Experiment Farm.

ntng an Experiment Farm
For the Government.

The northwestern part of the
state is destined to benefit i'm
measurably through the efforts
of w. D. Gillepsie of Ray, Will
liams county, who is running a
small experiment farm about
five miles northeast of that place.
The U. s. department of agri-
culture is cooperating with Mr..
Gillespie and also the North
Dakota experiment station at
Fargo. Mr.. Gillespie last year
secured quantity of durum
wheat seed from the government,
a good variety of macaroni, and
last season raised enough grain
to seed a large patch this year.
Last year was a dry one in the
northwestern part of the state
in Williams county, but the
grain sowed by Mr.. Gillespie on
his experiment farm developed
nicely. Mr.. Gillespie last
spring received a great variety
of seeds from Ireland and is
experimenting with them also.
At present they appear to be
dong very nicely, though the
plants will probably have to be-
come acclimated. List week

about 100 acres. He has also

partment of agriculture with

Next year Mr.. Gillespie expects
the cooperation of the govern
ment on a larger scale and may
do some experiment work il
farming on irrigated land along
the Missouri.

A Good Game
Up vatlI the Last Half Of the
Seventh hing Aud Thsn..7

The game with Hannaford
which was to have taken place at
the Fair Grounds last Friday,
was pulled off Monday at 1920,
rather early for some of the fans
but as part of the team were
going to jamestown to partici-
pate in the tournament, it had
to be then or no game.
After the usual warming up
Cooperstown took the field with
Hannaford at the bat. In the
first ming two hits were made
and couple of wild throws from
second to first and from pitcher
to third allowing Hannaford to
score. Then Hannaford took
the field with the much footed
Christianson-from Iowa-in
the box A. Melgard famed,
Stevens out at first Grangard
walked and Dretcho's 9 Dagger
netted one run. From then on
it was a pretty game until the
third lining when Stevens was
caught asleep at the initial sack
and Lesser stole home. There
were numerous good plays as
we'll as bad ones on both sides
but on the whole is was q good
clean game and greatly enjoyed
by the rooters present. With
the score of 5 to 8 in our boys
favor Hannaford seemed to find
Dretcho hard enough in the
seventh to get going and with
the help of an error they brought
in three score which was hailed
with delight by the Hannaford-
ties. This lead they held until
the end. of the game the locals
only knocking out pop ups
which were easily taken in by
Hannaford. Walt Nelson who
umpired the game seemed te
give good satisfaction which. is
going some as an umpire always
has his hands fulr at Il ball gains
A little more practice, and a few
changes on the team would help
considerably and we hear that il
is going to be done in order tt

two games during the tourna
ment. Here's luck boys.

FROM THE MUSICAL COURIER FIX
 IRA, MAY I4, 1904.

I wish to call attention to the latest product of the Story < Clark Piano Company-a new scale upright piano, which has some amazing features so far as the volume of tone Is concerned, and which contains possibilities that are rarely attributed to the modern upright piano.
 I have devoted a great deal of atten- tion to the development of these instru- ments in past years, and, having made a special study of them, may modestly claim that have reached point where a comparative test enables me to place the relative positions of these instru ments, not only in their particular lines but in their positive standing as com pared with all instruments manufactur cd in this country. I have met cases il which upright pianos had extraordinar. volume of tone and great power, an,l yet in many other respects seemed to bc limited to the usual upright quality: but in the instance of this upright piano of Story & Clark I find the superabund- ance of tone and the great volume seem to add to the brilliancy of the instru- ment throughout the entire scale, the total effect resulting in tone character

high ceilings, and yet the new uprights of Story & Clark easily fill these spa cious rooms with music, so that one may stand one hundred and fifty feet away and listen with amazement and admiration to the beautiful tones which pour forth from the new Story & Clark creations. The tones are those of a grand piano, and good grand at that, and the quality has that purity and rich ness which at once appeals to the dis eliminating intelligence of tone crit- ics.
 The new scale Story & Clark piano bespeaks eloquently the heights reached by its builders. It lends distinction and character to Story & Clark ideals, as 1t appeals particularly tot he professional ear and technical judgment of an ex- pert. It possesses that rare tonal beauty allied with great sustaining power.

