Publicity End Not Neglected.
The work of advertising the expo.
sition has been going on merrily.
Sam Clark, formerly of Minot, was
secured to act as publicist, and he
has been active in boosting for the
show in every conceivable manner.
The publicity committee of the Bis.
marck Commercial club is also busy.
Its chairman, L. X. Thompson, is de.
voting his labors to the news of the
exposition all over the state. Mr..
Clark's endeavors have been on a
broader scale, and have covered the
entire country.
Commissioner Gilbreath is the orig.
inator of the exposition. For years
this state has sent elaborate exhibits
to various fairs and shows in every
part of the country. 1t remained for
Mr.. Gilbreath to conceive the idea of
keeping these exhibits at home and
holding a big show within the borders
of the commonwealth.
The dairy exhibit will be under the
supervision of R. F. Flint, state dairy
commissioner. Mr.. Flint is an expert
enced dariyman and has been work
ing hard to further diversified farming
in the state. He will take particu
lar pride in making the exhibit in his
department rank among the best. The

Twice during the twenty days there
will be large industrial parade. This
will not be the ordinary procession,

The Liberals lost ground practically
in every province of the Dominion.
Where they won, their majorities were
small. Where the Conservatives won,
their majorities were tremendous.

against the administration and reci-
procity.

Past Not to Be introduced.
The government defeat means that
the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agree
ment. ratified by the American con-
gress in extra session, will not be in
troduced when the twelfth parliament
assemblies next month. and that re.
vised basis of trade with the United
States, looking to closer commercial
relations. will not be possible in the
immediate future. The Conservatives
, are committed to a policy of trade
expansion within the empire and a
closed door against the United States.

ment from public life of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, who for nearly two decades
has directed the destinies of the
Dominion. Several times during the
bitter campaign the venerable pre-.
mier said that defeat of his party at
the polls meant the end of his career;
that he never would consent to lead
a minority in opposition to Con.
sentative government.
A Liberal membership of So from
Quebec was cut down to Sc, which,
taken alone, seriously threatened the
supremacy of the party. But it was
; in Ontario that the Conservatives won
their greatest victories.
Opposition Sweeps All Before.
Spurred on by appeals to patriotism
and the cry that reciprocity was the
entering wedge for annexation, the
Conservatives sv ept nearly every
thing before them. Ontario, which in
the last parliament was represented
by IS Liberals and 81 Conservatives,
will send a delegation to the next
composed Of 10 Liberals and Is Con.
servatives. A notable feature of the
defeat was the opposition's capture
Of two hitherto Liberal seats in Sas.
katchewan.
Landslide Is Unexpected.
The landslide was not expected by
either side. The Liberals were con-
f1dent that they would be returned by
the people with an increased ma.
5ority. for they believed that reci-
procity would be most acceptable to
the Canadian electors. While the
Conservatives claimed that they would
have a majority. they did not expect
that 1t would be SO large or that the
general verdict of the country would
be given so decisively against the
government.
They feared that reciprocity would
prove popular with the farmers of
Ontario and the farmers and fisher.
men Of the maritime provinces. and.
while confident that they would win
the cities, they were dubious as to the
result in rural constituencies. How
ever. in Ontario especially, the agrf-
cultural vote went almost solidly
against reciprocity, and in the mari
time provinces It did not prove to be
the popular issue expected.

work of various briquetting plants,

keen interest by all who attend. This

place in the hall.
There was great deal Of anxiety
in some quarters regarding the quality
of the products which are to be on ex-
hibition. This resulted from the
''bear" stories sent out the latter part
of July, at the time that crop condi-
tions appeared to have suffered a seri-
Gus setback from drouth. However,
the annual state grain growing contest,
as well as the county contests and
those held by various private firms,
succeeded in bringing out specimens
of the states products which far ex-
ceeded all expectations and which
were in almost every instance the best
that had ever been seen in North d.

A FAMINE OF
TENNIS BALLS
Sport so Popular This Sea-
y son, is Cause.

