A trip through the agricultural dis
trfcts at this time reveals the fact
that all of the farmers are excep-
tionally busy at the present time.
Many are blowing and dragging, while
with many others this work has al
ready been done, and the work of SOW
ing is well underway. This accounts
in a great measure for the few farm
ers now visiting the city, and until
the crops are all in it is quite pro-
bable that their visits will become less
frequent, and of shorter duration.
This is indeed the farmers weather
and most of them are making the best
of it.

STILL A MYSTERY.
Drew Murder Case Proves Hard Prob
lem for Police.

Troy n. Y, July 15.-When the author
tiles, who are trying to solve the Teal
pond murder mystery, took up the
threads of the case today it was with the
expectation that the days developments
would go far toward experimenting the
murderer of pretty Hazel Drew, whose
body was found Saturday in an old mill
pond near lonely road leading from
Averill park to Taborton. The authori-
ties have been weaving a met of circum-
stantial evidence into which they hope Ia
enmesh the slayer of the young woman,
Frank Smith, a dull-witted lad, and
Rudolph Gunderman, both claim to have
seen Miss Drew on the night of Tuesday.
July Z, walking along the road to Tabor
ton, apparently on her way to the home
of her uncle, William Taylor.
District Attorney O'Brien. who has the
case in charge, said this afternoon that
up to the present time nothing has been
learned that would warrant the author
tiles in making an arrest in the case.
Every possible clue is being run down
by the authorities but apparently they
have yet to find anything that will reveal
the identity of the young girls slayer OF
the motive for the crime.

Small Representation In Days
Observation-Disclosures Light.

London, July 15.-The gold medals
went to Great Britain, France and
Sweden, as the winners of the finals
of today's events at the Olympic games.
Great Britain was a double winner and
France and Sweden secured one first
each. United States had to be satisfied
with one silver medal, symbolic of sec
ond place in the three-mie team race,
but the American representation in the
various events was small. The attend
ance was the largest since the open
ing, but the great crowd that had been
expected did not come and only the
cheaper stands contained spectators
in any number.
There were four finals assigned to
the day and Of these England won the
$50 yards cycling race and the three
mile team race, thus bringing the
number of gold medals accredited to
Great Britain to date up to four as
credit of the United States The only
event in which the latter country par
ticipated was the three team race
and the American team finished an
easy second
France captured her gold medal for
a victory in the 2000-metres tandem
cycle race and Sweden for Lclnming' S
record bre aking Javelin throw of 179
feet w inches, which topped the best
previous throw by more than three
feet.
Greece. France and Great Britain
each gathered in a silver medal for
seconds in the Javelin throws, 660-
yards cycle race and the 1000 metres
event, respectively, while Norway
Germany and Sweden took the bronze
medals in the same events. While the
throwing was going on, the bicycle
track was occupied by the competitors
