COTTON CROP PROGRESSING Reports Most Glowing of
 Season. EARLY PICKING THIS YEAR Texas Reports a Long and Con-
 tinued Drouth.
EARLY PICKING THIS YEAR
Irreguiarity Most Notable Character- istic of Reports for Last Week Due to Lack of
 Rainfall.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 1.-The com- the following crop summary. gathered by Its correspondents throughout the South:
 Irregularity is the most notable characteristic of reports for last week This is due to the lack of rainfall in many sections of the belt, for the sup- ply Of moisture has been sufficient and reports are most glowing Of the sea- son. All the States, with the excep- tion of the coast sections of Georgia. and the Carolinas and Southern Ala bama are in good condition, and the plant has made progress Along the coast, the rainfall was excessive, and the plant has suffered. With normal conditions henceforth and later frost. the Eastern States expect to produce an excellent crop; prospects exceed those of last season.
 The States of the central cotton belt or those immediately adjacent to the Mississippi River, have good and bad reports for the week and are optinlis- tic or gloomy. according to the rain- fall received. Showers dave been light and scattered over most of this sec ton and the crop Is in need of a gem eral rain, Acute damage has not come yet. except in a few unimport- ant localities. The plant Is well fruit ed and small.
 Oklahoma and the northern belt ot Texas furnishes good reports. The supply of moisture has been sufficient up to the present. A late fall is need ed however, to permit development of the crop, most of which Is late.
 From the Central and West Texas come the worst reports. The need for moisture has become acute, and the plant is suffering badly from shedding, while premature opening of bolis is complained Of The reports from Southwestern Texas indicate a very short crop as a result of the long continued drouth.
 Indications are that pipking in nearly all sections of the belt will become general two weeks or more later than last year.

Four Heats Necessary to Decide the
 2sO< Pace. f

' . Four Heats Nseessary to Decide the ] BOA Pace.
 PROVIDENCE, E. l., Aug. 2O--The third days racing at Narragansett park brought at least one interesting event, the third race, 2O4 class for pac- CTS, requiring four heats. as all the starters were pretty well matched. The event of the day. the Roger VII Hams stake of 5000 for PIP trot- ters, brought out larger crowd than either of the first two days, about 1000 being present. In this race High ballsand Sonoma Girl were both en- tered, and the withdrawal of the lat ter was great disappointment to the spectators. As was then expected. Highball ran away from the field, get ting both heats with very little trou- ble, though Geers' gelding travelled very lame.
 The third race, 204 class for pacers, was puzzle. Ardelle, Argot Boy and Kruger all looked like first money. Four heats were necessary to decide this event. Ardelle won the first, Kru- ger the second and Argot Boy the third and fourth. Every heat was closely contested. Kruger did 2.0414 in the second heat. Argot Boy's time in his winning heats was 2:091a and 2:10.
 The last race on the card went to Thornfeld, the conceded favorite, aft CT game fight, in which Zaza and Wild Bell figured.

