The trip is made interesting by a
review of what Uscub has stood for in
the past. In the beginning of things.
Uscub was known as Dardania, origi-
nally an Independent empire, which
was swallowed up by the Roman EN-
pire in II B. c., when Uscub became
the capital of the Province of Oar
DANA, but now under the name of
Scopi. At the opening of the eleventh
century, however, ScopiN had become
part of the vast Bulgar empire, to

battlefield, time and again, in the
past. The Serb emperor captured 1t

at its zenith. There were battles here
between Bulgars and Byzantines. and

The Boston Festival Orchestra Club of nlne musicians and Miss Hodson the teacher of music at Rumsey Hall furnish the accompani- ment. Miss Edmond could not of course be spared and will be the soprano soloist. Mr. Roy w. Steele of New York is the tenor selected. and will sing with Miss Edmond in duet. The baritone is to he Mir. Edward F. McArdle of Winsted. The concert is to be in the First Church, Cornwall. on Tuesday the twentieth at 8 D. m.
 There was an enterJainment at the Grange Hall last Friday in which straw berries and cream figured largely.

The blowth of the apple trees this year is remarkable not because some are so fully in bloom but because all are out in white dresses. The worms nests are also unusually abundant.
