Newark's little bantam fighter, Pat

hands in many a day, and 1t would
seem that some one In New York is
responsible for the little fellows idle

his work, and if he does he will v
come back to his own form, They

Willie Fitzgerald is not a newcomers
in the fighting game. He has been
In it many a day and from all ac-
counts his setback in the pugilistic
world has been due to his carelessness
Years ago the name of Willie Fitz-
gerald was a %bugbear in the ears af
aspiring fighters. but that all has
passed away. There Is no more fear
entertained for him now. His punch
has lost all its terrors and he is forced
to show to the world that he still has
a right arm that can hand out a
knockout blow with its old-time vigor.
The friends of Leach Cross seem to
think that Fitzgerald has gone across
the boards as a champion. Maybe he
has, but 1t will be well for those who
are TO face this same Irish boy to go
slow in the matter of taking for grant
ed something that should be we'll
weighed in the scales of serious
thought. Willie Fitzgerald is apt to
go out tonight and beat the best light
weight that can be sent to face him,
and then again he is liable to get the
sleep-producer under his chin. 1t is
hard to tell.
Champions Are Going.
While some of the champions are
still lingering around waiting for some
thing to do others are busy and maxi
ing hay while the sun is shining out
in California. For instance, that was
a pretty good job that Eddie Hanlon
pulled off the other night on the coast,
Years ago Hanlon lost all his prestige
as a champion, yet he arranged a &c
with Owen Moran and had it talked
up to such IN extent that he got some
of the California clubs bidding for the
| go and finally Hanlon secured a purse
that would make some of the present
champions take notice, and although
Hanlon lost to the little Englishman
he got enough money to place him
on Easy street for many a day. Han
lon certainly saw his championship
day long ago. Moran is one of the lit
tie fellows who is always coming, and
he is coming strong. He simply re-
garded Hanlon as a breeze n paid
no more attention to his punches than
II they were mere fiy-tags touching
now and then.
While it cannot be denied that cham
pions are going, as in the case Of Han
lon and Cans, others are coming and
I wouldn't be surprised to see, after
this Fitzgerald-Cross battle tonight,
the name of Fitz heralded as the win
ner.

Not for Bryan.

II hope to live long enough to
vote for some Democrat who stands
chance of being elected" said a
Proctorsville Democrat the other day
to Ludlow Tribune reporter while
discussing the presidential prospects
of his party. Bryan doesn't stand
the ghost of chance" continued he.
20 yes, he's honest enough, but he
has never shown what he could do
in the administration of any impor-
tant public affairs, and the people
are afraid to trust him with the gov
ernment." 1t is just this lack of
united sentiment in favor of any one
leader that keeps the Democratic
party in the background and gives
color to David B. Hills suggestion
that there isn't any Democratic party
nowadays, IN the good old sense Of
that term. The speaker expressed
the belief that if Gov. johnson could
be named by the Denver convention,
there'd be trouble for the Republican
party in the middle Western states.

is perhaps he has paid more atten-

Fertilizers for Summer and Fall
TOpdresslng and Seeding Down..

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
in many cases better results are
obtained on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer or
early fall. This is true both as to
top-dressing and seeding down.
We wish to call the attention of
the farmers of Vermont to the fact
that we can furnish formulas for
mixing fertilizers especially adapted
to top. dressing and seeding down
grass land. These formulas have
not only been approved by the Yer
mont Experiment Station, but have
been used with excellent results by a
great many farmers in Vermont and
have proved thoroughly reliable. We
can also furnish the materials tor
mixing fertilizers in accordance with
these formulas. We should be
pleased to send the formulas to-
gether with full directions for mix
ing, cost of materials, etc, to any
one who will write us, mentioning
this paper. Address Carroll S.
Page, Hyde Park, VT.

"Come and see the musical dog; ad-

good many people paid their two
pences and entered the tent, which
was empty save for big dog wear

impotence mastered curiosity, and
one of the audience asked the show
man when the performance was go

prised at the question and made for
the tent door. Once there and in

pointed to the dog in the tent, say.
