the entrance of New York harbor in
his aeroplane yesterday, while in the
upper part of the city two huge dirigi-
bic balloons fell ingloriously to earth.
This, the first day of flight of the
Hudson-Fulton celebration, was vic
tory for the heavier-than-air machine.
Both Wright and Glenn H. Curtiss
scared successfully from the aero.
drome on Governors island in their
motor-propelled bi-planes; both great
dirigibles, managed by Capt. Thomas
Baldwin and George l.. Tomlinson, re-
spectively, and entered in the New

WHITNEY's STATEMENT
explains Why He Did Not Return for
Cooks Articles.

1
New York. Sept. 30.-The following
dispatch has been received by the AS
ISOLATED Press from Harry Whitney,
The New Haven hunter who returned
St Johns, N. F., by the schooner
| Ieanie from Greenland and is on his
way home:-
Stephenville Crossing, N. F.,
Sept. 29:-
so many questions are being ask
ed of me by different papers that
desire to make the following state
ment through the Associated Press.
My reasons for not going back to
Etah after DR.. Cooks things were
that the engine in the jeanne, one of
the smallest boats that ever went to
the North Arctic, was not working
satisfactorily. and we were depending
partly on sails. which later we had to
do entirely. There was no reason
why the jeanne could not have gone
back. but not knowing that DIR.
Cooks things left with me We're
of such Importance as they have
since turned out to be, | did not re-
turn. In addition, l had promised the
Eskimos, who were with me after
musk oxen Ill EllSuleel lduui CSi tam
things which l expected on the ship
coming for me. but they were not
aboard the Jeanne and | did not want
to return and disappoint the men. An
other reason was that | wanted to
prolong my hunting trip, which ] was
abe to do by not going back but by
cutting across Smith Sound from
North Star bay and following the
edge of the ice south.
Il do not believe that either pr;,
Cook or Commander Peary, if placed
in my position, would have done any
differently than did, nor would they
having started south for civilization
AVE turned back. l had never seen
DIR. Cook until l met him in the Arc
tic. He told me he had been to the
North Pole and was pledged not
to reveal this fact to Commander
Peary. but l could say that he had
gone further north than Peary IN
1906. -,

Bratteboro. Sept. 30.-There were
100 paid admissions at the opening
day of the oath annual Valley fair
The exhibition in Agricultural hall
equals that of previous years as do the
exhibits in Floral hall. Although the
cattle show is smaller than usual what
it lacks in quantity is made up in
quality. The poultry show is the lar
gest ever known here and the sheep
department ranks higher than ever
before. A good string of fancy hor-
SEES is shown. Farming and agricul-
tural implements occupy large space.
The First regiment V. n. G. band is
furnishing the music.
The track is in good condition and
fair time was made in the racing ev-
ents. In the second heat of the 1921
stake pace the driver of Jimmie V.
was thrown underneath the sulky and
dragged for several yards, but clam
bered to his seat and finished the
race.

MUSICAL COMEDY WITH A PLOT
"Three Twins" Which Appears at the
opera House Monday Evening.

The real treat of the season is in
store for local theatregoers when
Jos. NJ. Gates presents Three
Twins" the New York and Chicago
musical success appears at the Ben
nington Opera house next Monday
evening.
Three Twins" ran for five months
, In Chicago and ten months at the Her
aid Square Theatre in New York, and
was the pet of Broadway.
The company presenting Three
Twins" numbers over seventy people.
Jos. NJ. Gates has not spared expense
in his production. as it takes two bag
gage cars to carry the scenery and eff
fects. Three Twins" unlike many
comedies is not dependent upon its
clever players for its success, as 1t is
a musical comedy with plot which
grows more interesting as each COM
plication arises; it is a story OF mis-
taken identity.
The Twins" are neither twins nor
triplets, but are two men, who resem-
be each other and a third who imper-
sonates these two to enable him to
win the hand of the girl he loves
he chorus is composed of the pick
of Broadway, and five musicians are
carried to augment the local orchestra
The n usic is particularly catchy.

END OF WAR WITH MooRs
Spanish Aarmy Has Taken Strong
hold of the Tribesmen.

Madrid, Sept 3O-It is officially an
nounced that the Spanish troops have
occupied Mount Guruga, the strong
hold of the Moorish tribesmen 1t is
believed that this means the end OF
SPANS warfare with Morocco.
Abroad the victory is expected to
enhance Spanish prestige greatly
and the policy of nonInterference, to
which the powers subscribed, VIII
give the Spanish government an OPP,
portunity to reap the full benefit OF
the country's military success. Little
doubt exists that the government in
tends to take advantage of the situa
ton to extend its sphere of influence
in Africa and possibly to realize the
dream of so many Spaniards, by the
creation of an important colony in AT
RIGA to compensate for the humiliat
ing losses beyond the seas.
