ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM.
Its Uses Not Confined to Cities and
Large ToWnS.

Many persons have an idea that the
convenience of cooking, heating and
lighting by electricity may be enjoyed
only by those who live in or near
cities or large towns within reach of
the electric light company's lines.
This is an erroneous idea, for cleo
tricity may be generated on any prem
iSeS.
On most farms in Western Maryland
will be found a springfield stream
which, if damned up, will furnish
energy enough to turn water wheel
or turbine of sufficient power to oper-
;.to a dynamo which will generate the
electricity necessary fer all purposes.
Or the farmer may operate an cleo
trio generator from Windmill power to
charge storage batteries.
Many farmers who have their own
threshing machines can easily belt an
electric generator to the traction or
stationary engine fly wheel and gene
rate the electric current necessary for
use in the house, barn and yard. Usu-
ally these engines are idle IL months
IN the year. Why not let them wear
out instead of rust out?
Every one is familiar with the au-
tomobile that is operated by gasoline
engine powerful enough to carry six
or eight people over country roads
at a high rate of speed. Install prac-
t.cally the same engine directly con-
nected or belted to a dynamo in a

REASONS FOR SEPARATE SHOW.
Why Stoddard, Dayton and Maxwell
 Cars VIII be at Athencum

A glance at the reading and the cuts in the Central Auto e-npany's an- nouncement in to-dny's issue impress es one rather facetlously; but q talk with Harry Futile, the secretary and manager, enables one to read between the lines some interesting facts
 To go back little, this Is the third year this firm has hardled the Stod- dard-Dayton and Maxwell autos, hay ing the agency for New Haven and Litchiield counties. Daring that time it is claimed that there have been more Maxwells sold in this territory than any other two makes Up to this year the firm has not been war ranted in advertising or displaying these two cars. because it's entire al lotment has been sold virtually before the riding season commenced.
 This year both factories have in- creased their output-the Stoddard- Dayton has doubled theirs, and the Maxwells capacity has been increased from $500 to 12,000 cars.
 That the parties to whom these wheels have been sold by the local firm are enthusiastic in their praise of the machines Is a well-known fact, and the firm felt that in a display at the auto show 1t wanted one of the best or none at all

It meant considerable additional ex- pense in fitting up and giving due pub icity to the separate exhibits, but the firm felt that the users of these two machines wanted a fine disnlay--in fact, many of them had said so--and the firm has tried to make it such. both in space, in full line of cars shown and in the decorations, floral and otherwise.
 The firm hopes that those who visit the auto show will realize the efforts it has put forth. will honor it with a visit, and will feel amply repaid when they call,

BURNSSURE WINNER
American Pugilist Picked to De- feat the Irish Champion,
 Jem Roche.
TOMORROW IN DUBLIN
Worlds Champion is Still Suffering from an Inflamcd Eye, But States
 He Will Fieht.

Dublin, March 15.-Tommy Burns, the American pugilist arrived here to- day for his fight on March IT, when he win defend the title of heavy weight champion of the world agalnst Jem Roche, the Irish champion. Burns is still suffering from an in famed eye, the result of an accident a few days ago, the outcome of which at one time threatening to be serious, but he has definitely decided to go on with the contest, because otherwise he is in better condition that he has ever been, according to his own statement and that of his trainers
 Some of the friends of Roche be- licve that he has an excellent chance to defeat Burns, but careful observ- CTS of the game regard the American as a sure winner. and he himself dis plays the utmost confidence in his ability to turn the trick.
 The Irish champion has never met Gunner" Moir or Jack Palmer, both of whom Burns has defeated, so that it is difficult from his record to form any adequate idea of how he compares with Burns. He admits that he does not know as much about the science of boxing as Burns, and the critics point out that he has the additional disadvantage of being slow.
 There has been little betting on the fight, the odds quoted making Burns strong favorite. A ring has been erected on the stage of the Theater Royal, all the seats of which have been sold. One fortunate ticket spec ulator, who secured a row in the dress circle, has sold the best of the seats for $125 each.

NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

The loss of Charlie Farrell to the New Haven roller polo team was as previously stated in this paper, acted rather to strengthen the team than to weaken it. Many fans anticipated that the local five without their mighty center would wither away under the attacks of the other polo teams in the league but instead un- der Bones effective charge. the ad- dition of Lincoln, Sutton and Wiley, it has regained its lost strength and now looks as good as any in the league.
 Sutton in goal has it on Miller in all stages of the goaltenders' duties and that position being strengthened is almost enough to cause the color to return to the local five. Gardner at half-back with Saunders as substi- ute, gives that position the neces- sary strength. That Wiley can hold his own at center was exhibited Fri day night when he caked three pret- ty goals, besides playing a pretty passing game. Lincoln at rush is the kind of a player Bone wants He passes well and put up stiff game. Warner, who plays substitute rush, is fast player and tries hard to be ef- fective.
 Tomorrow night Mick McGil- vray's band of sluggers will dwell for an hour or more at the Quinnipiac rink. Hardy has not been eliminated from their lineup, although McGil- vray was asked to do so. Curtis will play first rush in place of Thompson. The Rhode Islanders always put up a strong game against Bones five and do not seem to approve of the To- calls attempts to land the throne pos ition.
 On Wednesday night the Boneyards will move to Hartford for a onc-night stay. Thursday they will step into the Park City and Friday night New Britain, the league leaders, will be our guests.
 The two home games this week will be the best that have been offered to the fans this season. Tomorrow. the game with Providence will no doubt turn into a slugging match. while Friday night. the game with New Bri- tain although it will also border on the line of slugging match, ought to offer a good exhibition of scientific polo.
 There are but four weeks left for the locals to work back to the pos ition of premier honors and if the New Haven five wish to accomplish this feat they must start to play to- mnrroM.

60 TO FIELD TO-DAY Yale Baseball Team to Have it's First Work on the
 Diamond. FIRST GAME ON SATURDAY Doubt if the Grounds Will be Ready Captain Jones Goes to
 Exeter.

The, Yale baseball team will have its practice at the field this after noon if the rain of yesterday did not leave. the diamond in too muddy a condition. For the past three weeks the men have been practicing in the cage and in the gym lot but Captain Jones has wanted the men at the field for real practice leading up to the first game.
 The first game will be played next Saturday according to the schedule and will be against. the New York un- iversity. Captain Jones says the team is ready to play the game, though because of the late spring it is probable that the game will have to be cancelled.
 During the past week the pitching has been done mostly by Howard Jones, Pinkie Dunbar and Cushing. Van Week has been away and Mer- Tit is again on probation. Dunbars work is about the same as last year, ] but that of Jones and Cushing has improved notably.
 Captain Jones went to New York Saturday and talked with several graduate coaches who will come up here this week. Yesterday he went to Exeter, N. H.. where he formerly explained the Phillips Exeter base ball team.

CLINTONs vICTORS.
Easily Defeat Naval Reserves in Fast
 Game 42 to 20.

The game between the Clintons and Naval Reserves was finally played at the Boys club. Saturday night The game was an easy one for the Clin- tons, who played all around their op- ponents defeating them by the score of Az to 20. The result of this game certainly was a surprise to the spec tators, who expected a very close game. The fact that the Clintons had substitutes playing. only makes their victory more decisive. This victory will be of great help to the Clntons, in their claim for the championship of the city, as the Navals have made a good record. This makes the sec ond victory for the. Clintons this week, having defeated the strong Light Guard team Wednesday even ing.
 All the members of the Clintons played great game, seeming to have the ball in their possession all the time. Their passing simply amazed the Navals, Harry Breenburg, who has previously played a star forward game, played center for the Clintons against Cooley of the Navals. He secured ten field goals netting twen- ty points for the Clintons This was just what the Naval quintet scored, Including fouls. during the game. Capt. Ben Greenburg, who played right forward for the Clintons, did great work, intercepting and spelling many of the passes of the Navals. He worked like Trojan, and inspired the Clinton players by his strong play ing.
