The long dry spell was brought to an end
Thursday by a copious rain that fell through
out the day and evening. Prof. Morse of

The millions of tons of coal and other freight
so long delayed in the rivers, canals, and
lakes may soon be expected to move to

rains will follow closely upon each other at
intervals of about three days, until a high
stage of water is secured throughout the
country. The prospects for wet Noyem-
Der are very promising.

The groom is well known here His coat
shone like satin and his superb knee action
made him an instant fay0rite in the pools.
Miss Smith, the maid OF honor, looked be-
witching in fleecy null; tumulnous storm
of applause came from the dense throng as
she came into the last quarter and came
tearing down the stretch, showing daylight
between her and the big black She was an
easy winner" 1t is needless to say that the
editor is now in the happy hunting grounds.
