cumstances which led him to breed Anvil. l..

cumstances which led him to breed Anvil.
 About 10 years ago a canny Canadi- an came across the border with a mare called Amy Smith, concerning whose speed he told marvellous tales and for which he was anxious to find a buyer with the disposition to pay stiff price for her. Amy had no record had never heard the bell ring, in the iphraseology of the turf-but she was recommended as sure winner of the next M. and M. if she was pointed for it. Jones bought her, but when Amy. was introduced to the matinees and was asked to pull a wagon around the track in company with half dozen other trotters. which, on the basis of able to step rings around, she dis closed a rooted aversion to the pastime. This aversion took the form of wild and unrestrainabla procEvity for what was technically known among railbirds as balloon ascensions-to wit, fren- zied series of tremendous leaps into and through the upper ether, marvellous to behold, so far as the onlookers were concerned but very disquieting, not to say perilous, to the occupant of he wagon behind her.
 This trait grew worse and worse. but it was a long time before Jonss would give up and acknowledge that, the canny Canadian had handed him an artistically gilded gold brick. and he spent several seasons in fruitless endeavors to prove that Balloon Bessie was a race mare ere he finally aban- doned the task in despair
 At this time MT. Jones had in his stable a trotting stallion familiarly known as Chalky, but raced under the much more impressive cognomen of St. Valient Vincent. Some seasons prevl- ously the Memphis man had possessed another trotting stallion named Joy maker. This horse was good to look upon and possessed great speed, but
 his prime speciality was not joy bu. trouble making, in which occupation he was well nigh unexcelled. After long series of escapades such as are
 not indulged in by race horses of re-
 Spectability,~ he capped the climax by running away with Ed Geers one day,
 throwing him out of the sulky and
 shattering that veterans much shatter-
 ed anatomy in so many new places that he was several months getting it.mend- ed, the most of which he spent in bed.
 It was then concluded that Joymaker
 had made trouble enough in the Jones family and he was traded for ChalKy, with the Messrs. Darforth of Wash ington, H., and repaid them for their enterprise in securing him by dying upon their hands within few weeks, I~thereby proving that arnony trotterS IS among men there comes a time when the wicked do cease from troubling. At that period Chalky was promising young horse, unacquafnted with the racing game. but showing symptoms of acquiring facility at 1t. The first sea- son that MT Jones owned hirn he drcve

were in~a measure reconstructed bs the dropping of players and the substl- tuting of members of the defunct Northampton and Holyoke teams.
 President Tracy Gives Up.
 The latter part of the season also brought the expressed intention or President Tracy, who has headed the league in it's ups and downs for. five years, to resign the office and have nothing more to do with league base ball. His reasons were that the own CTS were thinking only of their own pocketbooks and that he was unable to discipline either players or mana gers for infractions of rules. In his interviews he has expressed the opin- ion that the man for the position is the present secretary of the league, James O'Rourke, of Bridgeport.
 Umpires Travelled Rocky Road.
 As is usual in the Connecticut 1eague.7 there was trouble with the umpires from the start, and one after another fell by the way until at the close of the season there was almost an en-. tirely new lot
 The Bridgeport team, which came so near winning the pennant, was sold at the close of last season by O'Rourke. who had owned it for several years to Gene McCann, and it's work has been marked from the opening of the sea- son. The failure of the Hartford team, which had probably the highest paid players, is a keen disappointment to the followers of that team.
 High Prices Through Sales.
 The season has also been marked by the sale of players at exceedingly high prices The most noticeable among them were the sales of Marsans and Almedia of the New Britain team; Brown of Waterbury, who started the season with New Britain; High of the Hartford team, and Reisig1 of the New Haven team. Almeida and Marsans left at once on being purchased by the Cincinnati Nationals and have seem ingly made good.
 Next Year Problem.
 The construction of the league for, the season of 1912 is at this time problema ticaI. Whethsr or not it will be opened with the present six teams or whether there will be eight is in no way settled. There has been talk of putting a team in Meriden and one in New London. The experiment has been tried in both cities and proved financially unprofitable but efforts will however probably be made to make it an eight team league:
 The standing of the teams is as fol-. lows:

Fancy Sheep

Northern Aizona is one of the best countries for the raising of sheep that can be found anywhere in the country. At the present time we have some of the best grade of sheep in this part of the country that you could see any where. The finest lot that was ever called to the attention of the writer was the other day, a bunch of Ramboulettes, Morino bucks, the property of Spellmire & Lyons, who have made study of this fa- nous brand of sheep and who have the best stock of their kind in this section of the country. Last fall, without the remotest intention of winning prizes, these gentlemen exhibited number of their sheep at the Albuquerque Fair and were awarded first prize, a beautiful cup, with inscription, which the gentlemen value very highly, and are pleased to show to their friends. It is the intention of Messrs. Spell mire & Lyons to take some of their best stock to the Phoenix Fair this year, instead of the Fair at Albuquerque, and no doubt their stock will be among the most popular in the line of sheep. - Winslow Mail.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
tsy J. A. Riokart, correspondeno


 I8.-The cattle market made a brave finish last week, recovering the loss of the first three days of the week by the close Friday. This did not count for much last week, as three fourths of h e weeks supply came in before prices started to advance. But it counts to-day, the run of 2I 1000 head here selling strong to TO higher than Friday, and little above a week ago. The outlet for beef is smaller than year ago, as the total supply at the Western markets last week was I7o, ,ooo, against 228,oo same week last year, and yet prices are a little lower this year than last on most of the cattle. All the markets are moderately supplied to-day, some shippers holding back at Chicago in lear of the Jewish holiday Fri day of this week, when the Jews all over the world quit eating meat for day or two. It cuts quite a figure in the market. Pasture men in Kansas and Oklahoma are still holding back this week, though dealers look for good run the next few days ahead. Del Har- baugh, the big Nebraska feeder, had his second shipment here to- day, at the top of the market, S7.o5. Each shipment is the tail end of the feed lot, contrary to the usual system. Short fed natives sell at S5,75 to S7.25, native grass steers $500 to S7.25, western grass steers, including Colorados and Wyomings, s4.6o to 5000, native cows $500 to $ .oo, top heifers to-day S7.oo, bulls S3.oo to S4.z5, veal calves SITS, for best, stockers S3. so to $. 50, feeders S4. .25 to S6. Cattle direct from the Western rangers are not coming freely, as year ago. Panhandle cows sell at S3.25 to S4.Io. Quarantine re- ceipts are dropping off, 100 cars here to-day, steers little higher than a week ago, at S4. .oo to S. 60, cows s3 % to S4.5o veals S7.5o.
 Hog receipts show a fair in- crease over this period year ago, but are still not large enough to permit packers to pound the mar ket continuously. Occasionally there is day or two of strength, but this is not one of them, sales to-day 5 to 10 lower than the close of last week. Prices decline IS cents last week, net. Run is 6ooo here to-day, top s7.o5 bulk of sales S6.75 to S6.o5, which is the lowest place they have occupied in a long time, about two dollars under a year ago. Fresh meat demand is good, but general sem timent looks for luther declines.
 Lambs remained on rock bottom the first half of last week, until receipts dropped down to almost nothing, when they began to rise. Aged sheep have held up better than lambs, being in smaller sup ply. Mutton has been selling to consumers cheaper than beef or pork, thereby attracting n e W patrons. The widened outlet, and smaller receipts at the mar kets quickly brought an advance in prices of live animals, and the run of I2, ,ooo here to-day is sell ing 25 to 40 cents higher than the middle of last week. Top lambs brought 5000 to-day, from Utah, three lots at that figure,
