he
be fully empowered to confer with the
United States agricultural department at
Washington and secure from them such
cooperation as he may deem beneficial.
Resolved, That the secretary prepare
a. plan as early as convenient for the
carrying on of this contest, which he
shall submit in person or by mail to the
available members of the executive com
mittee for their approval
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
committee that no funds belonging to
or contributed for the benefit of the as
ISOLATION shall be used in defraying
these expenses or providing premiums
for the six months contest, except that
parties entering this contest shall not be
barred from the pro rata or other prizes
offered in the national meeting
Minnesota buttermakers are rejoicing
greatly at the prospects Of adding new
laurels to the record of the Bread and
Butter State" They have no doubt that
the 500 necessary applicants will be forth
coming. Minnesota will make up a good
ly share Of the 500. Already a number
of Minnesota creamery men have indicat-
ed their desire to enter, among them be-
ing buttermakers from Lewiston, Nicol-
let, Lamson, New AVIAN, Frost and other
places.
Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois
count between them fully 5000 creamery
buttermakers. Neighboring dairy states
could contribute nearly as many, thus
making total of over 5000 creameries
who can, If they viii. participate in
this contest. The 500 requisite entries
must be filed within six weeks. The con-
test will begin in three months. If the
other states take the matter up as en-
Enthusiastically as Minnesota the result
will not be doubtful very long. The ex-
penses of the contest have been estimated
at $780, and for this reason the 500 en-
tries were demanded, as each entry will
be taxed Sc, or 81 per month. If there
are more than the SEQ entries the fee will
probably be reduced.
Commissioner Mcconnell feels assured
that Minnesota will show up we'll in this
contest. For year he has been holding
just such contests monthly in this state
so the buttermakers are more prepared
for such an event than In some other
states.

Paul Martins Protests Overruled by
Assembly Committee on Streets
Claimed He Is Inter
ested Party.

For the benefit of the G. A. Stickney
company, whose factory for the manu-
facture Of gasoline engines and other
machinery is located on the West side,
the assembly committee on streets yester-
day afternoon agreed to the vacation Of
Starkey street between Fillmore and
Fairfield streets. The gift, however. was
not without opposition from several prop
erty owners and will in all probability
reach the courts where an injunction will
be asked for.
The street in question Is the only
break in a lengthy block west Of South
Robert street, and with the exception Of
a narrow roadway is given over to the
tracks Of the Great Western railway and
a furnace belonging to the Stickney
works. AS opposed to the vacation, Paul
Martin appeared for several interested
property owners, but his motives were
impugned by Assemblyman Wheeler who
intimated that he was trying to foist on
Mr.. Stickney some undesirable property
at handsome prices.
Mr.. Wheeler was vigorous in bis efforts
to have the street vacated for Mr.. Stick
ney's benefit and finally succeeded in Sc
curing the committees approval, but
the figure he named, $25, the committee
refused to listen to and raised the amount
to $780,
Mr.. Wheeler incidentally remarked
that Mr.. Stickney was being importuned
to go elsewhere and it behoOved the city
to treat him well. Yes, l have had an
offer Of ten acres Of ground from Chi
cago parties if 1 would move" added Mr..
Stickney, but 1 would like to stay in

matter before the council and then APP
peal to the courts if that fails. In the
vote TAKEN Assemblyman Benson was in
the negative. The other members were
