MIDDlEBURY NOTES.

The Christmas exercises of the Bible
school of the Baptist church were held
Tuesday evening, large and apprecia-
tive audience being present, the program
consisted of songs by the school, solo
by Mrs. A. d. Barter and recitations. by
a goodly number of the school children
all of which was well rendered and very
favorably received. VIM. jackson in
cooperation with the committee, Drs. A.
d. Barter and H. L. Averill, arranged
the platform to represent and old fash
Toned kitchen, there being very realis-
tic open fireplace with crane, log fire
and steaming kettle. The church was
very tastefully decorated with festoons,
wreaths and bells of evergreen. A fea-
ture of the evening was the use of a
telephone by which Santa Claus was
called up and definite time arranged
for his appearance.
The Lorne Elwyn Company supporting
Gladys Grey will begin three nights
engagement beginning Thursday Janu-
airy II, and will produce some of the
greater of the New York successful
plays including why Women Hate, "
and that tremendously powerful comedy
drama which has been the sensation of
the whole world, 1.-The Little Minister"
Those who were fortunate enough to see
the performance given by this company
some months ago will be delighted to
have an opportunity to see the same
company in other plays. The Lorne
Elwyn company is without doubt the
best organization that plays the cities
OF this territory, and Miss Grey is every
where by press and public conceded tc
be the most clever of the younger
actresses of today. Middlebury is fortu.
nate to get the company here for re

The Sire of Dam of General Gates
and Lord Clinton (Trotting Race
Record 2.o6 "a. Trial 2:O5).

We heard from the breeder of the dam
of General Gates in Kentucky several
years since that the dam of General
Gates was got by thoroughbred stallion
called Revenue, which was purchased by
one Brown at Powhatan Court House,
Va, about 1865 price paid $4,000, and
brought to Kentucky at that time, where
he was kept several seasons and then
sold to a company at Nashville, Tenn. 1t
was understood that this horse was got
by thoroughbred horse called Revenue,
and we supposed this must be the very
celebrated race horse, Revenue, owned
by John Minor Bolts of Virginia, and
got by imported Trustee, but had no
certain evidence
Recently we received a letter from
gentleman at Powhatan, Va, as follows:
PowHATAN, VA, DEC. 1905.
Dear Sir:-The Brown of whom you
