The following communication has
been received at this office:
A purpose of fraternity is to train
its members for more efficient life.
In the fall of 1911 there We're, approx
mately, 80 members of fraternities of
the Mems College of Middlebury, leav-
ing 63 men without affiliations with any
fraternity. With these facts in view
and with the sanction of the president,
and the good will of few members of
the faculty, and of the upper classes,
a new fraternity, designated as the
Delta Sigma, was organized. On Feb
ruary 5th, 1912, four of the prospective
freshmen members were initiated at
the fraternity rooms in the Battell
block. The membership of the frater-
nifty is as follows: Ivers A. Hacket,
'12, J. Sterling Moran, '13, William E.

NEW ATHLETIC FIELD.
M idd ebury College Acquires Ex-
tensiVe Tract. a Special
Gift

At recent meeting of the college
corporation in New York, it was voted
to purchase 60 acres of land from Pro-
fessor Howard, opposite the present
campus, for new athletic field, when
the funds for the purchase could b
secured. This purchase was thought
desirable, since the most favorable To-
cation for the new chemistry building
encroaches upon the present field.
President Thomas expected that it
would take several months to raise the
but before he left the city ae
friend of the college volunteered to bear
the entire expense, and also to purchase
for the college the adjoining 20 acres of
Mr.. j. E. Buttolph. The transfers
have been effected and it is expected
that the field will be fitted up for
athletic purposes the coming summer.
1t will be the policy to pay the taxes
fairly assessed upon this new property.

COUNTY FAIR
WILL BE HELD
Agricultural Society Meets
and Reorganizes.

At the annual meeting Of the
stockholders of the Ri-nmond Coun-
ty Agricultural Society, held last
Friday night at St. George, 1t was
resolved to hold the county fair this
year under conditions which 1t Is
hoped will make 1T a success. At
this meeting the resignation of Will
liam s. Van Clief, president, and six
of the directors were accepted.
Twelve new directors were then
chosen with instructions to continue
the fair for one year at least and
take steps as may be necessary to
preserve the interests OF the stock
holders. The directors are as fol-
lows: John e. M~innehan, E. P.
Doyle, Henry P. Morrison, William
Wheeler, w. l.. Ricard, James Wise
ly, W.. j. Reid, Samuel Eckstein,
William j. Crosson, Henry Breud-
gen, George w. Batz and John
Milne. Strong pressure IS being
brought to bear upon John p. Mime
han to induce him to accept the
presidency and he has the matter
under advisement. The meeting was
called to order by President Van
Clief and Mr.. Minnehan was called
to preside, while d. P. Doyle acted
as secretary. Mr.. Van Clief said
that he could serve no longer as a
director because of his health and
other business cares, but said the
fair in capable hands could be made
to pay.
It was announced that the fair in
1908 had cleared up $4,000. Last
years fair would have paid, 1t is
said, but for the bad weather. Mr..
Doyle reported the fair took in
$16,752 last year from all sources
but the concessions and the bad
weather were not a source Of reve-
nue.. So far as the receipts were
concerned last year was the best in
the history Of the fair. The gate re-
ceipts on the first day were only
$50; on the second day 1t rained
and the fair was closed; on the third
day 1t rained In the morning and
the days receipts were $3.50; on
the fourth day $2,223 was taken in
at the gates and on Monday, Labor
Day, and the last of the fair. the re-
ceipts went up to $500.

Romance Began
in Business Deal

A romance, which began eight
months during the transaction of
a business deal and eliminated ten
days ago in a wedding in New York,
became known today for the first time
to The friends of Miss Blanche Fried
of AZ Halsey street, and Herbert j.
Yudkin, advertising manager for Dom
aid Company, furniture dealers in
Market street.
The ceremony was performed at
Temple Emanuel by Rabbi Sidney
Goldstein on March Ia. Attending the
couple, who neglected to tell anyone
else of their intentions, were Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Walker. The party of
four celebrated the event with a dinner
at Rector's.
One day last summer Mr.. Yudkin had
occasion to call at the millinery estab-
lishment conducted by Miss Fried. at
AZ Halsey street. 1t was purely a
business call, and there We're others of
the same kind. but they gradually be-
came more frequent.
Mrs. Yudkin will continue her bust
ness in Halsey street, and in the fall
the couple will go to Europe on a we'd
ding trip.

EX-SENATOR COLBY TALKS
POLITICS N0N-POLITICALLY,

What he characterized as an instruc-

delivered by former State Senator
Everett Colby before the members of
Corinthian Council, Royal Arcanum. at
Masonic Hall, 16 Hill street, last night.
although the subject was THE Pro-
gressivc in Politics." He declared that
sometimes ideas that have the appear
ance of radicalism m to be viewed
as sound and conservative when the
people are enlightened so that they can
view them from the standpoint of those
who offer them, There are certain
principles in operation today, he said,
which a few years ago We're regarded
as unsound; for instance. the taxation
of railroads. direct primaries and the
valuation of the physical property Of
railroads.
"You may call political parties by
whatever name you chose, but there
will always be only two kinds, the con-
servatives and the radicals the speak
er said. THE latter stand for reforms
that will keep them abreast OF the
times; the former says don't let's
bother to change things. the old way
is good enough"
