TEDDIE KS HARD LUCK.

Teddie K. owned by T.. j. Kel-
liner, experienced considerable hard
luck on Friday at the Waterbury
fair. He was given second position
and led the quarter at 49, He struck
a hole in some way and became
tangled In the hobbies and turned
completely over cutting deep cash to
the bone from the knee to the hobble.
This prevented further racing much
to the disappointment of the crowd,
as considerable interest was anticipat-
ed in the race Of Teddie X, and Phil
s.. owned by T. E. Price Last year
Teddie K, beat out Phil S. Will
liam Page of Barre, who was driving

WATERBURY FAIR.

Waterbury, Sept. 9-The weather
doubtless is largely responsible for the
fact that the fair here is not what it
has been in former years. The ex-
hibits are few, very little fruit and
vegetables being on display. There
is fine exhibit of poultry most of
which is from the Strong place. Man
chester, N. H The exhibit is to be
taken around to the various fairs in
the State
The races were good, the special
features being the fact that here we're

eighteen years, and the other ninety

first race-three straight heats-and
the man won second in the free for

Waterbury, Sept 10.-On account
of cloudy weather only small crowd
attended the last day of the Waterbury
fair yesterday. The base ball game
between Morrisville and Richmond
was hotly contested and resulted in a
victory for the latter by score of 8
to O. The battery work Of both teams
was good. Richmond won through
better batting and fielding.
Fraser of Richmond received much
better support than Rublee. Morris
Vile was weak at the bat and only
made three hits. Richmond made five
hits and was aided by errors.
The races were the best and the
2 :32 class had to be discontinued be-
cause of darkness after three horses
had each won two heats.

TAGGART',S REASON.

New York, Sept. 8. -Chairman Tag
CART of the Democratic national COM
mittee says, concerning the election
returns from Vermont, that the result
is not surprising in view of the I'M
paralleled efforts made by the Repub-
blicaus, and the quiet campaign con-
Quoted by the Democrats He men,
tions the fact that the Republicans
brought into the State as speakers, the
candidate for the vice presidency,
speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, secretary of war, Senators of the
United States and presentatives of
the House, assisted by host of lesser
lights. He further says: In view of
these efforts, never made before by
any party in September election. it
is remarkable that the administra-
ton did not succeed in increasing the
Republican majority. Indeed, it did
not even increase the Republican vote
That does not exceed 4S,050. while

1t is evidently easy for Mr.. Taggart
to forget the visit of Bourke Cochran,
the Democracy great orator, to the
State, also the distribution, broadcast,
through the Republican papers of the
State, of much literature setting forth
the Democratic arguments. Not since
1880 has the Democracy made SO
strong an effort to cut down the Re-
publican majority. for the effect the
reduction would have on Democratic
prospects in the country at large.
Moreover, when the figures of the
vote on Tuesday are compared with
those of the September election in
1900. it is shown that the Democratic
vote has fallen off materially and the
Republican vote has unexpectedly in
creased. Chairman Taggart is the
Mark Tapley of a very depressing
Democratic situation.

The following bit OF political news
from yesterdays Atlanta Constitution
will be Of interest here in Brunswick
where Judge Sweat has many friends:
Judge J. l.. Sweat is here from Way
cross in attendance upon the supreme
court. He is mentioned as a candi-
date for one of the delegates from the
state at large to the next national
democratic convention. The judge
has always been an organized dem
ocrat and has supported every candi'
date from Seymour to Bryan.
AS delegate from the old first Geor.
gia district Judge Sweat aided in
first nomination at Chica-
go. While he did not approve the free
silver plank in the platform Of 1895
and 1900 he nevertheless supported
the candidate. He does not believe
that either the Cleveland Of Bryan
wings Of tn party should control the
next convention, and is not In favor
of reaffirming the last platform, but
thinks platform covering the living
vital issues of the day, including op--
position to high protective tariff as
the mother OF trusts and favoring a
wise, constitutional and economic ad.
mintraton Of the government should
be adopted, and that some suchsafe,
strong, conservative candidate as
Judge Alton B. Parker OF New York
upon whom all factions Of the party
could unite and who would have the
confidence and receive the support Of
the great business element Of the coun
trv, ought to be nominated.

What War costs.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE Parisian press
attributes the first success at PoH
Arthur to their knowledge Of the sin.
uosities Of the coasts and the forma.
tion Of the entrances to the harbors,
which enabled them to escape
all accidents. The cost OF the
bombarding Of Port Arthur, lasting
two hours, is estimated at s650,000
each shell of he8yy calibre costing, ac-
cording to French artillery experts,
5000. To this must be added the
cost Of coal consumed.
