wish her the highest success in all

says: The Connecticut board of agri-

tensive Investigations as to the pro-
ducts Of the statellast year, report that
the revelation of the census Of 1880
are well calculated to awaken solicitude
for the agricultural interests Of Con.
pecticut. While there is gain of pop
ulation in the whole state Of 8,863,
there is loss of 1884 population, di,
vided among the seventy-five or more
exclusively agricultural towns. The
statistics show that there is no excep
tion to this decrease of population in
any agricultural state. The increase
is confined to the cities and large man.

THE COLORADO TOURNAMENT.
the McAuley's, Of silver Clin. wiz
the Hose Race In "a Ia.


The weather proved most favorable
for the firemen's tournament at Colo
RADIO Springs Tuesday and kept its
promise. The arrangements were as
fortunate, and after a speech by Pres
dent Stimson, of the association, the
races were called at $50 O'Clock. For
these were entered twelve companies:
Hooks No. Q, Tabor hose, Denver;
Tabor hose, Humphreys hose. Lead
vile; Rice hose, Trinidad; McAuley
hose, Silver Cliff; Orman hose, Pueblo;
Hooks No. 1, Matt. France hose, W.
s. jackson hose, ]. NJ. Segafus hose,
Colorado Srings; Black Hawks No. l.
The first race was for the hooks;
distance 500 feet, resulting as follows:
No. Q, Of Denver, 26i; No. 1, of Colo
RADIO Springs, 80.
The hose test was 500 feet to the
plug, lay 200 feet Of hose and get water.
Result: Rice, Of Trinidad, SO, Tabor,
Of Denver, no time, but a fine run;
jackson, Of Colorado Springs, good
run, but no score; Orman, of Pueblo,
3s4; Tabors, Of Leadville, no time, but
good speed; Sigafus, Of Colorado
Springs, 37a; France, of Colorado
Springs. 90; Humphreys, of I.eadville,
354; McAuleys, of Silver Cliff, 344.
This is the best time on record. The
Bates score Of last year is behind it one
second. s
II these figures are correct some idea
Of the apeed may be had when it is
considered that the distance run at
Colorado Springs is more than the
Cheyenne course by 100 feet, and the
time better by i! seconds than the
time made here.
The hook and ladder straightaway
race was won by No. 2, of Denver, in
~. No. 1, Of Colorado Springs, scored
in.27.
The /, ,OO0-feet foot race was run yes
terday, but the result is not yet re.
corded. Affairs have run very smooth
