GOLD AND WINDY
 FOR THE CREWS.
Brush Between the Fours, the varsi- ty Winning Out-visitors at the Quarters.

It was cold and windy and the water rough on the Thames Friday and it was not until nearly sunset that the Yale crews were able to go out for the second practice of the day and then only for a short row All the crews took the water at the same time, row ing twice over the stretch between Red Top and quarters at high stroke. The changes made in the morning were not altered for the afternoon practice.
 Among the visitors Friday were Gen. W. w. Skiddy, Julian w. Curtis, w. M Barnum and Otto T. Barnard. all of New York
 A brisk wind was stirring up the Thames and a drizzling rain was fall ing when the Yale oarsmen took the water Friday for the morning prac- tice. There was no change in the seating of the varsity boat, but several were made in the other shells Brain ard, bow oar in the second varsity four four the latter going into the second boat. In the freshman eight Adams was shifted from No to No. 3. Camp from No. 8 in the freshman four to No. [ in the eight, Brundred from stroke in the four to No. in the eight to No. in the four. Scragg stroked the freshman four.
 The freshman eight went out on the river first, going down as far as Red Top and then back to quarters. The varsity eight followed, paddling over the same distance. Later the fours had a half mile race up stream, starting at Red Top. The varsity four won by nearly a length, the freshmen were second and the second varsity four third. There was no open water between the boats.

ManIcurinu . Horse.

A horses hoof is really the same thing as the toe or finger nails of hu. man beings, or of animals having toes. The hoof grows just as a toe nail does and more rapidly on unshod horses than on those wearing shoes It's growth is much faster on horses that are well groomed and we'll fed upon an average of a third of an inch a month. The hind hoofs grow faster than the fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, it takes longer for it to grown down there than at the heel. The new hoof grows out any cracks or defects in the whole, grandually working down to where 1t can be cut of. just as with human finger nails

NORWICH INCREASED s6, 900, 900
Addition by Board of Equalization for State and County Taxation-iotal of $17,390 900 Added in This County.
Total state additions. .. SIPS, ,so7o

Total state additions. $12S,6O7, ,O0O
 There is an increase of 27 in the number of towns to whose list no addi- ton is made this year. This is due to the action of the towns themselves in placing a new and more capitalized val uation on the taxable property, more nearly in accordance with the fair value" requirement. af the statute This voluntary increase by many towns is particularly gratifying, and in near ly every case has exceeded materially the previous addition by the board of eQuaIiza tion. Several other towns have a much larger list than last year, but their officials do not claim that the property is on the statutory basis.
 The additions which the board has made to the lists has been done after considering definite information from the taxing officials, the results of a personal investigation, or other com potent testimony. This action has not been taken so much to increase the total grand list of the state as to pre- vent so far as/possible the penalizing of those towns which have voluntarily placed their lists on a fair value basis.
 As heretofore, it has been necessary to make some additions of an ac- knowledged lower percentage of as- sessment on certain special property, although effort is made to keep the general property on a fair basis.
 The board is more impressed than ever with the desirability of a reval- uation of all the property in the towns at least once in five years, which would be a definite business advantage to the community and would result in a high CT list, fewer inequalities, a lower tax rate and a Seasonable conformity with the statutory provision W hich requires property to be listed at its fair market value.
 It is hoped that a large number of the other towns will decide that it is to their advantage to follow the good example set by the towns that have recently reValued.
 Towns to whose lists no additions are made but where additions were made in 1909, are:
 New London county-Lebanon, Water ford.
 Windham county-Ashford. Hamp- ton. Scotland.
 Holland county-BoIton, Stafford

The Mills of the Gods.

They tell us that ever so slight a change in the earth's tipping on it's axis brought the glacial period that swallowed up all life in the north as the ice crept down from the pole, inch by inch, foot by foot When it right ed itself again our present day broke, and the river wore its way through the rock, draining the mighty glaciers. So the dawn of a new humanity in which man, facing toward the ideal of brotherhood, shall do justice and love mercy is upon us now. It is good. when one gets impatient, to remember that these things are so, that though the mills of God grind slowly they grind exceeding small. - Jacob A. Riis in The Survey
