Presumption of the highest degree,
it is for me 10 give you my jOttings from
the same geographical positions from
which your talented correspondent "T. i"
has thrown such spicy thoughts from his
ready pen.
SPRINGFIELD.
ct" gave you fine description Of
this martial city with its armory and ar
senal. The U. S. Armory, the most ex-
tensive in the world, is situated here
The Governments of England and Russia
sent agents to examine the machinery Of
tie Springfield arsenal, in order'to i'm
prove their own armories. Hon. n. P.
Banks visited the armory last week,
while l was in the city, and gentleman
present asked him if he had ever visited
the armory before. "Only once," re
piled he, "and then in search of employ
ment" "You have had some employ
ment by the government since," remark
ed the gentleman. "None," remarked
Mr.. Banks in his quiet way, "to which
l attached so much importance as l did
then to securing a place as workman in
the armory." No one knew him then,
and he failed to get place as a mechan-
ic, now, even yet a young man, he
comes to this armory as the prince of
speakers Of the National House of Rep
resentatives, candidate for Governor
of Massachusetts. Labor, study, pa
tience and perseverance has wrought the
change.
The Great National Horse Show oc-
ours in this city October 1st, Cd and Sd.
Rev. II. Ward Beecher delivers the ad-
dress. A cynical wag of the South tells
me that in his State they call horse
shows by their right names, "horse ra-
ces;' and that "horse shcE" is merely
a puritanic name for horse race, for rae
ing and betting will both be practiced at
the Springfield Horse Show. He fears
we will plagarize their cock .fghts and
entitle them Shanghae Exhibitions, or
gallinacious assemblies.
HARTFORD,
Is the Semi Capital of old Connect
cut, fifteen periodicals are published
here. The city contains many elegant
public and private edifces, is surround
ed by very wealthy district. The col
lection of antiquarian matters of inter
est, made in Hartford, is one Of the lar
gest in the United States. A great trial
of speed came off Sept. 10th, on the
''Hartford Trotting Park" 1t was a
ten mile heat, purse $1,000. The horse
of A. A. Dalton won the purse-Time
1921: 1000 persons, besides horses,
gamblers and dogs witnessed the specta-
Gle. This was trial of speed, not a
horse race, for Connecticut blue laws
will not tolerate Horse Iaces; besides
horse races always come off on race
courses, not on our Trot,ing Park.
"He who lays wagers, lays golden
eggs. The goose did SO; what was the
result?
The Hartford Ladies challenge the
Western Bor!er Ruffians at shooting;
Miss Curtis, belle of this city, gave
some good specimens of her skill with
firearms at Saratoga recently, she put
eleven balls out of thirty one in the
bulls eye, with rifle, at 65 feet distance.
No ball was more than two inches from
the centre. Wouldn't like to quarrel
with Miss Curtis. A few days ago, Mr..
United States Marshal Bacon was ares
ted by Deputy Sheriff S. R. Gridley,
tried before the Justice of the Peace and
fined one dollar for saying "d-m," a
word that rhymes with Sam. A great
war between the Federal and State Au-
thorities; Connecticut and Ohio are both
in the conflict shudder to think of the
result. Tine u. S. Marshal must be re-
venged. The U. S. Court convenes at
little rural place, called New Haven,
Gridley was indicted for obstrucling U.
S. process, or something of the kind
The Federal and State Authorities are
now even and agree to quit. The Etna
Bank was opened for subscriptions one
day last week; the subscriptions amoun-
trd to 50, 346, 500 on the first day, the |
authorized capital is only S5O0,Ooo.
The tobacco crop in the valley of the
Connecticut will this year be about 10,-
600 cases. A joint stock cigar manufac-
turing company has been organized at
Westville, Ct., with capital of $780,
200. The price of cabbage leaves will
advance about here. =
