The annual picnic of the Methodist
Sunday school held last Thursday at
Perkins Landing made the largest
party taken out by the Steamer
Lady of the Lake in years. Four
hundred seventy-six tickets were sold
for the morning trip and so many
went down the lake on the afternoon
trip that upon her return the steame r
was loaded nearly to her capacity of
$50 and reached Newport over an hour
late. The picnic of itself was a de
cided success as these affairs have
grown to be and the trip on the lake
was as pleasant as the GOODNESS of the
weather would allow. The pleasure
of the return trip was somewhat
marred by the serious illness of Miss
Sadie Crowley of West Derby, who
became unconscious and upon landing
was taken home in an ambulance.

Deposition
Barton,

There is no county in Vermont,
indeed, hardly town in the state, OR
a state in the Union, that does not
make deposits in the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank.
The unprecedented growth of that
institution is the result of two things:
first, confidence; second, satisfaction
with its management.
Every body is well treated at that
bank and everybody is satisfied.
Ask your neighbor who deposits
there and see if he does not vouch
for the truthfulness Of this state
ment.

COLORADO E. COMING BACK.
Famous Trotter Will Once More Go
Down the Circuit.

Much is expected by George H. Esta-
brook OF Colorado L. the coming sea-
son. After year in retirement prepa-
ratiOnS are being made to send the
clever tsotter back to the grand circuit
to battle with the free for alters. Col
orado e, is now five years old and hav-
ing a fast record he will find the going
rather rough. From all accounts Col
orado e. could trot all halves in SO
seconds after a few weeks of training
late last fall. Gus Macy did not
string him much, but the colt was
timed several halves in one minute
fiat. If after a season in the stud he
could show that flight Of speed, it is,
only reasonable to expect that Colorado
e. will be able to hold his own in the
fast classes this season.
Colorado e. will most likely be en-
tered in the free for all trotting sweep
stakes at the North Randall meeting
this year and will meet such trotters as
Billy Burk, 2.03 "a, Joan, 2.04 IA,
Charley Mitchell, 2.04 IA, Willy, 2.05,
and others. Just how fast a record
Colorado E. will earn the coming sea-
son is problematical, but with racing
luck many believe that the three year
old star of 1910 viii take a record close
to 2.02 this year. In addition to Col
orado E, Macy is preparing trotters
and PAGERS for nearly every stake from
the two year old division to the an
tiques. In the latter the 16 year old
Country Jay will be the stables repre-
sentative. Among the candidates that
have shown the most thus far are Gold
Dollar (6), zoo IA, by Pulvis; Lille
W., green trotter, seven years old, by
Simmoneer; Redlock, 2.17 IA, seven
year old trotter, by Anderson Wilkes;
The Wanderer, seven year old greer
trotting gelding, by The Tramp, dam
Sorrento; c. The Limit 2,04 IA, PAGER,
by Searchlight; Denver Jay, nine year
old green PAGER, by Stambrose; and
Country Jay, 2.05 IA, the 16 year old
trotting gelding, the most unique trot-
ter living. With this aggregation Of
high priced equines it is to be hoped
that the Estabrook colors are to be

Room In The {. c. Baseball League
Putnam Has Made Application And Others May Come in at
Next Meeting = Taftvile, Waregan Moosup, and
Jewett City Have Already Acknowledgements at Jewett
City Sunday.

If there are any baseball teams in
this section that want to get into the
Eastern Connecticut Baseball league
for the coming season, now is their
time, and they want to speak right up.
Sunday afternoon at Jewett City the
magnates of the teams from Waure-
gan, Moosup, Jewett City and Taft
vile are to come together in Jewett
City for meeting, these four having
already entered the league, and Presi-
dent J. B. Benoit has had an applica-
ton from Putnam.
The Centrals Of Norwich and the
Tri-Village team still have a chance
to get in by sending Delegates to this
meeting, which will be called at $50
Sunday afternoon, and any other
teams that desire to be counted in
should send their representative to

With four clubs, it is believed that
the season would be a success, but the
officers and managers would be well
satisfied to see it made up into six
club league, as it has been in proceed
ing seasons.

FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL.
PROFESSIONAL TRADING.
Prominent Stocks Recover Sharply on
Larger Volume of Business.

