The Morgan Horse.

Everyone that takes an interest in
that noble animal the horse should
see Sumner Sherburne's Morgan colt.
in Pomfret. We can say that it is
as fine specimen Of the breed as
we have seen for long time. He
shows in his looks his breeding as
every fine animal does.
1t is found that it is mistake
letting the Morgans die out, as for
general business purposes no better
horse can be found.
Breeders see their mistake and
are now trying TO breed back the
Morgans. II is believed Mr.. Sher-
burne's colt will help to. do so.

Bodie had been able to run he would
have scored on Mattick's bingle and
the latter could have counted on the

In the third Ping drove a run
home with a single, but got tangled
in his own feet rounding first base
and was stabbed out before he could
scramble back.
Why not give Fourier a chance at
that left field. Jack may be rough in
fielding, but he can learn. When he
was removed from first base he was
in the midst of a batting streak, and
knows which end of his anatomy to
run on.

much chance to pull out a victory
after Bob Groom frightened on the
Sox batters in the fourth, but an err
ror really caused the upset, Buck
Weaver making wild chuck over
Chase's dome when he had no
chance to get a runner. Buck has
made numerous boots lately, but he
made up for them by his willingness
to go after anything. Eastern critics
are surprised at the fire and dash of
the Sox youngster, who is not wor-
ried by an occasional error and con-
tinues to pull sensational plays daily.
Take it from anyone who has seen
Buck in daily action, he is some i'm
proved baIlplayer. Batting, where
he was supposedly weak, is now one
of his strong points and he is almost
inside the 800 circle.

WILSON AND NEWSPAPER MEN.

There is g. good story told of how President Wilson and the newspaper correspondents at Washington sgot to- gether'' so closely and cordially as they have. Twice a week the Presi- dent holds a. conference with the news paper men. Usually 50 of them stand about him and shoot questions at him. They keep him on the jump, but there is cordiality everywhere. They un- derstand him. They know he is sim cere. He tells them things in confi- dence that of course never are seen in print until he gives the word.
 But when he first went to live at the White House the meetings with the newspaper men were formal, stiff affairs with figuratfve ice everywhere. Secretary .Tunulty thawed the ice away. Governor" he called out to the President, these men are roast ing you" The governor was inter ested at once, and in the quick ex- change of talk that followed got next to the newspaper men and they got 'next" to him.
 Now they are close friends. He speaks frankly when he can, and when he can't he says SO. Through the Washington correspondents the country gets it's idea of just what sort of a-1nan the President is / Hence it

BUTCHERS ELECT OFFICERS AND
 THEN BANQUET
H. E. Mayer of Bridgeport Is New President, and J. E.
 Porter Trustee

The delegates to the convention of
 the Master Butchers Association of
 Connecticut. were the guests of
 Bridgeport local last night and they
 were right royalty entertained.
 The afternoon session was devoted to business and the election of off cers. The presidency came to Bridge port again and H. B. Mayer was chosen to that office. The remaining officers are Seymour Kashman of
 Hartford, first vice-president; W. R. Bailey of New Haven, second vice. president; Arthur Tennant of New Haven secretary and Charles F. W1ss- ert of New Haven, treasurer. The new trustees are w. R. Bailey of New Haven: T. G Porter of Bridgeport; B. B. Phillips of Hartford and J. Ansell of Meriden.
 Some of the delegates did not reach town until the business session was over but in time, however. for the banquet One car load went to Fair field, having been rnisdirected. A part of the handsome dining room of the Fairfield was screened off for the fifty butchers and their guests. President Mayer was the toastmaster and he made good. Mayor Clifford B. Wilson came in late and hungry but was allowed to take on part of his supplies before he was called on to speak. The menu indicated that the butchers do not intend to encourage sparsity on the table for it contained about everything obtatnable in this section.
 Each Of the new officers was called on for a speech. Charles Bt1tz, one of the. oldest members, was as humor- ous as ever. Loren Delbrfdge, Deputy Sheriff Joseph Wie1er, and. of course. the inin1ftab1e Matt W1e1er. were heard in solos grave and gay.
 The committee in charge of the af- fair was composed of F. w. Behreus. chairman: Mark NagIe, John Porter c. F. Biltz and Fred Helbfg. They were each obliged to say something but the groan1ng tables made any further remarks unnecessary. The members of the entertaining committee received much commenda ton for their good work4 Two hours were required ito dispose of the eatab1es and drinkab1es after which the assernblage' was divided into small parties and entertained by mem I 1oers of the Bridgeport local fin differ ent parts of the city. Some of the visitors are fin town today.
 The Fairfield was demonstrated tc
 be the right place for such an affair When the Improvements and additions now in progress are completed it will foner many advantages not possessed 1 by any other city in the state. The dining room was cool and attractive the service excellent and the food abundant and well prepared.
