No. 2-The Trance Medium.
.N/OU have doubtless noticed the
little classified advertisements
of spiritualistic mediums invit-
ing you to come and speak with the
dead-price 25 and so cents. They
run something like this:
SPIRITUALIST-S Special trance
meetings; spirit messages, ma
terializations Tuesday and Sat-
urday evenings at s; fnspira-
tional talks. Mrs. S., 18th st.
Together with a friend I journeyed
one evening to Mrs. S.. No pass
word was needed to enter the sacred
shrine. but the presentation of a
shining half dollar gained US well
come admittance.
Eighteen or twenty people were
anxiously waiting. All but two were
women, and from the appearance of
the guests they could well have used
their 80 cents to better advantage.
The gifted medium herself was soon
pointed out to us-a plain, rather
shrewd faced frowsy- haired woman,
who smiled beamingly in the direc-
ton of the money plate.
You may place something on the
| table If you desire" we were told.
| My friend being uninitiated, did not
| know that II is customary to place
some article to recall the spirit you
desire. For instance, on the table in
the front Of the room were flowers,
rings, pins and two or three sealed
| envelopes.
At precisely o'clock the lights
were partly lowered. Mrs. s. stood
directly berfore the table, and pre-
sumably the spirits entered, for grad
ually her face began to puff and push
as though St. Vitus himself had TAX
en- possession, and her body wriggled
and Convulsed like a dancers in a
Coney Island side show. This seemed
to make quite an impression on the
people Then she spoke in jerky
tones, addressing her eager audience.
THE spirit friends are very happy
tonight. There are very many
around They all seem anxious to
speak AS I lift this article l have a
most dizzy feeling" she gurgled mys-
teriously. Il don't know just what
it means, but 1t is as though death
we're associated with it. To whom
does it belong?"
The System.
A tall woman, heavily built, clad in
deep black, raised her hand.

Carrying His Fuel.

Two Irishmen were crossing the
ocean on the way to America. On the
voyage Pat died. Preparations We're
made for the burial at sea, but the
lead weights customarily used in such
cases We're lost, and chunks of coal
We're substituted. Everything was
finally ready for the last rites, and
long and earnestly did Michael look
at his friend. Finally he blurted out,
sorrowfully:

goin' there, but I'm hanged if I
thought they'd make We carry yer own

MOTORCYCLE RACES
 AT FAIR GROUNDS TODAY.
Eight We'll Known Riders Promise
 Excitement in Open Events.

This afternoon is the date of the motorcycle racing meet at the fair grounds, and the promoters estimate that at least 5000 will witness the ex- hibitions of speed
 Tubbs' band will furnish music from the opening hour at o'clock until the termination Of the final race.
 The track announced to be in splendid CC -0n for record breaking feats. All riders are eager for the crack of the starters pistol starting the duel for supremacy.
 The complete roster of entries for the open events is as follows: Carroll of Springfield, Pallazzo of Newburg, N. r., Steiner of Philadelphia, Latham of Lebanon, Driscoll of Hartford, Walsh of Springfield, Brown of Worcester, Cornwall of Worcester.
 It will be readily perceived from the above list of entries that the meet is as classy a motorcycle racing meet as has been conducted in Connecticut for some moons.
 Ted Carroll, the Springfield candidate for leading motorcycle rider, is anxious to establish several new records, so that his name will reverberate down the motorcycle hall of fame
 Wild Bill Burdick is anxious to at tach the redskin sign to Carroll and he will be presented with a grand op pOrtunity this afternoon.
 At the last meet a disabled machine prevented Carroll from competing in more than one race. For today's meet he will have three machines. so that there will be no necessity of his with draWaI
 Pallazzo the rider from Newburg N. T., can be depended upon to push Carroll and Burdick to the final notch. He rode creditably a the last meet but met with hard luck This time he hopes the jinx has become weary of pursuing him and will permit him to demonstrate that he is in the same category as Carroll.
 Garand, the entry from Providence, may work the dark horse act and leave Norwich with leading honors concealed in his kit Brown, the rider from Worcester, is another who should be well with the leaders in the final dashes.
 George Latham. the Lebanon rider, is eager to prove that he is just as good a motorcyclist as Bill Burdick of Norwich He hopes to retrieve his laurels this afternoon.
 Cornwall captain of the Worcester. Motorcycle club, will likely figure in
