that in the interest OF the success Of

will do something to stop the unfair
ness with which the Americans al
legged the officials OF the amateur ath-

In the first heat OF the individual
competition the best performance was
given by Fleisch, Australian. He
scored FIVE points to his opponents
nothing.
America has protested the tug of
war, but its protest has been disal-
lowed. Greece and Germany withdrew
from this contest, and the first pull
was between the American team and
the second team from the United
Kingdom. The protest was made on
the ground that the United Kingdom
team, contrary to the regulations,
wore prepared shoes. The American
team lost the first pull, The Ameri-
can team had two more pulls, the con-
ditions being the two best out OF
three, but in view Of the cause for

A Last Word.

Just a word to our delinquent
subscribers. There are but a few
of them, but we do not wish to lose
one. We like to see their names
on the list. Every week when we
run the list off on the mailing ma.
chine the names look just like old
friends to us. But we would be
playing losing game to pay cent
a week postage on delinquents
when our subscription price is but
81 year. We hope every one
who finds the date OH his label
more than a year late will pungle
up the dollar necessary to keep
Uncle Sam in a good humor so
that he will allow the paper to go
without the cent.
We intended to increase the size
and price Of the paper the first Of
January, but the financial furry
coming stopped us for a time. We
are now the only country paper in
the county that charges but sr per
annum, and we will enlarge the
paper and increase the price to
81. so per year July first. II you
pay up your arrears and pay ahead
it will be at the old price OF 81 per
year but after the first of July any
advance subscription will be 81. so
per annum. 1t will pay every one
to pay up and ahead before that
