of the piece is that the fool and his
money gather no moss. 1t will cost

Trial Trips Under Ideal Conditions
 Gave Satisfactory Results.
 BRISTOL, R. Iy April 27.-The yacht Reliance was taken out for another spin lasting two hours yesterday after noon, and on the whole she proved, as she did Saturday, stiff and powerful craft. She was very fast in beating and reaching.
 The trial spin was under weather conditions that were almost ideal for test of spars and canvas. The Re liance has been tried in Narragansett bay and at sea and has not been found wanting. She proved herself worthy and successful representative of her designer and builder, Captain Nat Her reshoff. According to the judgment of those who saw the trial and are com petent to gauge the abilities of modern racing craft, the Reliance is fast and well balanced yacht, and she will, they say, undoubtedly prove a dangerous opponent to the Constitution and the l Columbia.
 | For the first time in the history of initial trial spins for ninety foot yachts an opportunity was afforded to sail in light and in a strong breeze, in smooth water and in rough, in wind ward work, in reaching and in running dead before the wind with spinnaker set. The Reliance proved to be very fast undee %all these conditions, but notably so when reaching and running.
 The ability of the Reliance to point" " or lie close to the wind, was also clear ly demonstrated when beating out in a fresh breeze through the narrow chan nel from Fort Adams, in Newport har- bor, to the lightship off Brenton's reef. She not only went about quickly, aver aging seventeen seconds from full to full,'' but held her headway, and. even | with her new sails she seemed to lie as close to the wind as either the Colum- bia or Constitution would have done under like conditions.

by doing almost as well as the Denver ite. Despite the rushing of the cham pion, Memsic was always in the center of the ring. While some of Memsic's swings were wild, he managed to reach Corbett's face quite frequently. The house was in an uproar when the bat tie ended, and Referee Jack Grant called it a draw. Referee Grant said that he could not have given any other decision, as Memsic was as good as Cor bett at the end of four rounds.
 George Considince, who attended the fight between Kid Mccoy and Jack Root at Detroit last Wednesday night, returned yesterday still convinced that the Hoosier is the better man. Considine declares that Mccoy was palpably fouled in the second round, when he was on 8 fair road to victory. Master son would not allow the claim, how ever, and thereafter Mccoy was not able to fight his real battle. "I am so certain that Mccoy --s fouled,' said Considine last night, ''that I stand ready to back him against Root in an- other fight for $5 1000. He was plainly fouled and suffered so much that I pleaded with him to let me throw up the sponge. But he persisted, hoping against hope that the effects of the low punch would pass away"
 George Dixon is now on the down slide again, having lost another match in England. The former featherweight champion met Spike Robinson of Lon don at Ginnell's circus, Newcastle-on- the Tyne, recently, and lost the decis- ion after fifteen rounds had been fought. They met for purse of $250 and a division of the gate receipts. Dixon from the start fought in poor form and it was evident that he had been lax in his training, On the other hand, Robinson was in the best of shape. Dixon did not forget his clever ness and this alone prevented him from being put to sleep. Robinson's best punch was left hook. It landed often and shook the negro up. However, Dixon kept in close and in this way avoided the full impact of the blow.
 According to George Considine, Young Corbett's next battle of impor- tance will be with Benny Yanger in Detroit in June. Considine's brother is the matchmaker of the Metropolitan A. O., where Jack Root and Kid Mccoy fought, the other night. The fact that there was no opposition to that fight leads George Considine, as we'll as his brother, to believe that there will be no trouble in bringing Yanger and Cor bett together. Considine says Corbett | already has consented to fight Yanger there and all that is required now to
 make the battle a fixture is for Yanger to agree. This, it is thought, he will do, as he is anxious to fight the cham pion. Corbett is due in the east in about two weeks. When he arrives he may make another match. Consi- dine says his offer to pit Corbett against Terry McGoveTn again for $1O.- 900 side, provided Terry will agree to wager that sum, still holds good.

GREATER WATERBURY LEAGUE.
Opening of the Second Amateur League
 of Base Ball Teams Yesterday.


 The Greater Waterbury Amateur league of base ball teams opened the season yesterday on the various base ball parks in the outskirts of the city and large numbers of people were in attendance. Everything passed off smoothly with the exception of the lit tie unpleasantness which took place at the Riverside park and this was all oc- casioned by some young lads, who were perhaps a little over enthusiastic, cir cumstances which are liable to occur even with police officers in every part of the field. Last season all the leagues in the city went through the season and there were no complaints and but very little disturbance. In fact, each league made a strong rule to prevent all trouble and the same rule is in force this season, and there is no doubt but that there will be no further trouble if the games are allowed to go on. It is really the only recreation the boys have and many of the pastors last season were strong advocates for Sunday base ball provided it was conducted in be- coming manner. The games yesterday were won as follows:
 At Waterville.
 The Moonlights and the Big Sevens were to have played on the Waterville field, but the Big Sevens appeared without their pitcher and were unwill- ing to play. The Moonlights insisted, as was their right, and they went onto the field ito begin the game. One ball was tossed over the plate and Umpire Dan Buckley gave the game to the Moonlights by the score of 9 to o.
 At Riverside Park.
 The Lafayettes and the Sunshines appeared for the first game on the above park. The former team was in excellent form and the Sunshines were foEsad to go down to defeat. Both pitchers did good work, but Barker had the greatest number of strike-outs. The score: -

 Batteries-Tiernan and Dwyer: Bar ker and McNe1lis. ...

 Tn the morning the Second Wards and the South Ends faced each other, and it was a batting game on both sides Errors were also plentiful and the score resulted as follows:

 Another game was played in the morning at this park between the Mer- rimacs and the Fifth Wards. The Mer- rimacs did some great batting in this game and the Fifth Wards tried out several pitchers. The final score was as follows:t

A big crowd was present in Water vile yesterday to see practice game between the St Josephs and the Merri- l macs.

At present the twirler is doing duty with an independent team in Hoboken. N. J., and a few days ago he tOyed with the batters of the New York National league team.
 
 Harrington says he has offered Lin deman a salary as high as is given any man in the league and expects to get his signed contract in a few days.
 A youngster named Dunphy from Easthampton is getting a trial as pitcher, and the Holyoke manager considers him by the work he has shown thus far good enough for a place on the team.
 Several of the young men now in practice will be turned loose this week when the old players begin to put in an appearance, and only such as show baseball ability are to be retained
 Manager Harrington expects to play a team from Waterbury. this week in Holyoke, and will also play benefit game for Paul Steinberg as soon as the diamond is ready for baseball The Waterbury team is known as the Strikers. and is composed of some strong players.

its explanations are as lame hs the
explanations of the protectionlbts usu-
ally are. The price OF wheat Hs fixed
abroad Whether the farmer sells to
the miller in his home state /or to the
miller in Europe he gets the foreign
price less carriage and commissions.
The Republicans try to show that a
tariff on wheat raises the price of the
farmers wheat, and then they try to
show the farmer that tariff lowers
the price OF manufactured products.
They make the same argument in re-
gard to wool. They do not put the ar
guments side by side, but in the course
OF the same speech they will assert
that q tariff on wool raises the price
of wool and that ,tariff on the goods
made out of the same wool lowers the
price OF the goods. They make these
contradictory arguments not because
there is any truth in them. but be-
cause they have to deceive the farmer.
The manufacturers understand the ne
cessfty for such arguments and over
look them, but Republican farmers are
