DON'T BE A KN0cKER !

The fact that Akron's Free Carni-
val and Street Fair will benefit the
whole city is very good reason why
the public-spirited business men who
have the management of the Fair in
charge should be given every en-
couragement possible.
1t is to be hoped that nobody in
Akron will be so lacking in the spirit
of local pride as to say or do any
thing harmful to the interests of the
Fair. Akron's merchants will sell
lots of goods during fair week to Wis
itors from other cities. And a great
many men will be given good en-
ployment. But the paramount object
is to furnish splendid entertainment
to Akron people and their guests,
absolutely free to all, this being the
best way to draw visitors here and
thus advertise Kkron's public spirit
and enterprise.
There is no selfishness or narrow
ness of purpose about such an UNDER
taking, so Akron people should

HOW TO MAKE
PEACH ICE CREAM

One pint of sweet cream, one pint
of new milk, one heaping coffee cup
full of sugar. Place over the fire until
it comes to boil. Cool, and add one
quart of peach pulp, which has been
rubbed througha a sieve. Freeze until
stiff. Anyone who has small freezer
can make Peach Ice Cream, or you
can order it from Model Bakery by
giving the order few hours before
wanted. Our Ice Cream, this season,
has been most satisfactory. The COM
pliments have been frequent and
very gratifying. You will only need
try it to be convinced that it is made
from pure cream and best fiavoring.

FORTY FOUR
Engines to be Added to
Erie Equipment.
Mammoth Combinations For Freight
Trains-Ready by December.

1t seems that the whole story has
not yet been told concerning the new
engines of the Erie, says the Cleve-
land Leader. They have now under
order from the various plants some
thing like A new engines. Of these,
20 are from the Brooks works at Dun
kirk, and are of the mammoth COM
bination type, which are the largest
engines on any road in the country.
These are similar to the great combi-
nation engines which are now being
run on the Mahoning division exclu-
sively for the purpose of hauling
heavy ore trains from the lakes to
the furnaces, and the coal trains
from the mines to the lakes. The
new engines being similar to the
ones now in use, will be put into SER
vice on the main line, where they
will haul the heavy freight trains
that have to make the big grades.
A few things are just being learned
about the engines that are being
made in the shops at Meadville.
Five of them are new and are design
ed for fast passenger business, being
very similar to the Atlantic type, of
which the road has already supply.
These ARE to have a 7S-inch drivers
and are to have boilers that Will car
ry constantly 200 pounds pressure of
steam to the square inch. The ten
ders will carry 5000 gallons of water.
The engines will be able to run from
Marion to Chicago, a distance of 269
miles, with but two stops for water.
The cylinders will be 1Sx26. The en-
gine without the tender will weigh
l24, 600 pounds. The tender will car
ry II to II tons of coal.
Four of the nine engines now being
built will be remodeled, being made
into the Wooten type of boilers, and
will be similar to those now oper-
ated on the Mahoning division. They
will be used for freight purposes
only.
In addition to all of these engines
there are the fifteen passenger en-
gines of the Atlantic type that are
now under the process of construc-
tion, and will be out in very short
time. 1t is estimated that all of
these engines will be on the road be-
fore the first of December.

Remarkable Performance.
In it's current issue the American
Sportsman has the following fiatter-
ing notice of Temper's performance
at Glenville recently:
A performance, probably unequaIed
in turf history, was made on Satur-
day when the midget Temper trotted
a mile in 2:ll4 to wagon, driven by
her owner, Mr.. w. NJ. GUNNER.
Temper is the smallest trotter that
was ever on the turf, standing barely
IA hands and weighing 700 pou nds.
In her trip she trotted the quarter in
321S and was then taken back, but
being driven out from the three
quarters, trotted the last quarter in
BIZ, the time of the last half being
1:04s4.
Temper is eight years old. and is
strongly bred in producing lines.
Her sire, Elyria, has trotting rec
ord of 2:251, while her dam, Tenn
pest, 2:27A, was a noted campaigner
of Northern Ohio, and was by the
Ohio campaigner Sunshine, 2:29144,
out of Nellie, a mare of untraced
breeding that raced considerably
and took record of 2:39, and that
often met Sunshine in races when
both were campaigning 20 years ago.
Temper carries record of 2:12s4,
made at the recent Cleveland meet
ing.

each with Tom Dugan of Australia,
and Jack Graham, of Pittsburg, be-
fore 1000 people at Davenport Thurs

fair was farcical.
Tom Ryan was present and was
challenged by Mccoy by name, but
would not respond, though called for
by the audience.
