Governor Cooke also appointed Judge Alberto T. Roraback of North Canaan to the vacancy on the superior court bench causen by the promotion of Judge Hall. Both appointments run to the first Wednesday of February, 1899.

 Dig down to the cause of your sickness, If you want to get we'll and stay we'll. Most likely It's indigestion. The irritating pOisOns of fermenting, putrid food, left in the stomach by indigestion, cause head ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizziness, stOmach-ache, nausea, irritability, and all the other well-known symptoms of in- digestion. They also cause many pains and disorders which are often laid to oth- or causes and hence are not easily cured But as soon as the poisOns are removed, all these symptoms and disorders dlsap- pear, because there Is nothing left to cause them. Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because 1t prevents the undigested food from fer menting in the stomach and helps the stomach to digest its food.

A short calender term of the superior court was held in Rockville Tuesday fore- noon. Annie Hamilton of Ellington was granted divorce from Arthur Hamilton on tho ground of intOlerable cruelty. On a motion to dissolve the injunction in the case of Shepard against Belknap, the re- straining order to defendant was with drawnuntil January1 allowed him to cross certain land of the plaintiff. The case of Prescott against Stickney was withdrawn. The case of James F. Chamberlin of Stafford Springs, all appeal from probate as executor of the will of the late D. D. Chapman of Vernon, was then taken up and continued all day. Ex-Mayor Hyde of Hartford and J. Fl. Reed of Stafford Springs appeared for the administrator and ex-Congressman Sperry of Hartford and Secretary of State Charles Phelps of Rockville for the defense.

Fair Notes.

Remember the date-Tuesday, Wednes- day and Thursday, October 9th, 9th and 7Lh.
 The Citizens band will furnish music the first and last days of the fair and the Stafford Cornet band the second day.
 During the progress of the fair at Rockville two young men from that town drifted into the Hurley store. James Hurley, knowing they were from Rock vile, said to one of them, "How is 1t you are not attending the fair over to your town to-day?" The man addressed said, "Oh, we don't care to go over there. We had rather wait and take in the Stafford fair" There are many others who wait for the Stafford fair, and 1t is worth wait ing for.
 A successful fair must have variety of features, as the tastes of people differ so widely. A feature of the Stafford Springs fair that attracts many people each year is the horse trotting. To many the fair would lose It's interest If they could not see the horses go around. The racing program this year Is 8 liberal one, and includes running events as well as the trotting and pacing races. The first day there will be running race, mile heats, and the g. 50 class. The second day there will be running race for purse of $1OO, free-for-all for purse of $500, and 2.40 class for purse of $25O. Thurs day, the last day, there will be the 2.32 and 2.25 classes, each for $25O purse. Entries for the races close Sept. 30.
 The platform attractions for this year are numerous. This feature of the local fair is of importance, and an effort Is made to get the best talent possible. During the waits between the heats of the races the crowd likes to be amused, and the management have been careful this year to arrange program that can- not fail to please
 The list of special attractions include Joseph G. Latoy, emperor of clogs and silence and fun artist; Nellie Leonard, flying trapeze artist; Billy, Mary and Daisy Golden, comedy sketch artists; Harry Roncoe, the trick cyclist, called the boy wonder; The California Trio, the Chinaman, the German soldier, the Irish policeman; the Gotham City Quar- tette, vocal comedians; Mahan Brothers, trouP of trained Pattagonian dogs; bal loon ascensiOns and parachute drops, etc,

Pointer and I.atchcn.

From the Kentucky Stock Farm.
 The series of races paced by Star Pointer and Joe Patchen have been the
 fairest exhibitions of speed, endurance and courage ever seen on the trotting turf. Both owrsd by Chicago men, who purchased their respective pacers last
 winter at auction in New York, a nat ural rivalry has existed between them- They have met six times and Star Poin- ter has been victorius five Twice have they met at home and Washington park drew immense crowds to witnes the two victories of Mir Murphy's horse. At Columbus Lottie Lorraine and Badge were also contestants. but neither took a very prominent part in the proceed ings. And after two moderate heats and one terriflcally fast one, the white-faeed son of Patchen Wilkes was the winner, making the second heat in 2:011a Cleye- land, Hartford and Indianapolis have also seen the two cracks and have also seen the Tennesseean win, but in nearly every race Joe Patchen has done nobly. He has been fighting against veritable giant and even after the son of Brown Hal had defeated Father Time so gso- riously at Readville, the Kansas-bred horse was not discouraged, for at h. dianapolis he forced his rival to pace faster than any other ever did in a race.
 Too much can not be said about the ira1cmieab,ie courage of the hcTsls that
  quently takes as much courage to fight a losing battle as 1t does winning one, and although Star Pointer has Httle the most speed he has mo more detsrmi- nation ard gamenesS than the horse he has this year conquered five timeS out of six. These two great horses have ti-en the one redeeming attraction Of a rathsr fesatureless trctting season. They have between them kept the racing pub lie on the aui vive for something a nea- tional and it fell to the lot of the pacfng- bred stallion to accomplish the great feat, the great test in the history of tha 1arness horste. The two pac5rs have been the magnet at all meetings where they performed, and have done mora to stimulate harness racing in Chicago than any others. These matches OF specials dio great good, particularly if fought to the bitter end, as the ones be- twesn these two pacers have been, for tine time of the different heets in thsse races have been so very fast that rio onle can tTuthfully cal1 them dlippo- dromiss. Had the races been such there would not have been seen such terrifio conteStS The strongest procf of the greatness of these two horses is that after several years of hard campaigning they raice against each other this year six times ard in the last race go fasteH than in anly other It also speaks we'll for the elxi1lful trainers that have bl:iem in charge, and the grooms that bava had charge of thern, for to judge by thefE last race each is in the pink of conhie ton and ready fer another serfrs of battles Had thare been any weak p.intS in the make-uIp of either they would al'ave beisn shown before this am1 when the pages of the history of the hagness horse have been wnftten, the rames of Star Pointer and Joe Patchl:n will be most prominent.

