Boston, Jan. 1.-THE annual meeting
of the New England Baseball league was
held here yesterday. Newport, r. l.. was
admitted to membership. Cambridge,
Lowell and Taunton applied for member
ship.
New Bedford resigned, which leaves
the following clubs in the league: Fall
River. Pawtucket. Bangor, Newport
and Brockton.
President Timothy II. Murnane pro-
sided. and Secretary Treasurer ]. G..

At meeting Of the directors the cham
pionship was awarded to Fall River. The
New Bedford clubs case was discussed.
This club was expelled last year, but a
letter of explanation Of the clubs con-
duct was received. The action Of the
board of directors in expelling this club
was rescinded. Then the New Bedford
club resigned, and the resignation was
accepted.
President Murnane, Secretary Morse
and Horace A. Keith of Brockton were
appointed a committee on circuit. New
Bedford will again apply for admission
The sentiment of the clubs was that
there should be no Maine clubs.
p. l.. Pettee, a well-known ball player,
made the application for Taunton. M
II. McDermott, formerly of Fall River,
Taunton and Bangor, put in an applica-
ton for Lowell, and William II. Long
the well-known umpire, asked that Cam
bridge be admitted. 1t Is said that there
will be no Maine clubs at all, which will
shut out Bangor. New Bedford and
Taunton are said to be slated, and pos
sjbly the circuit will be enlarged to eight
clubs, with Lowell and Cambridge as the
two other cities. or the clubs now In
Bangor will, in all probability, be let out

roads become dry he will take long runs

The record made by Captain Webb In
1875 in swimming the 81 nautical miles
between Dover and Calais was 81 hours
and As minutes. McNally thinks he lost
a great deal by not using the tides to his
advantage. AS swimmer encountering
the channel course Is compelled to swim
across the tide, the Boston man thinks he
can make the current assist him by swim
imng zigzag course six hours or less on
each tack. Seafaring men acquainted with
the currents In the channel agree that his
theory Is correct. He will have to swim
longer distance, but he Is confident that
he can achieve the result he desires with
less fatigue and greater dispatch.
McNally now weighs 17S pounds strip
ped. He will continue to train down TO
165 and hold that weight until May l.,
when he will begin to put on flesh. Nc
Nally Is young and strong and has already
a number Of long swims to his credit. He
takes good care of himself and trains judi
ciously, and II anybody can do what he
has set out to accomplish McNally ought
to be the man.

Pine COlOring.

Even in pipo colorng contest the in
evitable fakist plays his part. Said II to-
bacconist to the writer: "We gave % prize
to competitor whose pipe was most beau
tifully tinted, but we discovered when too
late that it's color had been impaired arti-
ficially. What the exact stain was we could
never determine, but 1t gave natural hue
TO tho bowl and had been used time and
again at similar contests by the originator.
"A prize Of guincas-ofIercd 10y a
pushing tobacconst-was very nearly
awarded to a smoker whose pipe was Of u
lovely golden brown. Careful investica-
tion revealed tho fact that It's complexion
was barely skin deep, and few minutes
gentle rubbing reduced il 20 its original
state Of whiteness.
"To color his pipe in faultless state of
uniformity winner OF many prizes baked
the bowl in dish containing some color
ing solution. This placed In an oven and
cooked gently fastened the color.
"A perfect specimen of tho fakist's art
would have carried the day, but it's depth
of color-a brown black of unusual rich
ness-excited suspicion, and put to the test
the pipe was discovered tn be hand tintod.
But for the artists ambition TO attain
something extraordinary In the matter OF
color he would undoubtedly have come up
first. London Tit Bits

William Morris acquainted with the lady

turns that he did 30 because he had fallen
In love with her eyes and wanted Morris

Not long after the marriage Rossetti asked
a few friends to consolation dinner.
During the festivity there was some dis
turbance outside the windows, and when
1t had ended Rossetti went to one OF them
and drawing back the curtain showed a
bull In the garden tethered in the midst of
the ruin ho had made. AS his friends ex-
claimed at the presence OF such an unruly
element, Rossetti ruefully explained that

heard something like this before you
will say. just so, but you don't seem
to have benefited by it my Floridian
brother. 1t is same with states as
with individuals.
There has been quite a considerable
amount of whining about the eNor-
bitant charges 10y railroads for car
rying our vegetable produce ito the
northern markets, and justly so, but
one begins to think that people who
are so shiftless as to permit produce
in the shape of canned vegetable
goods to be brought to us from the
north by the thousands of toms, Gust
consider it), every year, when we can
supply the demand, deserve to be
treated just as we are. Shame on
such utter helplessness. Fancy see
ing as we all have, farmers carrying
home loads of hay, grain and the
everlasting ''camned goods,' even
sometimes canned milk. [ reckon we
shall never get rich ait this rate. The
railroads get it all.
You have made, in your valuable
paper, efforts to impress on our peo-
pie the profits of canning their own
surplus vegetable products, but have
heard very little about your sugges-
tions being followed.
/ see that canning machines can be
obtained at prices ranging from $500
(for famiEes) upwards. Cheap
enough one would suppose. AS for
hay and grain, every farmer should
raise enough of those, for at least
his own use, if he has land worth cul-
'tivating. :, F. j. LaPenotiere.
