yer, the general counsel Of the Great Nor

Dodge, recently, said: "He is one of the
most resourceful and successful attorneys,
indeed, one of the very best sll-around
lawyers OF my acquaintance. He is not
only the very best of trial lawyers, but
also excels in briefng and in other work
necessary in the appellate courts. l do not
Know lawyer whose record Will show
such large proportion of cases finally
won out of cases tried as Colonel Dodge.''
The Manchester Union of recent date
contained the following article on the
Sautelle circus:
"Few circus aerialists, no matter how
daring, work without minimizing their
danger by the erection Of safety net di-
rectly under them and ten or dozen feet
above the ground. More fearless and
death defying than all others, the aerial
performers with the great Sig. Ssutelle

depending entirely UPON their quick eye
and hrm wrist. There are more amazing,

above the heads of the fear gasping specta-

Inc members OF one troupe particularly
appear to be without nerves or
fear. They pass and repass from
bar to bar, from ring to ring, and subse-
quently from bar to landing place with
cleverness, certainty and precision, show
ing the loftiest possible training coupled
with the most fearfully astonishing skill
and judgment. They fly through space,
their DO lies revolving like swiftly moving
balls, toss and catch each other with as
much uucoDcern as the average person
exhibits when sitting down to an un-

likewise post graduates of their profess

The Barton team on Friday met the
strong North Hatley nine on the ground
of the latter players, WOO on the previous
Wednesday won from Newport by score
of eleven to four. The ground was good,
the weather fine, and the conditions were
favorao ole for fast playing. In the first four
innings, owing to timely hits and unfortu-
nate errors, Barton obtained a commanding
lead which was maintained throughout the
game. The North Hatley team, although
fast fielding nine, played in hard luck,
while Barton played its best game of the
season, the necessity of which is shown by
the fact that North Hatley is said to have
lost only one game on its home grounds in
the last four years. The fielding of the
Bartons was particularly good, the star play
of the game being B. Webster's fine
running catch of low fly driven over
second baseman's head. R. Webster,
Guild and Dutton also did good work.
One noticeable feature of the game was the
fact that every member of the Barton teem N
connected with the ball, no one striking
out. Jenness pitched brilliant game and
was ably caught by Suitor, who threw to
bases in great form. For North Hatley,
w. Bergland caught everything that came
his way, robbing Guild of seemingly sure
two base hit; Colston accepted eleven out
OF thirteen chances, Bond made two good
catches in center and L. Bergland covered
first base very creditably. The best hitting
was contributed by Dobie and L. Bergland.
The Barton team has only words of praise
for treatment from the people of the town
and the management and it is hoped that
like courtesy may be extended to them
when the return game is played here Aug.
