Twelve hacks were necessary to CON

for his riding companion a small porker
which he won in Providence five weeks

A Worcester Party Enjoys Rare Va
cation at Cape Breton.


Mr.. and Mrs. William S. Perry Allie
Perry, Mr. and Mrs. Robert d. Perry
and Albert II. Perry returned Saturday
from Cape Breton N. s., where they
have been for six weeks. William S.
Perry, than whom no truer sportsman
Is to be found in Worcester county, is
enthusiastic over the quality of fishing
to be found in the region from which
he has just returned, and where straw
berries are just ripening.
The sea trout, which run up the
streams, just as New England salmon
are wont to do, afford the finest fishing
in the world, in Mr.. Perry's opinion
of brilliant silver, dotted with spark
ling red spots, after the fashion of the
beauty marks of the brook trout.
From the same stream where magnifi-
cent brook trout We're taken, the sea
trout rose to the cast and the latter
are the sought-for fish, because of their
size and superb game qualities. They
run in weight from two to five pounds
and are capable of the sort of fight that
delights the heart of the sportsman.
OF the qualities of Cape Breton as a
summer resort, Mr.. Perry Is pronounce
ed in words of praise. He says the sec
ton from which he has just returned
is constantly increasing in popularity
from year to year, and this summer he

THE LIMIT RAISED ON SPORT

Fhe Rooters of Worcester gave a re-
ception, yesterday, to the RIOTERS Of
Boston and Providence. 1t wasn't like
the ordinary reception. The word in its
common sense implies chaperons and
tete-a-tetes with charming ladies in
evening dress. But there were no
charming ladies at the reception, due
10 an inviolabie rule which taboos their
presence, and there were no chaperons
either. There is no rule regarding the
attendance of the latter. butff any had
put IN an appearance, they would have
shown excellent forethought by wearing
bathing dresses.

TRADE ALMOST PARALY zEO

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov 2S.-Passen-
gers from the west coast of South AM
erica report an ominous outlook in con-
nection with the spread of the bubonic
plague. There seems little doubt that
the epidemic is slowly but steadily
working westward in South America
To this dangerous plague is added the
general condition of political unrest in
all the republics Of South America. Chi
lie is on the eve of a financial crisis and
possibly of revolution, which has been
only postponed and not averted by the
governments reduction of the issue of
forced paper currency from 900

are disorganizing trade
Ecuador is in condition of incipient
revolt against the dictatorship of Presi-
dent Eloy AIfaro and a strong revolu-
tionary movement directed by the
clerical party and supported by ma
jority of the people, is said to be in
course of organization on Peruvian soil.
In Colombia civil war is raging
The plague and the war are reacting
seriously on trade and industry. The
most significant indication is the turn
ing backward of the stream of English,
German and other European CONNER

has suffered little, but from Chile to
Colombia internal trade is almost para

little or no return freight
