them down just as soon as they rise,
and before they can attain their
flight. If he hits bird before it rises,
he is charged with a miss If the pig
con rises and alights and the gunner
then kills it. he is charged with a miss
also. Sometimes a bird refuses to rise.
In that case, a boy throws seven balls
at the bird to start her up. Should
she fail to rise, he can kill her sitting
and call for another bird. The pig
cons which are used in the race are
strong, hardy birds, selected with spe-
Gial reference to their ability to fly
fast. and for their gameness after be-
ing hit. They are not the white spot
ted pigeons which you see about the
streets here, Neither are they young
birds. For weeks before the handicap,
basket upon basket of birds are bought
at the grounds and turned over to an
expert who selects the ones which go
to the traps. He invariably rejects the
white spotted birds. He picks out
slate colored pigeons, which are two
years old and upwards. They fly
strong and fast, and if they are not
hard hit. will make a fight They often
hop over the line after being brought
down within, and are apparently dead.

not a pigeon that is killed. The best
kill to use the technical expression,
is a bird whose wing is broken
1.-THE most fortunate hit for gun
ner," said Mr.. Smell, lis a broken wing.
The bird is instantly brought down,
and she can never move from the place
she falls. 1 have seen birds hit every
where else. birds with the legs and
body back of the wings entirely shot
away, fly beyond the boundary and be
scored as misses"
Mr. Smell does not intend to practice
extensively before his competition. He
recently sprained his right wrist, and
is nursing it carefully at present, in
tending to have it thoroughly strong
for the tremendous strain which the
difficult shooting places a man under.
He has already sent in his entry, and
if he meets with no exceptionally hard
luck, is picked as a prize winner by
the best Judges in Worcester.

RAILROAD CARS.
British Capitalists to
adopt American
Z Ideas.
GOING TO IRELAND.
"NTr. Dooley," the Artemus
Ward of today, to Visit
( His Native Land,
GOING TO IRELAND.

The American style railroad car has
at last made its appearance in Eng
land. 1t is indeed long after the
eleventh hour, but the change has
come, and every being that has ever
ridden in a British railroad carriage"
should rejoice profoundly at the news
The innovation made its bow at the
opening Of the new Great Central
railroad between London and Man
chester, a week or ten days ago. The
passenger coaches on this progressive
line are not split up into compart-
ments by partitions, but have an aisle
in the centre with seats at each side,
as has always been the. sensible plan
on this side of the water. Then there
are PuumaHs- for the grand people to
compensate them for the abolition of
their time honored' first class car
Tiage," While both grands and COM
moners can have their meals on the
journey in a regular dining-car fur
nished ana equipped a la Americana.
But, most amazing of all, there is a
regular, full-fedged bar on the train,
with its counter, its array of shining
glasses and its stock of liquors on the
shelves behind the waiter. Passengers
who feel so inclined can leave their
seats in the travelling cars, go to the
bar for refreshments" and partake of
them standing at the counter or sitting
al table as the inclination may be
felt They have been a long time wait
ing for the adoption of American rail-
way ideas over the pond, but when
they did make a start they left no
question as to the thoroughness of the
adoption. Wait until Exeter Hall gets
after those Great Central directOrsi
The other great railroad systems are
pretty certain to follow in the wake
of the car of progress now that It has
begun to move, and before many years
the first" second" and ''thira" class
STYLE coach will be on exhibition in the
British Museum as a relic of the past

THE WORLDS BEST TOAST.

of the many scores and even hun
dreds of dishes which it is easily posi-
BILE to evolve from the shredded whole
wheat biscuit, that of shredded wheat
biscuit toast is especially popular be-
cause so easily made and satisfying.
Its very general use in Worcester
households indicates that the local
housewife has found it to be a valuable
addition to her daily bill of fare.
How to make shredded whole wheat
biscuit toast: Split the biscuit length
wise into halves, toast to nice light
brown, either in oven or over Goals,
being careful not to burn. If butter is
usec put on cold. a little at a time
enough only for a bite at once. No yeast
germs, no baking powder gases, no
greasy shortening. and yet you have a
perfectly light and short bread. Then
why bother mixing up dough? Save the
work.
Shredded whole wheat biscuit toast
is a perfect substitute for sliced bread
for each and every meal Of the day.

