Seeding apple trees. The Newtown
Pippin takes its name from the Long
Island town where 1t originated and
it is one of the best known of the pip
pins. An apple which has a high local
reputation. but is not known in the
markets of the world, for it will not
stand transportation, is the Primate,
which was originated in 1910 on the
farm of Calvin ID. Bingham, in Onon-
dago county, near Syracuse, and
named by one of the neighbors of Mr..
Bingham, Charles d. C0wles A bronze
tablet marks the place where it was
produced. Wayne county, lying on the
slope of this state. toward Lake Onta-
rio, produces perhaps the greatest
quantity of apples grown IN the en-
pire state, but the neighboring coun-
ties of Ontario, Monroe, Orleans and
Niagara, come close to 1t. The New
England and middle states, Michigan,
Missouri. Kansas, Oregon and Wash
ington, are the chief apple growing re-
gions of this country, and Nova Scotia
and a considerable part of the province
Of Ontario, Canada, also produce large
ly. In the south the region is confined
to the middle attitudes of the Alleghe-
MES, in the Virginias and the Carroll
mas, Kentucky and Tennessee. Some

The training of apple trees, so that

limb and expanse of boughs for the
production of fruit, has been devel-
oped to a great degree in some places
but in large orchards the chief care is

the finest fruit is placed in boxes in
stead of barrels, and some sorts are
wrapped and cared for with as much
pains as oranges, and command equal
ly high prices. But the great bulk of
the apples sent to domestic and for
eign markets are conveyed in barrels,
the fruit being more or less carefully
put In the open barrels and the heads
being forced into place, so that the
fruit will be tightly packed and will
not be injured in transportation.
Many Sent Abroad.
A large quantity of choice apples is
sent abroad from this country, as 1T
tie of the fruit raised in Europe IS as
fine as that produced here. In London
and Liverpool American apples are be-
ginning to meet with competition from
New Zealand. The longer apples re-
main on the trees, unless the weather
proves too cold to permit their ex-
posure, the better the flavor and keep
ing qualities. The fruit that comes TO
perfection the furthest mort, as that

ORA TORIO SOCIETY MEETING PLANS FOR THE FIRST ONE. Rehearsals Thursday Evenings Instead of Monday-"Mes
 siah" the First Concert.

Plans are completed for the first meeting of the New Haven Oratorio society. Cards to this effect have been sent to all those who have ever beer members of the chorus. The rehearsals will be held in College Street hall, and on Thursday evenings instead of Mon day as heretofore.
 "The Messiah" will be given for the first concert. which is scheduled to take place ill Woolsey hall on December 12.
 For the first time in the history of oratorio in New Haven an outside chor- us will assist in a performance. The Derby Choral Club, an organization of 250 voices, directed by Dr, Horatio Parker, conductor of the home oratorio society will rehearse the Messiah in Derby at its weekly rehearsals, so that the two choruses will be preparing the work simultaneously.
 A chorus of probably 600 and more will take part in the performance. This will be the biggest chorus that has ever sung here.
 At the spring concert Sir Edward Ell gar's "The Dream of Gerontius' will be sung.
 Rehearsals for this will also be be- gun at once. as the work Is a monu- mental one, requiring more rehearsals than are usually given to single work The Elgar composition will be given by the New Haven society alone,
 Those who wish to join the oratorio society may meet the. committee on membership on Thursday evening from to 8 o'clock in College Street hall.

Whitney Makes Point and Bartlett
 Notes, an Exception.

Boston, Oct 15.-The evidence which counsel for Henry M Whitney of Bos- ton hope will sustain the claim that the ticket headed by their client, which was placed in nomination at one of the democratic conventions at Springfield, should receive the approval of the bal lot law commission as against that headed by Gen. Charles W. Bartlett of Newton, was nearly finished when the hearing closed to-day A dozen wit nesses were heard during the day. The most important point was the victory of the Whitney lawyers in obtaining the approval by the commissoin of the introduction of ASA affidavits taken at Springfield from alleged Whitney dele- gates. The Bartlett lawyers asked that exceptions to the action of the commission be noted, which intimated that in the event of an adverse deeis- ion the Bartlett faction would appeal to the supreme court, in which case the question of the legality of the two con- ventions will not be settled for some time.
 The greater portion of the evidence introduced by the Whitney lawyers to- day was in support of the contention that the theater was filled with persons
