AeropIane for Middiebury Fair,

The Addison County fair, through it's
Secretary, Frank C. Dyer, has ar
ranged for the famous aviator George
Schmidt to fly in his Thor Schmidt
biplane.
This popular attraction is sure to
draw record breaking crowds to Middle
bury during the fair. The manage
ment of the fair have been fortunate in
being able to secure the services of Mr..
Schmidt, who is a native of Rutland,
Vt, and a member of the aviation firm
whom he represents. Mr.. Schmidt
is an expert air pilot and holds the
worlds record for number of successful
over-city flights.
The free vaudeville attractions for
this year are better and more complete
than any previous year. All sorts of
features will daily amuse and thrill the
patrons of the fair, one of the big ones
being Hutton's hippodrome with twelve
distinct acts. Four of these acts will
be given each afternoon.
The Rutland r. r. is arranging for a
number of special trains from both
north and south to accommodate the
crowds that will want to see the famous
Schmidt in action.

ance. They enable the farmer and
breeder to revise and correct their
standards and afford them the near of
measuring their progress. Valuable as
they are, there is still for i'm
proving the educational features of
of the fairs. 1t is specially i'm
portant that the exhibitors be as numer-
as possible. Each farmer should
consider it his duty to help build up his
local county fair by making exhibits in
many classes as possible. He should
do this not only to add to the interest
of the fair for every n else, but
should take this interest especially for
its value to himself. He will study
standards of perfection more closely
when he is himself interested as an
exhibitor than he will otherwise.
at is especially important that the
Judging at these fairs shall be done by
competent men. An excellent plan,
which is being adopted in many places,
is to have the judge give his reasons
for his decisions, pointing out just
where merits and defects exist. This
plan makes the competition truly edu-
cational. 1t does, however, possess two
defects. Some excellent judges are not
able to express themselves well in stock
addresses, and while their placement is
good the reasons given are not always
satisfactory.
1.-The other difficulty is even more seri-
Gus, especially in connection with live
stock. 1t takes a pretty broad-minded
man to be not unduly prejudiced in favor
of his own animals, and some of them
go so far as to regard unconsciously
fellow exhibitors as personal enemies,
and to feel that the only thing of i'm
portance is that they themselves shall
win. Such men do not like to have the
defects of their entries pointed out i n
public, and usually the more glazing
the defects the greater the reluctance
/! to have these mentioned. The result is
too often that the exhibitor is offended
and refuses to exhibit again. This lack
of sportsmanlike attitude on the part
of the exhibitor is the greatest draw
back to making the show ring of the
best possible educational value.
ut takes a judge of rare tact to be
able to give the reasons for his place
ments without offending unsuccessful
exhibitors, and it may be questioned
whether this move is wise as yet. In
communities where the fair associa-
tions are thoroughly established, and
where the difficulty is not to secure
entries but rather to prevent classes
from becoming unwieldly, such ar
rangement is undoubtedly good. 1t
would be good here if the exhibitors
would sanction it."

OBITUARY..

