PRAISE FOR BRATTLEBORO.
And for Way Business of Holstein-
Friesian Association Is Conducted.

In letter to the Holstein- Friesian
Register. General Charles w. Wood OF
Shrewsbury, Mass, president of the
New England Holstein- Friesan club,
has the following to say about the
meeting of the organization recently
held at Brattleboro: ''That meeting
was grand success. Those of us who
went the night before found excellent
accommodations at the Brooks House.
The day was fine. There was a large
attendance. We were well entertained,
cordially received, and found much food
for thought as we were so literally and
pleasantly escorted about the buildings
of the Brattleboro Retreat by our fel-
low member and courteous gentleman,
George w. Pierce, and while Friend
Pierce has not been long in the Hol-
stein breeding, already he has herd
that will hereafter make the leaders
look well to their laurels.
nTben there was another feature of
that meeting that deserves marked at
tention, 1t was our visit to the capa-
cious and, withal ideal offices of the
secretary of the Holstein- Friesian asso-
citation of America. As / was ushered

was amazed at first and then delighted
surprised at the great rush of bust
ness being conducted, and delighted to
see with what perfect precision and
systematic attention it was transacted;
five large offices, IL or more clerks, all
busy and seeming to know just what
to do, and records, records everywhere,
yet so Systematically arranged that in
ten seconds one could turn to the ms
tory and record of any creature of the
breed. 1t was and is simply marvel

could look in for a minute. We would
all have a higher appreciation of the
Holstein cattle as breed, and a much
greater appreciation of the association
and its officers and OF the work they are
doing"

AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
BOYS ON BICYCLE coLLIDED
WITH MRS. EsTEY's MACHINE,
Merrill Whitney Sustained Serious In
juries-Accident Occurred Near Cor
ner of Elliot and Church Streets-No
Blame Attached to Parties.

The first serious automobile accident
to take place in Brattleboro this season
occurred Monday afternoon between 4
and 3 o clock when Merrill whitney
and Clarence Merrill, who were coast
ing down Church street on bicycle,
collided with the Stevens.Duryea ear
driven by Mrs j. Harry Estey The
wheels on one side of the machine
passed over young Whitney, head and
body and he was badly injured. The
Merrill boy was also run over but he
escaped serious injury. The automobile
was only slightly damaged.
The accident occurred at the Junction
of Elliot and Church streets. As the
automobile turned the corner at the
foot of the hill the occupants, Mrs.
Estey. Charles Mellen and Miss Emily
Tones, saw the two boys coming rap
idly down the hill on the left hand
side of the road, Whitney riding on
the handle.bars of Merrill S bicycle, IL
looked to Mrs. Estey as If the boys
would be unable to turn the wheel
enough to pass the machine on the out
side so she turned quickly to the left
side of the street. As she did so the
bows also turned and the bicycle struck
the machine on the right side, precipi'
tating both riders to the ground be-
meath the wheels of the auto. Mrs
Estey stopped the ear as quickly as
possible but not until the boys had
been run over.
Young Whitney got up Immediately
after the collision and walked Few
steps but he soon fell in an unconscious
state. His clothes were badly torn and
mis- face was covered with blood. l.. @
Crosby, who happened along IN ms ma
chine, took the boy first to Dr. hamii
ton g on Linden street and then 10 tne
home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. r.
d. Whitney, on Green street. A phy
stefan was at once called and an exam
Iination showed that the nose was badly
broken. the tip of the right shoulder
blade fractured and one of the hnger'
on the left hand severely lacerated
Internal injuries were at first reared
lint the lad is now getting along wei
and will in all probability suffer nc
permanent i'll effects from the accident
Young Merrill was badly bruised apou'
the hips but he was able to walk to ms
home on Oak street.
The blame for the accident cannon
riphtfully be laid to anyone. Mrs. rs
tey. although novice at automobile
driving, handled the machine as wei
as anyone under the circumstances
The fact that the boys were coastini
down the hill on the wrong side OF TN
street complicated the situation, an'
with one of the boys on the handle
bars it looked as if the other would b'
unable to turn the wheel sufficiently t.
escape the auto if it remained on TN
right side of the street.

A THIRD CANDIDATE.
John w. Gordon of Barre Enters IND
Congressional District Race.

John W. Gordon of Barre, prom
nent lawyer and popular man, has en-
tered the race Tor the republican nom

Kittredge Haskins, and Governor =; ~

Dartmouth college, class of 1883, and
has been three times mayor of Barre

subjects for legislation that may make IL

THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT.
An Outside View Of the Chances of the

Windham county has n candidate for

Honestn John Merritield, who has
hosts of friends in all the counties OF
the state. The supporters of Congress
man Haskins in his own county realize
that il will never do to attempt to
nail down all the offices on the state
ticket, and that this is the year to let

Local High School Team Defeated by

team lost its first game of the season
to the Athol high school team at Athol,
Mass, Saturday afternoon, but the local
bows made creditable showing consid-

Old and New Dramas Compared.

A criticism that may be worth read
ing in view of the closeness of the JEFF
ferson performance of The Rivals is as
follows:
Gone cannot witness a presentation
of one of the old standard British
dramas by a really standard company
without drawing comparison that
ism t quite to the advantage of the mod
ern play. Richard Brinsley Sheridan S
comedies, for example, compare with
the average so-called comedy of the lat
ter day about as the poetry of Byron
and Tennyson does with that of-well,
it is hardly worth while to call names.
There are few habitues of the play
house. who have not seen The Rivals
MANY times, for it is comedy that
many actors like to play, and one which
the late Joseph Jefferson has produced
hundreds of times within the memory
of the present generation. We have an
idea that no one could play the char
acter of Bob Acres quite as well as he
did. vet his son William we recognize
as a chip of the old block and scion
worthy to follow in the footsteps of
his illustrious sire 1t was hardly pos
sible to find any fault with his inter
pretation of the role at either perform
ance Yesterday afternoon and last
NIGHT. The Sir Lucius o Trigger of
Joseph Jefferson was also finished bit
of acting that was decidedly pleasing.
There was an unctuous humor to his
performance that is seldom seen and al
together it was one of the best If not
the very best comedy presentations that
has been seen on the local stage
This same unrivalled performance
will be the attraction at the auditorium
Tuesday evening, and the Jefferson boys
will be supported as heretofore by the
original Jefferson company of players.
