ALL RUN DOWN N

Mrs. chas. Freitoy, Moosup, Conn.,, says: 'I have taken two bot ties of Burdock Blood Bitters and am feeling better than I ever did in my life. For many years I suffered with severe sick headaches and general debility. Lost all ambition and went about my duties in an ain1less manner. Had a tired, wcrn out feeling all the time, but before had taken half a bottle of E. B. B., felt relieved and am now feeling like new woman"
 Mrs. A. w. Haru, Cambridge, Me, says: II was in poor health for long time. was unable to be around or attend to my work, was troubled with constipation, neural gia and poor appetite, in fact, every trouble that attends a rundown condition of the system. and have taken two bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters and the Pills. The first dose set the machinery of life to work, and can say never took any : medicine that gave such immediate relief and set rne gaining, for which lam truly thankful"

contained themselves so long now that patience has ceased to besa virtue with them. But managers and E;players are hopeful, even If the fans are not. They know that Jupiter Pluyius must relent some time, that the sun must shine some day, and they hope the season begun so inauspiciously will be a prosperous one after all. There are many days yet in which to play off the games now being postponed daily, but these enforced postponements usd- ally mean the doubling-up process, and while two games day increase the gate receipts to some extent the money taken in at the box office on such oc- casions usually falls short of that taken in on two separate days.

PARKER AND LITTLE.

Parker and Little had great sport in New York. Little was in the audience Monday night, when man who was expected to go on with Parker did moi appear. Running down the middls aisle of the auditorium, Little, pro- claiming himself as "Jacob Schmidt demanded to be allowed to go on. Hs was taken for a drunken man, and aA he went up the aisle on his way to the rear of the stage there were many ex- pressions to the effect: See here, old man; you don't want to meet that chap" Another friend said: You're all right, but that fellow on the stage knows how to wrestle d little" The Brocktonfan had all he could do to keep a straight face. Little went on and the house was in an uproar from the minute he and Parker begans.to wrestle. They went fast, Parker wanting a good workout, and for the first time New Workers saw Parker un- derneath. They were dumfounded and a hush fell over the audience. For over ten minutes the men kept at it hammer and tongs, and then Little went down. There were cheers for both men, and when "Schmidt'' asked for another chance the next night he was applauded to the echo. The next night when Schmidt" appeared he got great hand Holm. who was to meet Parker and expected to win, re garding himself a "champeen, as Parker says. sought to advise Little how sstos stay up.'' Little took. his words in good part, and advised Holm to practice as he preached. The latter went on and was thrown in less than a minute Little pretty near laughed then. but not quite. Holm is the man Fleming said would give Parker good match. Little was followed down the street after the show by a large crowd of admirers He saw Pardello. but the latter did not see Little, and the Brockton man escaped identif1ca- ton.

ROBIN HOOD.

The announcement that the famous Bostonians will sing s'Robin Hood" at Polls on Monday evening is a matter of some interest. As is well known. this opera has had the most phenomena. al success of any light opera ever com posed, and it is easily the most pro- nounced of all the Bostonians' prom inent successes. It has had a success ful vogue for ten years and is so briln- fnl of melody and dramatic features chat volumne would be required to ,dilate fully upon the work Among the principal numbers which will arouse enthusiasm are the songs s.The Tinker's Song." 70 Promise Me- Brown October Ale" and saThe Old Cross Bow" In the cast will be heard all the prime favorites, including Barn. abee. Macdonald. Buckingham, the beautiful and brilliant soprano Estelle Wentworth, the vivacious contralto, Adele Rafter, Albert Parr, tenor, Ma bel Pierson, Josephine Bartlett, John Dunsmore, basso, and others.

 MOVING PICTURES.
 Edison's moving pictures will be the attraction next week at the Jac- cues, being shown every afternoon and evening during the week. This is the regular annual engagement which is always given to this attrac- ton near the close of the season at the Jacques, and it has special interest of it's OWE wholly apart from that usually aroused by moving pictures in that the exhibition is always given with a striking realism. It furnishes too, as pleasing interlude between the regular season and the short sup. elementary spring season, allowing op- portunity for renovation and i'm provement of the Theater. It will no doubt prove as enjoyablesa and success fJil an enjoyment as thosc that have been played before

The .'preas'' work for the American league has commenced. The ordinary dispatches from Chicago gave the crowd at the opening game as 5000, but the special efforts" ran it up to 14,500. There will be more of the same sort before "the war" is over. and people will think what great crowds there were. Then will come the collapse and the readers will know that they had been fooled.-Bridgeport Telegram.

OLD PRIZE FIGHTS.

It was not so very many years ago that the sporting editor of the Enter prise was one of the newspaper men, the others usually being Boston news paper correspondents, who had toS go chasing about this and surrounding towns on cold winter nights on wild and dreamful tips that a prize fight was going to be pulled ofY shithes, thither and yon-generally So .thither' that you never reached it. Once in awhile, though, a story resulted. Only the cheap or novice class of sparrers will consent to go into this sort Of thing nowadays, however. and they are hardly worth reporting or watchs ing. A bruising mill between two tough amateurs appeals to 1iv oiIi0tioll but those of utter animal sayagery. Brockton Enterprise.
 .ls There were others down this way, who took part in some of those wild rides, and many of them were wild goose" chases, too. As a me- mento of one of those cold, chilly rides there stands to-day out in ths. wilds of eastern Connecticut a hack, or the remnants of one. This hack once held q jolly party of sports, r. bound for one of those barn prize fights. They were not so jolly when the hack struck a swamp and almost sank out of sight. The horses were rescued with difficulty while the sports were a. sorry sight as they emerged from the swamp, covered with all kinds of dirt and mud. And they didn't see the fight either, for it was over when they got there after walking five miles or more.
 Pugilist Walter Burgo of Boston went to New Britain Monday night, to witness, Q boxing contest. Referee John Willis addressed the spectators from the ringside and called Burgo q -four fusher.' Burgo had been matched to fight under the. auspices of the club and refused to go on. He told Q Times reporter, this afternoon. that he is disgusted with the treat ment received from Connecticut sports. He packed his trunk, Wed nesday, and was making arrangements to go to Trenton, N.
