Some forty or fifty prominent sports men were present and well cared for at the Chelsea Hotel Gan ideal hunters s resorD, by the Whitakers, who it is said, have the reputat ation of bringing in as big bags as anybody, and know just what to do for both men and dogs. The club was reorganized in spacious apartment of the hotel, made cheerful py the warmth and light of a grand old fireplace, around which the party gath cred to elect officers, subscribe their names as members for the coming year. and to transact any other business proper; also to talk over good old times on the field; and royal good set of fellows they were, too.
 The club bids fair to become a fixed event and to increase in popularity from year to year All lovers of the dog and gun and the field, with their many ups and downs, are cordially invited to become members, and can do so upon application to the genial secretary, MT. John F. Bassett, New Haven. Conn.,, and the payment of membership fee of $2 and annual dues $1. Several local dogs

participated in the event. the interest in the contest was centered in MT. Will liam c. Comstocks brace of English settlers Doll, Gladstone, winner of first prize, and Rubys Dan, winner of third prize. Both animals are of the richest breeding, and their performance was a treat to those who were fortunate enough to witness.
 Dol. Gladstone is a beautiful blue Bel ton of wide experience and remarkable bird sense, bred in Ohio, trained in Ala bama, and found in Minnesota. She is by Gladstone's Boy, the greatest son producer of four field trial winners, by Count Noble, and is years old. She was drawn with the first brace, and opened the mornings work by quickly and accurately pointing three grouse and a woodcock, and by promptly back ing her opponents single point. The dogs were then taken up and other braces occupied the rest of the day. The next day she was called to run a de- ciding heat with Rowdy Boy, previous field trial winner, and very good dog, by Roderigo. In this heat Doll. dis

tinguished herself by showing the most
 accurate and intelligent work of the
 trials. Very shortly after being put down, she made positive points on a
 bevy of quail, in a field that had just
 been worked by other dogs without re- suit. While she stood the birds were not followed. The dogs were ordered in- to another field, and Doll pointed in an open pasture, facing stone wall A moment later she had crept up head and shoulders above the wall and was still pointing. She entered the next field of birches and scrub oaks, and proceeded some distance and came to decided stop, and the birds were ordered flushed. Four rods ahead, a bird was flushed and killed. She did not move until ordered. She then advanced very carefully and again made a decided point. The birds were ordered flushed and a large bevy were found to be scattered all abouther and were flushed in all directions one after another, without disturbing her, Roy backing at a distance. The sight was a pretty one and seemed to please everybody,

 Doll. isa quick, merry worker, very positive and stylish on her points, and thoroughly practical and level-headed in her work, She requires no coaching whatever.
 Ruby's Dan, winner of the third prize, is a very handsome black, white and tan dog of two years, Sired by Dan Gladstone (Sire of Dams Lady, the greatest winning and producing Eng fish setter bitch in the country), dam Gath's Ruby by Gath's Mark, second dam, Ruby's Girl, who is also the dam of Count Gladstone w., the greatest winning and producing dog.

gle birds, pointing and backing each other in rapid succession, was sight not often seen in these parts, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the spectators. "There you get it," says one. That's the real stuff" says another It was hard to pick the winner. Dan did the most active and stylish work, while Roy had the advantage ot several years in age and experience. Although the work was rapid, not bird was flushed, nor point made that was not backed when required. Dan made a hit by going over fence and pointing an- other bird after it was supposed all were gone. The bird was flushed and shot in order to test his retrieving qualities, which he pointed dead and retrieved handsomely, thus finishing the heat.
 MT. Comstock handles his dogs him self and has had good success with them both here and in the South, where he uses them for practical shoot ing dogs. They can be seen at his home in East Hartford.