All of the lawn tennis tourna-
ments, clubs and individual players
are experiencing difficulty in secur-
ing an adequate supply Of balls. The
sport has become SO general this
season that the manufacturers have
not been able to come anywhere
near supplying the demand. Officials
of the recently decided Middle States
championship were compelled to bor-
row from private individuals and
clubs to finish that tournament.
Those in charge of the New York
state championship and of the tour
nament at the Meadow Club, South
ampton, Long Island, are at their
wits end as to providing an ade-
quate supply Of balls for the Compel
itors.
One of the leading manufacturers
of an official tournament ball stated
Yesterday that he was more than
three hundred dozen behind his Or
ders for tournaments alone, and that
it was impossible to supply the
wholesale and retail portion of the
trade. All of the rubber ball foun-
datIons are made in Germany, and
manufacturers in this country state
that it will be impossible to secure
more until next season. The felt
covering is put on in this country. 1t
is possible that a number of the
coming tournaments may find 1t
necessary to use the same balls for
a number of matches because of the
limited supply instead of supplying
new balls for each match, as is the
usual custom.

l am told that the Sewaren A. c.
defeated the Stoney Bridge nine, OF

score sent in by some one it is hard
to determine who won.
1t is expected that Charles Yenk
will soon be back in the game, after
suffering from trouble with his eye
for the past two weeks. Two weeks
ago, while playing for South River,
Yenk was forced to quit the game,
being unable to see the ball. Last

Johnson's contract with Mcintosh be
gins Oct. 81 of this year. when the

Crowd is Disappointed.

Although both teams were in
uniform on the field the game be-
tween the Saints and the Western
Bloomer Girls was not played yester-
day afternoon on account Of the
threatening weather. There was a
large crowd on hand to witness the
contest and they were disappointed
when they learned that the session
was Off.
Both teams claimed to be in the
best Of shape and wanted to get the
game started but the rain came
down in torrents for a few moments
and somewhat dampened the spirits
of both players and spectators. 1t is
likely that the two teams will try to
arrange a game later in the season

ARGUMENT
OVER UMPIRE
Perth Amboys Claim Unfair
Deal Across River.

The Perth Amboys journeyed TO
South Amboy Saturday and met with
a reverse. The South Amboys man
aged to get five runs In the initial
inning. The locals claim the deci-
sions Of the umpire were biased and
that they were unable to make any
thing against Overwhelming odds.
Sport Kelly would not take the
umpire out, they say, and in the
fourth inning they quit the game
with the core 6 to 3 against them,
because Of a decision of the umpire
which they took exception to. The
umpire reversed the decision, It is
said, when he saw that the Perth
Amboys quit and Manager Hardiman
could not get his team to play. Some
of the players did come back and
the rest Of the game was played but
the spirits of both teams were shak-
en- by the miXup.
The South Amboy lads claim they
offered the Perth Amboys a chance
to choose an umpire but the Perth
Amboys, they aver, refused this and
should have been satisfied with the
one provided. The South Amboy
manager states that If the fans had
left the foul line flags where they
were put there would have been no
dispute.
1t was the first game for the Ath-
letics under the new management
and they claim that all the decisions
were fair and the way in which the
Perth Amboys were treated was very
sportsmanlike. The losers do not
admit all the claims of the South
Amboy lads and are sorry at the way
the local players acted even If the
umpfre's decisions were strained in
their opinion.

Fish Tales


II was a slack day on the water
yesterday in the fishing line, hardly
a boat going out. Many who started
out came back on account of the
appearance of the sky, which gave
indications of a storm. A few went
out this morning on the early tide,
but reported no catches of any great
amount.
William Hill, A. P. Helgerson, Ed.
Simonson and L. Larson went fishing
Sunday morning from Sewaren. They
were out about two hours and a half
when they caught thirty-two weak
fish, seven fuke, four bluefsh and
five porgies. Mr.. Larson's boat is
always ready to take out a fishing
party.
Robert ~Jefferies, of Roosevelt, was
a guest of Wesley Hall Saturday and
Sunday, They went fishing Saturday
night, getting eight weakfsh.
Reports of good fishing in Prince
Bay are received almost daily. One
Of the largest catches heard of So
far this season is that of Lieutenant
John Bergerman, Of the Ninety
ninth precinct station, Tottenville
who with his son, Walter Bergerman.
and Arthur and Reuben Daggett, Jr.
Of Richmond Valley. landed 155
weakfsh off Stark's Raritan Bay
hotel, at the foot Of Beach street
Yesterday afternoon. If the squal
had not come up at that time the
party would probably have landed a
many more. They were forced Il
