Big Crowd There Saturday Afternoon
 Golf Tournament Finished.
 Hundreds of people visited the Coun- try club Saturday afternoon, there be- ing two attractions, the Yale inter-elass regatta and the final play of the golf tournament for points.
 The Country club bank at Lake Whit ney was lined with an interested throne of spectators, who enjoyed the races very much and remained until the last race was rowed. A large number came out in the morning and took dinner at the club, making a very enjoyable day of it.
 The result of the golf tournament gives a tie between Isaac Lyon, Eliot Watrous and Arthur H. Day. The tie will be played off some time this week. The point score for the three weeks just ended is as follows:

and universities of to-day, while sup ported by the different denominations, are undenominational in character and teaching. All denominations, both Protestant and Catholic, are to be found In the enrolment of our promi- nent colleges. This close contact. with the large scope of university training, turns out liberal minded men of tol- erant faith. The Chatauqua system of education is finding It's way into all de- nominations and has helped on the spirit of church unity. A second class of factors is found in our philanthropic and reform agencies. The Woman's Christian Temperance union, the Anti Saloon league, and other philanthropies too numerous to mention have united Protestants and Catholics in their ef- forts to lift up the fallen.

SO vast an undertaking as the worlds
fair at Paris suggests to the mind inn
mcnse receipts and immense expenses.
but a certain profit amounting in any
event TO the many millions. The truth
of the matter IS that the promoters of
a worlds fair have to figure quite az
closely as the promoters Of any other en-
terprisc. Up 60 certain point-a certain
very high point--all the receipts must so
for expenses. If the receipts exceed that
point the profits begin. and II they never
reach II the calamity is gigantic. The
margin may be very narrow. indeed. IL
somebody should quietly circulate a re-
port that the Atlantic steamers were
over-crowded this summer. and fifty per-
sons were deferred thereby from sailing
on each steamer during the rest OF the
season. It might wipe out the margin.
and the fair would fail. There seems TO
be no doubt that Il has failed. or at least
is serious financial failure. and It is a
combination OF unforeseen. unforeseeable
circumstances that have ruined II.

WRIGHT ON TRUSTS.

Carroll ID. Wright United States COM
missioner of labor. says I'm HIS summary
OF the investigation into trusts:
The argument that the plants Of large
combinations would be inefficient as a re-
suit of careless management due TO lack
OF competition Is answered by showing
that there Is the keenest competition be-
tween different plants OF the same combi-
nation, and that the manager of each Is
constantly striving to make a record.
Comparisons are made between the
wages paid in the individual plants before
combination and the wages paid by the
combinations. Here again there are DIFF
ferences In different institutions, but the
general result has been an increase In the
average rate of wages, the change vary
ing from a decrease of 4.57 per cent. TO
an increase of-35.2s per cent This cannot
be ascribed altogether TO the effect OF
combination, however, as in ninety cases
the wages before the combinations were
formed were the rates paid when the gen.
eral level of wages was much lower than
at present
''rhe contention that travelling sales
men are injured by the formation OF
trusts does not seem to be borne out by
the reports. Only one combination reports
having done away with travelling sales
men altogether, while two combinations.
the constituent companies of which dd
not employ travelling statesmen before the
consolidation. now employ them.
Elaborate tables are introduced show
ing the range OF prices by months of the
principal products manufactured by COM
binations. These show that I'm some in
stances, as In the organization OF the
Sugar trust, the completion of the combi-
nation was followed by marked increase
in the price. This increase WAS not SO
large in the case OF the Standard Oil
trust. In both these instances. as in 9TH
ers reported, the first increase was fol-
lowed by a marked decline and a narrow
ing of the margin between the price of
the raw material and that of the finished
product"
