Some people seem to be Of the opin-
ion that Sistersville is a slow town and
that there is never any good sport
here In this they are sadly mistaken.
There is everything here that the heart,
of the sport could desire. In the past
there have been prize fights, dog and
chicken fights, horse and foot races,
and all manner of sports carried on in
the vicinity of the town. They have
been principally on boats on the river,
or on the Ohio side of the river. where
the West Virginia authorities could not
reach them. The latest thing in the
sporting line to take place in this vicin-
ity IS described as follows on bills
which have been Strewn around the
town: Grand Battle Royal! Sunday.
August 4. Cock and Dog Fight The
Battle Royal will be Six Negroes in
the Ring ut One Time. The last man
leaving gets the Prize" In addition
to the above the bill says that an ex-
cursion packet will leave the wharf at
l;3O p. m, and that the tickets will
cost S1.25. The city authorities have
been trying to find out where the con-
tests are to be pulled off. but so far
they have been unsuccessful. No one
appears to know anything about the
AFFAIR when spoken to about it.

unexpected way when the Government

Last Year.

New YORK, June 6.-Tbe Chronicle

per cent.
The acreage is 1867, 1858 sgsins,
20. 0.41O, ,247 acres last year The small
decrease 10 Florida is due TO larger
planting of sea island cotton. The crop
is unques,iooably late. The weather
up to May 2 was got favorable. 1t is
DOT certain whether permanent Injury
has resulted or not Probably serious
harm has resulted iu only limited
areas
Cultivation has oot been as thorough
as it was year ago. There has
been very heavy decrease 10 the taking
OF commercial fertilizers, but of home
made fertilizer slightly greater use Is
reported. The condition of the plant
was less satisfactory at the close Of
the month than at the same date last
year The States Of less promise are
the Carolinas and Georgia, but the
plant is la'e almost everywhere ADD SO
is farm work. The condition is not De-
cessarily uupromisiug, but more de-
pends upon future development than
has been the case in other productive
