The first arrival of New
Dress Goods

Came in last Saturday and our Stock was never
in better shape to receive them. We had cleaned
up closer than ever and we Bought Early. If we
had not we could not get them now, as this is

and an opportunity to eat a bite or
quench any possible thirst, resultant
fem the dust of the road.
The idea has proven immensely pop
ular elsewhere, and the completion of
TIE speedway has awakened the pro-
ject into new life William c. Searls
and other prominent members of the
driving club are enthusiastic for the
road club. 1t is doubtful, however, if
the matter comes up for serious con-
sheraton before the next meeting of
the old club, when Capt Charles T.
Pratt and a half dozen other members
may be depended upon to boom the
proposition.
Although the new speedway will be
an ideal snewrath for the annual winter
run, there is strong sentiment that it
will never supplant the avenue when
the fun begins. The old route is toe
popular with the generality of drivers.
and has been the scene of too many
warm contests to be entirely supplanted
by the new speedway. 1t is believed
that the claims of the new snowpath
must be pretty strong to call the sleigh

Duck is chiefly affected by cowboys, but
it is becoming more and more popular

Fencing has taken a boom in Worces-
ter, and there is a movement on foot to
start a class. Napoleon R. Hilbert,
photographer at 997 Main street, is per-
haps one of the best teachers in this
part Of the country. and is at the head
of the movement in introducing the
new sport here. Some five years ago
Mr.. Hilbert started a class which was
known as the 'Musketeers," and had
over 20 pupils, whom he taught to use
the sword. He afterwards formed a
club and continued to be the instructor
for year, when he resigned to attend
to his business Later the club hired
rooms in Beaver hall and again thrived
for a while, but in the course of a year
the number of members was so small
that it was decided to, discontinue hold

of the Philadelphia Times. The Stan

tion-but, and here comes the usual
difficulty with extremists, there is real
ly no necessity for placing the belt half
way up the back in order to obtain that
slant.
That's what many women do, how
ever. They place their girdles at least
two or three inches above the waist
line in the back and then draw it down
about to the waist proper in front, by

ders the hand insensible to a delicate
touch, or pressure of adversary's blade.
When one possesses this faculty the
slightest movement of the opponent is
easily detected, and in this way the
blow may be thrown off. 1t is also nee
essary that the pupil should be taught
to stand firmly on the left foot. The
instructor should pay particular atten-
ton to the position of the body, as
many of the pupils are inclined to start
the body before the arm has been fully

Mr. Hilbert has attained the distinc-

army, and will return to Paris in 1906
to attend the worlds fair. He expects
to have another degree conferred upon
