There are few places that are known all over

empires cities through which the commerce OF
nations passes But Saratoga Springs is unique
among places of cosmopolitan fame in the fact
that it's has sprung solely from its health

Although by far the best known and most i'm

in the background many other points in which
Saratogas pre-eminence is equally unchallenged

OLD DAYS In GREENFIELD
Recalled by SesquicentenniaI Cete-
bration This WeeE.

Greenfield, Mass. June (SpeciaD.-There is
place from which look down all Green
field this beautiful town of Franklin County. 1t
is from Poets Seat natural bench of rock In
the hill that lies between the town and the Con-
necticut River.
Some fifty years ago this Poets Seat was the
scene of strife between the young men of Green
field and band of students from Amherst. The
students. after studying the Indian lore OF the
valley decided that Poets Seat was no name at
all for this picturesque spot p" 'Notunk shall be
its name they said, and they straightway came
for the christening The ceremony included plant
ing a fagpole. They descended on Greenfield pre-
pared to force the name on the people Ihat
night the newly planted pole was cut down ana
the name Notunk wiped out. Poets Seat IT has
been ever since.
No one seems to know Just who the poet was for
whom the rock is named. At least, one oldtimer
says that with a drop of poetry IN MS heao
ever sat the seat and gazed at the view beio"
without writing poetry.
There is a chance for some real poet to do a
masterpiece If he should chance to occupy the
Seat of Poets next Tuesday. Something will be do
ing in Greenfield, and doing to degree never
done here before The is fitting; that
day Greenfield is $50 years old. It is a birthday
party for eight thousand devoted townsmen and
twice that number of neighbors. well scores
of notables from the Governor of the Common
wealth of Massachusetts to the tax collector of
the nearest New-Hampshire village, who have been
invited to put nnser IN the CeleDTdIOn PIE
Greenfield has celebrated before and in ways
more or less notable. There the centennial
celesation in 1858, which a dazzling affair
for its time. Only last year there Old Home
Week, which many thought must be the summit
of civic pride. But wait until the last red light
Of the sesquicentennal flares its lurld flame.
Then all records will have been broken.
If it had not been for the closeness ofthe mother
town-Deerield-this celebration must have oc-
Cured fifteen years ago. for it in 1888 that
Greenfield first sought separation The petition
was granted in 1743, but nothing was done for ten
years Greenfield has had her revenge over the
mother town; Deerf1eld now has three thousand in
habitants and the child nearly three times as
many. Only five years ago piece of the old town.
Cheapside so called because the aristocrats of the
oIden days would live that side of the river
was wiped off the Deerfeld map and given to the
younger place
No town can reach the dignity Of 80 years with
out leaving some traditions in its wake. Besides,
Greenfield is built on historic ground and there is
rnauy an exciting tale OF Indian and Revolutionary
days
One of the most interesting monuments in the
vicinity is that which reads:

One of the most beautiful waterfalls IN the
Greenfield part of the Connecticut Valley bears the
name of an heroic Indian fighter, Captain Turner,
of Boston. who was killed in Greenfield Meadows
after having defeated the Indians at the falls.
The story Of the exciting fight, told by the
oIdtimers and repeated by Historian Hoyt, is this:
DAY was about to dawn. but all was still in the
Indian camp. Preparations for the attack were
momentary, and the march promptly COM

Many leaped into their canoes. some IN the hurry
forgetting their paddles and in attempting to cross

dreadful cataract and drowned Others were killed
in their cabins, took shelter under the shelving
rocks OF the river bank, where they were cut down
by their assailants without much resistance.
Captain Holyoke. Turner's second. is said TO
have dispatched FIVE with his sword: nor did
the soldiers evince less activity. All performed
their duty most gallant manner. and the affair
was soon over. with the loss OF only one man on
the part of the assailans The loss of the Indians
was severe One hundred and sixty were left dead

whole loss, as afterward acknowledged,
amounted about three hundred of all cescrip-

The Revolutionary hero who will be honored with
remembrance in this sesqucentennial is Captain
Agrippa Wells. of whom local poet writes:
