the world remained upon to all corners, but it was not until 1901 that the trophy left the hands of the first winners and passed beyond our borders.
 In that year the glove thrown down by the American rifemen was covered by the Canadians, whose champions proceeded to. Sea Girt, N. J.. on September 5, and won an exciting match by 29 points, the winning: team scoring 1,522, and the trophy defenders ], 1,493.
 As one of the conditions under which the trophy is competed for rem ders it obligatory for the following years competition to be shot in the country of the holders, in 1902 the challengers, British team, under Mai. the Hon. T. F. Freemantle, and an American team, under Brig. Gen. Bird Spencer, proceeded to Ottawa, and, on September 13 brought off finely con- tested competition under not altogether ideal meteorological conditions.
 On that occasion the British team won, and the trophy was carried to England. But the English Tommy was permitted to view the result of his prowessfor but one year, for the Amer ican, team, explained by Col. Leslie C. Bruce, of the old guard of Boston, crossed the water this year, and have brought the trophy to America again.
 With respect to the trophy itself, which is fashioned "after the style of the battle flags of the Roman Legions, ,'' at the suggestion of Gen. Martin Mc4 Mahon, chairman of the trophy com mittee in 1876, it is perhaps more re- markable than beautiful. Standing seven feet six inches in height, this unique banner is composed of gold, silver. copper, steel and iron. The eagle-that is neither Roman nor American, but combination of both is one foot high, and is composed of burnished copper, while the bar upon which it perches is of solid iron, cop. per edged, the word Palma" (almost. obliterated by silver wreath) being written in raised silver letters. The banner, apart from the fringe, which is of gold, the inscription, which is of sil-' yer, and the gold tracery, is made of solid iron, as, indeed, is the staff. which, however, boats copper f1lets. - . ..i 5e, ,'s MAX OWEN.

Peter Paul's Union City. Team Given
 Sound Drubbing.
 For some time Peter Paul, the well known Union City and Naugatucz fruit dealer and manager of the Union has been asking for, a game with the east side business men of this borough. The latter held back from arranging a game; in fact the laughed in the good natured Peters face at such a proposition. But finally. Peters glow ing words of praise for his team and long list of victories made the east siders clinch articles of agreement with the fruit man and game was ar ranged for yesterday afternoon. The public impatiently waited for the game and Peter brought his sturdy players down in a bus and had them driven over all the principal streets to show people what a proposition the east sisfers were up against But to-day great change has come over the Union City team They never saw a base ball. never had a team, it's all joke, etc, but the small boy says that after the game Luskey's bus went up North Main street like a streak of red ire. and. didn't stop until it had reached the barn in Union City where the busi- ness men's team came out from under the seats and under cover of the dark ness went to their homes. The east siders knew they had cinch, but did not think the Union City players were so dead easy, but when the final score was reckoned up it was as follows: X East Side Business Men ......... .35 Union City Business Men ......... 5
 But the genial Peter isn't finished yet, a half dozen games must be play ed yet he says. t

in different horticultural societies in

Another Apple Tree Story.
DEBORAH, Iowa.


Mr.. Editor
This being the time for agricultural
and horticultural meetings I wish to
offer through your columns an apology
to Mr.. Rents, of Cresco. He and 1
have had many warm but friendly
battles on raising apples in this lati-
tude but have toned down some, re-
alizing the old proverb that "Wise
men change their minds but fools
never" and some other reasons. The
climatic changes have been great
since 30 or 40 years ago. We never see
the thermometer at 40 below zero as
was common occurrence then. Many
products that were considered away
from home then are at home now. Mr..
Bents having had large experience
and being a gentleman of honor and
truth, / for one advise others
to take his practical judgment as to
what kind of fruit can be raised in
this latitude with both pleasure and
profit.