MRS. ELIZABETH (RoBBINS) HOOKER.
AS announced in last weeks Register,
Mrs. Elizabeth Hooker, widow of Rev.
Edward P. Hooker, died in Dorchester,
Mass, on July 20, at the age of 81
years. Mrs. Hooker had been i'll with
various complaints for the past two
years and was also suffering from the
results of a broken hip.
Mrs. Hooker was originally Miss
Elizabeth Robbins of Middlebury and
was the niece and foster-daughter of
Prof. Rensselar David Chanceford Rob-
bins, who half a century ago was a
great factor in the life and activities of
Middlebury college.
After his graduation from Middlebury
in 1885 at the head of a class of "a,
Prof. Robbins taught school in Georgia
and Royalton, this state, from 1885 to
1887 and in the Andover (Mass.) Theo-
logical seminary from 1897 to 1841.
Next he was a tutor in Middlebury for
two years, after which he served as
librarian at Andover until 1848 when he
returned to Middlebury and assumed
charge of the Greek and Latin depart
ments of his Alma Mater. In 1866
Prof. Robbins resigned the Latin chair
and was succeeded by the late Prof.
Scion Albee, class of 1851.
Mrs. Hooker was known in her youth
- ~ - II ---
one of the most beautiful and popular
young ladies of her time. She was a
friend to all the young folks and they
were all friends to her.
On September 6, 1871, Miss Robbins
was married in the Middlebury Congre-
gational church to Rev. Edward Payson
Hooker, a graduate of Middlebury in
the class Of 1855, and who was at that
time pastor of the church in which he
was married, and which position he held
from 1870 to 1886. Later, from 1880 to
1883 Mr.. Hooker was pastor of a church
at Lawrence. Mass. and at Winter
Park. Florida, he held a similar position
from 1888 to 1898 and was president of
Rollins College at Winter Park from
1885 to 1892. During the years 1857
and 1858 Prof. Hooker acted as a tutor
at Middlebury and in addition to the
ordinary degrees in course, he was
given the degree of Doctor of Divinity
by his Alma Mater in 1881.
DR.. Hooker died in Marshfeld, Mass,
six years ago and was buried in Middle
bury in the West cemetery. The re-
mains of his widow were brought here
last Thursday afternoon and placed
beside those of her husband, funeral
services having been held in the chapel
of Mt. Vernon Congregational church at
day, July 81.
There were six children born to Mr..
and Mrs. Hooker, and they are all alive
and doing well.

Guide to Sequoia and General
Grant National Parks.

Full information regarding the Sc
quota and General Grant National parks,
which contain the oldest and largest
trees in the world, is contained in a
circular just issued by the Department
of the Interior. Within these parks
are 10 groves of sequoia trees, there
being over u, 900 trees exceeding 10
feet in diameter.
In the Giant Forest in the Sequoia
National park the principal trees are
the General Sherman, 2S6 feet high and
36 feet in diameter; the Abraham Lin
coin, 270 feet high and 81 feet in diane
ter; and the William Mckinley, 291 feet
high and % feet in diameter. In the
General Grant park the principal trees
are the General Grant, 264 feet high
and 80 feet in diameter, and the George
Washington, 255 feet high and 20 feet
in diameter.
These big trees are the oldest living
things in the world, 1000 annual wood
rings having been counted on one of the
fallen giants in the Sequoia park. The
great pines of the Pacific coast are old
in their fourth or fifth century, when
the big trees growing beside them are
still in the bloom of youth, as they do
not attain prize size and beauty before
their fifteen hundredth year or become
old in less than 5000 years.
This circular, which may be obtained
free from the Department of the In
terror, contains information regarding
the means of seeing the park, tables
showing distances to the principal
points, a tourist map, a list of birds,
and the regulations that have been
adopted for the protection of the for
est.

The cost to build and maintain the
modern skyscrapers is enormous, but
apart from this consideration, their
erection has been made possible only by
the mighty strides of modern science,
which, within the past ten years or so,
may be said to have revolutionized the
art of building. Steel, combined with
hosting facilities, has enabled modern
progress to erect the s~kyscraper, and
erect it in a space of time marvelously
short when one comes to consider the
amount of work to be done. Each
workman employed is an adept in his
particular line, be he bod carrier or
engineer. The structural %ironworkers
are trained to the business with a
thoroughness which only the initiated
can understand. The brain thinks, the
eyes see, and the hands perform. These
men are like circus acrobats they
start early, and they keep at it until it
becomes a kind of second nature to
them. With something Of a feeling of
awe, we view them from the streets,
looking up to the dizzy heights where
they appear like mechanically operated
objects, fitting hither and thither with
mathematical precision. We see them
running along narrow lodges and beams
at those immense heights, or stretching
far out underneath copings and girders
to rivet bolts and ties, ETC., seemingly
the while defying all the laws of grav-
ity, and we wonder how it is possible
for them to do such things. The
answer is: 1t is their business, and
they have learned it so well that danger
has been almost eliminated. The Chris
tian Herald.