New York, Feb. 2s.-Apart from an
extensive covering movement by the
short interest, which effected very
sharp recovery in such prominent
stocks as Union Pacific, Reading, and
United States Steel, the stock market
today differed only slightly in salient
features from the early days of the
week. Trading was on a larger scale,
but no less professional than before.
The strength OF United States Steel
was perhaps the more noteworthy be-
cause of the severe arraignment of
that corporation at the hands of ex-
-perts employed by the Stanley investi-
eating committee. In substance, the
So called billion dollar trust" was
charged with sitting competition, dom
nation Of the trade, excessive capital
ization and inflated values of the many
plants taken over by it. In point of
fact, however, and Judging from tht
course of the market as a whole, the
effect of the report seemed to have
Leen discounted.
In the minor issues there was no lit
tie activity in Central Leather pre-
ferred, which declined abruptly, pre-
sumably as a result Of the company's
financial exhibit for the past year as
disclosed at the annual meeting. A
deficit Of slightly more than $4,000 900
was reported. an increase in that item
Of almost $1,000, 900 over 1910. This
showing makes more remarkable the
declaration Of the regular dividend on
the preferred stock only the day before.
marlborough Metropolitan issues
were very active and strong following
the presentation to the public service
commission Of a new offer by the trac-
ton company. Specifically, at least,
the terms offered differ in no essential
degree from those which have been I'M
der consideration since last summer
Officials of the company expressed the
opinion that an early acceptance of
their latest offer is highly probable
but this feeling is not shared by those
who are qualified to speak for the
commission.
AS a matter OF fact, the most potent
factor of the day was the news receiv-
cd In private cables from abroad. which
indicated an early agreement respect
ing the threatened coal strike in Great
Britain These advices were not borne
ont. however, by official statements,
which reported a continuance of the
deadlock The market attained it's
greatest activity in the last hour, and
although prices shaded somewhat from
the top, there were many material net
gains. In fact, all the more important
issues closed at considerable advances,
declines being almost entirely confined
to stocks of secondary character. Just
before the end American Tobacco broke
six points.
Increasing tension in the Mexican
situation as reported from Washington,
another large shipment of gold to
South America for Paris account, and
continued drain on local banks were
among the news items Of the day.

very moderate trading. Total sales par

Miller apparently had little relish

by Sparkling and English, two local
runners Martin and his friends were

l should go to Orange lake and train

There were only about a dozen

we arrived at the lake. all very socia-

Driven to Be a Fighter.

Many and varied have been the ways
in which the boxers Of today have
broken into the game, but one that ap-
pears to be rather funny was the ad
vent into the ring sport of One Round
Hogan, the California lightweight, who
occupies a very prominent place in the
lightweight scramble at the present
time Hogan, like Jimmy Britt, was
a plumbers helper, and while ne rather
liked boxing, he had little desire to
become a fighter. One day business
in the plumbing line was rather quiet
and Hogan had to hang around the
shop. THE boss was a funny man."

unless he saw you doing something.

advice they took, and Martin and his
friends remained at the hoter till late
that night, opening VINE to celebrate
the races that never were run.
The following night I accompanied
Wild Dave, the hostler, to Walden, in
search of a race. Dave owned a trot-
ter which was once a running horse.
with a record of I'm. sos, and this
horse he drove, hitched to a sort of
blackboard.
We did not make match at Wal
den, but Dave got outside of lots of
bugjuice and, ence away from Walden,
he uttered a yell like a Comanche,
and struck the horse, which started off
on a dead run, covering the ground
with the speed of a locomotive.
l enjoyed the exhilarating speed for
a few minutes, but my position was
becoming uncomfortable. and my arm
was growing numb from clingiug to

USELESS THROWING.
1t Ruins More Good Wings Than Any
Other One Thing.


Useless throwing ruins more ball
players than any one thing declared
Manager Bob Wallace, whose 16 years
OF sterling service on the diamond put
him In a position TO judge accurately,
writes Harry Nelly.
Loss of the good right arm is the
bugbear of the men who play the ma
tional game" the Browns manager
continued. ''How many times you see
an indelder cutting loose hard throws
when he might just as wall have tossed
the ball easily. 1t looks nice to see
the swift stuff, but it gets you moth
ing.
Il have found working out slowly
the best plan. never hurry a throw
on slow runner, either. In the
practice before the game, if man
warns up gradually and then cuts
loose hard throw at the finish, just
to see if the old stuff is there, he isn't
going to ruin his throwing arm half
as quickly as the fellow who makes
every throw at top speed.
Hugh Jennings and Tuck Turner
present two fine examples of athletes
who cast away their throwing ability
needlessly. When the old orioles in
field was at its best the warming up
practice was fully as enjoyable as the
pepper, never made an easy peg. He
put the ball across the diamond with
the old zipp stuff until there came a
time when he could no longer throw
with his accustomed speed. Then he
went to first base, at that time con-
sidered the old mans home. Jennings
today can cover lot of ground and
he can hit. but when he practices with
the Tigers he jerks the ball underhand-
ed. His arm is gone.
Needless throwing robbed the Cleve-
land club of a pennant in 1903, the year
that Detroit, the Maps, the White Sox
and the Browns had such a merry
struggle. Tuck Turner, shortstop, new
er conserved lis energies, and there
came a time when he, Ike Jennings,
could no longer whip the ball over

the boss thought was ink was some
thing else. and, at that, it was within
reach of him. That amt ink, said
|. 1t is said the boss, and with that
he took swat at me. To the boss
surprise, l fought back, and in min
ute had him flattened on the floor. -
Needless to say, Hogan had to quit
his job, and, in fact, he had to quit
the city for a while. The first place
he struck was Salt Lake, and at the
time the boxing game was going good
Hogan asked for match, got one with
q big fellow, and in his desperation to
make good he won in round. In his
following II fights in the same city
Hogan flattened his opponents in a
round apiece, and it was there he won
the name One Round.
