the great throng In Mechanics pavil-

promoters of the contest.
All who witnessed the one sided en-
counter agree that the champion is
in class by himself, and that no other
living pugilist is likely to dispute his
right to the title. Throughout the
round and As seconds that the fight
lasted Jeffries Showed gum and smil-
ed. He was perfectly calm and en-
tirely at his ease.
Munroe was pale, and evidently ner-
vous. Never for a moment did he
stand the slightest chance to win, but
he was game and determined to fight
to the end. Had not Referee Graney
interceded as .Jeffries was preparing
to land the decisive blow the bout
might have ended in tragedy.
Munroe finds consolation in the be-
lief that he went as far with Jeffries
as anyone could.
The champion anticipated a severe
battle, and expressed himself as sur
prised that his opponent made SO poor
a showing. While disappointed at the
brevity of the fight, which some paid

it was genuine battle for supremacy
and that the best man won.

LITTLE WHEAT FOR EXPORT.

Fear That Our Foreign Trade Bal.
ance Will Suffer.
New York.-The amount of wheat
that we shall export during the next u
months, in view Of the fact that 1t is
conceded we can spare very little, is
being wildly discussed, and some fears
are entertained for our foreign trade
balance. One authority estimated that
on the basis of average Of the last
three years we will consume 34,0O0,-
900 bushels of wheat in this country
during the present fiscal year, of which
nearly two months has elapsed, and
that If we need 100000 bushels for
seed, 1t will make total home con-
sumption of 510.000,O00 bushels, leav.
ing only 20,000,000 exportable surplus
in a crop of $50 900 900 bushels. If the
crop turns out 100000 bushels larger
we shall then have 100000 bushels
for export. Allowing that stocks on
hand at the beginning Of this fiscal
year were 100000 bushels, this
would permit of shipment of 92.000,000
bushels, according to the estimate CIV
en-, or 132,000,0 900 bushels, in case the
crop is 57O,OOO,OOO bushels.
Exports for July were $4,000
bushels, against 9,560,000 for the same
month of last year. The value of our
wheat exports last year was $3S,S00,-
900, against sS7700.000 the previous
year and s112,s00,000 in 1902, -four ex-
ports being respectively 6S,s0000O,
373, 10000 and $65600,000 for the
three years mentioned. 1t is generally
assumed that unless European crops
are very short people of those coun-
tries will buy little wheat from us
above 81 bushel. 1t is not expected
that much corn will be exported, eth
err, at current prices. A material de,
cline in corn is predicted a little later
perhaps next month"; this cereal
turns ont well.

promise to be far ahead Of any ex-

bred and Morgan classes will be well

is good prospects of an exception

attractive. Everything at the grounds

from Bethel. The first runs from
Bethel to Barnard by the old stage
road and on Mount Hunger to Bar
nard postoffice, thence back to
Bethel village by the hill road. Ihe
route is twenty-five and one-eighth
miles long and will serve one hum
dred and three families.
The second route starts from Gays
vile postoffice, thence to Cobb
bridge, Stockbridge Common, Wy
mans Corner, Goddard saw mill,
thence to Gaysville postoffice via
Stony brook, covering twenty.one

Ice In India,

DR.. Wells, London physician, In
1918, in his published essay on dew,
was the first to draw attention to the
curious artificial production Of Ice in
India. Shallow pits are dug, which
are partially filed with perfectly dry
straw. On the straw broad, fat pans
containing water are exposed to the
clear sky. The water, being power
full radiant, sends Off its heat abun-
dainty into space.
The heat thus lost cannot be re-
placed from the earth, for this source
Is excluded by the straw. Before sun
rise cake Of ice is formed in each
vessel. To produce this Ice in guam
titles clear nights are advantageous,
and particularly those on which prac-
tically no dew falls. Should the straw
get wet 1t becomes more matted and
compact and consequently a better
conductor Of heat, for the vapor then
acts MS screen over the pans, checks
the cold and retards freezing.

SPEEDY SHERBURNE
First Town TO Report Official Re-
turns to County Clerk.

Sherburne, that secluded little
mountain hamlet which occasioned
so much soul-harrowing anxiety
among newspaper men last week
through inability to get the result of
the vote on the day OF election, has
made laudable record for itself in
the matter of reporting official re-
turns and stands proudly at the
head Of the Rutland county list in
respect to the senatorial vote report
ed to the county clerk, says the Rut-
land Herald. The law gives the
towns Of Vermont 10 days after cleo
ton in which to return to the county
clerks the result Of the ballot on the
senatorial ticket.
Constable John E. Davis was the
one voter in the village whose face
did not wear an expression of re-
lieved contentment last Tuesday
evening, and while the stars were
still bright the following morning
and his neighbors were still abed
and setting their dreams of a farmer
governor to the accompaniment Of
the cowbells on the hill, the consta-
BILE arose and by the light of his
lantern harnessed up his brown
mare. AS the pale light of dawn
flushed the eastern sky, the consta-
BILE drove out Of Sherburne village
toward the west.
County Clerk II. A. Hartman had
hardly got his Office unlocked and
settled to business when in walked
the Sherburne official and with re-
lieved sigh deposited the senatorial
vote Of that town on the clerks
desk. "There," he calculated, "that's
done for two years more," and turn
ing he left the Office and climbing
back into his buggy turned the mare
toward Sherburne.
