TIE BOARD OF TRADE.

N)w wnat brought this all about?
We are rot here to claim all Of this for
tie Board of Trade, but only to do JUS
tice to & large body of influential clti e
zens who joined together in an organi-
zation to push for Marietta who laid
aside selfish considerations to devise
ways and means, that the whole body
of citizens might be benefited and
have larger business prospects and bet
ter opportunities for making money.
They were very much like other men,
liable to fail and to be deceived. They
made mistakes, but on the whole have
succeeded so far beyond their expectG-
tions, that the few mistakes they have
made are lost sight of. We are not
writing this to praise persons, but are
pointing out the value of organization,
of level headed men, coupled with en-
thusiasm in building up town and if
we could, we would leave out every
name connected with the Board of
Trade since 1887 and only give the ac-
complished facts.

for making money in distant States
where there were better prospects of
large returns, so that Marietta was like
the man spoken of in Holy writ "To
him that hath shall be given. but from
him that hath not shall be taken ever
that which he hath" 1t might be not
ed, in passing, however, that much of
the money earned in Marietta and talk
en- away to be invested in distant local,
tiles in the west, was subsequently, lost
by the collapse of boom towns" and
general cussedness of unprincipleG
agents and promoters. Whereas, if thc
same money had been invested in real
estate in Marietta any time for twenty
years prior to 1887 it would now bo
quadrupled in value.
CHANGE FROM TWENTY YEARS
OF SLEEP.
During the period of the above twen-
ty years it was the common habit of
the citizens of Marietta. whether at
homo or abroad, to berate the city as a
dull old town, n college town-dead in
Rip Van Winkle sleep, ETC. Now, in
the year of 1901, every one speaks well
OF the city. Strangers and citizens
alike join in their praise of the best
city in Southern Ohio-a live town
splendidly located-Got a move on her
Good place to live in-Up-to-date.

etc, so that every citizen may be proud
Of the city of Marietta, not a boom
town but blessed with a steady growth
since about the year 1887, and having
a population of 13,34S, six wards, three
banks sud numerous building asso1i-
aticns.

ORGANIZATION.

Such, then, was the situation in May,
1887 when some public spirited cit-
zens, feeling the necessity of making
an effort to do something for the city,
met and proposed the organization of
the Board of Trade. On May 12, 1887
they met at the Court House and orga-
nized by electing the following officers:
President, J. H. Grafton; Vice Presi-
dent, Colonel T. w. Moore.
The Board of Directors met on May
18th, 1887, and elected B. f. Strecker
Secretary, and R. 7. Moore, Treasurer,
and appointed the following standing
committees:

At the same meeting on motion of
Col T. w. Moore the President and
Secretary were directed to present pc
tition to the County Commissioners for
a general improvement of the county
roads, extending to all leading thor
oughfares. At the very next meeting
proposition was received from man
ufacturing industry seeking location.
1t was the Silver Plate Company of
Madison Ind, which never material
lied and the Board at once began its
legitimate work of enquiring into the
standing of and propositions from in
dustrial enterprises seeking locations.
PUNCTURING BUBBLES.
This work turned out in the long run
to be the work of puncturing bubbles
and prodding wind bags with sharp
stick. They were not all bubbles how
ever.

MAY MATCH ROOT
WITH GARDNER
Lowell Boxer Is Highly
Thought Of by Ring
Patrons.
Few Middleweights Are Ex-
pected to Want His
Game.

Boxers George Gardner and Kid Carter
were about town yesterday apparently
little the worse for their meeting the
night before in Mechanics Pavilion.
Gardner bore no sign of the encounter,
while Carter's face will soon regain it's
normal size. The former went to the
races yesterday and was the subject Of
congratulatton on all sides.
If the San Francisco Athletic Club can
secure a license next month an effort will
be made to bring Gardner and Jack Root
Of Chicago together. The Lowell boxer, in
his present form, seems invincible.
The total receipts on Friday night were
$500. OF this Gardner received $1603 and
Carter $3.50. The Twentieth Century Ath-
letic Club officials received $1,000 as their
share of the receipts. This was in ac-
cordance with an agreement entered into
when negotiations were pending for the
Jeffries- Rubin fight. At that time the
representatives Of the two clubs agreed
not to bid against one another.
The Twentieth Century people were to
be the sole bidders for the fight and the
San Francisco Club people were to share
in the profits. In return they agreed to
promote second heavyweight contest in
December and the Twentieth Century peo-
pie were to share their profits. The JEFF
fries-Ruhlin fiasco upset these plans, as
IL was seen tne puDHc WOulu NOT patron
ize the proposed Jeffries-Sharkey fight.
Pressure was brought to bear on Alex
Greggains, but he stood on the side of
the people and insisted on a good fight
being provided. He carried the day and
the meeting of Gardner and Carter was
the result.
The San Francisco Clubs share Of the
Jeffries- Rubin gate money was $500. The
club has made profit on the years
fights and will apparently be the biggest
factor in the game in this city next year.

Track Notes.

