OF only on the golf links but
on the tennis courts have
l Y sweeping American victories
been recorded here to-day. Miss Eliz-
abeth Ryan of California was in ir-
resistible form in the Surrey cham
pionship, which brought the hard
court season to an end. The Ameri-
can girl overwhelmed Miss Holman,
the latter failing to win single
game. Then the combination of Miss
Ryan and Mrs. Larcombe outplayed
Mrs. Lambert Chambers and Miss
Tucker in the final of the women's
doubles. in which the losers could
capture only one game in two sets.
Finally, Miss Ryan came out with
c. Won Braun as her partner In the
mixed doubles against j. G. Richie
and Mrs. Larcombe. who. although
they made a capital fight, were beat
en- by the. American girl and her part
ner by score of Ga. 6-4.

n. e. Entertainers Give
Two Concerts at Thurs
days Program

Thursday night was the magi-
clans night and certainly Mr..
Brush entertained the crowd to the
delight of young and old. His
tricks were many and varied and
he kept his audience guessing from
| START 10 1lnlsh. l ne disappear
ance OF the lamp, the 1light VI the
canarles and doves, ana the sud-
den appearance OF the guinea pig,
rooster and duck were among L-4e
: features OF program tuli OF sur
pilses. The old tricks, catching
the fish, the steel rings ana
scrambhng the egg, were just as
interesting and furnished lots OF
amusement for the little folks.
Nj. Brush is an exceedingly clev-
er artist in his line and the audi
ence were well satisfied with mis-
performance.
The concert in the afternoon and
the evening prelude was given by
the New England entertainers
who received much applause from
the audience at both appearances.
Miss Eichorn is an accomplished
violinist and rendered difficult Sc
lections with much skill. Miss
Florence Hale is pleasing solo
ist and Miss Rose Walsh talented
reader with a special skill in in
terpretating child life and man
ners. Her Booth Harrington
story was gem in the reading
line and showed off the artists abb
lity to splendid advantage.
Friday night the International
Concert party give the musical
prelude. The group of three So
loists and a pianist will give u
classical program consisting OF
gems from the most popular OPP
eras. The star of the entire week
follows, Strickland Gillian, the
humorist. Mr.. Gillian is, in a
class by himself and his lecture
N"Just Between Ourselves" Will
delight all. But it is more than 4
funny lecture-it contains phllo-
sophy as we'll as wit, and you will
miss something if you do not hear
him.
The Juniors got an early start
Friday and with the play leader,
Miss Fillmore Salinger, hiked to
Emerson Falls where over camp
fire they cooked their breakfast
of weenies, and other good things.
At the afternoon session Friday
the story hour dealt with tales of
the sea.
Every Junior and some who are
not Juniors are getting ready for
the big pageant Monday after
noon. This will be the closing
event of Junior week and holds in
store fun and interest for every
one. Many remarkable characters
arc scheduled to appear in the
"Cruise of Jollity" and the parts
and costumes are being selected
with great care.

| deatn was neafI failure. He hau
been confined to his bed for the
last month, rising at times for a
few hours of daily exercises. Since
yesterday noon he has been in a
state of unconsciousness.
Hon. Charles AFRO Prouty was
born October 9, 1853 and was
nearly 70 years old. He was the
oldest son of John AFRO Prouty
and Hannah B. Lamb. He was
born in Newport and was the
oldest living citizen. Although
Hon. Prouty spent the greater part
of the year in Washington, where
he attained a national renutation
and while he had many fattering
! offers to change his residence, he
always insisted that his home on
the banks of Lake Memphrema-
cog was the one spot in all the
world where he wished to spend
the last years of his life.
When Hon. Prouty was so i'll in
Washington this spring he was
extremely anxious to come home
and on May 1 he made the trip in
private car of one of the high Of
fcials of the Pennsylvania rail
roads.
Hon. Prouty's early education
was begun in "the little red school
house, near the farm where he
was born. He later entered Der
by Acadmy. He entered Dare
mouth college at the age of 18 and
led the class of 1875, graduating
with highest honors. In speaking
of Hon Prouty's college days
Governor Black of New York,
who was a class-mate, said he was
so brilliant a young man that
he easily took every prize .e
went after, and the rest of US
were not in it at any time"
During his college course he
developed a passion for mathema-
tics and astronomy. His achieve
ments in an academic way enab-
led him to secure. a position as, an
assistant to- Professor S. P.tLang-'
lev at the Allegheny Observatory.
The. confinement which this work
nccessitated soon impaired : his
health and he returned to his ma
tive state where he began the
practice of law, step which was
the initial move in making him

CONNIE KIRWAN
IS MASTER OF
ISLAND POND
Newport Wins 2 to 0 Shut
Out After Stiff
Struggle

Island Ponds by no means me-
diocre baseball aggregation staged
a hard fight against Newport on
Thursday but were turned back
bv south-winged Connie Kirwan
with nary a tally while Maloney
and Ross both crossed the rubber
in the seventh when Joel Shelton
waited the ball over the right
field fence for three-ply clout.
Taylor on the hillock tor Island
Pond was a puzzle to the border
city sluggers, who could gather but
a single hit off him the first four
innings.
The contest was a pitchers duel
throughout, with Connie Kirwan
having the shade of the argument.
Connie was invincible in the
pincheS, while the locals touched
up Taylor for pair of wallops
and a base on balls in the seventh.
Taylor had evidently been in
structed to look out for Benny
Iryon, Tor IN four times up the
slugger was given three consecu-
tive free tickets to the initial sta
ton. Cornelius Kirwan Esq,
merely toyed with the Island Pond
batters, unless forced to pitch. In
that event he had plenty in re-
serve, calling into play his foater
"a ball that swoops under, ducks,
and hops the swinging bat.
In every frame but the seventh,
home plate was kept inviolate.
Newport had an opportunity in
both the second and the fifth STAN
zas to score, but in the both in
stances, the efforts of the local
sluggers were squelched by third

