"a VACATION THAT PAYS"
At Silver Bay at Lake George to Be
Discussed at c. &. Convention.

At Silver Bay at Lake George to Be
Discussed at c. e. Convention.
In this busy world of today many
have so saort vacation that they
believe in taking one which will be
inspiring, instructive, and still give
them time for recreation. TO meet
this demand for such vacations sum
mer institutes, and conferences, are
held in attractive and healthful To-
calities.
One such locality is Silver Bay on
Lake George. Here the college girls,
and Y NJ G. A. boys love to spend a
| few weeks each summer. And here,
too, are held the Sunday School and
Missionary Conferences in July.
Usually there are over fixe hundred
| in attendance at the missionary con
ference each year. and in the past
six years about a dozen of BenDing.
tons young people have been dele
gates there.
| But Silver Bay cannot possibly en-
terrain all who desire this kind of a
vacation. In Vermont we have our
Green Mountain Institute at our
Mecca of the Hills, Fairfax. While
the institute Is conducted on much
tae same lines as that at Silver Bay
1t is not rival one. Each work
with the other, thus providing al
Fairfax an inexpensive opportunity
for those unable TO go to Silver Bay
Fairfax is nine miles from historic
Lake Champaign, and is midway be
tween Burlington and st. Adams
Within Sixteen miles is Mt. Mansfield
which is still covered with snow. An
eighty-foot waterfall in the Lamoille
River is one of the chief attractions
of the beautiful town.
Those who are interested, and wish
to hear more about these institutes
are cordially invited to attend the
County G. Il. Convention at the Ban
fist Church. North Bennington. or
| Friday. Rev. w. w. Brunk of the
Methodist church will speak on the
Silver Bay Conferences. He has
twice been delegate to those con
ferences. Rev Frank r. Morris who
VIII conduct the Bible Study Glasses
at Fairfax will speak of the Greer
Mountain Institute.

O'BR|EN STAYS SIX
ROUNDS WITH
JOHNSON
Champion Unable to Knock Out
Philadelphia Pugiiist
CLEvERLY BLOCKS NEGRO
Three Times Forced to His Knees ny
Heavier Antagonist But Makes
Good Showing

Philadelphia, May 2O.-Jack John
son. the big colored heavyweight,
failed to win over Jack O'Brien, the
Philadelphia light heavyweight, last
night in a six-round bout The hight
was even, and the concensus OF opin-
ion was that it should have been
draw, had a decision been permls-
sible. O'Brien's marvelously fast
footwork and his superior blocking
saved him from damage in severai
close mixes and three times he was
forced to his knees by the great
strength and weight Of Johnson In
the clinches.
1t was a fast fight, O'Brien doing
most of the leading. Johnson was
slow on his feet, and appeared not 10
be in the best condition. Repeatedly
the champion rushed his smaller an
tagonist, but seldom landed effective
ly. A right hand counter in the fifth
round cut O'Brien's right eye, and
this was the total of the damage done
| in the six rounds.
OBrien was in and out like a fash
| in nearly every round, stabbing John
son on the face, but the blows lacked
force and had no effect other than to
make the big black man grin and
wave his hand at the crowd. 1he
spectators shouted wildly every time
OBrien landed, and hooted Johnson
for his apparent rough work In the
clinches.
O'Brien weighed 1921 pounds,
| while Johnson acknowledged his
weight was 205, and it was probably
more.
johnson looked tired and anxious
in tne fourth round, and O'Brien ap-
peared confident throughout the bout.
He certainly fought game fight"
said Referee Guigan.
Johnson had nothing to say after
the bout except that he thought he
had the better of it. O'Brien was en-
thusiastic over his showing.

Makes SO Per Cent of Cures.

DIR. Leonhardt's Hem-Roid has been
tested in several thousand cases, and
was successful in all but two per

Hem-Roid's wonderful record is due
to the fact that 1t is an internal rem

some people that the noldup was per-
petrated by local young men of the
reckless type and was done more in
the nature of sport.

STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT
To Be Held on Mt. Anthony Course in
August

The annual tournament of the Yer
mont state golf association will be
held on the course of tne Mt. Anthony
country club August 4, 5, 6 and Z.
Although the course is only in its
third season its condition this year is
pronounced by some of the members
of the club who nave recently arrived
here from the south to be decidedly
superior to grounds over which they
have been playing.
VIM. Mcdonald, who has been with
the club for the past IL seasons, is
justly proud of the condition of the
greens this spring. The drouth of last
season has apparently wrought no in
jury to the course and it is expected
That 1t will be at top notch shape for
the tournament.

SPOR
SOME ONE TO GET
STUNG BY FIGHT
That is the Prediction of Eddie
Smith, a Sport Writer
nv Eddie Smith }

Oakland. Dec. 9.-The hunch that
the man who gets the contest at the
figures mentioned in the bids will be
most properly stung Is more than ever
strongly impressed on the mind OF the
writer. and 1t certainly does look TO
me as If the boys were trying 10 out
bid one another for the glory of the
thing and not through keen business
judgment.
Rickard sort Of forced himself to the
front In the affair Just as he did when
he dropped like thunderoolt from
the sky and offered $4,000 for the
Gans-Nelson fight at Goldfield.
Rickard secured that contest and
made good with it. but he has failed
to make good with several nSnt
schemes since that time,
To even think for one second that
Tex Rickard is n fool, however, is al
together wrong. He is anything but
that and just what he will do with
the contest no one can at this time
predict, with any degree of correct
ness. That Coffroth is not disap-
pointed at not getting the contest is
best proven through a letter received
by the writer this morning in which
the promoter says.
IF am to get the fight it will have
to be at a figure that Will allow some
chance for making money. II com
bination is entered into l shall not en-
ter Il unless there is chance to get
the money The fighters appear 10
want the whole thing and If the bid
ders go as high as they are predict
Ing about New York some one Will
get stung.'
Coffroth further says that mutual
California friends were responsible
for the bringing of himself and Glea-
son together in the bidding That
Gleason has entered into several
schemes there seems no doubt, but.
Judging from the letter of Coffroth
there is little danger of the Colma man
being In on the combination With

KILLING PACE PUTS
WEAK TEAMS TO REAR

New York. Dec. S.-A killing pace
Is gradually pushing the weak teams
into the rear In the six-day bicycle
race at Madison Square Garden.
Just before o'clock tonight, Clark
the Australian sprinter climbed high
upon the outer edge OF one OF the
turns and shot down into the saucer
again at the top OF his speed Before
the field could got under way he had
opened up a lead OF a quarter OF
lap, and a desperate scramble for
some time followed.
Trainers swarmed around the rail
Ing pushing out fresh partners, and
for time 1t seemed that all the rid
ers were on the track at once. For
twenty minutes the furious drive held
unslacleened among much confusion
and the scorers had difficulty in reck-
oning the distance.
When the men grouped themselves
In some semblance OF order again 1t
was announced that Cannon and
Krebs. Mitten and West, Anderson and
Vanoni. Hill and Stein, Calvin and
Keegan and the two Georgets had
lost a lap and that the leaders were
fourteen niles and four laps ahead of
the record.
AT 10 o'clock tonight the men had
gained another mile and three laps
on the record with position un-
changed,
At IL o'clock they had gained again,
and the figures stood .i1S.6 miles for
the seventy-tirst hour, lead of 16
miles three laps over the mark Of
1.402 made last year by Hill and De-
mara
