A Fine Apple.

We are in receipt of. fine large
apple grown by. W. S.. Sease, of near
;Boothsville. It has a circumference
of fifteen inches and is as large as
any our apples we have seen on the
market. The.Scolo is a beautiful
pink and the favor is unexcelled. Mr..
5Sease grew the tree from the seed,
which proves that some seedlings are
worth While. Taking all the good
qualities into. consideration, we believe
thatsno better name for this particu-
can be found than the
ttTeddy Roosevelt" apple. We are
grateful to Mr.. Sease for the remem-
sbrance. Il

VESTS MINSTRELS.
Big Minstrel Jubilee To Be Seen at the Opera
House Thursday Ssptl.


With the single exception of the cir
Gus. there is no more popular form OF
amusement furnished the American
theatre goer than that given in the
form Of a minstrel entertainment. Per-
haps it may be claimed with some
basis of truth, that the minstrel enter
tainment is even more popular or at
least equally so to the circus.
AS the name of Barnum and Bailey
stand in connection with the circus,
so does the name of West Minstrels
and Sanford B. Ricaby stand with
minstrelry. In both cases the name
stands for the very best in their re-
spective fields. When.o one attends the
en- teri ainmeht offered by either, he
knows and feels confident that there is
nothing better, or as good, to be seen
in that particular line somewhere else.
One of the strong feathers Manager
Ricaby has paid especial attention to
this season is the splendid collection
of high class singers. With such
artists as James II. Sadler lthe man
with the double voice Edward Roy,
the hasso: Geo Trewellyh and Gilbert
F.. Losee, the famous tenors, and
several others equally as good. The
Big Minstrel Jubilee will be here
Thursday sept ! at the Opera house.

A WORLDS FAIR LETTER.
Some Extracts Which Give the Reader a
Glimpse and Desire To See More.

People in this part Of the country
are just bee inning to. realize what a
big thing the worlds fair really is.
The following are some extracts from
a personal letter written to a friend in
Bennington by a physician who has
been spending few days at the fair;
perhaps you will be interested in
my impression of the fair.

cription. No fairy could produce, (if
there we're such an Individually any
thing half so beautiful mention the
fairy as the sight suggests the fairy
stories we learn when children, espec-
tally the night scene. .
"Second, there is no truth in the re-
ports that everyone is trying to rob
the visitor. The actualfact that If you
properly engage accommodations in
advance board, room and admission
included can be secured at 50 per day
at the Inside Inn, and outside the
grounds in private boarding places
rooms can be secured from 50cents up,
breakfast 35 cents, dinners 90 cents.
On the fair grounds coffee is 10 cents,
milk 5 and 10 cents, also sandwiches.
At the "Vermont Dining Room" or
"Kitchen" a dinner is served in a
plain manner for 30 and 35 cents and
at the Administration Dining Rooms
chicken dinner, 80 cents.
