M Ii d dlebury Grange Meeting.

On Friday evening, May 26, there
was a meeting of Middlebury Grange
which was open to the public after the
business meeting. The pr ogram was a
lecture by Prof. Washburn of the Bur-
lington Experiment station on "A Study
of Agriculture, and everybody who
heard it went away with higher ideal
to live up to on the farm and better
idea of the business of farming.
To hear Prof. Washburn speak makes
one realize he loves his work, and he is
ready to give to everyone at any time,
of his remarkable supply of informa-
ton and knowledge of farm work and
problems. The Grange was fortunate
indeed in securing his services and all
who failed to hear him missed much
more than they realize.
The next meeting of the Grange will
be held Friday, June 8, and the pro-
gram will concern itself particularly
with women's work on the farm. Sew.
eral members will give helpful and in.
teresting ideas, but the men will not be
neglected.

MlDDLEBURY WINS GAME.
Beats New Hampshire State by
the Score of tot

In the last and best home game of the
season Middlebury College beat New
Hampshire State College, 2 to /, Sat-
urday afternoon. 1t was a shut-out
game until the seventh when Welch
got a two-base hit, went to third on
Mixers grounder and scored on Will
liam's muff of Wray's throw from left
after the latter had caught McPheter' s
fly. The locals did not score until the
ninth. In that inning Vail, the first
man up, drew pass and Weafer sent
him home with clean three-bagger to
center. This tied the score and Weafer
tailed the winning run on Wray's slow
grounder in short.
Both pitchers pitched good ball and
kept the hits well conferred. Middle
bury had little the best of the field
ing game. The infeld was especially
strong with men on bases and two of
the three double plays helped Stillson
out of difficulties. Stillson had perfect
control and showed good head-work by
striking out men at critical times.
The score:
New Hampshire 100000 o.
Middlebury 100000 p

College Dramatics

Those who have the production of
Peeles "Old Wives Tale" in charge at
Middlebury college, continue to report
satisfactory progress. There are GER
tain features of the play which make
it unique even among Elizabethan
plays. The chief of these is a device
by which group of actors who intro
duce the play remain upon the stage as
spectators during the rest Of the action,
commenting occasionally upon the
scenes presented, and closing the whole
with few words of comment. In "The
Old Wives Tale" there are three vaga-
bonds lost at nighttime in the woods.
They are discovered by blacksmith
and taken to his cottage, where after
some little conversation, one of them
goes to bed with the smith and the
other two sit by the fire to hear his wife,
Madge, tell them stories. She has
scarcely finished giving in outline
the story she is to relate when suddenly
brought to life before her eyes the
characters of her story come crowding
out of the fireplace, enacted all before
the astonished gaze of the cold Wife"
and her two companions. Possibly
Peele showed his knowledge of human
nature in making the three go to sleep
before the play ends only to wake in
the morning after the last character has
returned to fairy-land through the fire
place out of which he came.
Besides this device for taking out of
the Old Wives mouth the very telling
of the story, Peele has seen fit to make
use of the country festivities of sowing
and reaping for the introduction into
the midst of the story of dances by
harvestmen and women on their way to
and from the fields. The present pro-
ducers of the play have followed in this
lead and have seen fit to enhance the
fairy atmosphere which surrounds it all
by fairy dances with prologue and cpl
logue at the beginning and end of the
play and elsewhere within it, during
which will be sung songs of Peele's set
to old time music. The management is
fortunate in having secured the assist
ance of Miss Caroline Crawford of the
Teachers college, Columbia university,
in arranging and staging all the dances.
Miss Crawford staged all the dances
which added so much to the attractive
ness of the "Blue-B Bird" as presented
during last winter at the New Theatre
in New York, and is developing at
Middlebury some very beautiful and
harmonious effects.
We feel the effort which Middle
bury is making to arouse an interest
more than academic in drama of high
class produced with an attempt at
scholarly attention to accuracy in de-
tail is worth the attention and patronage
of all interested in lettering the condi-
tons of life within our state.
