England's Pride, a draft horse owned

lengths in the rear. She won out and

The liveliest "hoss' in the free-for-

BANNER RACES.
THEY MORE THAN MET THE EXPEC-
Tat ON OF EVERYBoDY.-BEST EVER
HELD ON THE TRACK
1uhe Attendance Was Very Small.

Meyer in the history of The Yale
Driving Club has there been Al better
tVisss of race horses, either in numbers
torspeed qualities, than were present
EatUhe banner races held on the track
here Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. Every class was we'll filled and
every race was hotly contested from
start to finish.
Monday drizzling rain set in and
LASTED all day and part of the night,
lbut Tuesday dawned with bright pros
poets of an ideal race day which it
proyed to be. The track was in per-
feet condition and it seemed that
Mothing could prevent there being a
large crowd in attendance, bat to the
'surprise of all and the disappointment
OF the Club, there was only small
handful of people present. A better
crowd was here the second day but
not enough to guarantee 1t a success
l financially. The reason for the non
attendance of the public is not fully
understood except it be that the farm
ers are too busy and aid not care to
/ leave their work.
No meeting ever held here was bet
ter advertised. Secretary, j. b. Pals
ley spent most of his time during the
past month in visiting other towns
| tC secure entries, and he met with
good success. Jerry deserves great
credit for the untiring efforts he put
forth to make the meeting a success as
also does Harvey Tappan and the
other members of the Drying Club.
There is one consolation the Club
has and that is the members will be
compelled to go down into their pock-
| etc, for about $4,000 TO square up the
bills and purses. This is not very
pleasant, still the good sport furnished
! he,visitors and the fact that they have
gone away well pleased, will, no
doubt, do a great deal of good towards
drawing n much larger attendance at
some future meeting.
The judges during the meeting were:
Il. L Noble, starter; Chas. Dryer, of
Capac, time keeper; j. NJ. Haviland, of
Richmond, and Grant Holden, of
Yale, all of whom were onto their job
and gave perfect satisfaction. Below
is summary of the races:

GRAND MAS TEA, only 10 cents, it
don't cost fortune to give it a trial.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1897-08-25

Weyler's reply to the criticism which
has been directed from this country
against his administration of military
law in Cuba is an order expelling an
ether American newspaper correspon-
dent from the island. His purpose is
not to vindicate the truth, but to stitle
it. His whole trea atment of newspaper
men who have gone to Cuba animated
solely by desire to describe conditions
as they actually exist has been that of
a despot who feared to subject his Off
cial policy to the scrutiny of the world.
No American correspondent whom
Weyler has driven out of the island has
suffered an io'ta in his reputation for
truth and veracity. The public takes
the word of these men as against Wey-
ler's every time, and in the present in
stance his edict of banishment is pal
pably inspired by desperate desire u
conceal the facts of a crime which is
cruel enough and barbarous enough to
send thrill of horror to the heart of
mankind

The ratio of silver to gold is now
within a fraction of 40 to l, and Mint
Director Preston is quoted as saying
that silver will not recover it's value,
but will probably continue falling until
the ratio is about 81 to l. And still
there are people who think that it can
be restored TO 16 to by mere legisla-
tive enactment. If these people believe
what they say, why not agitate for a
ratio CT l to l while they are about il?
That would be as easy as establishing
the formula of 16 to /, in which ther.,
is neither significance nor virtue, and
by placing the metals on an actual
equality would bring about perfect BIZ
matallism, so far as legislation can do

An industrial colony for boys from
alton for some time at Gardiner in Ul-
ster county, New York. 1t is similar
in it's main features to the George
Junior republic at Freeville, but the
government is on county lines instead
of national as in the George colony ana
therefore, simpler anl more easily
mastered by the boys. In Gardiner the
boys make their own laws, choose their
own legislators and officers, are arrest
ed and tried if the laws are broken, and,
if found guilty, are imprisoned or fined.
The right to vote is based on attain
ments, and not ON age, the full privi-
leges of citizenship not being granted
until proper capacity is shown. The
boys learn farming and various handi-
crafts. They are expected to work,
and are paid, according to the amount
they do, in the currency of the colony.
They pay. for their meals, lodgings and
clothing in the same currency, and.
while the amount of labor expected of
them is light, four hours work a day
being enough to provide them with
necessities, this system teaches them
| the value of money, and discourages
laZiness and improvidence. The colony
is in operation only during the summer
tions from leading churches in New
| York

Oddly enough, the new prime minis
ter of Spain has had experience in the
three troubles that harasS that coun-
try most. He is native of the Philip
pines, he has been. a soldier dn Cuba
and has aided in .quealing Carlist dis
turbances. Az minister of war, Azcar
raga has followed closely the revolts
in the two hemispheres, and knows in
timately of the progress of the Spanish
forces in the two islands. 1t is not a
position of easy duties which he has
accepted, and no doubt the finances
of Spain will cause him many weary
hour, but it is an interesting and signi-
ficant fact that Canovas has been killed

date disaster to the affairs of state.
