Fred D., HadIey, Mass, Horse Goes
Two Heats Better Than Record
in Free for All

Manchester, Sept 1.-THE last
day of the Battenkil Valley fair yes
terday was marked by the fastest
trotting ever seen here. In tae free
for-all Fred D., owned by Edward Ly-
ons of Hadley, Mass, took the race
in straight heats, finishing the first
and last in 2:l4, which is half a sec
ond better than has ever before been
done on this track. The horse which
has a record of 2:04A on a mile track
showed that he could better what he
did, but it was a good race, neverthe-
less.
The 1922 pace and the 2:1S trot in
w1ich there were three starters, fur
nished the most exciting race of the
day. 90 1t was won in straight heats by
another of Lyons horses, Stanford,
but it was grueling race all the way
in each heat and In the last the three
were a neck apart.
Bennington horses figured chiefly in
the 2:45 class race, which was limit
ed to horses within the boundaries of
the society. H. +. Burgess Slickey,
which yesterday caused a bad spill,
easily got away with first money in
straight heats, going the second in 2:
Ban.
The running race was won by n
Squires, a ten year old rider, on a
pony. After being thrown when tne
pony attempted to run to the barn in
the first heat, he captured the next
two.
Clifford Shaw, driving A. e Bucks
chestnut. finished first in the peg
race but the judges decided that his
horse broke Slightly on the home
stretch and gave first money to Hen
ry Stone of East Dorset, who finish
ed second. The decision appeared I'M

MR.. ooDFREY's GIFT
Hospital Project Should Be Started
Forward at Once


Forward at Once
TO the Editor of the Banner.-Per.
NIT me, after reading in the columns
of your issue of today, the will of the
late Rufus b. Godfrey, TO offer a few
words in commentator of the truly
fine and broadly humanitarian pur-
pose which this large-hearted man de
sired certain share of his property
should serve, namely, a hospital for
Bennington. The incalculable service
such an institution wisely planned
and administered, could render TO the
town and vicinity, would be that which
years alone would tell. Those who
doubt its need have only to read Of
the numerous instances of physicians
from the neighboring city of Troy be
ing called in consultation in local ca
SEES. Hardly week passes without
additions to the large quota of those
who have already received medical
treatment in the hospitals of Troy and
Albany. Those in authority in these
institutions are. reported as making
the statement that large percentage
of their cases are people from Ben
nington.
An argument, not without weight,
is often advanced that the city hospit-
al, with its better service, with its
collection of paraphernalia and appli-
ances SO highly perfected can provide
comforts and conveniences which the
hospital in the town or village cannot
offer Yet in towns no larger nor
richer than Bennington just such gen.
erosity as Mr.. Godfrey possessed, to-
gether with an awakened civic spirit,
have opened the way for hospitals,
which are a credit and whose spheres
of usefulness are being widened year
by year. If hospital for Bennington
is practicable, and believe 1t is, let
us hope that the wish of this man
may be crystallized into fulfillment
before the enthusiasm engendered by
this generous gift shall leave us.

ENJOYABLE AND PROFITABLE
Concert by Colored ,ouartette fol
Benefit of the Local Y. M. c. A.

The concert given Wednesday eve
ming at the Baptist church by quar-
tette of colored singers was not only
enjoyed by the audience which nearly
filled the church auditorium but the
entertainment was a complete success
from a financial standpoint. The To-
cal Y. NJ. c. A. treasury will receive
substantial addition. from the pro-
ceeds.
During the evening Miss Evans,
who is at work in the cause of estab-
fishing a training school for colored
nurses in the south, presented the
plan to tle audience. Miss Evans
impressed her listeners as an excep'
tionally intelligent woman and her re-
marks were of unusual interest. 1t is
to be hoped that at some time in the
near future the people of Bennington

commendable project.
