Chester possesses plausible claims to
be the birthplace of the British turf.
1t was one William Lester, who about
1000, ''being mayor of Chester, did
cause three silver bells to be made of
good value to be run for upon the
Roode Dee" This seems the earliest
definite establishment of horse race.
From the nature of the prize was de-
rived the proverb ITO bear the bell"
though the bells in this case existed
long before the ring" Our ancestors

to be seen in the whole world of the
wonderful apparent coloring of bodies
of water is the marvelously beautiful
Blue lake in Switzerland. Encom-
passed on all sides by lofty mountains,
their lower ranges luXuriantly clothed
with verdure down to the edge of the
water and adorned with many fine for
est trees, while their higher activities
are CARRIED in a mantle of eternal snow,
the little lake. nesting in its deep hol-
low basin and protected from winds
and storms. is quite startling in its
singular and strange beauty. The
water. although really pure and color
less. appears to be of a most vivid and
intense sky blue. And its transparency
is so remarkable that small nickel
coin dropped into the water in the
center of the lake can be seen gyrat-
ing downward until it reaches the bot
tom. apparently more than hundred
feet beneath.

Mrs. James Duncan, a lifelong resi-
dent ofIMiddlebury, passed to the life
beyond at her home on Court street,
Monday evening, August o.
Although in poor health for the past
several years her final illness was of
but short duration.
Mrs. Duncan was born April IS, 1874
and was married to Mr.. Duncan in
1866. She is survived by her husband,
three children and three grandchildren.
The children are a son, Gardner Dun
can, and daughters, Mrs. George Rose
of Middlebury and Mrs. H. E. Cook OF
Brandon.
Mrs. Duncan was for the past thirty
two years a consistent member of the
Congregational church. She was a
kind neighbor, devoted and conscien-
tious wife and mother, and a loving
grandmother, always thoughtful for
others. Her sufferings were patiently
and courag eously borne.
Funeral services were held at the
home Wednesday afternoon at three

and interment was made in the West
cemetery. The bearers were Alexan-

BIG POWER PLANT.
Vermont Marble Company to Gen.
crate EIe etricity at Beldens
for Its Fails.


Surveyors from Proctor have, for the
last few days, been laying out an cleo
trio line from Huntington Falls at Bel
dens to the Vermont Marble company's
mills at Proctor, Center Rutland and
West Rutland. The company will be-
gin at once the constru ction at the falls
of one of the largest dams in this state.
An electric power house will be con-
structed, and by means of cables and
poles, which are now being placed, the
Vermont company will carry the cleo
tricity to the above mentioned towns to
operate the machinery at their quarries
and mills.
The Huntington Falls, with two other
smaller water powers, were purchased
by George c. Underhill of Rutland
some months ago. At the time of SALE
it was rumored that the purchase was
for New York men, who intended to es-
tablish large manufacturing plant
near the falls. Soon after the property
was transferred to Mr.. Underhill the
Vermont company began surveying in
that locality, and with the water from
two smaller dams, will create what will
be one of the largest and most complete
water powers in the state.
