THE NEWS remarked in March 1906 when "The Berkshire Daily Press" was started that time would demonstrate whether Great Harrington would sup port daily newspaper and the discon- tinuance of the "Press" on Monday of this week proved that present.conditions there do not warrant such publication. It made brave struggle for existence and in many other places of the size ot Great Burlington, would have survived but the field is so thoroughly covered by the daily press of Pittsield and Spring field, with their late telegraphic reports and mass of general news, that the.oub ication of strictly local daily is uphill work

The hall was filled both evenings and we are informed that it is the first instance in the history of Canaan when the demand for tickets for drama was so great as to necessitate a repetition. If those who composed the cast were susceptible to the fiattering influence of profuse compliments, there would be need for twelve larger hats ill Canaan to-day, but they are not effected that way.

another 67 for 300, and as Bob had
not yet shown his intention of meet

that he was the winning side, and

JACK CURRY IS ON
THE RETIRED LIST
The Veteran Reinsman Quits The
TrOtting Game i'm Thorough
Disgust.

Jack Curry, the well-known reins-
man, has quit the trotting turf in
disgust. His stable was disposed of
at Buffalo, AL. Thomas taking over
Lady Gail Hamilton 2:06 1-3, and
Brownie Russell 2:10 Ia, and s.
year-old trotter by Marvel. Curry is
indignant over the action of the Ma
tional Trotting association and some
of its members in suspending him for
entrance fees due on horses owned by
California turfmen and trained by
him. He was not permitted to drive
at Buffalo, and this precipitated the
dispersal of his stable. Curry says
the horses in question were not own
ed by him and were not entered in
his name. In 1905 and 1906 Curry
campaigned Tuna and Brilliant Girl
the latter being the fastest green
mare of the year.

CHAPTER v

Thursday, November Is, was a
memorable day in Wall street AS the
gong peeled its the-game s-closed-till-
another-day, the myriad of tortured
souls that are supposed to haunt the
treacherous Dogs and quicksands Of
the great exchange, where lie their
earthly hopes, must have prayed with
renewed earnestness for it's destruc-
ton before the morrow Never had
the stock exchange folded it's tents
with surer confidence of continuing
it's victorious march. Sugar advanced
with record-breaking total sales to
2071S and the final half hour carried
the whole list Of stocks up with it. In
that time some of the railroads jump
ed ten points. Sugar closed at the
very top amid great excitement, with
Barry Conant taking all offered. Dur
ing the last 80 minutes it had become
evident to all that the board-room
traders and plungers, together with
many of the semi-professional gam
blers, who operated through commits
sion houses, were selling out their
stock and going short over the open
ing of the Wall street hoodoo-day, Fri
day, the 18th of the month. But it
was also evident, with the heavy
selling at the close and stiffness
of the price, which had never
wavered as block after block was
thrown on the market, that some pow
erful interest as we'll had taken cog
nizance of the fact that the morrow
was hoodoo-day. At the close, most
of the sellers, had they been granted
another five minutes, would have re-
purchased, even at loss, what they
had sold, for it looked as though they
had sold themselves into trap.
Their anxiety was intensified by the
publication, few minutes later, of
this item:
Barry Conant in coming from the
Sugar crowd after the close remarked
to a fellow broker: by three o'clock to-
morrow, the 18TH will have a new mean
ing to Wall street. This was interpreted
as pointing to a terrific jump in Sugar
Tomorrow.
1.-THE street" knew that the news
bureau that sent out this item was
friendly to Barry Conant and the "sys-
tenn" and that it would print nothing
displeasing to them. Therefore, this
must be a foreword of the coming
harvest of the bulls and the slaughter
of the bears.
Others than Ike Bloomenstein re-
marked upon the fact that Bob Brown
ley had hung close to the Sugar-pole
all day, but when the close had come
and gone without his having anything
to do with the Sugar skyrockets, he
dropped out of his fellow-brokers
minds. Wall street has no use for
any but the door" The poet and
the mooner would be no more secure
from interruption in the center Of
the Sahara than in Wall street be-
tween ten and three o'clock. Some
sage has said that the human mind,

Harness with a Reputation

We note this week that the Lincoln
Hardware & Implement Co. shipped
out several patches OF harness and
enquiring found they had received
orders in one week as follows: Five
sets OF heavy harness to Spokane
firm; one heavy set of team harness
to Orofino party and one to par
ty in Genesee. Nothing could be
more eloquent or convincing as to
the prices this firm asks for it's har-
ness or the satisfaction it's product
gives to the customer. This is u de-
monstration that their prices are
right and their product above the
standard-it also demonstrates that
kendrick is the best town in the
country to do trading.
