Editor Times: / desire with your per
mission to state few facts which should
be kept in mind during the struggle now
going on, for possession Of blue ribbon of
the Atlantic / do not wish 70 explain
away the notable victory Of Reliance in
Saturdays race, She is splendid craft,
representing the acme Of perfection Of
American genius 10 that line after years
Of experimenting All connected with her,
in design building, and sailing deserve
the highest credit. Let It not be forgotten.

his vessel in such a splendid manner, is a

would specially call attention ty the great
difference in spread Of sail. 1000 square
feet. have known a merchant vessel, a
brig, to pull ahead Of sister brig during
very Light winds BY setting two skysails
which would not have more than 40 square
feet in them. Here we have a difference
Of 2 ,000 feet. Let any one measure off a

suit win be- think Shamrock TIT did

ponent, under the conditions The time

on account Of smaller area Of sail is abb
surd and why Sir Thomas raced his vessel
under such unequal conditions is a mys-
terry to me. ! don't pretend to be an eX-
pert Ia those matters but anyone with ex-
perience on sailing vessels would say that
to race under above conditions would be
ridiculous, unless there were counter adj
vantages in hull or otherwise Of vessel
with smaller spread Of sail.
Another handicap common to all British
challengers is the fact that they must be
built sufficiently strong to meet an Allan
tic storm, if need be. Now it is wellkn0wn
among Yacht or any kind of shipbuilders
that the stronger, sitter and more braced
a vessel Is SO much the slower viii she be;
and if they are built so that they viii be
timber or work (to use nautical terml
so much the faster will they be. The
American builder has the advantage on
the above point as will be readily under
stood,
The overwhelming power Reliance had
in extra sail area was shown in the large
gain she made on the home stretch run
ming before the wind. a vessel Of any
klad can stand a muon larger amount of
sail going before the wind than she can
with the wind in any other direction.
In conclusion, let us give Sir Thomas his
due for courage, good nature, and true
sportsmanlike spirit. Let as hear no

Cherry Mariani Lived
But Five Hours.
FUNERAL THISAFIERNO0N
Clothes Caught Fire From Exploding
Gasoline Stove and Body Was
Terribly Burned.

Miss Cherry Mariani who was terribly
burned Saturday noon died from her in
juries at five o'clock Saturday night. The
accident was one OF the saddest which has
happened In Barre in long time.
Miss Mariaai was 22 years Of age and a
very popular young lady, being the only
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Mariani
Of Merchant street and leaves besides her
parents, two brothers, Atloe and Blar.
The story Of her death Is a most pitiful
one. The unfortunate girl was attempting
to fill a gas0Iene stove while It was lighted
when the stove suddenly exploded and en-
Yeloped her In flames. She ran out Of
doors into the yard and across the street
crying for help. The flames, Of course,
were greatly increased by her running and
when Miss Mary Bosworth, who was on
the street near by at the time, reached her
she was a complete mass of flames. Miss
Bosworth secured a large mat aud with
the assistance of several persons who had
arrived wrapped the mat around her and
sm0thered the flames.
But it was too late to save the girl as
when the mat was taken or every bit Of
her clothing fell of ia ashes and every
part Of her body had been burned so that
the skin and flesh could not be touched
without coming off. She was taken into
the house and Drs. Ligouri, Whitaker and
Reid were hastily summoned They did
all in their power to relieve her suffering
and to save her life If possible. She was
conscious during party Of the afternoon
but died after i've hours Of most terrible
suffering,
The funeral was held from her late
home at two clock this afternoon, Rev.

The first paving block was laid on Main

on Mayor Jackson to lay the first and the
Mayor kindly acted. In laying it he
placed several coins under the stone, rep

make up the population of Barre, When
the block had been put in position the
mayor remarked briefly, This stone marks
a milestone in the history Of Barre, For
years we have been putting our money
underground, into sewers and water works,
but today marks the beginning Of the
building Of permanent roadways in Barre,
Fifteen years ago we had lSmiles of roads,
now Is miles ait that time there was no
sewerage SYSTEM now we have 20 miles Of
sewers; then we had no public water
works, now SO miles Of pipe that furnish
as good supply as can be found. In these
enterprises we have buried half million
and as the boys say lit is out Of sight \
but the results are here. Good water,
good sanitation, good health and the best
of good hope for the future. Good neigh
