derive a legitimate profit at all from

demand for our surplus, otherwise u
home markets would be so glutted
that we could not farm with profit.

COMMUNICATED.

To the Young Men of Connections:
 Many of you, who have competed in the amateur athletic games conducted during the past several years by our New Haven A. A. have from time to time expressed to me, as manager Of these games, your appreciation of the effort we were making, as best we could, to put amateur athletics, cs- pecially track and field games, on the map in Connecticut and your wish that we might have more statewide amateur athletics of the same sort with more system, business, unity and cooperation of athletes and clubs.
 We are now prepared to make a be- ginning in doing this through what I think is a workable plan.
 This plan increases the opportunity of the comparatively few competing athletes in the state, co-operates with and strengthens existing athletic clubs and opens the door to amateur athletics of every sort, especially track and field games, to every young fellow in the state, who has interest in the game, and it sets up new clubs, small or large, with few members or many in which clean, up-to-d date anl- ateur sports will be the main object. and so put system and unity into Con- necticut amateur athletics that there will be many and large benefits to iT1- diVidual athletes and athletic organi- zations. 1t provides chiefly for the young fellows from seventeen years up, mostly those who work in stores offices and factories, and proposes to give them in the last analysis what the school and college fellow now has in supera abundance, and which 1t Is all right that he should have, but no less all right that hte young fellow who works should also have. FeeS are reasonably small, and with funds from admission to games, or what ever source, are used not for person al gain but solely under the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States to promote amateur athletics for the benefit of Connecti- cut young men. Additional to track and field games, athletics will include baseball. football and so far as prac- ticable. other sports, with increased rivalry in competition through 1eagues as in baseball, basketball, when desir- able 1t provides for advice and CO., onaration in anything and eyerythin~ nertaining to amateur sports, espe- cially the rules of the Amateur Ath-
