TELEPHONE OFFI-
GALS AND PATRONS
HAVE CONFERENCE
F CORNER Explain Unsatisfactory
Service and Promise
Improvement

At the earnest solicitation of S.
j. Wright, president of the Cont
mental Fibre Company, following a
complaint to the Wilmington Office
of the Diamond State Telephone
Company of poor service here, E.
P. Bardo, District Manager, and
H. R. Burns, Traffic Superinten-
dent, came here on Monday for a
conference with the business peo-
pie of the town.
This conference was held at the
office Of the Continental Fibre
Company and was attended by S.
J. Wright, representing that COM
pany; J. Irwin Durnall for the
American Vulcanized Company,
A. L. Beals, for Curtis and Bro,
Inc; Warren A. Singles, for the
Newark Trust Co.; J. Earle Dough-
erty for the Farmers Trust Co.,
and George Griffin for the people
of the town.
The local representatives pre-
sented their complaints and re-
ceived a courteous hearing from
the officials who made no effort
to deny the accusations concerning
poor service here. They explained
however, that several reasons were
responsible for these conditions
which they were we'll aware are
l unsatisfactory. The recent resig-
= nation of a very competent chief
1 operator and the inability to Sc
4 cure a satisfactory successor unit
n this week; the unsettled condition
a of affairs at the exchange where a
q the present time new switchboard
I are being installed; the lack of {
r sufficient number of cables to carr
for the volume of business don,
= here; and the inability until re
d Gently to find a satisfactory nigh
l. operator, were chief among tn
e reasons given by these men, VIII
h explained in detail the effort
q made by the Company to bette
conditions here. The unsatisfac
tory service between Newark an
- Wilmington, was attributed to tn
=, fact that between Newport an
- Stanton the wires are impeded b
"a shade trees which the owners wi
y. not permit the company to trim
:, Difficulty in procuring equipmer
81 has hitherto prevented the cove
' ing of these wires, but this wi
: be speedily done, they declared.
q. q They have adopted the policy {
'' giving over the work of night OF
orator to girls instead of men, WI
n have not proved entirely satisfa
:" tory. A chaperon will be provide
IS and Mrs. A. E. Maxwell has bee
secured for that position. A ne
- chief operator has also been a
pointed, an efficient executive fro
Chestertown, Md, who goes
y duty next week. Various plal
/ for the improvement of the servi'
were amicably discussed and tt
%, difficulties experienced by both tt
II patrons and the Company talk
over freely and frankly. With tt
projected improvements the ser
~ ice should be much better with
the next month.

SPANISH POLO TEAM WINS
 GAME FROM AMERICANS

ostend Belgium. July 25.-in the Olympic polo game today the Spanish team defeated the Americans by a score of 15 to 3. .. .-- ~--.
 The American army team was outrld- den and outplayed by the Spaniards, who were much better mounted. It was case of the ordinary army horses against thoroughly trained polo ponies.
 The defeat of the Anne ricans eliminates them from a chance of winning first place in the tourney. They still have chance to win second place.
 The game was q clean one and almost free from accident. Captain Arthur liar -ie of the American team was the victim ,f a spill in the last period which lald nin out for a few minutes.
 The lineup was as follows:
 Americans-Captain Arthur Harrie, No. l |: Captain Terry Allen. No. ?; Colo aeI John C. Montgomery. No. 3, and Col onel Nelson E. Margitt back.
 Spain-Senor Figueroa. No. I; The Duke of Penaronda, No. ? Count De La Maza. No. 2 The Duke of Alba, back.

 The surprise of the day was furnish ed by the clearing house of the n1arke t. Actual loans and discounts showed only a trihing increase, but a decrease of $40, 100000 in reserves of members at the federal reserve bank was accom- panied by a contraction of about sS3.- 500. 900 in actual reserves.

New York, July 25.-Brooklyn contin- ues to lead the race in the National league despite little slump last week. The Robins lead, however, was not cut down to any extent because Cincinnati the runner-up team, lost three games during the week. Both teams were de- feated today.
 The Giants, Chiacgo and St. Louis are having nip and tuck race for the honor of bringing up the rear of the first divis- ion, all three being within striking dis tance oE Pittsburgh which occupies third place. Boston fell behind during the week and Philadelphia, although having a tight hold on last place. improved it's percentage. Only about 100 points sep arate the first six clubs in the National League.
 New York and Cleveland are furnish ing plenty of excitement in their battle for the leadership of the American league The Indians took the lead early in May and were displaced for day by the Yankees the week of July 4 and again for a similar period last week. They regained first place by defeating Higgins men yesterday. Both teams won their games today. Chicago maintains it's place behind the leaders. Washington, St Louis and Boston are fighting for fourth place Detroit and Philadelphia have little chance to improve their posi- tions, although the Mackmen last week won a majority of their games for the second time this season.

There could be no alibi for the Wa terbury team played superior baseball and took advantage of all the misplays of the K of C. The Elks hit well and timely, and ran the bases to good ad- vantage. Congdon. pitching for the Eiks, gave a fine exhibition of heady work and would have been credited with shut out if it had not been for misplay in his infeld. He has had the enviable record of not being scored on in S6 in- aings until Sunday. The Waterbury out deld had a busy day grabbing in the long flies that came their way.
 The Norwich team had an off day in the field and the errors were many and costly. Except for the first run of the game all of the. opponents scoring was the result of shabby playing. Daust pitched a good game, but it seemed that Norwich was due to lose The team has been going along so good that it was time for things to break. The manage rnent has decided to make a few changes in the lineup after Sundays game, so as 10 be in first class condition for the first game of the big series with TaftviHe which starts next Sunday. There was large delegatlon rom IaIlFLle al yesteE- days game giving the k. of C. team the once over, and from all expressions ot opinions there will be a battle royal when the two teams meet next Sunday.

Imme- diatciy adjoining and within the steep walls of kmsman Notch occurs an open meadow that in the minds of the oldest inhabitants has always been called the Beaver meadow. No trees have grown upon it. The fine stream that crosses it has long been called the Beaver brook. This stream tumbles down from Moosilau- Ike mountain and flows westward into the Connecticut river. A parallel stream only a few rods from it at the top of Beaver meadow flows eastward through the Lost River caverns and the Agassiz basin near North Woodstock and finally into the Merrimack river.

 Red McGill, on the mound for Taftville, held Herman Bronkie's heavy hitting team to two lone singles one of them fig uring in the scoring, as Smith after being passed in the fourth stole second and con- tinued to third when Belair failed to get Coyles wide throw. Macket then singled, scoring Smith and tying the score, as Taftyille had tallied in the second when Dugas single. Germaine drove one to short which was too hot to handle and Coyle came through with double, scoring Dugas.
 Buckhart pitched airtight ball until the eighth, when McGil1 singled. He was forced out at second on Murphys attempt ed sacrifice when Bronkie made a light ning-like peg to second. Caron. next up, drove a liner to left which was good for a homer but the ball struck soft spot and did not roll. enabling Schieledge to field it quickly and return it before Mur- phy could tally from first
 Lyman, all-American college twirler took up the task of holding Taftville in check, and he showed the fans that he has nice assortment of curves. Belair the first man to face him, famed and Ru- gas grounded out to Bronkie, and the game was calledd
 Mills and Gley each made a splendid catch, the former going into the crowd for one and Gley mailing a line drive that was labeled three bases Bronkie and Smith starred for South Manchester
