Charles NJ Hamilton, the well known
aviator who has startled crowds on
both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
and made brilliant records, will give
the advertised exhibitions of flying
at the Vermont State fair here begin
ming Wednesday. Sept 20, and on the
two remaining days of the fair. Three

will take his place II will be remem-
bered that Hamilton made the fight
from New York to Philadelphia and
return year ago and since that time
has been giving exhibitions at prac-
tically all the big aviation meets.
The Curtiss company promise no
disappointments and Hamilton has
wired Secretary Davis that even UNI
der most unfavorable conditions he
will go into the air and make good.
Hamilton is known as a most expert

VERMONT RAILROAD CHANGES
MeIlen Lines Apparently Trying To
Get Flrmer Foothold

Montpelier. Sept 15.-Although
President Mellen OF the New York,
New Haven and Hartford lines was
reticent about his plans on his recent
trip through portions OF Vermont,
there are we'll defined rumors in rail
road circles that would indicate i'm
portant changes and development TO
occur In the state at a time not too
far distant. The Mellen party went
over the St Johnsbury and Lake
Champlain line to Alburg this week.
This line connects with the Rutland
road now owned by the Boston and
Maine.
II has been rumored that the
Maine Central would take over and
operate the St Johnsbury and Lake
Champlain with headquarters at St
Johnsbury and western division
from st. Johnsbury to Alburg and an
eastern division from St Johnsbury
to Portland. Me. This rumor has
been conceded pretty generally.
Another rumor gains grounu that
the Boston and Maine and the Central
Vermont will build double trackage
from Montpelier TO Essex Junction
and II is said a survey has been made
toward this object From Essex to
Burlington is the old Burlington and
Lamollle way which has been given
up but which still exists and which
the Central Vermont will put into use
and the Boston and Maine will con
meet at Burlington.

Frederick HerreshOff Meets
Harold Hilton
AMATEUR CHAMP l0NSHlP
Hilton Has Been Playing in Great
Form and Is Picked AS the
Winner
AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

New York, Sept. 16.-Can Frederick
Herreshoff of New York, a nephew of
the designer of four Americas cup de-
tenders, prevent Harold H. Hilton OF
England from adding an American to
his British amateur golfing champi-
onship and carry the Havemeyer cup
to the Royal Liverpool golf club? This
interesting question was debated at
length at the close of the semi-final
round of the national championship
yesterday at Rye, N. Y and ardently
discussed at the clambake at which
the Apawamis club entertained its
golfing guests last night. Hilton won
his place in the finals yesterday by
putting out Charles w. Inslee of the
Wykagyl club of New Rochelle, up
and to play
Herreshoff had a much harder pro-
position in Charles Evans. Jr.. Of the
Edgewater club of Chicago, who sue
cunbed on the 10th green of the af-
ternoon play, where his opponent won
by score OF up and 2 to play. In
the finals today Hilton's chances over
Herreshoff were quoted last night at
about 2 to l. To the 500 golf enthu-
slasts including many women, who
braved a southeast rainstorm 10 see
their favorite game in the hands OF
its most brilliant opponents. Evans
was strong favorite over Herreshoff
who is playing from the Ekwanok club
of Manchester, VT, and there were
many who were surprised when the
young westerner tossed away hole af-
ter hole in the afternoon play after
establishing what looked to be com
handing lead of three holes at the
end OF the morning round.
In playing Herreshoff today Hilton
will meet one of the American yeter-
ans of the links, and man perhaps
capable of playing more brilliant golf
! than anyone else in this country. He
was runner-up to Chandler Egan at
Baltusrol in 1902. and took the medal
| in the qualifying round at the country
club last year. In addition he has
been metropolitan champion several
years. His home is In Garden City
l.. |.
Today's match will start at 10 a. m
and will be a 36-hole affair A gold
medal and the Hayemeyef cup awaits
the winner, but the latter trophy
must be returned to the association
at the next championship. The Josef

BURGLARS GOT ALL
THE MONEY THEY
COULD CARRY
British Columbia Bank Robbed
Of S3l5,OO0
CLEANED OUT THE VAULT
Robbers Are Thought To Be Still In
the Vicinity But are Not
Located

Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 16.-Three
hundred and fifteen thousand dollars
was stolen early yesterday from the
branch of the bank of Montreal in
Westminster B. c. Five burglars en-
tered the bank by the front door,
broke through the thin metal coating
OF the vault, blew the safe by charges
OF nitroglycerin and got clear away
with their booty without being seen
except by Chinese caretaker They
probably escaped down the Frazier
river in launch or else by automo
bile toward Vancouver
There was in all $350,0O0 in the
bank safes. Chief of Police Brad
shaw believes the men would have
taken it all If they could have car
ried 1t. AS it was, they took all they
could carry away, leaving all the sill
yer and notes of small denominations
as well as damaged $500 and $40 bills
lying around the floor and tables of
the room of one of the clerks
The first known OF the robbery was
when Chinese caretaker appeared
at the police station at go o'clock
and gave the alarm. He had manag-
ed to work loose from the bonds with
which he had been tied after the rob
bers had departed. Chief of Police
Bradshaw hurried to the scene and
all of the available officers were
pressed into service, but the only OBJ
tainable clew was that given by the
Chinaman. From the thoroughness
of the job and the tools with which
the work was done the Westminster
officers believe the same gang which
has been at work in Vancouver, turn
ed the work at Westminster.
II is impossible to say just when
the men effected their entrance into
the Dank, but 1t is presumed that il
was some time about o'clock yester-
day morning, for the Chinese janitor
arrived shortly after 4 O'clock to
clean up he found that three men
had been doing a little cleaning up
on their own account and before the
Chinaman could give the alarm he
was sandbagged and gagged and tied
to chair. Then the robbers proceed
ed to collect the gold and bills in the
vault and left the building some time
before 5 o'clock, taking more than a
quarter OF a million with them, leav
ing about 100000 in the vault be
hind. That the robbers are still in
the vicinity is apparent by the finding
of a powerful automobile stolen from
T. J. Traps garage. broken down IN
front Of the Young Mems Christian
association building. 1t is thought
the robbers started to get away il
the machine and then had to abandon
II. Usually there is a Waterman OF
the premises but he was on his vaca
ton. II is evident the robbers knew
OF this for in his room the loot wal
tied up and blankets from his be,
were used to deaden the noise of tn,
explosion.

1876, at North Hoosick, and was the
daughter of Thomas and Ellen 7 Han

place and later finished her studies
in the schools of this village, the fam
lily moving here about fifteen years
ago.
