satisfactory service indeed were the trolley
to come over the route projected-that west

appointed A. S. Clark, Harmon Dilks, Dr.

string that the trolley shall come in the
town where we can have an all-year service
instead Of simply a summer service which
it will be if it comes west of the town.

COAT BUTTER.
No Reason Why Animals. If Healthy, Should Not Be Utilixed in
 . Dairy.

Answering an inquiry in Hoard's Dairyman as to the value of goats milk for butter. Prof. Burlington says:
 T know of no reason why goats milk, If the goat is healthy and receives sound, wholesome food. is not as valuable for butter making as cows milk. and if the milk is well taken care of and has no bad odors you will probably never know the difference if some goats milk is added to the cows milk which comes to your fac tory. You can yourself judge as to the advisability of accepting the goats milk by inspecting it before you receive it. I certainly do not know. why it should injure the butter. neither do know of any law in this state that forbids the making of butter from goats milk. If the goats milk is richer and increases the test. the patron bringing the milk should get the credit for the increase. and I do not see why this should be an obiection."

WOlVeTlneS and stopped short Chicago started badly, losing most of their big games before showing much form. Toward the end of the season the Maroons picked up little, but went all to pieces in the final game against Illi- nois. Both Wisconsin and Northwest ern had off years, the latter all but disbanding at the beginning of the sea- son. The Purples one joy lay in talk Ing the two games played with Chica- go. Among the rest of the conference colleges. Indiana, Iowa and Purdue have average teams, while Minnesota had none at all. According to one critic the following men have shown up best in their various positions. and are named as the all-star western college baseball team: Sanger, of Michigan, was the best pitcher of the year, win ming nearly all his games. He has great speed and combines this excel lent quality with head work. Close at his heels comes Miller, of Chicago. and Opfergelt, of Illinois. First-class catchers have been scarce, but Leahy, of Wisconsin, seems to have the call on the rest, Harper, of Chicago, and Hatch, of Michigan, probably stand next in the order named. At the first sack Cutting, of Northwestern, is easi- ly the leader. His long experience at Michigan stood him in good stead. He fields his position we'll and is heavy hitter. For green man, Abbott of Chicago, has shown exceptional form. In another year he should develop into | top-notcher. For second base, Vein. berger, of Northwestern. seems to fill the bill. Not only is he a fielder of skill and judgment, but can also be called upon to line out safe hit in a pinch, which is an excellent quality in an infielder. Brooks, who played for Illinois the latter part of the season, has shown up we'll. For shortstop, Campbell, of Michigan, has no close rival. He is easily the best in the west In his position, and has also the quail ties of a captain. Wilkenson, North westerns little shortstop. has shown himself to be player of the first wa ter. his fielding being phenomenal at times. For third vandagrift, of Illi- nois is perhaps the best who has played the position this season, al- though Baird. of Chicago. who was put in the outfield this year. is the better of the two. o'Brien. of Michigan. also holds the third sack down like a vet eran. and is a hard hitter. In the out field there are a number of good men Paul and Baird. of Chicago: Rothgeb. of Illinois; Wendell, of Michigan. and Cummings. of Wisconsin. all frst-class players. The two Maroons are sure in their catching and are good hitters. Paul being probably the best in the latter line of the whole bunch. Wen dell. of Michigan. is q steady player. and although not a brilliant batter. has a knack of lining one out when most needed The Illinois captain Rothgeb. has not been sticking as well as formerly. but is a well when 1t comes to fielding,

FIGHT LAST NIGHT.

Bridgeport, July 3.-A prize flgllt was pulled off last evening in the eel lar of the late George F. Gilman's mansion at Black Rock. From q sporting view 1t was very success ful affair, and those who were present got their moneys worth. Apparently everybody on the streets knew of the fight except the police, and so there was no interference and no raids.
 The principles in the contest were Dave Brolley of this city and Jeff Do herty of>New Haven. "Shagg' Wheeler of Stratfod was referee. Jef Doherty weighed 40 pounds. and was nor in the pink of training. He is the cham pion 13O pound fighter in the state, and is a good man. Kid" Brolley only weighed 122 1-2. He looked like ban tam alongside of his antagonist. 1ie further, reminded one of the bantam rooster by his pluck and fighting tao tics.
 At the conclusion of the Sth round the fight was declared draw. which was a practical victory for Brolfey. Doherty protested against the deci- sion. as he claimed 1t on account or the punishment he gave the youngster. Referee Wheeler said that the nght must remain draw. as the big feliow had failed to knock out his opponent