 Lift up the door, Rob. We may as well go down. Whoever took that tongue out wouldn't leave it where we could find it, you may be sure," said True.
 But when Rob tried to lift the door, To and behold! it stuck fast. The iron ring which had once served as a handle was broken off, and there was no way by which they could get a sufficiently firm hold to pull with any considerable amount of strength. They tried to pry it open with their knives, but only sue ceeded in breaking them. And time was wearing away, and the Borrows- vile celebration must be getting to- ward its liveliest.

 Its a pretty place to spend the Fourth in!" said Rob, with a groan. How long do you suppose it will be be- fore they miss us at home and come to look for us?"
 "Why, they'd never think of coming here to look," replied True. And my mother said might stay all night with my cousins over at Borrowsville. She won't expect me home till tomorrow, and your folks will think you've stayed with me. Anyway, they would never think we were up in the church steeple."

 "She won't. She's too much afraid of her father to tell that she gave us the key" averred True. But he'll find out that the key is gone, and then he'll suspect that we are here," said Penney, who was deter mined to look on the bright side.
 "Next Sunday, maybe! We shall be starved to death before then!" said Rob, who was not proving himself as brave as his desire for fighting had led his comrades to suppose. Somebody must have got wind of what we meant to do, or the tongue wouldn't have been taken out of the bell," said Penney; land no one could

IN THE HANDS OF SPOILSMEN. President Mckinley Makes a Bsd Mess of the Civil Service
 MntteP.

After months of shivering on the brink President Mckinley has finally taken the plunge. The order modify ing the civil service restrictions % as to exempt large number of offices from the classified service was approved in cabinet meeting the other day and will be signed and promulgated as soon as some changes have been effected.
 The number taken out from under the protection of the civil service rules and thrown to be scrambled for by the spoilsmen is not so large as originally demanded, and there will be great dis appointment in consequence. Never theless, it is no slight percentage of the whole number in the classified serv- ice. Out of 65,000 offices now in the classified list 4,000 are to be withdrawn, being little over six per cent. of the whole.
 Four thousand offices are not enough to go around the anxious and hungry expectants, and three times that num- Der of office seekers will be disappoint- ed and angry. But there may be moro before long if the pressure upon the president is kept up.
 The important thing is that the lines of civil service protection have been broken down at one point. It is tho first breach that counts. Hitherto there has been steady building up and strengthening of the civil service de- lenses. Now a part has been broken down and that will weaken all the rest.
 President Mckinley has taken a step which he may have cause to regret. He may have strengthened himself with the spells politicians, but he has weak. ened his hold on the thinking people of his own party and has deeply grieved thousands of independent citizens who voted for him after his acceptance of the platform which declared: "The civil service law was placed upon the statute book by the republic. an party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our repeated declara- tions that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wherever practicable"
 It is arepublican president, electedon that platform, pledged to it, and who in his inaugural said: Reforms in tho civil service must go on" who has rec stricted instead of extended the opera tions of the civil service law and who has effected a retrogression in civil service reform when he had promised that it should Ego on.''
 Where is the Mckinley backbone?- Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Forrest City times., 1899-06-30
The Future of Mark Hanna.

Hanna is to be accounted one of the most potent infiuences-probably the most potent influence-in the govern ment, as long as Mckinley is president. Whether he has attained anything be- yond this is more open to question. We see no proof of his influence in the senate, aside from what this affords him. He has certainly taken no lead ing position in debate there. We find him neither originating nor connecting his name with any important question of public policy. His fellow senators do not refer to him any further than he is supposed to represent President Me Kinley. President McKinley's own course upon public questions has been negative or tentative, according to the native bent of his mind. He has never put forward any policy through Hanna, and Hanna has, apparently, no policy of his own with symptoms of enter priss in it on the currency or the for eign affairs of the currency. There is obvious reason why he should be reti- cent on that of trusts. He stands in the senate solely as the reputed con- fidant of Mckinley, and in his attitude he is not enterprising. We see no in- dication that he is to be a power in republican politics after Mckinley leaves the official stage.-Boston Her aid.
