what havoc the blue pencil would make
among the piles of copy submitted by re-

themselves may be of interest or import

exploited so robs them of dignity and so
dresses them with froth of frivolity,
that any woman in search of information
throws down the paper with disgust. As

From the ouarter-Deo1 to the Farm
Washington Star. J


NAVAL officers always settle in the
country when they can," remarked a
prominent naval officer to a Star reporter.
During their active careers, that is dur
ing the time they are at sea, they are nee
essarily cramped for room, and while
some of them on the large modern ships
have elegant and sumptuous quarters,
there is necessarily limit to it. This
thing grows on a man to such an extent
that the first thing he does when he is
retired, and in hundreds of cases long be-
fore retirement, he hunts up and locates
on farm. Three of the admirals of the
retire list, headed by Admiral Ammen,
are the owners of farms in the immediate
locality OF Washington, and any number
OF other officers are similarly provided
for, though their farms are not so extern
slve. They seem to want stretching
room, and 1t will be noticed that when
they DO locate they secure big places.
Ineir minds run into stock and chicken
raising. The officers of the marine corps
have been noted for years as the owners
OF the speediest horses owned or driven
about Washington, and they have been al
ways prominent in connection with our
racing associations and organizations.
Naval officers have been similarly prom1-
nent. 1t is different with army officers
Their ambition seems to be for nice
horses in the cities The naval officers
ideas all run toward the country. L
don t like to give names, but L could give
dozens of illustrations to prove what l
say, II 1t were necessary. lake q looksat

New England League Pennant.

New England League remnant !
The Brockton Enterprise has the fol-
lowing to say Of the recent outcome Of
the New England series of games:
In 1896 Fall River, with the kindly CO.
operation of the powers behind the New
England league throne, was awarded the
championship over Bangor, to whom in
all Justice and fairness 1t belonged. The
ring" was out for Fall River, and that
settled it. The game by which Fall
River captured the pennant was played
with New Bedford. New Bedford won
10 to 4, but Umpire Hunt declared it
forfeited to Fall River because there was
but one new ball ready for play. The
things that were said about certain Bos-
ton gentlemen after that decision was up
held must have made their ears tingle
The situation today at the close of the
season of '97, is the same thing over
again. There is banding together to
rob Brockton of her rights, and repetit-
ion of the tactics that have made New
England league affairs by-word and
a reproach.
The Enterprise if we remember, was
not one of those last year who upheld
the bare faced robbery of the New Eng
land league pennant from Bangor, but it
is little more forceful in denouncing
the way they have of winning pennants
in this organization than it was year
ago, naturally. No one will deny but
that last year Bangor's percentage of
games won was greater than Fall Rivers
to whom the pennant. was awarded. This
year the case is precisely the same. Even
Newport can hardly deny that but that
technicalities aside. the pennant belongs
to Brockton, but there is good reason to
believe that the flag will be awarded to
the Rhode Island city for the same that
it was awarded to Fall River last season.
Even supposing that all was honest and
above board, which by the way no one
believes, in both cases, it is hardly the
part of a true sportsman to take PEN
nant won in this way. All there is to
1t is the glory any way land If Mr.. Charles
Marston last year, and Mr. NJ J. Finn
this, can derive any glory out of pen-
nants won in this way they ought +.
be welcome to it. The only trouble about
the matter is that deciding pennants in
this way has rendered the New England
league a bye word and a reproach, and
has done more to hurt base ball than any.
thing,which has occurred in New Emo
land since the game was played.

BREAK IN WATER MAIN.
Flood of Very Respectable Proportions ok
Congress Street This Morning.

About o'clock this morning as Off
Ger Ball was returning from lunch, he
discovered the biggest kind of a break in
the water main on State street at the
corner Of Congress. A big volume of
water was squirting into the air to
height Of five or six feet. The water
was filling the street and before the
main could be shut off had run down
nearly as far as Preble street, and hole
about IL feet in diameter had been
washed out about the break. The main
was finally shut off. Men are at work
repairing the damage. but it will be be-
tween 9 and 10 O'Clock this morning be-
fore the hole will be mended.

THE 2.1s TROT.


The 2.1S trot was the first race on
the afternoons card to be finished. Medi-
UNI Wood was the selling favorite and
was looked upon to get away with the
race, but there were those who had an
idea that the argument would be more
prolonged than what it was. Venture
w. was expected to get at least one heat.
The bay mare had three second finishes
to her credit when Ed. Geers was called
to the stand and was put up behind
Venture W., instead of Conley and even
then the best that the mare could get
was fourth.
In the first heat Medium Wood was
apparently given rest and finished in the
rear ,ibut in the three following heats won
