DRIVER M. CRAM
HAS ENTERED RUN

PHILADELPHIA. July 1.-THE first
dealer to enter the Frank A. Munsey re-
liability run from Washington to Bo5-
ton which viii take place on septem-
Der y, is Walter NJ. Cram, with his
Mitchell car.
Backed by the Penn Motor Company,
of which he is president. he placed his
Mitchell CO. in the event and put i'm a
request that the car be entered in tho
81 go TO s2.O0O class and that ne be given
No. in the class.
No amateur driver is better OF more
popularity known in this section Of the
country than Mr. Cram
In speaking of the Nunsey reliability
run, Mr.. Cram said:
What pleases me moss is the time
liness of the date-Septeinber 22-whCn
the event will be run. At that time the
1910 models viii be on hand, in readiness
for their Grst trying out, and the far
business viii about be started"
That the run is to be n stiff one, with
fast time and difficult roads, is another
pleasing feature. II viii BE as hard "a
run as the Glidden tour, although II will
not Zee so long
Although the entries do not close un-
til September II, and the four IS i'm its
infancy. eleven cars have been entered
already. At Detroit thi"ty-fivc cars
started away on the Glidden tour, ana
are even now tOiing over the sand and
rocks Of the West. II is the hope that
at least fifty cars viii start from
Washington on September - in the
Muusey reua hilitv run.
Every feature Of the new run viii be
Of the highest class. Handsome cups
viii be given to the ears and cash
prizes TO the drivers The classes nave
not been announces as yet but il is
understood thew VIII be the same as
those of the Glidden tour.

Of some folk in Baltimore to think that
the affair viii be a leadpipe cineh.
These folk should quickly bump their
top-pieces into stout stone wall and
come down TO Mother Earth.
II is admitted that the course will
take the contestants over roads that.
generally speaking. are as good as any
that can be found in the country for
such a stretch Of travelling, but the idea
that it viii be a mere jog each day is
altogether a foolish notion.
When the cars start out they viii
naturally be in better condition TO with
stand the rather strenuous trip up to
Albany. 1t viii be a thorough tTyouL
and the fellows who are looking for
cinches had better fight shy Of the
Munsey run.
TIE fact that this years GHdden tour
which Is at present under way, is carry
ing the contestants through the West

the Eastern followers II the sport.
Since the announcement Of the Munscy
tour, however, this feeling has quoted
down, for the reliability chase viii
Practically furnish as much sport as the
5lldden event. The present prospects
indicate much larger entry list than
the Gliddeu, and competition will nat
uraily be much keenrr. Ii would not
occasion the least surprise if when the
gong clashes for the start of the great
event on september y in Washington,
more than lep cars are at the line wait
ing TOR the signal TO begin their seven
day run.

Two hits for Milan.

Pitching a shut-OUt game is quite a
stunt. When it happens the news
papers give il much attention. Yet
here is Summers. who can a6ord to
Pat himself ON the hack is he blanks
the opposition four times season,
practically doing it twice in one after
noon. Eighteen innings mean two full
games. Dolly Gray and Groom have
both been making a poor showing on
the present "Trip. They have been wild
and ineffective, so much SO that IL
looked like an the promises they had
given earlier in the season of becoming
permanent major league fixtures had
been dreams. For either 3f them to win
2 game would have been a tremendous
surprise To the Capital fans. Then,
Gray pitches practically a shut-out and

law ordinarily requires, without run
being made of him. II some of that

BROWNE NOW FIFTH.
LELIVELT SEVENTH

Despite the fact that the Nationals
have been losing right straight along,
but few of the players have shown any
marked slump in the averages, although
with but several exceptions every man
on the team is far below his usual
standard. LeIive' and Browne are
keepng Washing ton within the .G0l
class. The former is seventh and the
latter fifth. Just a few points below Ty

CALL TO STAMFORD CHURCH
Baptist Society Secures Rev. n. A.
Calhoun of Norridgwock, Me.

