Brief Information Paragraphs
Concerning Coming Events.

The success of the celebration at every
point can be unfavorably effected only
by bad weather. All features that are
not now ready will be made ready.
There is not hitch in sight.
The sentiment and special effort of the
Burlington people officially connected
with the coming Tercentenary and of all
the citizens who have the good name and
fair fame of the city uppermost in their
minds, is emphatically opposed to every
| form of extortionary practices during
the progress of the event. No doubt, in
some small ways these practices may
be beyond home control, but every effort
will be put forth against them. 1t is de-
sired that every visitor receive fair treat
ment and the most for his money.
Events of this kind have sometimes suf-
fered from general extortion in the local
tiles where they were celebrated, but
nothing of the sort has the approval,
officially or popularity, of the citizens of
Burlington at this time.
Special features of Champlain Day at
| Vergennes next Saturday will be base
ball games between some of the best
teams in the state. Randolph High
school, which claims the high school
championship of Vermont, will play the
local high school, and another game
scheduled, perhaps more interesting, will
be between nine made up of the best
players in Addison county and the Eliza
BEETHOVEN, N. Y, team.
Recent reports from Swanton empha-
size the perfection of the preparation in
that town for its Champlain Day next
Saturday. No disappointments what
ever have come forward to complicate
its progress as previously announced.
1t will be big day for Swanton and no
town deserves the success more. 1t took
early start in getting ready for its honor.

been prepared and developed with skill

The monster amphitheater at the wa
ter front in Burlington is completed with
a seating capacity of 5000. There will
take place the pageants, and the great
presentation, in appropriate costumes, OF
the Indian drama of Hiawatha. Besides
all of the fireworks displays, motor
boat and sailing races, and illuminated
boat parade will be seen from the amphi
theatre. To assure accommodations for
these features there should be no delay
in reserving seats, Seats may be ordered