ton of athletes the like of which has never been seen ill Waterbury.
 One of the big attractions of the day will be the appearance of Matt McGrath of the N. Y. A. G., the husky New York policeman who last Saturday defeated John Flanagan at throwing the hammer at the Metro politan championships. McGrath is not satisfied with defeating the re- nowned Flanagan in competition but is now after that athletes wopld's s record, which he will try to smash at Saturdays games.
 Another athlete of world fame is Martin Sheridan, who made such big reputation at the last Olympic games at Athens. At shot putting and ham, mer throwing Sheridan has no peer and his exhibition Saturday will be worth witnessing. Melville Sheppard of the N. Y. A c. is another athlete who will be seen in the long distance runs, and also John Daily the champion of Ireland and Great Britain. James F. O'Connen of the N. '. A. C. will be seen in the broad jump and the high jump, along with several other stars.
 These are but a few of the noted men of muscle and brawn who appeal Saturday and besides these there arc ! twenty men from the Irish American A. c. of New York and from nearly every athletic club in the state. Crack track teams are coming from different i Hibernian organizations about thf state, and with 15 events to be run off, day of royal sport awaits those who attend the meet.
 Another event which should attract much attention is the motor cycle race and the relay race between the different athletic clubs in this city Rivalry IS rife among these clubs and the event will be hotly contested.
 Manager Thompson has had fore, of men at work for the past few days getting the track into shape and il will be in excellent condition. Al the several heats will be run on promptly by a capable set of officials and there will be no delay between the events.
 One of the officials will be no less { celebrity than Bernard J. Wefers, tn, famous Georgetown sprinter. whC holds several worlds records in ths dashes. Wefers has consented to comG up here to act as starter. The referee win be James E. Sullivan. the great est exponent of sport in this country and competent men will serve al timers. announcers and scorers.
 For months this big event has beer fin preparation and no pains or expens' have been spared to make 1t the big gest thing of its kind the state hal ever had and the Hihernians are f, he complimented for fathering such ; big event in the interest of true. clear sport.
 The trolley company has promised plenty of cars for the Driving parl and they will start early and every body will be accommodated. Extr. police protection will insure agains crowding onto the tracks and there i every evidence that Saturday will b a red letter day in the history of loca athletics.

SUPPLY OF COTTON
CENSUS REPORT FOR YEAR ENDING
 x AUGUST Sl.
Dfstxibutfon And Consumption of The
 Seuthss Great Product as shown hx stnfistfcs of The Govern

menu
 Washington, Nov, 7-The Bureau or fhe Census has just published Bulle- tin 90. which contains report on the eupplv and distribution of cotton Tn the United States for the year enalhs Auxust Si.. 1907. The bulletin also in cludes the latest available data Tn respect to the number of cotton spin dies and to the consumption or cotton in other important manufacturing countries. together with statistics of isnports and exports of raw cotton and it's manufactures for selected coun- tries.
 This report was prepared under the superyision of William M stuart, chief statistician for manufactures, by Daniel c. Roper expert special agent.
 The supply of cotton for the year ending August Sl, lsoI, accoruang so so the Census bulletin, was 15,025,12O bales of 500 pounds each. To this number the cotton crop of 1906 con stributed 12,S97,714 bales and that or 1907 contributed 200,27S bales; stocks held on September 1, 1906 amounted to 1.349.I39 bales and the imports or foreign cotton to 202,73S bales.
 Of this supply 4.sS4,936 bales were consumed by manufacturers, 22,s52 were burned. and S,50S,265 were ex- ported, leaving 1,515,567 bales in stock at the end of the year. Manu- facturers in the cotton growing states consumed 2,410,993 bales, which was slightly less than the amount consumed by the manufacturers in all the other states, 2,57s.s43 bales.
 The figures given for the imports of cotton represent only the net inn ports The total importation during the year was 22S,793 bales of 500 pounds each, but of this amount 26,060 bales were re-exported. In this con nection 1t is proper to state that a large part of the foreign cotton re- exported this year is of Mexican growth and in reality only passed through American ports in transit to Europe. Practically all the foreign cotton imported for use in this country was of Egyptian or Peruvian growth. which is used in the manufacture or thread and of knit goods and as substitute tor wool in the manufacture of wooden goods.
 The manufacturers in the cotton growing states rely almost exclusively for their supply upon domestic upland cotton. Of their total consumption only about 100000 pounds. or less than two per cent. was sea-island cot ton. and only 4.332,593 pounds, or about four per cent, was foreign. In the other states only Is per cent of the cotton consumed was sea-island, but five per cent was foreign.
 Of the total number of bales con- sumed by manufacturers. 4.751.74S were used in mills reported cotton spindles, cotton spind1es, 23.s49 in knitting es- tablishments not reporting cotton spfndles. se,155 in bedding and mat tress manufacturing establishments. when the amount of cotton consumed in mills reporting cotton spindles is
