Local Hikers to Have Excursion on
Columbus Day.

Plans have been hurriedly made by
the Bennington section of the Green
Mountain club for hike up Equinox
mountain in Manchester on Friday of
this week This will be an all-day
trip, the party leaving on the morning
train or autobus arriving at Manches-
ter about $50. A number of members
have been anxious for some time to
go up Equinox but the excursion COM
mittee have in the past tried to make
the trips nearer home so as more
could avail Themselves of the oppor
tunty of going Oh the hikes. 1t is
hoped, however. that goodly num-
ber will be able to go to Manchester
Friday and those who plan it should
communicate with Miss Martha Pratt
of the excursion committee at once.
The arrangements for transportation
will depend upon the number who
wish to go. Equinox is one of the
high mountains in the southern part
of the state, commanding magniii-
cent view, which with the ideal wealth
er conditions usual at this season of
the year, a most enjoyable outing may
be expected.
