EXCITING RACES
AT BARRE MONDAY
Three Thousand People Saw Three
Events-Accident In the Last
Heat Not Serious.

Events-Accident In the Last |
Heat Not Serious.
While no exceptionally fast time
was made at the races of the Cen
tlemen's Driving Club at Barre on
Monday afternoon, the contests were
sufficiently exciting to hold the
crowd on the grounds to witness the
outcome of the last heat Of the 2.1S
class, which resulted in a victory
for Allinetta, after five heats had
been raced. About 1900 persons
were on the grounds during the at
ternoon, despite the fact that large
number from Barre had left for
Burlington to see the celebration in
that city.
The classes raced during the af-
ternoon were 800, 2.27 and 2.1S,
the former having purse OF 800
attached to it, while the second had
$3.50 and the last $175, which made
a very fair thing for the winner of
the race. OF the four starters in
the three minute class, Conway was
by far the best of the lot and had no
difficulty in walking away with the
first honors, while DR.. Stiles, Lady
Beryl and Idolnut finished in the
order named. At the close of the
race, Conway, the winner Of the
race was put under the hammer and
sold to the highest bidder, who turn
ed out to be Charles Gordon Of Bar
re, the purchasing price being s305.
In the 2.27 class, the Lady of
Websterville proved herself the best
in the lot, and romped home at the
head of the field in every heat, with
Foxy Jane a close second and Col
den Maid and Wilkie Collins fol-
lowing. The fastest time in this
race was 2.261s, made in the first
heat. In the 2.16 class, Ben Hur,
owned by A. w. Winch of Barre.
took the first two heats, but was
last in the next three. while Oradell.
owned by L. M. Seaver Of Williams
town captured the third heat, after
which Allinetta, driven by e. A.
Sunderlin of Lebanon, N. H., ran
off the last two sessions, taking first
money for the race. Only five heats
were raced according to one of the
conditions on the printed schedule
of races sent out to the various
horsemen who entered for the rae
ing, which provided that each race
should be limited to five heats. Or
adell made the fastest time in this
race by making the circuit in 2.19h
final heat the Outlaw and Ben Hur
had bad smashup on the back
stretch, when the outlaw broke and
Ben Hur, driven by F. A. Slayton
of Barre, struck his sulky, throwing
Charles Gordon, his driver, to the
earth, while Ben Hur was tripped
somersault in the air, his driver be-
ing hurled into the ditch at the side
of the track. Beyond broken shaft
on the Outlaws sulky, no damage
was done, strange as it may seem,
for both hores and drivers were in
great danger for a few moments.
The officials in charge of the after
Moons races were, c. F. Pike of
Windsor, starter; L. G. Hammett
of East Montpelier, S. d. Allen of
Barre and c. E. Moody of Water
bury, judges; F. A. Duffy, clerk of
the course.
In addition to the races, a ball
game between the Barre Independ-
ents and East Barre was played on
the grounds, the former team win
ming by the score of II to 8. The
batteries were, East Barre, Rourke
and Taplin; Independents, Oleson
and LHoW1av

CHAMPLAIN.
By J. P Mari

When the committee having in
charge the Tercentenary exercises
selected Bliss Carman to be the
poet of the occasion, some of the
state papers expressed the opinion
that home talent could we'll have
been selected for this work, the
Bennington Banner suggesting J.
P. MARI of Barre as the man for
that position Although the selec-
ton had been made, the suggestion
caused Mr.. Mari to cultivate the
muse and the result Is the excellent
poem to Champlain, printed be-
low:
1t was the age of stirring deeds,
OF valor and of war;
And DER the throne Of France there
rose
The white plume OF Navarro;
And red blood fred the hearts Of
men
In distant lands to roam,
When England's virgin queen lay
dead
And James sat on her throne.
It was the age of chivalry,
The gallant and the free,
When daring spirits sailed away
To lands beyond the sea;
And 'mong the dauntless ones who
sailed
Across the Spanish main
No drawer ever trod the deck
Than Samuel de Champaign.
Not with the lust Of gold he came,
Not with the pirates lance,
He planted on Quebec's proud
height
The banner of New France,
And meath its sheltering folds he
raised
The cross Of Christ on high
And sang the hymns of Christendom
Beneath the azure sky.
On streams where white men never
sailed.
On lands they neer had trod,
Into the unknown world he bore
The banner of his God
Amidst the dark he gropes his way,
Lit by the frefy's CLEAN
And the reflection Of the stars
That danced upon the stream.
The day breaks and the light of
1llumes the mountains crest,
And glistening in the golden dawn
He sees the lakes clear breast.
o, dream of dreams No mortal eye
Fer saw a scene so fair
OF lake and mount and stream and
tree
And sky of beauty rare.
The dun deer drank its limpid wave,
The eagle scared on high,
he iuoOSe uuuduuIeu IOdLueu Us
shores,
The wild ducks circled by,
The red fox peered from out the
green
That fringed the waters blue,
And strange wild birds on plumaged
wing
| Ger bay and headland flew.
And as he breasted DER it's wave
Still grander grew the scene.
Headland and bay in bright array
And isles of emerald green;
| And mountains rose on either side
Bathed in the summer air;
No spot l ween was ever seen
That could with this compare.
The woods dark green, the waters
| sheen
| To his bewildered eyes
Seemed like some dream, no earthly
| scene,
| But gate of Paradise.

