Italian Loo ms High
Above All His
Rivals

Eight frsts, one second and three
failures to finish through mechanical
trouble. out OF IL starts in this
country spell the reason why Dario
Resta is the idol OF the speed ways.
Performing before a million peo-
pie in these races and Leading In
every race that he did not finish,
when he was declared out OF the
running by the god OF misfortune.
Resta was consequently the talk of
the multitude at places where he
didn't win. No driver of automo.
bile racing car. from the history OF
! the sport down to the present day,
has been able to equal such a record.
His sensationalism flashed his
name across the motor racing hori.
zon meteorically. Resta was the
talk OF every race meet that he has
been entered in since his first vic
tory at San Francisco. The Old.
fields, De Palmas. Burmans, Coop
ers. Rlckenbackers and others had
to take a back seat for this set
faced italian, and II is the same to-
day
Whenever Resta Ia entered the
preliminary discussions always cen
ter around him. II is nc longer
who will VIM" but Twill they be
able to down Resta7"
His versatility at driving over
various kinds OF courses has been
wonderful help TO him and he Is az
much OF a master on smooth board
speedways. Hated and feared by
his former rivals, he was compelled
TO ride against the entire field and
fer this reason has won the support
of the fans. Getting out OF pockets
is his long suit. His marvellous dex-
terity has proven him to be the un.
disputed champion.

WRITES LETTER FROM GERMANY
Hans Schorling, Formerly Of Brattle-
boro, Was with First German Army
Corps to Invade Belgium.

Mrs. Carl Schorling has received re-
Gently from Germany a letter giving
the first information that has been re-
ceived in Brattleboro in over three years
from Hans Schorling, who in the early
part of 1913 was employed by the Estey
Organ Co.
He came to this country Oct. ~, 1912,
to visit relatives whom he had never
seen in the 25 years of his life. He
liked Brattleboro and soon took employ
ment in the pipe organ department at
the organ works.
On July 3, 1918, he sailed for his home
country again, and the following year
war was declared. Mr.. Sehorling was
with the first army corps that invaded
Belgium and has been constantly at the
front from the outbreak of the war,
with the exception of 10 days leave of
absence, until he was wounded recently.
Mrs Schorling, having heard nothing
from the young man since his return to
his fatherland, wrote his mother on
March 81. That letter was not received
until nearly four months later, or July
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1916-10-13

II. 1t was Immediately answered and
the reply was received here Sept. 20.
The letter had passed through the
hands of the censor, but had not been
deleted.
1t contained the information that
Hans had been at the front since the
outbreak of the war, but at the time of
writing was in hospital suffering from
wounds received in action. He had
then been in the hospital five weeks and
expected to remain there fortnight
longer and then return to the front.
His brotherin-law is in the army on
the Russian front and thus far has not
been wounded.
The letter contains the information
that the crops are as big as ever and
that there is no shortage of foodstuffs
except beef, which is rather scarce. Sol
diers who are home on furloughs help
the women, old men and children in
gathering the crops.
Hans has brother, 80 years old, who
has not yet been called to the colors.

MAGN1FICE---r GIFT PREsL-----O.
Library Receives Tubular Chime Clock
from George G. Fisk.

The thoughttulncss and generosity OF
one of the towns most prominent citizens,
George G.. Fisk, last Saturday, again mani
tested itself when he presented to the
public library magnificent hall clock.
The timepiece, which is known as an
cight-day tubular Ginning clock, plays the
Westminster chimes on five tubes OF
melodious tones, sounding four times on
the quarter hour, eight times on the half,
II times on the three quarters and 10
times on the hour in addition to the hour,
and is the best product of mechanical
genius, in fact money cannot buy better.
1t has beautifully designed pillared
case of solid mahogany eight feet in height
with panels of plate glass. Delicate scroll
work of gold enhances the beauty of the
face, above which the varying phases OF
the moon are designated from day to day.
The gift came as complete surprise to
everyone and it is thoroughly appreciated.
1t has been the source of attraction for a
large number of townspeople, whose adj
miration is exceeded only by their thank
fulness to the thoughtful donor whose
earnest intentions and efforts were to
have the gift anonymous, but this was not
to be.
The clock was made by the Waltham
Clock company at cost of several hun
dred dollars and was installed by j. S.
Howes, jeweler, of Keene, through whom
it was bought.
Mr. Fisk has previously favored the
library with other gifts, which include the
beautiful and valuable oil painting, Midst
By-Gone Days, and an extensively en-
graved volume entitled The Presidents.
Mr.. Fisk also generously remembered
the town two years ago by a $1,000 contri.
button toward the cost of the new steel
bridge on Depot street
