The railroad commissioners this
year appear to take more than a
superficial look at things, and their
report and order on the toilet rooms
In the stations Is certainly worthy of
a good deal of appreciation by n
patient public. because they tell of
conditions they have had to deal with
for long time. The commission
ought to go a little farther than hay
ing the rooms placed in a sanitary
condition. They should compel such
rooms to be open at all stations, for,
according to reports, there are rooms
in depots not many miles from Mont
pelier that are kept under lock and
key all the time.-Nontpelier Argus.
This cannot possibly refer to Ben
nington as the waiting room here is
kept open part of the time every
day, but is always locked up in the
early evening so that the patrons of
the road will be insured plenty of
fresh air while waiting for the two to
three hour late trains from Troy every
night. 1t also makes 1t particularly
nice and agreeable when the mercury
travels down toward zero and the
wind blows up the valley some 40
miles an hour

FIan Nhces ON Lake, For Small Craft
BUFFALO, Oct 2l.--A plan Is on
foot among the yachtsmen of the great
lakes to promote a new class of small
craft for international racing. The
Canadians are anxious to abandon the
expensive contests for the Canada's
cup. now held by the Rochester Yacht
club, and to cooperate with the latter
in the proposed new series Of races
with several boats instead of one rep.
resenting each country. The event
would resemble the annual contests In
Chicago among the twenty-One footers
for the Upton cup.
