They Put Up a Wretched Game Against
the New Jersey Athletic Club.
The team of the New Jersey Athletic
Club had everything its own way in the
game at Bergen Point yesterday after
noon with the nine of the Star Athletic
Club, of Newark. Even when Beebe
pitched the visiotrs easy balls they were
unable to do much effective stick work.
Their fielding play was something afro
cious, every member of the team making
two or more misplays.
In the third inning a foul tip from Jim
Reilly's bat struck Umpire Hart on the
left eye, severely inJuring him and caus-
ing his retirement. S. Groo succeeded
him. Below we append the score, not to
show how good a game the local team put
up. for it played rather yellow ball, but to
illustrate how miserable a game can be
played by so light an aggregation of
so-called ball tossers as the team from
the s~ide-tracked Essex county village GER

Then a tall, grim looking man, rather
stylishly dressed In plain black, with all
air something between a clergyman and
a hotel clerk, entered the room. He
looked at the wall, at the books, at the
window, and finally at Mr.. Horshaw.
"Mr. Horshaw, / believe" he said
briskly. "My card informs you who I
am. Your wife has lost a diamond brace

of property and details of loss, you know"
''Mrs. Horshaw is out. She says the
man has a slight cast in one of his eyes"
"Cast in one eye. Good!" Mr.. Grum-
ley checked that point off on one finger.
"And-a-I think she said his mus
tache was waxed"-
"Mustache waxed-good!" Mr.. Grum-
ley checked off finger number two.
"Let me see. 1 think he drawls his
words-had also a slight lisp, and then
his nose-his nose, now
"Drawled-lisped-good" Mr.. Grum-
ley exhausted his two remaining fingers
with a check apiece, n then slapped
his thigh. Il think / know the fellow,

bracelet looked like, you see"
"Now-you'd hardly think it, yet
though I've seen those bracelets a hun

except that they are all spangle and
glitter. II my wife were only here
now"

''there's a mate to that lost bracelet. If
I could take a squint at it now"-
Certainly Mr.. Horshaw rose with
a smile. 1T takes a detective to think
of ways and means. BY looking at one

Yes, you can spot the other"
Mr.. Grumlev leaned back with a Napo-

Two Good Trotting Races Yesterday at
the Jersey City Driving Park.

The most successful meeting of any of
the series held thus far this season at the
Jersey City Driving Park took place yes
terday afternoon. There were two events
on Manager Keach's programme, and
the trotting was very lively. The attend
ance was better and the entries were
larger than that of any previous day of
the summer meeting. The contingent of
Hudson county horsemen was well repre-
scented, and many ladies were seated on
the veranda of the clubhouse. The bet
ting was lively, the track was in prime
condition and the time made was excel
lent. In each event the favorite carried
off the prize. Eight horses were given
the word for the first heat of the 2:50 class
fora 800 purse, and it resulted as follows.

FARM DEPENDENCY.
Farm, Field and Stockman.

Farm, Field and Stockman.
One of the principal advantages
in keeping up the fertility of the
farm, is that it places the farmer in
a condition to increase the number
OF stock kept on the farm. Fertility
of soil is an important item, not
only with the cultivated fields but
with the meadows and pastures as
we'll. If the farm is to feed the
largest number possible, keeping
them in good, thrifty condition, it
is very important that every acre
on the farm should be made to yield
the largest possible crop, and nice
soil is the foundation of this. 1t
requires good management-go good
farming-to grow crops every year
and at the same time build up the
fertility, yet it can be done by
adopting regular system of rota-
ton, keeping sufficient number of
stock to consume all the products Of
the farm, making, saving and apply
ing all the manure possible; taking
pains to secure the largest yield by
thorough preparation, good seed and
cultivation.
A rich soil is one important item
but in addition, if the best yield il
secured, it must be well prepared
the seed be of good quality and care
fully planted in good season anC
then thorough cultivation be giver
at the right time and in the proper
manner. A failure of any one Of
these essential conditions will effect
the growth and yield, and in doing
this will affect indirectly the num-
Der of stock that can be kept upon
the farm. And anything that in
creases or decreases the yield of the
crops affects the number of stock
that can be kept, and the supply of
manure is dependent very largely
upon the number of stock kept, so
that all through a system of farm
operations, one part is dependent
upon the other, and the increasing
of one increases all of the others,
so 1t Is important to so manage the
farm operations, that the best fer
tility is maintained.