F. T. Esty. Of the Sheet Metal Work

employers Of workmen Of this trade. in
order TO find out the opinions regarding
a nine hour work day with fun pay.
Yesterday he received a communication
from one Of the largest employers in
Worcester saying that this firm had
always been i'm favor Of the nine hour
day. J. w. Green, J. ". Jordan. o. S.
Kendall and II. L. Walton have eN-

ENTER THE ARMY.
Four More Men Accepted at Local
Recruiting Office.

There was a reaction at the recruit
ing office yesterday and the rigid phys
zeal examination was easy for the four
men who passed. John Morse, 21 years
old, gave a surprise party to Sergt.
Lansing, DR.. M. j. OMeara, the eX-
aiming physician, and reporters.
Morse weighed 1873 pounds and appeared
weak and understood. Expand your
chest" ordered Dr.. O'Meara after the
normal measurement Of the chest was
put down at % inches. Morse smiled,
drew his chest up, and the tape was
placed around it. DR.. O'Meara called
to the clerk to register 3712 inches as
the measurement. An expansion Of
more than three inches is considered a
rare occurrence, so Morse again dei1-
onstrated his ability to put out his
chest. Morse served in the war in the
Twelfth United States infantry and
lives in this city.
Frank A. Jarvis, who has served i'll
the navy, passed the examinations. Two
brothers from Coldbrook gave up the
farm for army life. They are Charles
l.. and Ralph l.. Clark. Morse and Jar
Wis were assigned to duty at Fort Slo-
cum, n. y, in the unassigned int'n-
try division stationed there. The Clark
brothers VIII get their HISt army eA-
perience at Fort Adams, Newport, r.
l., where they will be attached to the
Fourth United States heavy artillery.
Eight men applied in addition to those
enlisted, but none Of them was eA-
amined.
Private Harry Comerford Of the
Twelfth infantry, who jumped from the
window in chief Of police office in the
second story of the Waldo street ssa-
ton and led the police a hot chase
through the alleys and streets Of the
city, will be dealt with lightly accord
ing to local military men. The charge
of being a deserter will probably not
be pressed, and he win receive either

Makes His Debut As Harvard Baseball
PLAYER.

Cambridge, April 8.-Harvard opened
it's base ball season today by defeating
Tufts College, 5 to /, on Soldiers field.
For the first game of the season the
showing made by Harvard was dis
tinctly encouraging. The members of
the team backed each other up we'll,
and Capt Haughton kept his men on
the jump throughout the game.
The first two put-outs of the game
We're made by Dibblee, whose work in
centre field fully justified his trial.
Goodrich, the old Williams player,
made a good debut on the Harvard dia-
mond at first base and did the best
fielding for the crimson, besides doing
well at the bat Reid, the Harvard
full back and catcher, showed his lack
of early training, but did the best
batting of the day, his record being
three hits with total of five out Of
five times at bat. Score by innings:
Harvard ....... 0 1 5000 0 SIS II 8
Tufts ........... 0 0 90 1 0 0 0 o. 6

do not so suffer do not know what it
means. It racks the nerves. prevents

Robert Stewart, the wcll-known and
well-trained dog of DR.. Punk Casey
Stewart. He had many tricks in store
for his many friends and he had one
bitter enemy and that enemy pOked a
load of buckshot into his head, which
caused his death Immediately.
We append his obituary as printed by
the Tribune We consider it work Of
art and a gem.
"Died, of a gun shot wound, inflicted
by the hand of parties unknown. about
10 o'clock p. M, on the night Of Febru-
airy 21st., Robert Stewart, ESQ.
The deceased was a we'll known deDi-
zen of our city, and while he had many
friends still he had, as events proved, at
least one mortal enemy. A coroner's
tied that tend to point out the. murder
or.
The deceased had many good traits.
His education was very limited but he
had been endowed by nature with great
intelligence. He became a resident OF
our town some years ago, and his family
antecedents are unknown to the writer,
but, like Sam Jones' kitty, his father IL
suspected of being travelling man.
The cruel insinuatiOn that his death
seems to be giving general satisfaction
has reached the ears of the bereaved
friends and only adds to their grief.
In our opinion it is great wrong tC
kill dog when dogs are so scarce as in
this country, even when little BIZ
mean.

25 per cent. of their crops of that

corn was more or less damaged by
dry rot. The only theory that we

alton for this singular and unfor-

is the running OF the same ground
