The Amount of Eresaht.

Scanning the situation at the office
of Mr.. Belmont, it was estimated that
25,O00,O0O tons of freight would go
through the canal each year. The
most remote guess at the time for
the final operation fixed the middle
of 1912 as the date for completion
So much for things about which
the New York financier and his aids
had done and thought up TO the time
yesterday afternoon when they got
reports of real work being done and
of real dirt flying from the ditch.
Now the company is battling with
the ice to get its mammoth dredge
to work at the eastern terminus. Re-
buffed by the weather, the big dredge
was tied up at Plyomuth and a steam
excavator that had been in process
of setting up for more than month
began fighting the job from inside or
the sand dunes and the famous Sous
set Marshes, at a point half m1fe
from the shores of Cape Cod Bay.
Just as soon as the sand has been
cut the dredge will be towed to Sand
wich, and once started on her way
the big machine will never stop night
or day until she has ploughed her
way to Buzzard's Bay.
The excavator, now in use, is cut
ting the surface earth to the high
water mark. 1t weighs $50 tons and
it's long arm describes a complete
circle as it takes the excavated dirt,
swings it to the bank and then swings
merrily back for more of the land
that has for fifty years stood be-
tween men of the sea and dream.
A light draught dredge has been put
to work in Tupper's Creek and she
will dig seward until she has COM
pleted the passage through which
| the Mackenzie is to go. All OF the
dredges and machinery are equipped
with electric searchlights for night
as we'll as day work Other digging
machines are to be erected along the
route as fast as possible
| All of the dredges on the Buzz
yards bay side which have been deep
ening the channel off Toby Island
| have been towed to New Bedford to
await the passing of the ice.
Bad luck has attended the con-
| struction Of the sea wall that is to
serve as a breakwater. A small sec
ton that had been constructed last
| fall was frightfully swept by the sea
during the storms of last week. 1t
settled into the water until there is
little trace of the early work, but
| just as soon as the channel begins
to show progress the breakwater will
get attention and the entire three
| thousand feet will be built.
! Sandwich, a little village at the
Barnstable bay side, has been won
derfully transformed from a quiet
sea village into lively town. 1t is
| headquarters for the construction
companies on the work, and their
men and employees have given the
village the appearance of western
| mining town during a gold hunt.

protecting the lee shore during tues
of storm.
But what is the beneft?" asked
the doubling.
Again the workers went TO facts
and figures. They showed that che
canal would actually shorten the wa
ter route from Boston to New York
by sixty-ive miles, but that delays
incident to bad weather and tog,
which must now be figured in the
time of carrying traffic sometimes
put a full week to the total of elapsed
time that the canal would save. To
this argument they added that
barge or ship which now stood
chance of being reported among the
lost would come safely through the
ditch, protected from storm and sea,
riding quietly on certain basis
where the past and present had 10
reckon with uncertainty and misnap.
Instantly there came plans for 10
eating factories along the route, ana,
strangely, fashion found interesting
plans in the scheme to dredge the
neck. Many attractive summer re-
sorts and locations for them are
strung along the shore of the region.
1t became a new part OF the prs
gramme to arrange schedule tor
steamers of the Sound type, so that
the New York man might leave the
city late in the afternoon, run TO
one of the resorts, and then get
safely and surely to Boston by halr-
past eight o'clock the next morning
for return trip by train. Quite nat
urally the owners of the resorts, the
people who like that territory Tor
summer enjoyment and the numer-
Gus interests appended to the resort
question began to take lively in
terest in the new canal.
For cold business purposes the men
who backed the fight figured that
thirty thousand ships, six thousaDd
of which are steamers and the re-
mainder sailing vessels carrying car
goes, rounded the Cape each year
with the total rapidly growing to-
ward the forty thousand mark. Then
it developed that where once the in
dividual schooner carried most of the
trade, now raw materials made the
perilous journey in barges, so that
corporations, owning and controlling
large numbers of barges and large
and valuable freight cargoes, might
now be estimated as part of the
traffic possibilities, without resort TO
the endless task of finding the indf-
vidual owners of schooners.
Veering around to the aid of the
canal, the railroads of New England
ceased what had been rather hos
tile attitude They found that the
rapidly growing country demanded
the full facilities of their roads to
move the passenger traffic and the
urgently insistent congestion of man
ufactured goods that must go speed
lily to market. Thus the raw material
came to be diverted largely to the
water and the barge became one OF
the cardinal factors in determining
the success of the project.
The managerial lead pencil again
figured This time it got the result
that if but one-half of the traffic that
rounds the Cape took to faster and
more peaceful canal route the tolls
would pay dividends upon the $12,-
100000 of capitalization required for
the work.
Many men of prominence began to
take an interest in the task Among
them was Robert Bacon, formerly as
sistant secretary of state, then part
ner in the banking house of J. Pier
pont Morgan & Co., and now ambas-
sador to France.