A good story is told about one of
the Maine Central engineers. Last
summer, when the Vanderbilt car
was at Bar Harbor, the manager OF
the Maine Central sent an engine
down there to take the car to Port
land. The run was made in very
quick time, and at Brunswick the
train stopped to take on water.
While there Mr.. Vanderbilt got out
and said to the engineer that he
didn't want him to drive so fas
The engineer, the veteran Simpson,
looked at him a quarter of minute
and then said: II am running this
train under orders from Payson
Tucker to be in Portland at 1:O7.
If you want to stop here, all right.
If you want to go to Portland get
in" He got in.-Bangor CONNER

There is such thing as natural
aptitude for different kinds of bust
ness. One farmer will grow poor
on rich farm, while another will
grow rich on a poor farm. One
poultryman will make money in
fowls and another will loose it. The
one is adapted to his business, the
other is the right man in the wrong
place. Success can be had only
when the right man is in the right
place. Life is strewn with the
wrecks of those who have attempted
to make square bolt fit round
hole.

LEND A HAND.

Lend hand to one another,
in the daily toll of life.
When We meet a weak brother,
Let us help him in the strife.
There is none so rich but may,
In his turn be forced to borrow,
And the poor mans lot today
May become our own tomorrow.
Lend hand to one another,
When malicious tongue have
thrown
Dark suspicious on your brother,
Be not prompt to cast stone.
There is none so good but may
Run adrift in shame and sorrow
And the good man of today
May become the bad tomorrow.
Lend hand to one another,
In the race for honor's crown.
Should it fall upon your brother,
Let not envy tear it down.
Lend a hand to all, we pray,
In their sunshine or sorrow,
And the prize they've won today
May become our own tomorrow.

FARMING IN GEORGIA PAYS.
Columbia Enquirer-Sun.

Columbia Enqulrer-Sun
Colonel Lucius F. Humber, of this
city, has proven conclusively that
farming can be made to pay in
Georgia. He has a large farm in
Stewart county, which, by proper
management, has paid him hand
somely every year Tor number of
years. He was seen by a reporter
yesterday and asked about the pro-
ducts of his farm last year.
II had in cultivation last year."
said he, 1000 acres of good Stewart
county land. It was planted mainly
in cotton, corn and oats, and twenty,
TWO mules pulled the plows needed
to cultivate it. | have just finished
harvesting the last of the crop and
have the figures on the years bust
ness. l gathered 421 bales of cotton,
$500 bushels of corn, 400 bushels
OF oats, and fodder, peas, pumpkins,
potatoes and other minor crops in
like quantities. l also raised plenty
of hogs and cattle, and the place is
in good condition tor another crop.
| have balanced up my accounts of
the last years business and find my
net profits to be $4,000.
''Then farming pays?"
Farming in Georgia, by proper
management, always pays. A farmer
must know his business just as a
merchant, or banker, or railroader
must know his to be successful. A
body Of land, crowd of negroes and
number of mules do not always
constitute paying farm. The crops
must be properly planted, cultivated
with the proper implements and at
the proper time, and everything
must be done by rule and IN order.
In order to do this, of course it is
necessary to control labor, and this
can always be done by paying
promptly, having strict rules and
sticking to them, and discharging
laborers who show disinclination
to obey"
"What is the trouble with the
small farmers p
"Debt."
''What is the remedy p
"Observe the.lstrictest economy
until they pay out
GLOW will they stay out p
"By not going in any more"
'"Then you like farming?"
cit is the most pleasant business
in the world. You see all you have
to do is to help nature and she will
make you rich. You will just nat
urally grow into a competency by
feeding the seeds to the earth and
giving them some attention in their
growth. There may be pleasanter
sight than broad acres of corn and
cotton and small grain putting forth
in springtime, but l have never seen
it."
