 President Falkner, in speaking of the 
 Fair Association had no intention of vio- lating any law of the State or city, but that it did intend to have some very fine racing.
 '"The association will not be on the de- fensive," said Colonel Falkner, 'but will offer premiums, and pay them, for good races If anybody violates the law it will be because the officials do not do their duty. If anybody has been holding off for fear that we would violate the law, they can now come in and help us and feel as- sured that there will be no law-breaking by the Alabama Fair Association"
 I. K. Felch of Natich, Mass, has been engaged to act as judge of the poultry and pet stock exhibits MT. Felch has a national reputation as a fancier and holds more medals than perhaps any other indi- vidual in the country, awarded him for his exhibits.

REGULAR MEETING . POLICE COMMISSION
Chief Austin Submits Report for Month of September
 tIe Business Transacted

The Police Commission held it's regular monthly meeting last night, but outside of a few routine matters nothing of interest was done
 There were present Commissioners Chiles, McCary, Stradford, Bridges, Norton, Mob ley and Parker.
 The first matter taken up under the head of unfinished business was petition from Patrolman Ritchie asking half pay for about three months time during which he had been confined to his bed with Illness. The petition stated that the officers funds had become exhausted and that he was forced to go in debt to support his family while he was unable to work. The petition was allowed.
 The case of Officer Robert McCollum was then taken up and he was allowed half pay for the full time he had been ill., Officer McColum is one of the oldest men on the force and, 1t is said, was very much in need of financial assistance.
 The commission then heard the monthly report of Chief of Police Austin which is as follows:
 gro the Honorable Board of Police Con-
 missioners:
 "Gentlemen:-I have the hoonr to submit herewith a report of the Police Department for the month of September 1900: ITO fines and fees collected. .....$1662 75 Decrease over September, 1899. 9....... 1925 'Value of stolen property recovered. 5S6.5O Arrested for burglary and grand
 larceny........ 26 'Bound over to the Criminal Court. IT Total number of arrests.............. 7S9 "Calls answered by morning
 mounted man....... ........ ........ 1Os Calls answered by evening mounted
 man....... .......... ........ Ill Trips made by patrol wagon........ POT
 Yours very respectfully,
 "C. W. AUSTIN, Chief of Police"
 After this report had been read and ap- proved Commissioner Parker moved that hereafter the board hold meetings twice a month instead of once, as is the custom now, and that the meetings be called to order at clock instead of S:3O. This mo- ton was lost but the chairman said he would hereafter call the meetings to order at o'clock.
 Several matters of minor importance were then taken up and the commission ad- journed at 9:20.

Who is the Best ManP

The Brattleboro Phoenix says: 1t Is
! Senator Ross s own actiOn-the GRASP
which he has shown of important pub
lie affairs and the record which he has
made in the Scnate-which has raised
the question whether he is not enti-
tied to another two years service, and
whether he could serve the state bet
ter than any other man during those
two years. Under these circumstan-
ces it, is entirely in order for Judge
Ross friends to claim that he has a
right to ill out the whole Of Mr.. Nor
rill's term and that, with a view to
the best public service, change could
be made as well or better in two years
than now.
With regard to the question OF
man being in "the prime of physical
and mental manhood, raised or sug-
gested by the Waterman, it is to he
said that, although advanced in years,
Senator Ross is remarkably well pre-.
served. Physically few men at fifty
are his superiorS. Mentally he is
stronger than ever before, for to his
acute mind and his long years of
training as lawyer and judge have
been added two years of service in the
Senate at one OF the critical times in
the country's history. The Watch
mans argument falls to the ground
in the face of the question squarely
put Are there two men in the state
as well qualified to carry on the work
Of Vermont in the Senate during the
of the present Congress as
the two men who served through the
Iirst session, or can it be contended
that any man in the state is better
able to handle the "great questions"
by the Waterman than
Senator Ross? His'own record is the
ans 1er. So much is in justice to be
said in the senator's behalf.

the most advisable course was to
