Notes from the Providence Journal:
Ia The usual and more approved continue ion Is
kip. The text move, however is one that must
be carefully met by the second player, as will be
seen.
tb) An innovation and one not to be commended.
The correct play was BORA or kt-klI3: other
moves for Black, such OBJ, P-Q3 and
B-Kt5ch are less satisfactory.
(c) Kt-KR4 would have prevented the adverse
queen from going to Kt3
Id This ill-advised sally of the queen loses a
clear pawn, and likewise gives White the superior
position. Kt-KR4 is still preferable.

Blacks cramped position.

SECOND GAME.


The last game was the most interesting
OF the series, and was very closely con-
tested at every point. But nine pins stood
between the teams at the close, and the
margin was nearly as close throughout
the struggle. The finish was one of the
most exciting ever witnessed in a league
match With victory almost within reach
Harlow left 81 split on the alley, and
the game was as good as lost. But bowl
Ing swiftly along the edge of the alley,
he turned the split into a spare amid the
wild cheers of the Institute rooters He
followed this up with ten-shot, so that
the game was again even. Gerst won for
the visitors by running a triple header

PREPs DEFEAT WESTERNS.
A Spirited Contest on the Georgetown
University Campus

The game yesterday afternoon between
the Georgetown Props and the Western
High School foot ball teams on the COL
lege campus was one of the most spirited
contests witnessed there this season.
Smarting under the defeat administered to
them by the Westerns several weeks ago,
the Props went in to WIN and by all-round
playing scored eleven points to the visitors
zero. ..r..
The play Of the Props was marked by
the quick getting off Of the backs and fine
team work, individual work being conspicu-
Gus by its absence. In punting the leather,
Coleman. for the Props, had the better of
the argument In every case. Fumblng was
one of the features of the Westerns play,
and but for this the game would have been
closer. The star play of the game was the
goal from the field by Coleman, who drop
ped the ball from the twenty-five-yard line
and at an angle that would have done
credit to many on older player. The play
ing Of Coleman, Donaher and EdmOnston
for the Props and Captain Huck for the
Westerns was Of the first class.

MUSIC AND INSTRUMENTS.

In these later days nearly every fami-
ly has, or should have musical instru-
ment of some kind. Those who have

the largest assortment of music for the
lowest prices and those who have not
where they can secure an autoharp, &C.
cordeon, banjo, guitar, mandolin, violin,
flute, either or any musical instrument
they desire at a bargain. For their benz
fit we advise them to call on The Nor
throp Publishing Co., 60 Fairfield ave-
nue., Bridgeport. where they will find q
full line of musical instruments for low
prices, and the largest stock Of sheet
music in the state, ranging in price from
one cent to fifty cents per copy. They
sell any sheet music for half price and
many copies for less than the cost Of the
paper they are printed on. They also
carry line of novelties, pictures and
frames. all styles of frames are made to
order. They buy, sell and exchange
second hand school books. They have a
supply Of school supplies, blank books
and stationery. When you visit Bridge

THE BEES news letters from the vari-
GUS towns occasionally contains items
furnishing testimony on the downward
tendency Of farm property in towns
back from the railroad. In the own OF
Warren small farm which 25 years ago
was mortgaged to a wealthy farmer for
5000, was sold the other day for 500
In Woodbury. farm Of 100 acres, which
20 years ago the owner refused $500 for
was sold this spring for $4,000, the pur.
chaser being son of Austria. In the
town OF Sherman we know of one of the
finest farms in Connecticut, for which,
30 years ago, $4,000 was refused, and
20 years ago was appriaed for $500, was
sold, not over three years ago, for $4,000.
There is no doubt that as much money
can be made on these back farms as 30
or 40 years age, and more, IL the farmer
of to-day was willing to make the priva-
tions the fathers did. But the farmers
of to-day live in better style and have
more comforts than did the farmers of
two generations ago. There is hard
work on these back farms, and the young
men are attracted toward the cities.
Then again many farmers feel the lack
Of proper schools In the smaller towns.
Their children can get no higher than
the district schools, and many of these
are poor enough. This explains why
such a town as New Milford has mad
rapid growth. The town is fortunate in
having a good school system, which is
taken advantage Of by many in the ad-
joining towns. Will farm property in
New England continue to decline in
value? AS we have before stated, we do
not think so, but in some sections there
may be still lower prices on farms.
With such state Of things existing 1t be.
hoves the country towns to be consarva-
tive in the expenditures of funds. ALI
the towns about here have large debts,
Newtown $34. 900 or more, New Milford,
seO, 900, Woodbury. $50, 600 or thereabouts
Roxbury, $4,000, Washington about
$50 900, and SO 1t goes. We believe Ed
Itor Bolles Is right in calling a halt in
the lavish expenditures Of public funds.
Let the towns face the music, lay tax
large enough to meet current expenses
and gradually retire the indebtedness.
Don't put 1t off as curse upon the com
Ing generations. 1t isn't good business
and 1t isn't right.
