Premium List Out.

White River Junction, VT, Aug. b.
The Vermont state fair commission
has just issued a handsome premium
list book, setting forth the many attrac-
tive features of the Vermont State
fair, to be held on the State fair
grounds here Sept. II, Is, 10 and 20.
The cover design shows products of the
farm and the drawn letter effect is very
pleasing.
A strong feature of this years fair
will be the track events. Ten trotting
races have been arranged, including
five pacing events, four trotting events
and free-for- all with a $1,000 purse,
five horses to start. Entries are being
made in large numbers and the largest
starting of trotters ever seen on the
State fair ground track is sure to ap-
pear in the several races. The large
number of entries is made possible
from the fact that the races will be
held in conjunction with the Interna-
tional circuit of Vermont and Eastern
Canada, and the Green Mountain cir
cult.
Every effort will be made to take care
of the large crowds sure to attend the
state fair this year. With three large
hotels and practically every house in
White River junction open for the
accommodation of visitors there is no
reason why all should not be accommo-
dated. The White River Junction
board of trade will have residence accom-
modations well in hand, and these may
be secured in advance by writing the
secretary, or upon arrival.

under the dictatorship Of Miss

Methodist church Wednesday even.
ling. It was the FIRST musical
entertainment of it's kind ever
given at Scotland and had been
looked forward to with great ex-
pectancy for weeks. Il met and
surpassed all expectations and was
highly pleasing to the audience
and complimentary in the quality
of its rendition, to the members of
the chorus as we'll as to Miss
Wittmayer.
The chorus class was composed
of home talent and bad been work
ing for several weeks on the pre-
paration of this program, and as
a result of their faithful attention
and practice rendered an entertain
ment perfect from beginning to
end. A production of this class,
whose success depends upon its
being given perfectly, is seldom at
tempted outside a musical conser-
vatory, or by a chorus of unframed
voices, and it was surprising how
much was accomplished by this
class in such a short period of
training.
Prof. Lee N. Daley director Of
the conservatory of music at Yank-
ton College, as baritone, and Mr..
Dwight Daley of Yankton College,
as tenor, gave the solo features.
Both men have wide regulations
as musicians, and have had much
experience in concert ard choral
work, and their assistance added
much to the success of the concert.
Prof. DALEY, as a musician, is es-
pecially well-known as a student
and instructor of music as we'll as
a vocalist.
Miss Johanna Wittmayer at the
piano deserves special mention for
the capable and pleasing manner
in which she rendered her part.
At the close of the program DR..
Koobs in behalf of the chorus with
a few we'll chosen words presented
Miss Rose Wittmayer with a
beautiful bouquet of cut flowers as
a token of their appreciation of the
patient efforts she had put forth in
drilling them.
The success of this entertain
ment has demonstrated that Miss
Wittmayer, not only possesses
superior talent and training as a
musician herself, but that she also
possesses exceptional skill as an
instructor. Blessed with a natural
talent for music and a voice of ex-
ceptionsl quality and range, she
has spent years in training and
has fitted herself for a successful
career as q musical instructor.
After completing her course at the
Yankton Conservatory of Music
she completed a four years course
at Oberlin, Ohio, under some of
the best instructors in the country.
Since completing her training she
has been giving instruction to
classes in Scotland and Memo,
and the progress made by tie stu

BENNINGTON. VT, JAN. IS, 1872

Indications multiply that the Re-
publicans are up against It in this
years elections. There. was a special
election in Kansas the other day to
fill congressional vacancy and in a
district that is normally more than
two to one Republican. a Democrat
was elected by majority of over a
thousand. The candidate on the Re-
publican ticket was stand-patter
and the Progressive Republicans
either didn't vote at all or voted the
Democratic ticket. This was largely
matter of revenge because at the
November election in another Kan
sas district the Republican candidate
was a Progressive and the stand-pat
Republicans voted against him or not
at all and a Democrat was elected in
that case. This is fair sample Of
the situation though II Is probable
that Kansans take their politics a
little more seriously than some. 1t
Is probable that of the voters of the
country a majority of million to a
million and half are nominally Re-
publicans. Leaving out OF considera-
tion the solid south whose states are
In no way doubtful the Republican
popular majority is doubtless up
wards of two millions. In this great
majority of nominal Republicans, Is
included the bulk of the independent
vote of the country There are many
independent Democrats but their rel
alive proportion is nowhere
nearly as large as the indie
pendents of the Republican party. 1t
ought not to require any great de-
gree of perspicacity to see that the
outcome of this years election is
largely in the hands Of the indepen-
dent Republican voters. No Republi-
can can win without their support.
Evidence is overwhelming that they
will not hesitate to vote the Demo
cratic ticket, II they do not like the
