Vermont sportsmen are interested IN a
measure to be taken before the legislature
next fall by hotel men for the repeal Of a
law passed in 1901, which cut the month Of
August from the trout fishing season.
SpOrtsmen favor the shorter season, be-
cause in August trout are nearly ready
to spawn, and are too easily caught in the
small streams where they make their
spawning beds. Hotel proprietors, how
ever, are fighting the law, because August
is the month when the largest percentage
OF city people come 10 this state for trout
fishing. The legislature favored innkeep-
ers in Bennington county by allowing the |
longer season there, where the largest
summer hotels are located, but hotel men
IN other parts OF the state are all the more
up in arms on that account.
There seems little doubt that st. Peters |
Episcopal parish at Bennington will
build a new church edihce during the |
present year. 1t is thought that the work /
will be begun very soon after Easter day. |
The plans have been made by New York /
architect. The fund for a new church has /
beeu accumulating for some years and is |
now more than $4,000. Building opera
lions will be begun when the fund reaches
$1,000. Among the latest subscriptions is
one of $1,000 by Henry Squires, The well /
Known tenor, aud is the duplicate of |
subscription OF a like amount made by |
Mr.. Squires several years ago. The present /
brick edilice, built in 1885, is too small,
md struct ural weakness is shown. The /
Rev. Philip Schuyler has been the rector
u the church for eight years.
