time lying on his stomach 1t was very
warm. the air was thick with smoke and
soon both men were pcrspiring freely.
Gotch got head scissors holds on Pa
pas several times, but was unable to hold
his man, and after that most OF tho
match was devoted to holds for punish
meht. once Pappas got a good toe hold
on Gotch that hurt, but Gotch wriggled
out OF It, At the finish several policemen
arrived on the scene and II the men

WORLDS FAIRS.

The decision Of the New York Worlds
fair committee against holding In 1918 an
exposition to celebrate Manhattan's ter
centenary anniversary Is significant of
the growing opinion that worlds fairs
have been ernumerous of late and that
there is no valid reason for adding to the
number. The first worlds fair in Ameri-
ton at Philadelphia in 1876 1t covered 60
acres: there were 80, s46 exhibitors, and the
visitors numbered l0l64.4s 1t was open
for 1859 days. and the receipts from ad-
missions amounted to Ssl3,724. The ex-
hibition at Paris In 1878 was seen by
1902. 726 people. and the one held In the
same city in 1859 entertained 28149, 1853
visitors, with gate receipts OF S. 200, 900.
The total gate receipts Of the world s
Columbian exposition. at Chicago. from
May to October 81. 1893. were $40 626. S31 ,
and there were 2l.47Ss6l paying visitors.
besides 1862, 1888 admissions on passes.
Among the important international ex-
hibitions here and abroad that are sched-
ued for the near future are the Mexican
centenary celebration Of next September
the Denver worlds fair Of 1912, the ex-
position Of 1913 to celebrate Pearys vic
tory on Lake Erie, the celebration OF the
opening Of the Panama canal In 1919, the
Japanese exposition OF 1917 and the Ros-
ton tercentennial Of S2O-Philadelphia

STREET CARS STOPPED
Troubles of Burlington Traction
Company Reached Climax.
Cylinder Head on Engine Blew OF and
People Must Get about a. Best
They Can until sunday at
Least.

Tramp. tramp. tramp. the boys are
marching.
Everybody is walking to-day. except
those who own automobiles and horses,
and tho walking Is fine.
At $50 o'clock yesterday morning the
cylinder head blew off on the engine at
the power station that supplies the power
for the Burlington Traction company,
and directly afterwards the cars on the
entire line were dead. The management
has no hope OF running cars before Sun
day morning.
Most all of the cars were out or Diff
ferent lines at the tnle of the accident
and all day yesterday four horse teams
were used to draw the cars to the barn
This reminded the older people OF the
old time horse cars. Last evening barges
were used TO carry the workers homo
from the Lumiere plant the cotton mills
and the wooden mills, and this method
Will he used till the cars commence run
ming.
When the cylinder head blew off there
was an awful crash but mo one was in
iurcd. The cylinder struck the wall
about ten feet distant and did not damage
the building to any extent.
The water power at the plant has been
out of commission for q long time. so
that at present there is no auxiliary pow
or. The new water wheel has arrived,
however, and It is expected that by Sun
day morning 1t will he in working order.
Not until then will the cars commence
running.
The accident Is the climax of much
trouble which the Traction company has
had with its power for several weeks
past.
Yesterday afternoon private parties
commenced running barges between here
and Winooski, the fare one way being
ten cents. During the afternoon trade
was poor and all that the driver got was
n merry horse laugh
It IS expected that the stopping of the
entire car service will hurt the local re-
tail business to great extent. 1t will be
nearly impossible for Winooski people to
get here evenings and these people do
nearly all of their dry goods trading
here The theatre business will also suf-
fer and it will be impossible for most OF
the people to visit the parks.
The people who reside long ways from
the center Of the city will also be put
to great disadvantage. and will prob
ably wear out lots of shoe leather.
For few days transportation meth DDS
will be very primitive.

ABOUT IL TONS OF HAY.
james Fine Claims Hay Wasn't De.
livered and Wants S5O.

Twelve tons OF hay nearly filled tho
city court room yesterday. 1t was
the case of James Fine vs.. Augustus
Parizo and trustee. an action to re-
cover $50 damages for alleged breach
OF contract.
Mr.. Fine claimed that he visited
Mr.. Parizo on December %. 1909. and
barRained for ~ tons of hay Mt sl2
ton. and that the defendant was to
trust him for the same for three or
four months. About one and a half
tons were delivered. 1t is claimed. and
the defendant failed to appear with
the rest.
This, the plaintiff claims, caused
him to lose a profit OF 81 a ton on the
hay. or $50 which he wishes TO re-
cover The plaintiff sets up that he
has always been ready to live up to
his part of the bargain. The Sc
was completed and II now rests with
the court for decision.
