The institute work was in charge o.
w. G.. Bradley, who was assisted by
John lmrie, both of st. Croix Co., anC
by d. f. Bingham of Sturgeon Bay
Mr.. Bradley and Mr. Imrie confined
their talks to oairy farming, while Mr.
Bingham spoke along horticultural
lines. The attendance at all sessions
was very good, and a great deal of In
terest was taken in every subject that
was brought up. As Mr.. Bradley said,
he probably could tell those present
nothing new, but in coming together
and talking things over every one has
a chance to pick up some facts and
ideas new at least to them.

New York, July l0.-Whether it was
the heat or the published suggestion that
he might retire as candidate for the
presidency, Theodore Roosevelt was de-
cidedly peevish yesterday. He came
into town to work for a while at his
regular job of contributing editor OF
The 0utlook-he is preparing an article
on "Thou Shalt Not Steal"
When his attention was called to a
published story that he and President
Taft are to be asked by petitions now
being circulated, to retire from politics
for the present campaign, he became
angry and snapped out:
you must not ask me about so pre-
posterous and self-evident fake. As
a matter of fact | have nothing to say
about that or anything else
The colonel then retired to his sane
tum and slammed the door behind him.
During the day he held conference

party in Georgia. He also talked things

SUNSET LEAGUE GAMES.
Graniteville and Blue Sox Were Winners
Last Evening.

BY winning last night at Williams
town, the Barre Blue Sox still retain
berth, No. 2, in the championship race
of the Sunset league and from all IN
dications seem to be the team which is
to give the Graniteville A. C. a tussle
for the high honors. For the past few
weeks the Barre team has been running
very smoothly. The leaders have lost
but single game and are showing their
superiority over all teams but the Blue
Sox.
The Blue Sox game at Williamstown
last night vas won by the Barre team
in the last inning. Earl Williams, the
former Spaulding pitcher, was doing
duty for the Barre team, and when he
came to bat in the final round he
cracked out a ripping two-bagger. VIII
liam Given proved to be the man Of
the hour and brought Williams around
with slashing single, making the score
stand 6 to g. McAllister was the pitch
er opposing the Blue Sox. The honors
of the slab men were about evenly d.
.vided. Williams was touched up Tor
eight hits and McAllister for seven.
The game was featured by two of
the most sensational catches ever maze
on the grounds. Eddie Mckay of the
Barre team and Little of the Williams
town team were the contributors.
Early in the game Mckay made his
play, it being beautiful running catch.
Little startled the crowd by pulling
ball down from over his shoulder while
on the dead run. Robertson played
good game both in the field and ut the
bat
At Graniteville the hill lads continued
their winning streak and ltl an easy
time OF it. They pounded Beaton, the
Italian Athletic club pitcher, unmereifnl-
ly. The score was 10 to 2. Gilfllian
was on the mound for the winners and
had wonderful control, pulling out clev-
erly whenever men were eamped ON the
bags. Godfrey made wonderful run
ming catch OF Soldini's Texas leaguer.
He ran away back into lett field from
third base and picked the ball while
travelling at his best. BY craft the
