by fine Of not more than $40 for each

come to the conclusion that the law Is
intended 10 work at the foundation OF

aud back again BY $40. 1t was inn
possible To skate directly across the lake,
ON account Of the snow on the Ice The
skaters therefore followed the ice which
had formed where there had been cracks.
In this fashion they made the trip some
what north Of Juniper and In q zig gag
fashion. Before reaching the New York
shore, whl.~ they touched ID the viein-
Iity Of Willsboro pond, they stopped at
Schuyler's island, where they warmed
themselves at house occupied BY man,
his wife and three children. The whole
trip covered about Is miles.
AT some places the ice which had
formed over the cracks was only about
two inches thick and in other places
the average thickness seemed to be
about FIVE inches, with the ice forming
rapidly.

BRITISH
AMERICAN
FINANCES

London, Oct. 2S-While the sensa-
tion mongers here and in other Euro
pean capitals have seized on the crisis
in New York to discredit America
finance and financial methods, there
is a strong note of optimism in more
reliable and saner quarters. Though
acknowledging that the crisis is dis
turbing to the nerves of the financial
world, it is not forgotten that the
industrial and agricultural prosperity
of the United States is extremely sat
isfactory.
The money market trouble coming
with the admitted general prosperity
seems to bother all pervasive pro-
fessionalr cities of American finan-
cial conditions, but all are willing
otherwise to praise the more prom
inent institutions for so splendidly
withstanding the runs on their
Golfers The situation is described
as rich mans crisis, but poor
mans panic. AT the same time it is
insisted that while the unreasoning
fears resulting in panic may be as.
suaged, the crisis remains. The
crisis is alleged to have been due to
gamblers who have built up
tottering facbric of manipulation and
chicanery on the broad basis of gen.
eral prosperity.
1t is pointed that prosperity will
be cleaner ''for the removal of rotten
superstructure aud in the wreckage
caused by the downfall of the gamb-
lers, investors will find more of an
opportunity of picking up cheap

note not infrequent in general com
ment. 1t is not unreasonable to be
lieve that the comparative calmness
with which Europe views the situa-
tion may be due to the greater and
more reliable dissemination of news

United States a panic was panic,
and nothing more; now reasons for
and details of crisis. enable thought
