For the EAST twenty-five years il
has been the custom Of q committee OF
the board Of trade TO raise about $500.
by the pass the hat plan, TO pay the
city's share OF the YALE Harvard boat
race expenses I'm tagging and policing
the course, and the deficit is taken
from the none too large board of trade
treasury. AS this is a matter In which
the whole city is interested, Il is but
fair that the city as a whole bear the
expense. The board OF trade has made
move to accomplish that result and
will ask the court OF common coun-
ell to provide for the payment OF the
city's share Of the boat race expenses
Just how the idea VIII strike the
aldermen is problematical. II was sug
gested by ex-President Neilan and ia
Vored by ex-President Frank V. Chap
pell who for a number OF years have
led the workers in the interests OF the
boat race In behalf of the city, and
the motion to request the council to
lie expense was made by er-President
and ex-Mayor Mahan. so there is no
guessing as to how the proposition
will be received by Mayor Armstrong.
Every member OF the court OF com
mon council is familiar with the con-
ditions and viii probably .lavor the
plan, provided II is not in violation OF
some city ordinance that may be un-
earthed to defeat the plan Of the gen
tlemen named. although II has the
unanimous approval of the board Of
trade.

held good then would not be consid-
cred now, would not be worthy the
same consideration.
Some Norwich men have said that
there is no intention of renewing the
old claim, and perhaps they mean
what they say now. But when the
opportunity comes for any live city
to increase its Importance. as rule
advantage is taken OF that opportunity.
So, should the county representatives
decline to substitute an appropriation
of $4,000 for repairs TO the old court
house, for the appropriation Of $4,000
for a new city and county building,
the future of the old court house is
doomed so far as goes court business.

that objection by the give and take
as political play in which even SEN
ators of the United States sometimes
indulge The New London senator Is
already doing his best to secure the
removal and in this he has the sup
port of the chief officer OF the rev.

The board of trade has selected ex-
Mayor Bryan f. Mahan as its repre-
sentative, in a committee of three, one
from the Business Mems association
and one from the court Of common

Young Hopi Indian Will Compete for
 S5000 Prize at Seattle Fair.

It was announced yesterday that Harry Mclean, the Hopi runner, will compete in a Marathon race at Seat tie october 15 for @ purse of $10,000. The race will be run in connection with the state fair. The first prize will be S50OO It is the size of the purse. which Mclean hopes to win, that has led him to yield his right as an amateur and join the ranks of the professionals.
 The Marathon will be a little over twenty-six miles as prescribed in the days of the old Greek runners. Among those who are entered for it are such runners as Longboat. St. Yves, Dorando, Johnny Hayes and Simpson, which is about as fast company as one could wish for.
 John Lewis McLean's trainer. will soon go to Sacaton to bring back the young Indian and set him to a severe regimen of training. Lewis thinks that if he can get Mclean into con- dition in time that he will have an excellent chance of returning to Phoenix with first money.

 In London. which the doctor visited frequently for the benefits he could secure in witnessing operations in surgery at the hospitals. he ran across Hector McRae, well known in Phoenix and all over the west among mining men. He seemed to be enjoy ing himself and wore an air of peace and prosperity as well as the regular London apparel.
 Arriving in Paris about the 5th of August the doctor spent ten days in doing the places that chiefly inter ested him. Among them he visited the old palaces at Versailles and Fontainbleau. Of course he took in the picture galleries and theaters and all the other places an American has to go, even if his visit is short. What interested him more than anything else, however. was the witnessing of operations by Tuffier. the notable surgeon who discovered and made famous spinal anaesthesia by which operations may be performed without the patient losing consciousness. This was particularly pleasing to the doctor for the reason that he met Dr Tuffier and saw him work on the occasion of his former visit to Paris during the Paris exposition. The doctor says that Tuffier is not now using spinal anaesthesia as much as he formerly did, having abandoned the practice to a great extent for the reason that he has found that in many cases it has been followed by some spinal trouble such as meningitis or locomotor ataxia.
 Altogether the doctor is glad to be home again. though he is not sorry he went away. for. like John l.. Sulli- van he has had the worth of his money, whatever the cost
