The Elkton and Hayre de Grace base

game at Havre de Grace on Wednesday
which resulted in victory for the home
club by a score of to 4. The game was
closely fought from the start, Havre de
Grace breaking the tie in the eighth
inning securing the winning three runs.
This is an excellent showing for the
Elkton club in it's first game of the
season as against a team as fully organ

the game were the batting of Constable

Mrs. T. A. Sniverly and her two sons
are away for short time. probably at
the sea shore.
Harry Willoughby and his workmen
are putting a new tin roof on the main
part of the Conkling house. A good job
may be expected.
We understand that the hay loader
used on Mr. Griswold's farm is giving
good satisfaction. 1t will load load of
hay in 10 minutes and do it well.
The Sunday school of the First Con-
gregational church held their picnic in
Mrs. Clark's grove on Wednesday of this
week. The usual good time was realized.
The Walloomsac house is we'll filed

HORSE NOTES.

Mr.. Roots horse, Pearl, was entered
at Worcester this week.
Twill the great horses of last year be
the champions of this year? Some think
not.
Very few horses have been better than
2.10 this season ana some are thinking
that to beat 2.04 is no easy task.
We are looking for some new horse to
make the very low mark this year. SiTa
by Guy Wilkes may be the one.
The race at Hoosick Falls this week
was won by Felix. Lille B, second and
Blanche Peacemaker, third.
Hon. Chas. NJ. Reeds road team of
Erie, Pa, went 1871 miles in 49t minutes.
The road was rough and full of sand
holes and in the distance were hills a
mile and half long.
Great interest is taken among horse
men up through the State in the two
matched races between Highland l.. and
Mack for 500 a side, while Mack is very
fast, some think Highland L the best
race horse.
Horses must be trained and put in the
very best of condition to be able to stay
up in the Grand Circuit races. Nine or
ten heats are often trotted before a race
is finished. In such races well bred
horses are most always the winners.
Trainers are working their horses on
the new track at Glen Falls and all say
it is a good one for fast work. This is
the only mile track we have in this sec
ton of the country. There will be a
grand opening the week of August Sth.
Horses from VIM. Corbett's farm, Cal
ifornia, are meeting with great success
here in the east this season and with
Jas. Goldsmith's handling are winning
some large stakes. Messrs Bradford and
Leonard have colts bred at Mr.. Corbett' S
farm, both good ones.
The chestnut mare. Joan, seems to be
improving in speed all the time but has
had no professional training thus far
this season. In the race at Fort Ed
ward last week she went half in Ill
in the fourth heat and should have won
the race but she was contented with Sec
ond money.
Highland L, the Northern New York
favorite and the stallion Mack, the Rut-
land pet, trotted match race in Gran
vile, N. Y, yesterday on the mile track,
According to advertisement, the race
was for $500 side. Highland L won in
three straight heats. Time, 2.259, 2.24a
and 2,2l4. E. Bowman of Rutland was

"Isn't it wonderful" "Can it be pos

pressions that could have been heard on
the streets of Glens Falls at all times of
the day for several days last November,
following a public demonstration in
Glens Falls opera house by one of the
staff of the Troy Magnetic Institute.
The facts are that one of the most mirac-
ulous cures since the time OF Christ had
been performed in their midst and right

Young lady who had lived in Glens Falls

crutches: one whom the local physicians
had all given up as incurable: one who
was doomed to spend her life on crutch-

such a one had been healed before pub

if it is trne. The physicians of the Troy