WILLIAMS CA.
AGAIN BEFORE
COUNTY COURT
Seek to Restate Insurance
Policies Against Seven
Companies

An important case is being heard
this week before Judge Stanley
C. Wilson as chancellor in Caledo-
MIA county court.
Il is Williams Mfg. company
against the Onent Insurance COM
pany and six other insurance COM
pames and grows out OF the pay
ments covering the loss of the
Williams company's mill in East
Haven in a fire that occurred Jan
uary 81, 1909.
l here are in fact seven cases
brought by the same plaintiff
against seven different insurance
companies, but they are all being
tried together in this instance, as
practically the same question is
involved in each.
The fire which caused the loss
was of incendiary origin. The to-
tai loss as covered by the policies
amounted to $1,000. The policies
covered lumber mill but the mill
that was in fact destroyed was a
veneer mill. The buildings were
all near each other at the East
Haven plant, and considera bic
legal controversy has arisen over
the meaning intended in the word
ing Of the description of the
property in the policies as we'll as
of the wishes of the owners in the
applications for the policies and of
the agents in issuing them as to
just what property was actually
covered.
The test case was tried in Cal
edonia county court and went to
the Supreme court on questions
of law. The issue has been back
and forth between the lower and
the higher court for several years
and is now in chancery before
Judge Wilson, the plaintiff seeking
the reformation of the rolicies.
The insurance company's are
represented by Shields and Conant
and Walter L. Came of Boston and
the Williams company is represent
ed by Porter, Writers and Long
moore. Judge Harland B. Howe
of Burlington and John W.. Red
mond of Newport.
1t will probable take all this
week to complete the hearing.

Had Been In Failing Health
For The Past Few Months|
WHO'LL BE NEXT?i

Every fan who witnessed
the spirited contest between
the Fairbanks A. A. base ball
team and the Newport mine"
at the Campus on Wednes-
day afternoon had brought
home to him forcefully the
fact that the st. Johnsbury
outfit needs strengthening.
Shaped up against the visiting
aggregation the local team
looked pretty weak.
Manager Charlie Hoernle
hasn't had the money to do
with that he had last season,
owing to business depression
and because of this he has been
unable 20 secure some of the
high class material that is in
the base ball market. And
until he is given the neces-
sary capital the team must re-
main as it is.
Calvin E. Brown, well
known st. Johnsbury mer-
chant inserted an advertise
ment in Thursdays Caledo-
nian-Record which read 81
want to be one of 100 who
will give $1,000 each to help
strengthen our local base ball
team" "Cal" has the right
dope. Let the townsfolk,
who can offord it, dig down
into their pockets and help
put the team up where it
rightfu!ly belongs.
The gift of $1,000 would
most certainly be appreciated
by Manager Hoernle, who
would use the money to good
advantage. At present the
club is running 5000 behind
and cannot afford to spend
any more money for ball play
crs. With an added fund of
$1,000 or even half that sum,
Manager Hoefnle couIu DflNS
to this town another first
string pitcher, to work along
with Witty, and could secure
the services of fielders that he
! needs,
The local team is extremely
weak on its hitting. Fast
fielding has prevented defeat
in many of the seasons games.
Good pitching has also been a
BIG factor in st. Johnsbury's
victories. But Wednesday it
was clearly seen what heavy
hitting team like Newport can
do.
Who will do as much as
"Cal" Brown? Your check
MAY be mailed to Mr..
Hoernle.

LONDON, July Shy Canadi-
an Press)-Premier Lloyd
Georges statement in the British
House of Commons concerning a
proposed International conference
regarding which replies from
Japan and the United States were
anxiously awaited, confirms the
announcement previously made in
a we'll informed quarter that such
a conference would be sought. In
view of the prime ministers state
ment there can be no harm in
stating that the original proposal
for such conference came from
the Canadian government early in
February last. 1t was then sug-
gested that the Dominion govern
ment, through the Department of
External Affairs, be empowered
to consult with Washington to
sound it out so to speak on the pos
sibility of a Pacific conference.

HON. E A. PROUTY DIED THIS MORNING
WANTS TO DISCUSS
EASTERN SITUATION

LONDON, July S--Gfeat Britain
it was stated here today, IN quar-
ter usually reliable, is believed to
have made overtures to the United
States, Japan and China on the
possibility of a conference to dis
cuss the whole eastern situation.
If this is correct, it is pointed out,
it might explain what Premier
Lloyd-George meant yesterday
when he stated in the House OF
Commons that he was awaiting
replies from America and China
before making a statement to he
house concerning the Anglo-Jap-
anese treaty. Official circles de-
clined to comment on the nature
of anv communication with the
United States, China or Japan but
it was said in those circles it
would be reasonable to assume
that the country would be fully
sounded before Great Britain
would show her hand. Announce
ment of the British policy is ex-
pected to be Forthcoming next
Monday in the statement which
Nh. Lloyd George said he was
fairly hopeful of being IN a posi-
ton to make. This statement is
said to be "a very comprehensive
one.
