LARGE RECEIPTS YESTERDAY
INDICATE THAT BUSINESS
MEN ARE SEEKING TO DODGE
THE PENALTY.

Many persons sought the city
clerks and comptroller's Offices yester-
day, to pay up their license taxes, and
as a result the receipts from this
source easily figured into the several
thousands last evening upon the clos
ing of the city hall. In fact three
saloon proprietors alone swelled the
receipts to $4,000, for each of them
paid into the city treasury one-third
of the amount named.
With today, there remains but four
days in which the. licenses may be
paid without the added penalty. All
not paid before the hour of closing
Saturday afternoon will be charged
up with a heavy penalty.

the first hour weakness developed in
spots, but otherwise the market held
up fairly well until heaviness appeared
among the railroads. Then the whole

War stocks were most vulnerable to
pressure, as was to be expected in
view OF their protracted rise. The de-
cline was orderly, however, with no
evidence Of urgent or excited selling.
Sentiment was not greatly affected by
the change in the tenor of trading. aud
the recession was ascribed generally
to alteration Of viewpoint concerning
the position Of the market. In con-

II was thought quite necessary and
proper to spend good money for colored
flares and for horns. flies and other

became patent to the few citizens that
had stayed at home that the Putnam

very correct and proper surmise.
Putnam did win-an thinning con-
test that looked lost to the locals in
the early stages of the pastime, but
which, through the many ups and
downs of fortune and misfortune for
each team and the final steadying of
the local aggregation, finally developed
into q hard-won and glorious victory,

baseball excitement than Putnam has
known in the past 20 years. Local
fans who had the courage to back the
team with their cash as well as their
opinions came home with a nice little

needless to say, were supremely hap
py.
The winning of the Southbridge Sc
