this forenoon In special cars and arrived
at the club grounds in time for an elabor-
ate forenoon lunch and the preliminary
festivities
Tno dinner was served at 2 O'Clock.

no end OF good storytelling, followed by
more or less seriousness in efforts to play
BASEBALL.

When it was announced week or so ago
that candidate william Jennings Bryan
wanted a day of recreation and would
go to Coney Island it was generally as
serted that he had made another mistake.
He should have gene to the Coney
Island OF the East and enjoyed one OF
Mr.. Boyden's dinners and seized the
luscious clam from it's she'll OF silvery
whiteness and gnGwed the golden corn
right from the cob. Even Bryan might
have been happy and at peace with him

exhiliration OF shooting the chute and
with Mrs. Bryan he might have enjoyed
the dance with the happy throng In the
bali room and forgotten his troubles for
the time being while taking In the de-
lights of the "Mandarin Zune." And for
the little Bryaps what fun there would
have been in the four carousals and the

|. D. NEWELL & SON,
Sullivan and Sharkey.

Again has the great John J.. succumbed
to the witching call of "Timep' and agreed
to step iS,.o the ropcd arena and box with
Sharkey, tho Californian. The big Bos-
tonian had sworn Co himself faithfully that
be would never enter the ring again, and
the oath was conscientiously taken, but he
was tempted and he fell.
The friendly bout in which he and Shar-
key will engage is set for Aug. 81 and will
take place in Madison Square Garden,
New York. Parson Davies engineered the
affair. 1t liz to DO Sullivan's farewell
appearance in the pugilisitc arena, as all
the rest Of his shows have been since Gen.
tleman Jim gave him his professional
quietus. The bout will probably not be q
very serious affair, as the ex-champion has
long ago outgrown all fighting form, and
the probabilities are that the man from
California will not try any tricks. How
ever, the interest in the first appearance Of
Sharkey and tho last appearance of Sulli-
van will undoubtedly DO sufficient to in
sure n large attendance at the show.

With the exception OF the period OF the
1872, IL Is generally called, the first 80
years of the present century witnessed
the commerce of Providence at q most
prosperous point. There came to the
wharves heie ships direct from Chinese
ports, from South America, the West
Indies, Liverpool, London and many
other European seaports. The great gallo
OF sept. 1916 was serious blow to the
shipping and commercial interests of
the town, for the value or the property
destroyed went beyond the million mprk.
During that gale ships and craft of all
kinds were whirled against Wey bosset
bridge almost totally demolishing it,
while after the storm subsided the cove
to the northward was strewn with scores
OF wrecks. Along the wharf front On the
east side OF the river particularly,
where the most prosperous merchants
had their places OF business, warehouses
filled with valuable goods from every
part OF the globe, were flooded or entirely
wrecked by the force OF the wind and
tire rush OF water. But the merchants
and ship owners of those days were not
easily dismayod or discouraged and they
began with more vigor than before to
repair the damage and make up for the
loss entailed by the unprecedented storm
and flood. And SO it was that up TIL
1880 Providence was at the very zenith of
its commercial prosperity. From that
time on there was a steady decline until
a quarter OF century later Providence
had no direct foreign trade at eli.
