NEWARK NO FARM,
SAYS NEW OWNER

NEW YORK February 6-Whether
Newark is to be the farm for the devel-
opment of the New York Yankee young
sters will not be definitely known until
the opening Of the Eastern League base
ball season in the spring. There were
rumOrs to the effect that the Highland
colts would receive their training there in
consequence of the sale OF Montreal. but
George T. Stallings said yesterday at the
Victoria Hotel that the Newark club
would not be used as farm. Practically
new team however. will represent the
Sailors. Stallings has the controlling in
terest in the Newark club. and will be
manager. president and treasurer. 1t Is
practically certain. however. that he will
have many of the youthful Yankees on his
roster
Fred Knowles expressed surprise that
the Newark club had changed hands. He
said that he did not think the Burnhams
would let their interests go. and he init
mated that the New York Nationals
would have been very glad to acquire the
Newark control for the development Of
new stock.
The special meeting OF the Eastern
League which was held at the Victoria.
was called chiefly to ratify the sale of the
Montreal club by Frank Farrell. Every
one seemed to be pleased with the new
regime. which is expected to boom base
ball in the Canadian town. There was lit
tie or no friction in the release Of Jim
my" Casey from Jersey City to Montreal.
Jersey City was willing to allow Casey
to go to Montreal on the same terms
that they paid Brooklyn for him. as they
considered ii to the best interests of the
league to let him have the helm of the
Montreal club He came to terms readily
with the Canadian owners after a
short conference. and went away with
the best wishes of all the delegates for his
success.
T.. J.. Darlington and G. A. O'Neil rep
resent a new company which is to be cap
italized with stock valued at $4,000 and
they expect 10 have all arrangements
completed for the new order of affairs by

STATE FAIR OPENS
 IN MISSISSIPPI

Jackson, Miss, October 27-(Special) J. The Mississippi state fair opened for To- days exposition and display of the natural resources of the state today at noon, and everything is now open, save the stalls and houses for the accommodation of the overflow of fine hogs, cattle, etc.
 More than 100 fast ponies are already on the grounds and more are coming in on every train, so that the prospect is that the sport at the ringside is going to be fast and furious
 Every available foot of space is oc- cupied, and in the event there was more the management would have no trouble in disposing of 1t. A number of the ex- hibitors have been forced to the necessity of displaying their wares and goods under tents, all heavy machinery, buggies, etc., being accommodated In this way.
 As usual, the exhibits from the gulf coast are the most attractive on the grounds. They show fruits and vegetables that other portions of the state cannot duplicate The Jackson county exhibit occupies the largest space in the great agricultural building, and is filled to over- flowing with the very best products of the soil of semi-tropical climate, the golden orange forming the base, and at- tracing a great deal of attention and favorable comment.
 Harrison county also has fine exhibit, the sign in front bearing the legend "Bl- loxi, Gulfport and Harrison County Ex- hibit." The exhibit is complete, but not near so extensiveaas that from Jackson county and which Is in charge of that veteran exhibitor, MT. Lewis. MT. Bous- log of the Gulf and Ship Island railroad has charge of the Harrison county show.
 Another great exhibit Is by the trustees of the penitentiary farms, and in charge of Trustee c. C. Smith. The exhibit tells in plain and unvarnished language just what the convicts are doing. There are bales of the finest cotton and the choicest of peavine and lespediza hay, corn that would do credit to any country on earth, sweet potatoes that rival description, turnips and all other kinds of vegetables. Molasses of the finest quality stands out boldly, and cotton showing 200 bolls to the stalk attracts great attention. The decorations are convict stripes.

ZEPPELIN MAKES
 AIRSHIP FLIGHT

Friedrichshafen, October 27.-Prince Henry of Prussia spent several hours in the air today as the guest of Count Zeppelin. who made an ascension in his remodelled arship at a comparatively early hour. Not only did the prince thor oughly enjoy his experience but he sat at the steering wheel for many miles of the flight, guiding the movements of the craft and compelling it to execute all kinds of complicated maneuvers
 Prince Henry's satisfaction at the great flight was unbounded and he gave ex- pression to it in a telegram which he sent to the Emperor:
 Under zeppelins guidance I felt just as safe as on my own flagship"
 Captain Mschke was also a passenger when the start was made in the direction of uberlingen to the northward of Con- stance. With Count Zeppelin himself at
 the wheel the airship rose to an alti-
 tude of 600 feet and moving rapidly against strong wind soon disappeared behind bank of clouds. Soon messages
 began to arrive from the towns in the
 Rhein valley announcing the passage of
 the airship, but about o'clock in the afternoon a sonorous sound from the sky returning Soon it appeared above the thronged streets of Constance, where the prince gracefully saluted in aeknowledgement of
 the ovation from the cheering crowds below.
 After maneuvering above Lake Con stance in full view of the city for some
 time, the airship made it's way toward the Swiss frontier, disappearing in the | direction of Tyrol. It returned to it's

 royal family expected the Prince to luncheon at o'clock, but the Prince was so charmed with his successful aerial flight that he extended the cruise until
 nearly nightfall.
