Memphremagog Yacht Club Notes

During the past two weeks the usual
number of club dances has been held,
each Tuesday and Friday evening.
The informal chops" have proved very
popular and there is good attendance
each evening. Music is furnished by
Belongs orchestra with Miss Maud
Hurst at the piano. On Friday even
ing there was large attendance from
down the lake and the guests depart
ed against very high wind which
sent the rollers in in great shape, but
our intrepid yachtsmen seem equal to
all winds and weather. The Black
Arrow Canoe club and the new swim
ming club known as the Pickerels are
flourishing under the guidance and su-
pervision of P. R. West, who organ
lied these auxiliaries and'is their in
structor. Peculiar interest attaches to
the swimming club, both for swimmers
and those who wish to learn the art.
Steps are being taken to provide better
accommodations for the swimmers IN
shape Of dressing rooms ETC., as pres
ent arrangements seem Inadequate. An
inspection of the visitors register
shows upwards of 200 visitors during
the latter part of July.
All members are specially requested
to take part in the First Annual Pow
er Boat Cruise, which is scheduled to
take place - to-day wednesday,.
About 40 power boats are owned by
members of the club and those men,
bers who have no boat are privileged
to hire one, if possible. and take part
in this cruise. 1t is the intention of
Commodore Butterfeld that the speed
be regulated by the small power or
slow speed boats so none will be left
behind. The run will be made to
Georgeville if possible, returning to-
ward night by the west shore of the
lake.

Show at Newport, August 13.

The Great Cole Brothers Show,
which will exhibit at Newport on
Thursday, August, 13, is of such gil
gantic magnitude and such extreme
merit that it cannot be classed with
any other show that has previously
been seen in this vicinity, or with any
other headed this way this year. It
stands in class by itself and is just
what the press throughout the country
has claimed for 1.-THE most modern
and entertaining amusement aggrega-
ton touring this country. 1t has been
many years since this show has been
run here, but its name is familiar
one. as it has been prominent in the
show world for the last decade. In
fact, it is the only show in America
to-day where size, merit and value
have increased yearly and the only
show that invests proportion OF its
earnings in itself every year. This
plan, which was adopted at its concep-
ton, has sacredly been adhered to and
to this fact Mr.. Martin Downs, the
present owner, attributes the une-
qualled success of the show. Every
thing in and about the stupendous
show is on lines calculated not only
to entertain, but instruct and impart
an impression to it's patrons that will
be as lasting as the title of the show
itself. There is none of the artificial
about this show. everything bears the
stamp of the substantial.
It has often been remarked that il
you see one circus you see all. The
Great Cole Brothers. Show refutes this
adage in every iota. It will not be
necessary to wait for the performance
to have the truthfulness of this fact
demonstrated. The gorgeous street
parade, which will pass through the
principal streets on the morning of the
day of exhibition, will convince al
that the Great Cole Brothers Show
is the one show that has discarded ev.
erything old and adheres only to the
new.

Business in the municipal court has
been light for some time. 10 Roche

promptly paid. Some other cases
came up in court but were mol pressed.
The case of Louis LoiseiIle, which was
continued three weeks to await the
result of shooting young Bedell with
toy pistol on July 4th, was also mol
pressed, as no serious consequences re-
suited and Louisville paid all costs
caused by his foolishness.

be finished and the sole task left to be
discharged is that of operation. AS the

That Il !, Not Poisonous
In the snake house at the New York
zoo yesterday the superintendent and
Keepers demonstrated that as q
deadly singer the stinging snake OF
the iRudholes, swamps. and bavous OF
Louisiana. Mississippi. and other
parts Of the South is a myth.
A couple of weeks ago Harris DicK-
son, from the canebrake district,
called upon Curator Raymond L.. Dit
MARI with a letter OF introduction
written by President Roosevelt.
Dickson has a sample OF the 30
called singing snake" wrote the
President: test it and prove what
there Is in this singing snake the
ory." o.
When the President went bear
limiting in the brakes he was told
about the singing reptile that the na-
lives believed to be fatally poisonous.
Dicksonis snake was too small to
prove anything, so Mr.. Ditmars sent
South Nor some STABLE specimens.
They arrived on Saturday night, a
dozen of them. some 6 feet long and
as thick as your wrist. They are
beautiful creatures and are known
as the rainbow snake.
The singer Is a tiny thorn. dark IN
color. a quarter of an inch In length,
in the tin OF the snakes tail. The
singer Is about as thick as an ordi-
nary needle. and hence this reptile Is
sometimes called the kniiting.needie
snake.
! 20. When the snake is angry IL swings
its tail around and swipes the object
Of attack with the singer.
First Assistant Curator Snyder at
lowed a snake to sting his hand. II
was merely a prick Then he caused
himself TO be stung in the palms AM
on the back Of his hands. No effect
whatever. Curator Ditmars and every
body else that cared to make the test
were siung until the absolute truth
vas demonstrated thai the sting OF
the singing snake Is not poisonous,
deadly. or even dangerous.-NewY YORK
