pears likely to repeat and carry of

The plans Of the New York Athletic
club are dark, but that j. always the
case until the annual meeting. when

The Hockey club team should show

hardly ranks with the other teams as

the other teams turn over some extra

TROLLEY AS FARM AID.
Michigan Electric Lines Aided In Dis-
POSING Of Fruit.

Michiuan Electric Lines AIDED In Dis
posing Of Fruit.
The advantage Of handling big crops
of fruit BY the trolley lines was Illus
trated In the lower peninsula of Mich
fgan In 1911 TO an extent never before
realized. Had 1t not been for the
electric lines OF two Of the states
handling this class OF traffic the dis
posal Of the apple, peach. pear and
other crops would have met with loss.
Only a couple OF years ago there
was but one line Of electric railway
hauling fruit out of BerrieR county
orchards to the steamship docks at
Benton Harbor Now there are about
half q dozen. Some of the lines rush
trains or fruit from points west OF.
EIkhart, Ind. to the steamboat docks
If Benton Harb0r These points are
over 100 miles from Chicago. the great
est market Of the entire region Con
signments Of fruit leave the orchards
late In the afternoon and are loaded
into express cars aud fat cars with
Grated ends and sides. Trains are run
on fast time and stop only TO pick up
fruit. aud from certain points they do
not stop for any purpose. AT Benton
Harbor the fruit packages are loaded
on great side wheel steamers and car
ried through the cooling atmosphere
Of Lake Michigan. reaching Chicago
about ] a. IN. From the Chicago docks
the big supply intended for consump-
ton In d city Of over 100000 people
il distributed early III the forenoon.
But Chicago does not begin TO take
all OF the fruit produced by the great
orchards Of two states Millions OF
packages are shipped off over most Of
the twenty-five different railroads ra-
dating from the city. They are haul
ed from the docks to the depots and
there are given 70 the express compa-
MES operating on the railroads. 1t is
at this point that the advantage OF
shipping across the lake comes III.
Had most OF these shipments been sent
By rail the cars could not have been
given 10 the belt line In time to con
meet with tie outgoing trains in the
morning, and thus serious damage TO
fast ripening fruit might have been
done. The steamboat company could
not have got the products Of distant
orchards had 1t not been for the rapid
electric lines, so that It is only by Il
combination or the work Of three diff
ferent means Of transportation that It
has been possible TO market phenome-
nally Zig crops Of fruit. The rate of
the entire electric and lake haul is not
more than the cost Of one direct ship
ment by rail TO the same point and In
some instances II Il less,
Another advantage Of shipping fruit
by electric lines il that refrigeration
