The Cape Cod Cranberry.

One hundred barrels to an acre is good
yield, though, like all others, the cram
berry crop is very uncertain, and while
many fall below this figure, boys have
been known to produce one barrel to
rod or 100 to an acre. One bog of thirty
acres produced, in 1896 3, 100 barrels
The harvest begins about the LIST of
September, and is the most busy time of
all the year to the people living in the Vi
entity Of the boys. To live out Of doors
at this beautiful season is very pleasant
and when it means health, pleasure and
profit it calls all ages and conditions
from the baby in arms to the octogenaran
with cane and spectacles; rich and poor,
black and white, all are there; even the
belated summer visitor is not left behind
At an early hour in the morning the pick
erS are aStlr, everybody is in a hurry: and
although preparations were begun days
before, there are many last things to De
done before the start is made The boys
have been ''lined off, in rows, and are all
ready when the pickers arrive, 50 the
work begins at once. The berries are
gath cred in four and six quart measures,
Tor each Of which the picker receives a
ticket when it is filled; or some Of the
larger bogS employ a tally keeper. Who
will get the first ticket? Each picker
keeps one eye on his neighbour and picks
with ali his might. 1t is an exciting lace,
with something in it for every one. The
overseer flor this important parsonage is
found on every bog keeps a sharp watch
that no berries are left in the hurry and
that the measures are filled. He tells
them when to begin and when to leave off,
and is authority on all subjects connected
with the work No order is obeyed more
promptly than Leave off for dinner
There are groves adjoining nearly all
the boys, and here in the shade of the
trees the dinner is eaten; and how good it
tastes. The hour seems short one
when the call to work is heard, but the
tickets have been counted, and it is an
honor to be ''high,' which all covet, so
they are soon at work again. II is a jolly
company. They talk, they laugh, they
sing, they entertain visitors, but they
pick all the time. But the day is draw
ing to its end, the sun sinks behind the
trees, the dew begins to fall, and "home-
ward they plod their weary way and
the village, which during the day has
seemed almost deserted is again all life
and hustle.
After the berries are picked they are
screened and the dirt and imperfect fruit
removed. The small growers do this all
by hand, but on the large boys blowers
and separators are used, which greatly
facilitates the work. They are then pack
ed in boxes and barrels, stamped, and
shipped to market. Harper's Weekly.

The Behring sea Conference.

surprise at Great Britain declination to
take part in a Behring Sea conference in
which Russia and Japan are to participate.

reply have been sent by cable to the

that the United States government
views with establishment the determine
ton of Great Britain not to participate in a

thorities had fully expected that the con-

Japan as well as Great Britain present.
The State Department suggests confer

Salisbury's agreement as he CONSTITUTES it,

SIecial to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, May 1.-THE best
game of the season was played here to-day
between the Wittenburg and Indiana
teams. There We're neither runs nor errors
for either side until the seventh inning, and
only three hits had been made off both
pitchers, -Four hits, coupled with three
bases on balls, netted Indiana six runs in
the seventh, which were more than sutti-
oient to win the game. Daley sprained
his shoulder in the last half of the seventh
inning, Streaker replacing him in the box.
Two costly errors and two hits enabled
Wittenburg to score four times in their
half OF the seventh inning. Thus began
and ended their run getting. Bunching of
hits and fine base running gave Indiana
eight more in the ninth. The features of
the game were the pitching of Daley and
the base running of PrintZ and Harris.

His Long HOme-Run Hit.

SAAS AOAe -
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS. o., May 12.-Columbus won
a quickly n cleanly played game from
Ir dianapolis this afternoon, thus making it
three straight and a ten-inning tie. Smith,
the youngster who caused the Hoosiers so
much bother Monday. was again in the box
for the Senators, and lie held the opposing
batsmen down to seven safe hits and three
runs. Goar was not himself, and after five
runs had been scored in the second inning
he was replaced by VOTERS, who pitched
a mastery game, allowing but three hits
and giving one base on balls in seven in
nings. Flynn and Mcfarland did some
sensational fielding, and Flynn's home run
hit to deep right field was one of the long
est drives seen on the Columbu grounds
this season.
The trouble started in the second inning,
when Frank, the first man up, hit safely,
but was forced out by Tebeau. Genins was
hit by a pitched ball and Crooks filled the
bases when he hit safely. fast fielding by
Flynn holding Tebeau on third. A base on
balls TO O'Meara forced one run across the
rubber, and then Butler sent one sailing
over the first baseman's head that proved
TO be a home run. With two out in the
fifth, Mertes hunted and beat the ball to
first, stole second and scored on Franks
safe drive.
The visitors scored two in the fourth
through a base on balls to Gray and hits
by Motz and Wood, and in the following in
ming Flynn's home run added the third and

THROUGH THE LEAGUE
The Federation VIII Work with the
National Organization.

At the meeting of the wheelmen at the
Denison House last evening to perfect a
federation it was discovered that nearly all
those present were member of the League
of American Wheelmen and it was decided
to change tactics and work through the
league. Wheelmen are awakening to the
fact that they lave rights which are not
properly respected and it is believed that
a concerted action through such an organ
ization as the league will bring about a
better recognition of those rights. The
rules of the league will permit an active
fight of this kind to be made by local
members. The treasury of the league is
open for use in prosecution of any persons
violating laws, which violation interferes
with the rights of w~heelmen, or in bringing
any suit where a Wheeiman has been in
jured on account of defective street, care
~lessness of contractors or others in OBJ
structing streets, etc.
An organization was perfected last night
by the adoption of a constitution and by
laws and by naming the organization the
Capital City Wheelmen's Association. but
it is probable that the matter will go no
further as such an organization. Chief Con-
sui Sherwood, of the l.. A. W., was pres
ent and agreed to call a mass meeting of
local members to consider the subject.

MAY NOT BE ADMITTED.
"Jimmy'' MichaeI's Ten-NiIe Record
Made at Memphis.

1t is probable that Jimmy Michael's ten
mile record made at Memphis last Friday
night will not be admitted by the racing
board. The record is claimed as in COM
petition. 1t was a match race between
Michae and Jimmie Mcfarland, but Nc
Farland dropped out of the race before
the end of the third mile and Michael con-
tinued around the track, urging his pace
makers to go faster, and finished the
course.
Aside from the question as to whether
such a proceeding would entitle him to a
record for a competition race there is
further dispute about the time. The official
timers agree on the time as 20 minutes 8 2-5
seconds. Charles ]. Scherer, chief consul
for Tennessee, however, declares that the
time was 20:12. He has sent to the Racing
Board his figures for the time, taken by
laps and miles. The official timers took the
start and the finish only. Now the claim
is made by Michael and his friends for the
official time as a record for the ten miles
and for the time as caught by Scherer for
the records above three miles.
Nc action has yet been taken by the
racing board. 1t is not likely hat a
record for competition will be allowed at
all and if the official time is allowed for the
ten miles it will pe a difficult matter for
the racing board to consistently recognize
any records for the fractions.
