What Sontlilngton People were Treats d to
The numerous societies in town have
tried, at different times through the
winter, to get a concert into the town
hall that would satisfy everyone. This
they were unable to do, and the palm re-
mained unworc until the Ladies’ Aid
society of the First Baptist church, on.
gagcd the “Little Vernon Brothers" to
give an evening’s entertainment. It oc
curred last night, and a better satisfied
crowd of people would to hard to find
thzm those who attended. The young-
stars arem-rtainly wonderful musicians,
and their gift of musical talent is a mat-
vel. Sidney, aged fourteen years, the
oldest of the three, has a natural ability
which will help him up the ladder of
fame as a violinist. Howard, aged
twelve years. has ii surprisingly sweet
voice for one so young.and plays the
piccol ‘1 like a veteran. Percy, aged
sight, the youngest of the three, ,is a
wood in himself. Music seems as

several times, they got away with C. H.
slightly in the lead. They trotted in a
bunch for the first half mile, when
Eagle Lake. driven by C. E. Swan, took
the lead and was never headed, although
the race between her and Gleason was
closely contested, Eigle Lake winning
the heat in 2:301.

finish was an exciting ,one, Eagle Lake
winning by a length: Gleason, second;
Meringo, third, and Warbling Maid,
fourth. All four horses were sent their
stride. but Eagle Lake had a shade the
best of it in speed. The last half of the
mile was trotted in lzll fist. Princess
and Phyllis were distanced.
The horses went off for the third beat
all together and trotted the first half
well bunched, with Eagle Lake and
Waverly King slightly advanced. The
heat was a pretty one, all driving hard,
all striving to secure a place. and a di-
vide of the purse. In the last quarter
Waverly King had to give way for
Mcriogo, who secured second place and
money, Eagle Lake winning the beat
and nice. Time. 2:251.
The field included eight horses, all of

in the family for years. The loss is up-

also in the dining-room. The burglars
departed by the back door, leaving it
wide open. Outside of the pantry win'

footprints of a man with txreudingly
big feet.
The members of the household were
not aroused during the night. and the
