 Union City has the largest crowd Of fair rooters and they make themselves heard every time the City boys score. Thomas Welsh. the painter is sad ! der but wiser man this morning. and 1 is also convinced that all men are not l honest as the result of d horse trade | ill which he was q partner last Friday 1 night. A .Millville man named HuD- l fn- 1Sh nI hi 1o l would like to swap him horses. but I Welsh did not like the idea of swap l ping in the dark, but Hubbell finally l did the trick by telling Welsh that if | he did not like the horse he could bring. l it back and get his own back; but | when Welsh went to get his own l horse yesterday morning he was told l by Hubbell that he had swapped for i White. but that he CNelsh had better l leave the horse there until he found 1 out. and Welsh did so. but when he 1 came back he found that both horses l were gone and he had lost both. Welsh 1 certainly will keep the swapping busi- l ness out of his line for some time to come.