Baltimore Again Leads,

Baltimore, Seph. 25.-rt is again "nip and t1ak" between dhe Champions and sdle Bostondta ns in the pennant race. with the ChaImpion5 a scanf nose in the lead by vifhue of having won Itoday's game. With the finish in sight and but four games Jeff to play by the one club and five for lthe other, mispNay of amy kind from this time on wbll probably cost the maker of it the distinction of being mdmber of the besit base ball team on earth and clause him to get a smaller instead of a larger share of the Temple Cup mcmey. With tlhas fact in view it ,s no wonder that the players on both teams are strainsng every nerve Ito win, and that the outcome of the contest is of Vital importance to them. of in tense interest to their partEans. Two of the most exciting gaines in the his tory of base ball have resulted from ths condition during the present series. end Monday promises to bring another. Yes terday was a nerve destroyer and 1t brought joy to the hearts of Boston's followers. Today wals another, and al- though the home players were never headed not soul of the ground felt it was beyond douIat until the last man in the ninth inning had beeui declared out. More than 1S,0O0 people saw 1t, and not one of that number would have missed it for farm. An butt about 15O persons. who came from Boston, are supremely happy tonight, and every lover of che game in Baltimore Is pre- pared to siwear that there was never such pitcher in the world as Hoffer, for it was mainly by the superb work of the wizard that the victory rests with BalLtimore
 He badted we'll, feIded splendidly and pitched magnificendly, as the score win show. So did Klobedlanz, for that ms,t- ter, and not man of the contest played badly, the game being practically wi'bh- out errors, that of McGraw being ouite eNousable. while the stick work was unifornly good. 1.-Two plays which do nod figure as errors in the score cost runs, however, and one of them probably lost the game for Boston. This was an 'ef6ort on the part of Collins to field nice Hltle bunt by McGraw down toward dhird base. Ut might have rolled foul, but Collins accidentally kicked while stiIl in fair ground, it went a dozen yards or so into ll territory and Doyle and Hoffer sccu on 1t. The other was a very excusa,l enuff by Reitz of DLong's dhop hit to short center, filling tfe bases and giving Duffy chance to score on the ensuing play. On the osher 'lnand, both Collins and Reitz did bril- sliant work at critical t.m,s Doyle and aRcbinson cut off run in the seventh in ithis wise: L5we, with Hamilton on third, was caught between first and second. While Doyle and ReJtz were running him down Hamilton sprln;ed for home, but quick as thJoughr Doyle returned the ball ito the p1ate It was fine throw and a fine catch ard the captain of the Cham pions salt down good and hard upon the sliding Bostonian. almost crushing llAm with his 25o pounds of solid flesh.

1ne end or the week finds Baltimore again on top with the slender margin of 1 point. Yesterday morning Boston led by points, but the throw-down of yesterday afternoon reversed the order of things, though with not near so much margin against them.
 Only four more games on one side and five on the other, and one of the most hotly contested fights for the much cov- eted pennant in the history of the na- tional league will have been ended. The leaders meet once more on the diamond and there can be no doubt as to the result after tomorrow afternoons game. It's bale of hay to blade of grass that whichever club is victorious in that contest will bear off the prize. I On September 29 and 30, and October 2, Baltimore will go up against the Sen ators, but on her own dunghill. while Boston will, on the same dates, be the guest of Brooklyn, with one double header. How the Grooms will treat the Beaneaters and the Senators the champs remains to be seen, but suffice it to say the games will be strictly for "blood.'a