That Waterbury is hungry for base ball was evidenced yesterday after noon, when despite the threatening weather about one thousand fans journeyed up to the driving park to see the Springfield team and the Wa terbury Independents try and do things to each other It was an interesting game while it lasted but rain stopped 1t in the sixth inning. Springfield tried out three of her pitchers, Luby doing the better work. The local players had not prncticed together this season and they put up, under the circumstances, a remarkable game of ball. Trumbull did good work in the box and his three bagger which he turned into home run because of bad throws scored the only run of the game for the Wtaer. bury The score:

WRESTLING.
STURDY DAN
 A SURPRISE
Frank Speh Fails 10 Throw Pickett Even Once Alex Swanson Downs Ed O'Connell Other News.

Frank Speh was given the surprise or his wrestling career on Thursday night in this city when he met Dan Pickett of the Goodwill Athletic club lnsa handicap match in the SimOns- vile A. c. rooms. Speh had agreed to throw Pickett two fall in one hour of actual wrestling, but he evidently made a mistake if he came to Water bury believing he would have an easy task, for he not only failed to throw Pickett one fall, but he himself came close to losing and had the mat been the regulation size he would undoubt- edly have been downed by the local lad.
 There were two preliminaries. The hrst one between Dowd and Arm- strong, two youthful grapplers, was won by the former in two quick falls. The second preliminary proved to be q cOrker and was between Tommy Fitzgerald of the Goodwills and young Dwyer of the South Ends. Fitzgerald was the aggressor throughout and while Dwyer was forced to take a terrific gruelling he stuck to his task for the half hour allotted and was still unthrown when the time was up.
 Both Pickett and Speh appeared to be in the pink of condition when they appeared for the final contest, all though Speh claimed at the end of the match that he was not in condition and had only a couple of days in which to train. The match has. been placarded all over Waterbury and other lpaces for over week and evi- dently Speh knew something about the match prior to two days before the event. It was evident also that Speh believed he would win, for after the match had started several of. his friends wagered many dollars which were speedily gobbled up by the local followers of Pickett. Speh was the heavier and in the first thirty min utes tried every trick of which he was the possessor to get fall out of the local boy, but he was unsuccessful. In the last thirty minutes Pickett be- came the aggressor and he surprised even his best friends at his showing. Speh was handled without gloves and at one time only the ropes saved him from fall. The match ended with Pickett trying hard to get Speh over for a fall.

 What also find worthy of appeoval is that the instrument doss not contain full plate. but an exposed pin haock which has always been . favosits de-, sign of mine, and this exposed pin block, taken in conjunction with an enormous sounding board surface and an sxtsnds6 scale, which is 90 drawn a not to in1se. fere with the size of the instrument, giving it the usual dimensions, means an extraordinary success, not only from the point of the draughtsman but from that of the piano builder. The tons quality is thoroughly musical, with proloagea vibration due to the extraordinary pos- abilities of resonance.
 It is by all odds the greatest success in the history of the Story ( Clark up- right pianos, and it is sure to attraet the attention of every dealer and e every musician who touches it. Ths pianist will be particularly gratifed and astonished at the superabundancs of tonal quality, which offers opportunities for musical effects that are not gener. ally in uprights, but usually found . the smaller erands.
 The scale and the piano have been de- veloped entirely in the Story ( Clark factory, and when I say this I mean to observe that in many instances the scales are not the direct issues or results of factory evolution or discipline; there are many scales that are found on the outside and that are copies or limitations, and scales are sometimes purchased. and the best of results are also obtained from those directions, but in this instance tho scales conception, the scale idea, in fset,

TERRY KEPT QUIET.

The Pelican club in Sixty-fifth street near Third avenue, Brooklyn, was raid ed Thursday night by Captain Evans and his men of the Fourth avenue sta- tion. Nine prisoners were taken, in- cluding John Reagan, the proprietor of the club. Captain Evans heard people were paying to see boxing bouts and about 10 o'clock he walked around to the club with several of his plain clothes men. When the cops got in side two bouts had already been fought, in one of which Phil McGov- ern, brother of Terry, was a pardci- pant. Terry acted as one of his broth CTS seconds. The bouts were only three rounds.
 Terry McGovern told Captain Evans that he ought to be ashamed of him. self to raid an innocent boxing show. Evans told Terry that if he didn't keep his mouth shut he would be arrested. Terry kept quiet after this threat showing that he has more sense than some sane men.

The plsnos made by the Story & Clark Piano Co. will repay more than momsn- tary attention from members of the trade whether they are to be looked at as accessories or opposing forces.

They possess tone that piano yuen must recognize the moment it is heard as tone of the strength, depth and fugitive quality, sweet and singing, for which the life of the scale drawer and piano acoustician is one diligent, and often fruitless, search.

O'Connell's defensive work was very good, but he was up against hard proposition both in weight and skill.
