GREATLY ENLARGED.
larged and improved Since Their Last
Visit to This Town.

The excellent reputation left by the
Sparks shows on former visits to Brat
tleboro would alone insure a liberal pa
tronage this time, but the lusty growth
and vast improvements in the show
since it's last visit will make it more
attractive than ever Sparks is a man
of energy and enterprise, wide expert
ence and ample capital and he has
brought all this to bear in making this
show superior to all other similar eX-
hibitions. He has a brand new train of
monster railway cars built especially for
him, all new gorgeous cages, dens, cost
ly trappings, etc. He has engaged the
best talent big salaries can procure. He
has expended over $4,000 in increased
equipment Every effort has been made
regardless of cost to make his show sat
isfying to his pride and advanced ideas.
That he has succeeded is amply proven
by the way the newspapers speak of
his exhibition wherever he has appeared.
1t is the universal verdict that he has
now the most splendid, complete and
high class exhibition of it's kind in
America.
Every one should come to town in
time to see the gorgeous street parade
at noon, and then follow the crowd out
to the show grounds, where some big
free outside exhibitions are scheduled
to take place just previous to the open
ing of the doors to the main tent. The
Sparks Shows will exhibit in Brattle-
boro Monday, July 10.

Uses of Aluminium.

Aluminium is chiefly made from baux-
lite, of which the worlds product is about
100000 tons, yielding one-ninth to one
seventh of its weight in aluminium, say
75.O0O,000 to 100.000,0O0 pounds. This coun-
try produces about half of the bauxite
and the French and Swiss Alps nearly
all the remainder. The tariff kept out
both foreign bauxite and aluminium while
the patents destroyed domestic compet-
ition. Until within recent years the prin-
cipal uses for aluminium were in making
ornaments, cooking utensils, boats, an
Toys and miscellaneous objects; but when
its superior conductivty for electrical
purposes was made evident 1t became n
formidable rival to copper, all the more
because 1t was less subject to corrosion,
while its superior lightness rendered 1t
cheaper to transport. Picture frames,
tubing, lightweight engines for autos
and flying machines, and a great variety
Of new uses were found for 1t.

Miss May Sutton of Los Angeles, part

won the mixed doubles championship of
the United States at the clay court tour
nament held at Pittsburg, Pa, on Mon
day. Their opponents were Miss Mary

score 3O-15 against them, Miss sutton
sent up a short bob to Williams who
invariably kills them for the point.
Down came that dreaded and terrific
smash, and it was Harris that Williams
selected as his victim. Harris placed
his racket in front of the ball, which
was coming with terrific speed, made an
almost impossible return, namely
pickup from a smash, and the point
went to Sutton and Harris amid the
most deafening applause ever heard at
the Pittsburgh courts. This seemed to
be the turning point in the match For

two years the course has been under

combination was invincible and the set
went to them 6-3
Here Miss Browne and Williams took
a brace and although each game went
to deuce many times and either side
was within a point of wining them, each
game went in favor of Miss Browne and
Williams until they had 40 lead. Here
Miss Sutton and Harris won two games
by clever work, but lost the next two
and the set.
The first game of the third set is al
ways held to be a critical one, and both
pairs put forth their best efforts to win
it. With Miss Sutton serving, however,
the game went to her side, and con-
tinuing their good team work, the SUIT
tom Harris team forged ahead to a SO
lead and the match looked nearly over.
With Williams serving his much dread
ed shots, however, the game went to
him and his partner. They also won
the next game and the crowd wondered
If an uphill fight was not in order.
Realizing that they were "up against 1t"
Miss Sutton and Harris made a strong
bid for the next game and finally pulled
1t out, the last point being a shot placed
by Harris out of Miss Brownies reach.
Thus the championship of the United
States went to a team made up Of
players coming from opposite sides of
the continent.
For prizes Miss Sutton received

contestants the tournament for the clay
court tennis championship of the United
States in Pittsburgh last week finally mar
rowed down to four men, one of whom
was Fred III. Harris of Brattleboro. He
was beaten in the. semi final round by
G. F. Touchard of New York, rated as
the fourth best player in America, be-
ing outranked only by Champion Lar
ned and Mclaughlin and Bundy, who
with Larned were members of the in
ternational team. Harris gave Touch
ard a hard match, the score being 6-3,
GA. To gain the semi final round Har-
ris defeated two men who are rated
among the first 10 in the game-C. M.
Church of New York and Raymond D.
Little of New York. The score against
Church was 6-1, GA, and against Lit

Alvord Requests Effective.

o. Adna Alvord, who was a native of
this town and highly esteemed resident
until 1865. when he moved to Brattle-
boro, where he afterwards lived until
his death in December, 1906, left two
requests that are of local interest, one
of $1,000 to be deposited in the Whining
ton Savings bank, the income to be used
in the care of his lot in the village GEM
etery and 'in the adornment, improve
ment and general care of the ceme-
terry grounds"
The other bequest is as follows up
on the decease of my wife, the said
Sarah s., then I direct that the sum of
two thousand dollars be deposited in
the Wilmington Savings bank of Will
mington, VT, the same to remain a per-
manent fund, and / give and bequeath
the use and income thereof to the Con-
gregational church of said Wilmington,
to be used and expended annually for
the support of preaching in said church.
In the event, however that the income
of said two thousand dollars Is not ex-
pended annually for the purpose afore-
said in said Congregational church at
Wilmington, then said bequest of two
thousand dollars is to revert to my es-
tate and shall be distributed under and
according to the residuary clause of said
will"
Mr.. Alvord's affection for the town
never abated, and he was especially in
terested in the welfare of the Congre-
gational church.
Mrs. Alvord having died recently these
requests become effective and the ex-
ecutor will be ready to pay them before