The Baptist church of Stamford
which has been without pastor for
the past few months has voted to ex-
tend call to Rev. IL A. Calhoun of
Norridgwock, Me
The standing committee of the
church has been in correspond snce
with Rev. Mr.. Calhoun uf late and as
a result he occupied the pulpit Sun
day. The committee and church were
so favorably impressed by the man
that It was decided to extend to him
call at once.
Nj Calhoun is graduate of Brown
University and Newton Theological
seminary, graduating from he latter
in 1901. He became pastor of the
church at Groton. VT, but for six
years he has been with his present
charge at Norridgwock, Me. He is
married and has two children
The new parsonage at Stamford
which was practically completed some
time ago will at once be put in shane
to be occupied so if the call is accept
ed by Mr. Calhoun, as it is hoped it
will be, he can begin his duties very
soon.

dispatch as this, and without under
taking to say how rapidly the pound
master must proceed, we are of opin-
I ion that, under all facts of this case,
there was no such unreasonable delay
as would render the sale void.
Now, If the mule was the party com
planning, the court would feel dispos-
ed to say the delay was too great, as
it does not appear that the mule had
anything to eat during his stay as the
city's guest. But neither the city nor
the owner has any ground of CON-
plant
1t is said by counsel that the other
question presented Is an exceedin ely
important one, and we approach it
with a deep feeling of responsibility.
Counsel for plaintiff says that the or
dinance is unreasonable, and the
charge was necessary to correct q
great and growing evil. What this evil
is the record does not disclose. It is
not alleged that any great trust or
combine is being formed in impound-
ed mules, and 1t is not shown that
any trust at all exists as to mules
running loose.
The attorney for the city has fur
nished us a printed brief, which we
have read with much interest and
profit, and have filed away for future
reference. In it case is cited from
North Carolina, where the Supreme
Court of that state held that three
days advertisement of an impounded
hog was sufficient. Shaw v. Kennedy,
4 N. c. SCI; HELEN " Noe, 25 N. c.
1913. Also a case from Missouri, hold.
ing that three days advertisement of
impounded cattle was sufficient
White v. Hanworth, 81 Mo. App. 439.
Under former ordinance of the
city of Knoxville, it was held that
five days notice by posters at the
courthouse door was sufficient May
or, etc, v. King, Lea, 444. In the
case of Moore V. State, II Lea, S5, it
was held that an ordinance of the
taxing district of Memphis, providing
that impounded stock might be sold
On four days advertisement, was
valid. Now, If it would take four
days to affect the city of Memphis
With notice, it is said it would not re-
luire less time to reach the public in
Knoxville
The argument of the city attorney
seems to be that If a hog may be
sold in three days, a mule-might he
sold in two days, since he is much |
more of a nuisance, and much more
dangerous to keep, and the city ought
not to be expected to remain forever
IN guard.
Now. we do not desire to say any.

rhe ordinance applies to all animals, |

We feel constrained, upon the |
ground stated, that the time is too

be affirmed. The defendant must pay |

Vermont in the Census.

The census director may figure that
no more than the same number of
enumerators employed in 1900 will be
required to take the census in Yer
mont in 1910, but they will find a
good many more people to count here
next year than we had ten years ago,
a good many for Vermont, that is to
say. The population in 1900 was
343,641 as against 332, 422 in 1890, a
gain of 1928 or triiie over 3 1-3
per cent.
The Messenger would not be sur
prised to see the figures of 1910 go as
high as $685. 900, a gain of 1859 al
though, of course, this would be a
big squirt for this steady-going little
State. But there has been very
healthy growth in our industrial life
in the past ten years and many OF the
reasons why in former times young
men were induced to leave the state
to seek better opportunities else
where have been made less persua-
sive not to say less compelling by the
development of opportunities right
here and home where they never eX-
listed before.
OF course, any jump at the figures
of 1910 now would be sheer guess
work, but 365, 900 would be gain of
only per cent over the population of
1900, and several towns in the state
will be able to show more than that.
OF course, there must be reckoned in
this the fact that some of the smaller
towns win undoubtedly show losses,
although those losses are largely
drift to nearby large towns and are
not lost to the state as a whole.
The population of Vermont by de
cades from the first census to that of
1900 was as follows (1790), S5,449;
$500, 154,456; (1S10), 217,S95;
(1S2O), 1885, $500, 2S0,652
| (1S4O). 1,94S; QS5O), 314,120;
| (1S6O), 315,O9S; dS7O), 33O,551;
(1SSO), 332,2S6; (1S90), 332,422;
$1,000, 343,641 A gain of 2l,35s
shown by the figures of 1910, there
fore, would mean the greatest in
crease in any decade since 1S5O.--St.
Adams Messenger.