TEDDY'S TROPHIES ARE
ALL IN FINE SHAPE.
Taxidermists Report Specimens in En-
cellem Condition.

Washington Oct. 22.--Taxidermist
ed that every one of the skins in the
collection of Roosevelt trophies of the
hunt which were received at the insti-
tuition several days ago are in excel
lent cvondition
The examination Of the trophies by
the museum experts was commenced
and so far the examiners have not
found single article that was not
in perfect condition. There was con-
siderable speculation as to the man
ner in which the skins and other tro-
plies should be prepared for the long
trip to Washington. and taxidermists
held widely divergent views on the
subject.
The skins are being repacked. and
will be stored until the return OF Col
Roosevelt. Some of the trophies are
said to be the finest specimens ever
received here This is especially true
nj the case of the hippopotamus, rhi-
noceros and cheetah skins. The hip-
popotamus skin is one of the largest
ever received at the Smithsonian In
stitution. Along with the skins came
complete set of bones of the hippi,
and the skin will be mounted on the
bones. The bones of number of
other animals are also among the tro-
phies, and will be used in mounting
the hides.

REV, ". A. BROOKS
GIVES HIS VIEWS
Thinks Americas viii Not
Let DR.. Anthony Go.
Savannah Morning News.)

Rev. w. A. Brooks of Brooklet, Bull
loch county, the minister in charge OF
the Methodist station there, was in Sa-
vannah yesterday The ministers OF
South Georgia conference, he says, are
up in the air, as it were.
The death of several bishops in
Southern Methodism of late will cause
REIMBURSEMENT that has put the
preachers to guessing. Bishop A. w
Wilson of Baltimore will be the pre-
siding bishop at the assembling of the
South Georgia conference, which
meets at Waynesboro December /.
Bishop Hendrix was assigned to this
conference for the last few years and
the ministers had begun to have a
pretty good gauge on any changes
likely to occur somewhat in advance
OF the meeting of the conference
With a new bishop it is different, for
he will be new to the field and will
have to take his bearings himself, as
it We're. True, there is the college OF
presiding elders, the bishops cabi-
net and they will be advisory to any
action the bishop may take
Mr.. Brooks looks for many changes
in the Savannah district. There has
been some talk, he says, of the Rev
DR.. Bascom Anthony coming to this
district as presiding elder He doesn't
take much stock in that report, how
ever, but rather thinks the chances
are most favorable for DR.. Anthony to
remain in charge of the church IL
Americas. Mr. Brooks, before entering
the Methodist ministry, was in the
newspaper business, and while he hello
down the chair editorial, ran the
Americas News, and he is somewhat
conversant with the wants of the
Methodists in that thriving little city
His information is that the church
there will not part with DR.. Anthony
If they can prevent it, and if a salary
consideration is the only thing to
stand in the way of the bishop and his
cabinet in returning Dr.. Anthony to
that charge, he will certainly go back
there. One member is quoted as say
ing that they would retain him ii they
had to increase the salary to three
thousand dollars per annum. 1t is
understood the present salary is TWEEN
ty-two hundred dollars and it was
raised to that point to even get Dr.
Anthony in the first place.

PROSPERITY WAVE
INDICATED BY ORDERS
Enormous Supplies Called
for BY Railroads.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 22,-That the re-
vival of business and general conf
dence has taken new grip on ship
pers and manufacturers is indicated
by orders that have been placed for
cars and locomotives by various com
panies.
Railroad men say that the great vol
ume of business that has been booked
for manufacturers will necessitate an
enormous outlay by the railroads for
new equipment Orders for cars and
locomotives aggregating $3.50, 900
have been placed within the last
week
The Baltimore & Ohio, the Erie and
the Norfolk & Western Railways have
arranged for total of 80 new loco
motives at an approximate value OF
$4850.OOO The New York Central
system has placed orders here for
1900 steel cars of the gondola type,
with an approximate value of S4 ,000.-
600 Orders for 10000 steel cars and
10 locomotives have been placed pre-
vious to the latest orders.
The largest order for locomotives
ever placed at one time by a railroad,
became known when it was
learned that the Baltimore & Ohio
will place orders for 250 engines of
various types among different locomo-
tive works over the country.
Railroad men expect the heaviest
freight traffic in years, starting the
first of the year and all lines are plac-
ing orders for additional cars.

$4,000 WORKING GIRLS
MAY SAVE HER FROM JAIL
Contribute % Cents Each to Free Miss
IOnes, Who Stole for Sweetheart.

Pittsburg, Oct 22-An appeal has
been sent out to $4,000 working girls
in Pittsburg to contribute % cents
each toward raising the $4,000 yet
needed to save from prison Stella
Jones, the young bookkeeper, who
stole $4,000 for her sweetheart. 1t is
understood that if the money is re-
turned to her employers, from whom
she took it, the prosecution will be
dropped
More Imam five hundred young wo-
men have sent in their contributions,
many of them promising to send the
25 cents several times per week. Miss
Jones' pastor and several of her fell
low Sunday school teachers have been
appointed assistant treasurers for the
fund
The family physician has ordered
the stopping of every clock in the
Jones home, as the young woman
would rise and scream in terror every
time a clock struck, thinking it was
the clang of the patrol wagon bell
coming to take her to prison.
