MOORE's RECORD GONE.

New York, July 21.-Douglas
Conklin of Huntington, L. l., who
is president of the Bank of Hunt
ington, had an experience on the
links of the Huntington Golf club
which comes to few players.
Mr.. Conklin was playing a round
with Theron Sammisa, Huntington
lawyer, and both made drive from
a tee for the next hole, $50 yards
distant. Mr.. Sammisa's ball was
found without difficulty, but both
men and their caddies spent nearly
an hour searching for the bank
presidents ball.
The hunt was unsuccessful until
one of the caddieS CHANGED TO look
into the hole where the ball was
found. The $50 yard drive had
been made and the ball holed in
one stroke.

get two or more of his pitchers going
their best again at the same time and
keep them going he has a healthy
chance of coming out on top.

ASK FOR RE-HEARING|
WHISTLES CAN BLOW
but NOT TOO MUCH

Brunswicks manufacturing plants
can blow their whistles whenever they
want to--Or rather when they should
be blown, but none OF these plants are
going to be permitted to let some man
pull the whistle wide open early in
the morning or late at night or any
other time, and simply hold down the
string and let the whistle blow as loud
and as long as hedea1res.
Recently much complaint has been
filed with the city about the unneces-
sary blowing of Whistles. No com
plant was made about any one paa
ticular plant, but it was stated that
some one of these plants had adopted
the habit of blowing loud whistle
for fully half an hour or longer about
O'Clock i'll the morning After an
investigation had been made Chief
Owens was instructed to serve notice
on these plants that they could blow
their whistles at work hours in the
morning, and at any other hours when
necessary, but not to permit their
watchmen or anyone else to keep the
whistles blowing continuously.
This brought forth a report that

SHRIMP PLANTS
ARE HARD At WORK
ALL THREE OF THEM CUNNING
CREASE FOR PRODUCT.

The full benefits of Brunswick s
three shrimp factories are now being
felt by the merchants and the people
of the city generally, as all three of
the plants, probably for the first time
since they were completed, are runf-
ming on full time.
The past week, it is understood, has
been the largest since the plants be-
gan operation, and thousands of cans
of shrimp have been put up by all of
them. 1t was stated yesterday that
one of these plants had paid out in
buying. shrimp and in their payroll
more than 1880 for the week, and it
is probable that the other two plants
have expended an equal amount. This
money, as is well known is generally
distributed among the shrimp fisher
men, to employees of the factories and
others. and these heavy payrolls were
probably for the unusual amount of
business noted in the city yesterday.
Brunswick did great thing when
she landed these three shrimp factor
les, and their business is growing
steadily, the demand is daily increas
ing and the run of shrimp is said to
be very satisfactory

that there was no necessity for him
to hurry before reaching a decision, as
it would be several months before
the new governor took office. Mr..
Gambler also made it plain that he
was not seeking an office of any kind

| the city had prohibited the blowing of
whistles in the city; that managers
of two or three of the plants were in
dignant and that they could not op-
crate unless their plant whistles were
used, etc
In order to get the straight of it,
News reporter sought Mayor Hop
kins last night and he said that no
such orders had been given. He
stated that considerable complaint had
been made to him recently concerning
the continuous blowing of one or two
whistles in the city and that the chief
OF police was instructed to notify all
plants to prohibit this AS far as for
bidding the blowing of whistles at all.
the mayor said, no such orders had
been given. "The plants can blow their
whistles whenever they desire" he
said, but this useless, continuous
blowing is what we want to stop, and
there should be no objection to it."
he continued.
So, it will be seen, the report cir
culated that all plants had been noti-
fled to discontinue their whistles al
together is erroneous.

MANAGER To Be
SIGNED, WORK TO
Be STARTED On
BASEBALL PARK
BRUNSWICK TO GET IN READ
MESS EARLY THIS WEEK
FOR BEGINNING OF BASE
BALL SEASON.

This will be rather busy week
with the Brunswick Baseball associa-
ton, as the question of definitely de-
Gliding upon manager for the coming
season will be taken up. and num-
Der of players will be signed and act
i've work will probably be started on
improvements TO be made at the ball
park. The question of manager is
one that has received serious thought
at the hands of the directo ). An
plicatiOns have been received from
half dozen well-known ball players
who have been highly recommended,
and the directors have gone slow in
making a decision. as they seem to
realize that the success of any ball
club depends, to a great extent, on the
manager. However, as has been pre-
viOusly stated. Wade Reynolds seems
to be the choice of the association
and if he agrees to the proposition
kins yesterday, he will be elected A
decisionu from him is expected tomor-
row
The ball park will be placed in a
first-class condition before the prac-
tice season. Manager Mendes, of the
street car company, has agreed to put
the grandstand in first-class condition.
New wire will be placed in front of
the stand and other improvements
made. The association will at once
put a force to work on cleaning the
outfield and clearing the diamond
Considerable work is to be done on
the park and it is the intention of the
association to have all of this work
completed before the beginning of the
training season on April ~
Letters have been received from a
large number of ball players in all
sections Of the country and, while con
tracts have been mailed to one or two
OF them, the signing OF club has
been left for the manager 1t is not
intended this season to bring a bunch
of unknown and inexperienced men
here for the training season at a heavy
expense, but only those who are
known or who are well recommended
will be signed for tryout.
Now that the various cities of the
league are all hard at work and the
interest seems to be up to the usual,
Brunswick is going to work with
view Of having one Of the best clubs
in the league.