Paris Takes the Coveted Flag

Ire pennant Of 1910 will feat over
White tarK next season and that is
nov an assured fact The trouncing
the BourOl.it gave the Pioneers in
the game here Sunday and the drub-
bling given the Colts by Maysville at
Lexing ton Sunday afternoon was the
last nail to bind the. coveted flag to
the staff at the local park.
Under the leadership of Eddie Nc
Herman the BourboniteS went all the
way at a steady gait and have earned
the highest honors in the league, for
this season at least Last season
Paris finished in the third position in
the race for the pennant after a bad
start. This season With practically
the same team under rev manager,
although they suffered two defeats at
the start and many reverses, forged
their way upward until they occupied
the highest position and have main
tanned the lead over the other five
clubs for more than half of the season.
The success of the club this season
is due to the knowledge Of base ball
and the ability of McKernan to man
age the players.
He knows the game and knows how
to drill his men to play it. Since the
opening game there has alays been in
jected into the contests the same spir-
it of determination, not only by Nc
Kerr. an himself but by the entire ag-
sregation. The determination never
to give up has won more contests than
any thing else and more than once has
victory been sna tched from defeat by
the generalship IF McKernan.
The people of Paris and Bourbon
county have backed the club up with
genuine base ball enthusiasm and their
confidence in the home club was re-
warded by their efforts in carrying
away the honors Of the season. We
are proud of cur club, and McKernar,
who will be at the helm in 1911. will
get together a team that the other
members Of the Blue Grass League
will have the greatest difficulty in
downing.

fore the ball coulds4 be recovered.
Goodman stole second and Barnett
scored the two runners on single to
left. Wills then went in to stem the
tide and Scott sent the ball to right
for three bases. scoring Barnett.
Chapman flied to Maloney and on the
out Scott scored. Holder tripled to
right and came home on Wills tumble
of Winchell's bounder. Winchell died in
an attempt to pilfer second, retiring
the side.
The visitors never succeeded in get
ting a man farther than second and
then only in one instane. Huffman
was forced to retire from the game in
the seventh inning owing to his injur-
ed foot and Max veil filled the position
at third.
Paris has seven more scheduled
games to play, five of which will be on
the home grounds and two at Rich
mOnd.
Today at White Park they tackle
Richmond, Wednesday and Thursday
they play at Richmond and return
here for a postponed game with
Frankfort on Friday. Saturday the
Colts will be here and on Tuesday the
Sheets Yancey aggre cation will close
the season at White Park. 1t is pos
sible the postponed game with Lexing-
ton may be played here Saturday in
stead of Tuesday, as much depends on
the three games with Lexington as to
which team will win the series. Lex
intgon is one game ahead Of Paris
having taken an even dozen to eleven
for the Bourbonites. The locals have
won the series from every other team
in the league, and the locals are only
waiting for the three big games with
the Colts in order to make clean
sweep of the series with every clubs
in the league.
p1In order to perform this stunt the
BoubOnites must take both the sched-
uled games from the Colts and if the
postponed game is played it will be
necessary for them to win all three in
order to prevent the Colts from break
ing even.
During the season so far Paris has
won forty-five games on their home
grounds and lost seventeen. Abroad
they have captured thirty and lost
twenty eight. At home they won ten
and lost two to Richmond, won thir-
teen and lost two to Maysville. won
seven and lost four to Lexington. and
won eight and lost five to Frankfort.
Abroad they have won six and lost
five to Richmond, won six and lost
seven to Winchester, won eight and

the utter defeat of the Pioneers Sum
dav afternoon, when in a single IN

The contest was fast and furious
for five innings. Winchell and Allison,

form and dispensing assortments OF
curves of the most deceptive order:
In the five sessions Winchell allowed
but two hits which came in row IN
the second round but the side was re-

SATURDAY..

Slated for double-header the Bour-
b0nites went to Lexington Saturday
only to again meet defeat at the hands
OF the Colts in the first game, and in
the second Umpire Feye called the
game on account of darkness in the
fifth inning after the Bourbonites
were leading by score of to O.
Williams was hit hard but with all
that only three of the runs made by
the Colts were really earned. The
locals had the best of the argument
with the stick and Kellogg was touch
ed up for ten hits.
In the second game Winchell was
sent on the mound, pitching a fine
game and allowing the Colts only one
scratch hit in the four sessions. A
wild throw in the second put runner
on third and Eddington allowed two
hits in row which counted the first
tally for Paris. Another wild throw
which came after two clean singles
gave the Bourbonites two more.
The locals were eager to finish the
game and to hasten me- tiers some

in the fifth stepped across the plate
