RACE SCHEDULE ARRANGED.
Boat Clubs Regatta, July 5, Will Pro
vide Interesting Program of Events.

The regatta committe of the Brattleboro
Boat club at meeting held Thursday
| evening arranged schedule of races for
July 5, the day we celebrate. The races
will finish on the river at the Connecticut
river bridge that all of the citizens may
have an opportunity to witness the several
events. The motor boat event will be
handicap race starting at the bridge and
rounding a buoy at the suspension bridge,
returning to the starting point. Handi-
caps will be based on trial runs soon to be
made. There will be sufficient number
of entries in this event to make an in
teresting race.
For the speedy boats scratch race has
been arranged starting at the bridge and
proceeding up the river, around Dunn
merston island and returning to the start
ing point. Probably the canoe races will
be of full as much interest to all as any
of the events, for the committee in charge
of the days celebration have endeavored
to have several events in the canoe class
that will stimulate local interest. A short
course for canoe races will be laid out
straightaway from the head of the island
to the bridge for one paddler events and
for races permitting of two paddlers in
canoe. A mixed race for canoeists in
which man and woman in a canoe will
constitute one of the units of the contest
will interest those that gather to witness
the various events. A short course will
be arranged for this last named race that
there may be a goodsized string of en-
tries.
The go-as-you-please race for veteran
canoeists starting from the, bridge, CIR
cling the island, and finishing at the
starting point, from the point of interest
will be the drawing card of the day. Any
canoe may carry as many paddlers or pas
sengers as desired and if a ton of ice
would make things more congenial for
the occupant or occupants of any craft IN
this race there will be no objection inter
posed by the regatta committee. Some
of the old-timers may be expectd to fig
ure in this event.
Suitable trophies will be awarded first
place winners. The races will be open to
club members only. At the close of the
racing program the various craft will be
headed upstream and club members and
invited friends will picnic at some point
on the river for the remainder of the day.

Grinith Hypnotic CO.

Cake walking while hypnotized was
the fnn offered by the Grif-
nth Hypnotic Comedy Company At
the tented theatre on upper Dexter
Avenue. Tuesday night, when the news
boys and carrier boys of The Adver-
tiser were guests of the management.
A large number of subjects were hyp-
noticed, and made TO think they were
veteran dancers on the sanded boards
of a vaudeville theatre.
Although some OF the subjects had
worked during all of the day. the first
chord of the music seemed to Danish
everything from their minds except
the fact that they must dance, Per-
haps the most enjoyabel feature OF the
evenings entertainment was when the
awakening occurred. It had been sug-
gested to the subjects that they were
not properly clothed and their efforts
to get to place OF concealment before
their full consciousness occurred Gre
ated gales Of lnsrriment.
The special feature of the perform
ance scheduled for tonight will be the
awakening of Fac Geraldine from her
hypnotic sleep OF forty-eight hours.
There will also be a hypnotic circus.