Patsy Freeman and wife were interested
spectators at the track yesterday. Patsy
put in a remunerative season riding on
the French tracks and will probably cross
the water again next year.
James Train, the young and hustling
secretary Of the Buffalo Driving Park,
who is here on a business trip, viewed the
sport from the ground.
Tommy Burns is riding some fine races,
but as yet has failed to get aboard a
mount good enough to win.
Charley Ellison is still on the sick list
and is greatly missed in the ring.
A special that would bring Cruzados,
Old England and Josie G together ought
to prove big drawing card.
The entries and weights for the rich
$4,000 Christmas handicap of mile and a
quarter are as follows:

In the sixth inning Van Haltren showed
he still retained his throwing arm, putting
out Shay at the plate from deep center

who had to retire from the field to effect
temporary repairs to his knickerbockers,
which were damaged in a long-distance
slide to second. This was the nearest the
home team was to scoring.
In the fifth inning Whalen was called
out at first on a double play. The specta-

YOUNG HORSES
FOR SALES RING
Royalty Bred Trotters
to Represent Aptos
Stock Farm.
Wonderful Success Of the
Products of This Estab-
lishment.

The representatives Of the Abtos
Stock farm are already preparing the
trotting horses bred at this noted
Santa Cruz County establishment for
the Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland in
May. Twenty-Five head of royalty bred
youngsters will be taken In hand within
the next few weeks and given such work
as will transform them into trotters for
the Grand Circuit or the Park speedway.
A B. Spreckels has the breeding and
development of the Aptos horses under
his personal direction and the results he
has obtained show how successful he has
been both in theory and practice. He
shares with c. ]. Hamlin the honor
of having bred two mares with rec
ords better than 2:10. No other man
holds such a record. Mr.. Spreckels bred
at Aptos the mares Dione, 2:O74, and
HuIda, 2:OS15 Mr.. Hamlin bred Fantasy,
2:O6 and Nightingale, 2:oS.
At Aptos Farm are three trottirg
bred stallions-Dexter Prince, Cupid
and Aptos Wilkes. 1t Is their pro-
geny which will be sold in May.
Dexter Prince Is the sire Of Eleata, 2:0S%t,
winner Of the classic IN and M stake
this year and winner Of most money on
the Grand Circuit.
Cupid is the sire Of Venus II, PIN;
Psyche, 2:1675, and Lottie Parks, 2:16A.
These three are the only ones Of his
progeny to face a starter
Aptos Wilkes is not represented In fhe
list Of producing sires, but so many Nof
his get have sold for large figures, to be
used as park horses, that his reputation
is more than local.
Mr.. Spreckels has bred horses for
the pleasure it affords and not for the
profit to be obtained. His youngsters,
whether runners or trotters, have all been
we'll nourished and we'll raised. His last
consignment Of thoroughbred yearlings,
sold in New York, seemed as big as two
year-olds and were pronounced in better
condition than those Of any consignment
sold during the past year. The trotters
will have the same care and they should
all be perfect representatives of the
American light harness horse.

Passed Worthless Checks.

Thomas Butler, 1924 Hayes street, pro-
prietor Of the Baden brickyards, secured
a warrant from Judge Mogan yesterday
for the arrest of Frederick H Figel on
a charge of obtaining money by false pra-
lenses He alleges that on December 2e
1900, Figel got check for $75 from him
on the statement that he had the amount
on deposit in the Citizens Bank of Santa
Clara County, which was untrue. Butler
also stated that Figel had purchased the
fruit crop on his ranch last year and had
given him drafts for $500 on the Same
bank which, he alleges, were not hon
ored.

Insurance Company Sued.

The Progreso Steamship Company med
a suit yesterday against the Canton In
surance Office for $1535 IS. The steamship
company people claim the sum sued for
is due them from an insurance policy for
$500 issued by the insurance company on
their steamer South Portland, which was
hooded and sunk to prevent its destruc-
ton by fire on February s, 1901. It cost
$27 ,645 36 to repair the vessel after it had
been raised, and the amount sued for, 1t
is claimed, is the insurance company's
share of the expense.

Tz HERE were two or three special
features that served to attract
a large and fashionable attend
ance to Oakland track yesterday
The match race between Old
England and San Nicholas apparently
touched a popular chord, and then too
the sensational Cruzados was to start in
the Junior stake for two-year-olds.
Lucky Baldwin, the silver haired
maistre of Santa Anita ranch had jour
neyed all the way from Southern Califor
mia to see his greatly talked about colt
run, and it is likely the local public has
seen the last of Cruzados for some time.
Before the race his owner said that If
Emperor of Norfolks son proved success
full he would not be started again here,
but would be retired temporarily and
specially prepared for the Derby Of 1872
at Chicago. Meeting only an ordinary
field in the stake, which was over seven
furlongs, it looked just a question as to
whether he could go route or not. The
ring took a chance, and coupled with his
stable mate Escalante, as good as 4 to
could be obtained about the Baldwin pair.
Under the conditions Cruzados had TO
carry 121 pounds. At the start he went
away in the lead with Ransom, stepping
off the first half in 471a seconds, the three
quarters in 1:13% and finished the distance
practically eased UP nearly three lengths
before Botany in 1:26 fiat. Escalante, not
such a poor piece of racing hardware
himself, grew dizzy chasing the winner,
ending up among the tail enders The
gross value of the stake was $500, of
which amount $1,000 went to the first
horse. Botany, piloted by Mounce and
Is to 1 in the ring, ran remarkably good
race and gives promise of becoming
clever three-year-old.
No fault could be found with the ell
matte conditions. The weather was warm
and pleasant and the track lightning fast.
Still, only two favorites managed to take
purses.
In the match race Old England settled
