Several years ago ex-Gev. ]. G. Nc
GULL ugh of Bennington gave the Uni
versity of Vermont at Burlington, cup
on which should be inscribed each year
the graduating year of the class which
had the greatest percentage of living
members present at commencement.
Last year the honor fell to the class
of 1865 and this year to the class of 1851.
There is but one surviving member of
each class, in the persons of Francis Far
rell of Fort Dodge, Iowa, and President
NJ. H. Buckham of Burlington, reppec-
lively. The war so depleted the class of
1866 that only three were graduated,
the others beside Mr.. Farrell being Frank
lin Belknap and Henry H. Belknap, both
now deceased. Nineteen were gradu-
ated in the class of 1851, President Buck
ham alone surviving.
The earlirst graduate of the university
now living, is James O'Halloran of Cow
ansville, Que, of the class of 1913, now
So years old, and the oldest graduate in
years is George G. Rice, of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, of the class of 1915, who is 80
years old.

An EIopement at Ludlow

The Ludlow Tribune contained the fol-
lowing item in this weeks issue:
ed last Thursday morning by the an
uouncement that DR.. q. H. Bates had
disappe AIRED, the night before, with his
auto, under circumstances peculiarly
distressing to his family and intimate
friends. Thus far all efforts to trace his
whereabouts have proved unavailing."
The rumor is persistent in Rutland
says The News, that Doctor Bates, who
is married man, was in Rutland few
days ago with former Rutland young
woman.
An attempt to verify the story at Lud-
low was unsuccessful but it is understood
that the state authorities are looking into
the matter.

Repairs for Burlington Break

Uncle Sam intends to keep the break
waters and harbors on Lake Champlain
in good shape, following the repairs and
Improvements of the past few years on
the Burlington breakwater, consider
able sum will be further expended in the
near future. Plattsburg and st. Adams
will also come in for a share and will
each receive appropriations.
Col. F. V. Abbott of Boston, in charge
of such work for New England, has
already received $4,000 for the Bur-
lington breakwater, but as this is not
large enough to complete the project
in view, the report to Washington calls
for S34 ,555 more. The latter will be
used for the maintenance of the inn
provements already made. In addition
to this 500, 600 will be put into the break
water at Plattsburgh, and $1,000 into
improving the harbor at st. Adams,
which is inclined to be shallow and is
full of boulders.
The original breakwater at Burlington
was built over 70 years ago and was
entirely of timber and was therefore not
able to Withstand the onslaught of the
ice and storms. The work done in re-
cent years, however, is of cement, and is
said by the government experts to be as
substantial as any in this section. The
part which is at present most in need of
repairs is north of the gap and at the
south end. The north section is ripping,
being built on a filled foundation and
largely of timber. The extreme south
end is also of this character.
