Yesterday afternoon there was large
soncourse OF people out 10 see the racing
on Mashapaug pono All the fast ones
were there. The brushes, however, were
few. owing partly TO an indispositon on
tie part OF the horsemen and partly from
the eagerness OF the crowd, which crowd
ed upon the course.
Another bad feature OF yesterday 3
sport was the assortment OF cat calls
and ''whoop-ls OF crowd or boys ana
young men standing almost Al the finish
line, WHO could nnd no better way of get
ting rid of their stored-up enthusiasm. In
several instances horses coming down this
ST. Ctch neck-ano-l eek. went up In the
air as result OF these shrill cries.
Despite handicaps. however. there were
several brushes which were interesting.
One was that between Tobias Burke ;
Don Carr apd Black Regent. owned by NJ.

looked like a very close race. Both horses
were moving well. with Don Carr slightly
I'm the lead Al the finish, however, Don
Carr pushed ahead and won by two or
three sleigh lengths. Later in the after
noon they tried conclusions again, Don
Carr winning quito easily.

Continued Good Times.

That the good times continue, which
were begun with the first election of
William Mckinley nearly a decade ago,
is abundantly indicated by the semi
annual review of the industrial con-
ditions issued by r. G. Dun & Co.
This reveiew shows that commercial
failures i'm the United States during
the first half of 1905 were 6210 in num-
ber, in comparison with 6214 in the cor
responding six months last year. The
decrease in the number of failures is
insignificant, but more important
than the number of failures is the
amount of defaulted indebtness. The
was $50 9G4, ,5S5 for the six months just
ended, against s19 49O, 9O9 for the cor
responding six months in 1904. These
sums seem large, to be sure, but they
are very much smaller than the re-
years ago, Notwithstanding the vastly
increasing amount of business now be-
ing transacted throughout the country.
In only two half years since 1894 have
there been fewer failures than during
the six months just ended. These two
were the years of 1899 and 1903. and in
only one half year has the amount of
defaulted indebtness been smaller than
during the half year just ended, that
IN, ho fire J, of
Here in New England the failures for
the six months just ended We're
1856 against 196 for the first half of 1904.
The liabilities We're $G249.132 against
$12 ,5.0611 for the corresponding period
last year. In Maine, the failures have
been 81 for the half year just ended
against 81 in the first half Of 1904, with
liabilities of S510,010, this year, against
s9aS, ,S1o last year. That the CONNER
cial death rate is so low at present, in
spite Of the greater amount of business
being done year by year, is a most
substantial and gratifying evidence
that the Republican pledges of national
prosperity made in the campaigns of
1896 and 1900 are being fulfilled to the
letter.

After the excitement and the glamor
