After many years of neglect and de-
lay the city is about to connect the Mar
tin Brook with the local water system.
Never did town, village or city regret
its great mistake as does Barre today
that the city or rather the old town was
not the first owner of the local water
system. The votors of Barre should
not forget this experience, and before
it becomes too late take steps to control
the street lighting in the city limits.

On the Corner.

''W o3ders never cease cried the Boss
as the members of the club went hurry
ing into the fine open summer car of the
electric railroad last nj ght, and enjoyed
the trip to our jealous neighbor down
the brook. The few members who
were on time for the "Trolly Party" oc-
cupicd rear seats in the car while the
Inspector stood on the rear platform and
with ears and eyes open l listened for
the comments which the club might per-
haps make on the new line of transport
tation. The Boss said well now come
to think of it ! dunno as the city will be
very bad off if these pesky things do
run up the street, and perhaps it will
put little life into some of them old
wayback horses. And l don't think
taxes will be increased, His remarks
were greeted with mods of approval by
the members of the gang. They were
obliged to pay their fare and this caused
them to kick little against the monop-
oily that owns our street rights. AS !
heard these remarks by this very useless
crowd of loafers and trolly jumpers l
thought that instead of being blamed be-
cause they had granted rights and privi-
leges to the street railway company our
Council should be given words of praise
No one who enjoyed ride on the trolly
last night could have failed to notice the
large crowds which sought to enjoy
ride on our third railroad. This shows
that the road is demanded and when a
City Council has only answered the de-
mands of the public they cannot be
blamed. Taxes will never be increased
by reason of the laying Of the tracks for
the electric railroad,
When the Conductor had managed to
secure the required fare from the Boss
and his small tribe, and the novelty Of
riding on the trolly had worn away the
gang settled down to their usual discus
sion of local affairs. The first question
which seemed to disturb their mind was
the matter of the letting Of the contract
for the erection of the new city hall
building. The Boss said he thought it
very strange that none Of the contrac-
tors had made bids inside the limit as
voted at the city meeting. One of the
gang answered by the remark that local
granite dealers had not made any bids
or given any figures on the granite
work called for in the specifications,
and that this fact prevented the bidders
coming inside the $50, 900 limit. Now
while the Inspector is a strong advocate
OF Barre granite, yet in conversation
with large numbers of local granite
dealers the fact has been ascertained
that $4,000 will have to be added to
the present limit if the building is to be
erected as now intended. Would il not
be better, members of the gang, to use
the buff brick and 60 along with the
building, or do you kickers and croak-
ers want towait another year. The In
spcctor however is in favor of making
another additional appropriation of Sl0,-
900 and put it up of granite, but Just as
inc Boss announced the next subject
the "water question" the Con-
iuctor called "cnd of route" The |
gang alighted and was seen no more |
asst night by The INSPECTOR.

Combination Of Peoples.

On the question of a direct al
lance, governing future action,
publicists across the border draw a
distinction between an alliance that
ia offensive and an alliance that is
defensive. They may not be pre-
pared to enter with Great Britain
into wars of an aggressive character;
but they speak with satisfaction Of
a combination of both nations to
resist aggressive action from one or
more other nations. Nor do they
view such step with feelings other
than of pride. They would like to
stand side by side with the old
mother land Toronto Mail and En-
press.

allowed from their decision in that
respect, but all their decisions shall
be in strict conformity with the
rules, or with the principles thereof"
We certainly should like to see
an explanation of the judges who
on Saturday declared bets "off."
The meeting was we'll conducted
and great credit is due to the ex-
ecutive committee and the secretary
OF the Club who have had the in
provements OF the social portion OF
the track in hand.
The band was in attendance and
refreshments were served in the
usual places.
The following is a resume Of the
events which were followed with
much enthusiasm by the "winners:"
Union Feed Co.'s Cup. Running
race, half-mile dash, won by Ve-
nus, Fashion second. Time, 495.
Hawaiian Jockey Club Purse.
Five-eighths mile dash (Hawaiian
breds), won by Royalist, Magnet
second
Kapiolani Park Purse. Trotting
and pacing to harness, won by
Directress, Watermelon Joe second
Gerster distanced. Tin this race
bets for place between Watermelon
Joe and Gerster go to the first
named Watermelon Joe came un-
der the wire ahead of Gerster and
the fact that he was weighed out"
plays no figure in deciding the bets
for place.
Irwin Cup. One mile dash, won
by Antidote in 1:49a, Magnet second.
Waikapu Challenge Cup. Three
fourths mile dash; won by Venus in
Lie, beating Hancook's time by !.
Kamehameha Purse. Trotting and
pacing; won by W. Wood in 2:17,
Creole second in 2:l7a lowering his
record by 2 minutes. (This was the
finest race and great credit is due
to j. Gibson, the driver OF Creole,
and later on OF Irish Lassie which
made mile in 2:l7 1-5. Mr.. Gibson
is undoubtedly the best driver on
this track. He knows his horses;
he knows the track and he knows
his opponents. Aloha nui to the
driver who made the two horses
mentioned touch 2:17.)
Oceanic S. S. Co.'s Cup. Three
fourths mile. Great dissatisfaction
was created at this race, Royalist
ran away and paraded mile for his
own pleasure. A start was made
and Amarino won the race. Owing
to the decision Of the judges the rae 6
was run over and Antidote was in
2:17, Amarino being a close second,
Rosita Challenge Cup. Won easy
by Sympathetic Last in 1:49.
Honolulu Purse. This was the
race Of the day and the results were
as predicted. Irish Lassie played
