ASCUTNEY MOUNTAIN
Mapping The Scenery from that
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Peaks.

viewpoint Neglected Peaks.
The general neglect of mountain
peaks in this part OF the state. many
of which could be easily made more
accessible to tourists, and of much
more interest to every one, is re-
proach and ia an unbusinesslike pro-
position as we'll. The development
of our mountain peaks and forests
as an attraction to summer and win.
ter tourists has begun under the
auspices of the Green Mountain
Club; it is one of the objects Of the
Greater Vermont association, but it
can be FASTENED only by local CO.
operation, by the people living in
the vicinity of these mountain sum-
mits.
Killington. the second highest
peak in the state. is practically in
accessible from the east side except
to the more enthusiastic climbers.
The trail or lack of trails, the lack of
accommodations at the top. all serve
to keep people away, tourists who
bring money here. and to discourage
many who make the ascent under
these uninviting conditions
They are doing more for Ascutney
a lesser peak, which however opens
a beautiful panorama to the visitor,
and the people of Windsor are to be
congratulated on their enterprise
and interest Every provision is
made for the comfort and ease of the
arriving tourists, and they don't have
to fight their way to the top over a
poor trail.
The following letter from Henry
s. Wardner to the Windsor Journal
shows, for one thing. what is being
done there to add to the interest OF
those who make the ascent:
Visitors to the summit of Ascut-
ney have often longed for knowledge
of the names of the many peaks Wis
ible from this glorious viewpoint. U.s.
ually thore is somebody in the party
who can point out KiIIington, Mans
field and Monadnork, hut beyond
these noticeable mountains and very
few others, the names are matter
OF guesswork with most of us. 1t is
therefore welcome news that Allen
Hazen. an experienced mountain
climber, geograpLer and surveyor is
to visit Ascutney soon and is to map
out the scene in every direction and
that A. e Potter is to indicate in a
permanent manner By arrow markers
and names the exact location Of the
conspicuous peaks
Mr.. Hazen is of the Hazen family
of Hartford. VT He is civil eng
ineer who is known both here and
abroad as an expert in public water
supply systems.

"Pygmalion and Galatea.

"Pygmalion and Galatea", one OF
w. S. Gilbert's delightful little
plays, was given at Music hall We'd
nesday evening by local amateurs,
assisted by Miss Helen Buzzell, well
known here as reader. The cast !:
Galatea an animated statue)
Miss Helen Buzzell
Pygmalion an Athepian sculptor)
Mr.. Hubert Garfield
Cynisca (Pygmalion's wife)
Miss Corinna Ordway
Daphne Chrysos' wife
Mrs. Dora Pinney
Myrine (Pygmalion's sister)
Miss Catherine Ordway
Chrysos an art patron
Mr.. E. A. Spear
Leucippe { a soldier
Mr.. Earle Howard
Mimos Pygmalion's slave)
Mr.. Harold Mack
Agesimos Chrysos' slavel
Mr.. Paul Ransom
The three acts of the play Jake
place in the studio of Pygmalion,
an ,Athenian sculptor, and with this
artistic setting the costuming of the
characters was in perfect harmony,
and historically correct. A fine
spirit of humor pervades the whole
piece, and this was finely brought
out by the well drilled company in
smooth and dignified lines. There
is no suggestion of the grotesquery
which is 80 large part of modern
comedies, but Gilbert's substitute
in Shakespeare's English is ire
sistible = at least the audience found
it 30 Wednesday evening.
The cast of local talent was cap
able one, thoroughly drilled by
Rev. Fl. l.. Garfield, and to make a
success of a defficult piece, as was
done Wednesday evening, is some
thing of an achievement for anna
tours. Miss Buzzell showed much
grace and animation in the several
scenes in which she bore leading
part, lending much sincerity and
humor to the awkward situations
following her descent from her ped
estal, newly created woman. The
"Pygmalion" of Mr.. Garfield, the
"Leucippe" of Mr.. Howard were
we'll done and Messrs Mack and
Ransom in lesser parts are also en-
titled to praise.
Mr.. L. A Spear, as Chrysos, an art
patron, had part which suited him,
and assisted by an admirable make
up he made the most of it. Mrs.
Dora PiDney, as Daphne, his wife,
sustained her part equally well, and
the Misses Ordway, to whom fell a
good share of the dialogue, spoke
their lines expressively and with
distinctness.
A great deal might be said of the
costumes, to which much care and
attention was given in order to make
them truly typical Of old Greek days.
They were designed by Mrs. Fl. l.
Garfield and her success was won
only after an endless amount Of
labor in the selection of materials,
much of which had to be dyed again
in order to avoid the harsh aniline
effects of commerce and secure the
soft tints of the classical period.
