 What is said to be one of the smartest horse shows in the east, is to form part to the Connecticut fair, to be held at Charter Oak Park, Hartford, September to Il. In charge of F. M. Ware whose name as that of an exhibitor of show horses is awell known all over the United States, the show will offer one of the finest collections of harness and sad dle horses to be gathered at any one track this season. Superintendence of the show will be in charge of three well known Connecticut horsemen, Walter L. Goodwin, Herbert L. Camp and Samuel Russell, Jr. The i'm mense popularity ol the show horse was very ably demonstrated at the Fair last year when to the surprise of even the experts, the show seemed to arouse even more enthusiasm than the familiar trotting and pacingraces ever dear to Connecticut sportsmen, the popularity reaching from the so- ciety women in their boxes to the ragamuffin hanging over the rail of , the track. "Or9 of the smartest ex- hibitions ever seen in Connection" was the characterization of one On- locker and .his remark seemed more than justified. Naturally the best efforts of the fair management are to extend this season on the center of popularity-the horse shoW-and not only are the efforts of the horse men of the state being enlisted but MT Ware, working in the interest of the show is visiting the finest stables of New York, Newport, Long Island and Westchester, and the blue ribbon winners of the shows in those places are promised for the Connecticut ring. Trappings of the finest are natural accompaniments of the aris- tocrats of the horse show ring, the spectacle of the sleek high-stepping animals with glistening brass and silver-trimmed harness, with clean cut traps and phaetons, and with background of thousands of we'll dressed people being a sight never to he forgotten. A number of especially spectacular classes are to be intro duced this year, including tandem and four-in-hand classes. The ladies p..aeton class, won, last year by the unconquerable "Babbette' and "Bab- binette," will form another beautiful class while the coach horses, pairs and combination horses, are such as will attract unusual enthusiasm. Saddle horses with the coming of the automobile, which has decreased the interest in driving, are more popular than ever and a number of classes are to be offered, including a special prize of s10O offered by the American Saddle Horse Breeders Association. Ladies' saddlers will also furnish a striking class. It is not only show horses which will have their innings however, but the farm horse, draft horse, the children's pony and the polo pony, the whole forming, as is intended, a representative collection of the horses of America.

"PEGGING" THE COST OF LIVING
New York WOrld.)

New York WOrld)
Without impugning the accuracy of
the Bureau of Labor's relative price
of commodities, published by The
World yesterday, the figures cannot
measure the actual rise in the cost OF
living from 1897 to 1908. An increase
of 81 per cent. only in the price of all
commodities does not begin to state
the actual situation of the consumer
Still, the figures do follow the ten
dency of prices. They reveal the huge
revolution which has come about in
the control of industry in the last fiji
teen years
In 1898 we had panic. Prices had
begun to fall in 1891, when it was fore
seen. By 1894 the statistical average
of prices was 14.S points" or say Is
per cent, below the boom year 1890
Prices remained low for five years
more than one-quarter. The panic was
cured by natural means People who
needed money sold their goods cheap,
and purchases were stimulated. At the
least, men out of work for a time
could live cheaply.
How different the course of the pan
ic of 1907. In the interval the trusts
had grown to giant size and the law of
supply and demand had, we were told,
given place to benevolent industrial
dictatorship. The Steel Trust for
months held up prices to its own loss
and the general disadvantage. The big
glass makers held the little ones in
line. Lumber could not decline much,
because, under high tariffs we have
cut nearly all our trees. Food and
prices of all commodities averaged ten
points higher in 1908, in the profound
depression after the panic, than they
were in the boom year 1890
Twenty years of progress and inven-
ton had gone for naught. Processes
were cheaper but prices were higher
1t was costing much more to live in
1908, when a vast army of honest and
Industrious men were out of work,
than in 1890, when all were employed.
And all that we had to compensate us
for this manifest lowering of the con-
ditions of general prosperity was a
sheaf of vast and sudden fortunes
whose vulgar and profligate display
amazed the world.
The greatest problem of American
craftsmanship today is how to lessen
the cost of living to the ultimate con-
sumner without touching the miners or
factory hands wage or the income of
the farmer. 1t can be done. Having

Past is the time when Ewes we'll nour-

Taken between microscopical meals!
Fashion has kindly abated her rigor,
Ye who have patiently starved at
the shrine,
Bent on attaining the requisite figure,
Now are permitted to breakfast and
dine.
Those who by nature approached to
perfection,
Sinuous beings who never tight-laced,
Now must be plunged in the deepest

Envying those with a moderate

Surely the coming of contours more

Plump little Cupid's approval must

Surely he wept for those suffering
dumbly,
Generous Junos who strove to be
thin!
Now may we shortly see banished for
ever
That which was too artificial to last.
Fashion is sane for once-may she

Follow the willowy wisps of the
past!
