BERLIN FIVE
PLAYS RETURN
GAME TONIGHT
Fans Expect Nip and Tuck
Court Struggle at
ArmOry

There are two big attractions
in St. Johnsbury this week. The
Elks Ball, the social event of the
season will take place on Friday
night as already widely bruited
about. There is another event of
almost equal importance, and that
is the basketball game with the
Berlin A A. quintet tonight at
the Armory.
The rangy quintet of basket tos-
sers from New Hampshire COM
prise one of the greatest road
teams now trekkino over northern
New England. The Berlin lads,
like the "Tobey" Matthews aggre-
CATION are distinctly a road team.
Fans saw "Tobey's" five win over
the locals on the latters home
court in one of the greatest
matches of the year.
The Berlinites are equally skill
full in adartine themselves to sud-
den changes of size and shane Of
court, Lighting, style of play, etc.
In fact the Granite Staters on
their last visit here. when they
took the measure of the domestics.
gave fine exhibition of all
around court expertness.
To beat them tonight. Coach
"Chick" Burch will have on his
hands one of the biggest assign
ments of the year. But Referee
Kanev, fair and broad minded Off
cial that he is, vouchsafed the
opinion that on their last visit
here, the Berlinite5 plaved >ome-
what over their heads. On the
other hand. the GENIAL arbiter said,
that he believed that the Ameri-
can Legion-Compan,- d basketeers
were somewh hat off form.
Whatever was the case, the
game tonight alone will tell, Both
teams promise to be in fine phvSi-
cal trim for the battle, ard the
fans can eXpect one of the best
contests Of the wear.

This is Fair Stuff

We can all of us remember how
along about September we polish
ed up the pumkins and sorted out
the corn, and we gave dull care
the limbo and stood with arms
akimbo a-watching herdsmen
groom their cows and horses
names adorn. How the flustered
secretary had to hedge and stall
and parry over entries that were
lageard or suspicious out-class
pigs! How the pompous marshall
carried his excess of care and har-
ried sly fence-jumping ranks of
small boys, or parked the farmers
pigs. How we envied with great
yearning the culinary learning
which was needful for the judges
IN the cake and pastry line. How
we scanned the side-show banners.

FREIGHT RATE CUT
TO SANTO DOMINGO
seduction Of 20 P. c. Made,
but Rice and Lumber Are
Excepted.

A 20 per cent. reduction in northbound
and southbound tariffs will be made ef-
fective September 20 To Santo Domingo
and return from Atlantic and Gulf ports,
it was learned yesterday All commodi-
ties are affected except rice, lumber. ex-
plosives. cement and spaghetti. on which
the rates are unchanged.
No explanation was given for the cut,
which was done by conference action.
other than that the movement CT traffic
was expected to be stimulated. In some
quarters 1t rs pointed out that break
In Porto Ricanr ates might make 1t profit
able to transship for Santo Domingo and
thtt this was the real cause of the con-
ference action. This was denied, how
ever. and 1t was said that there had been
no change in Porto Rican rates sufficient
TO Introduce the possibility of profitable
transehipment.
Concurring in the Santo Domingo
reduction were the Clyde-Santo Domingo
Line, Bull Insular Line, Columbus
Steamship Company, Page & Jones,
LylSes Bros. and Lone Star Steamship
Company.
The freight market was stirred by q
persistent report that grain rates to the
Continent and United Kingdom had been
closed by the conferences thus bringing
to an end a long period of open compe-
tition for the principal cargo In trans
atlantic trade. To Hamburg and Rotter-
dam, it was said, the established rate
was to be cents hundred pounds in
September, cents in October and IL
cents in November, while to United
Kingdom ports the October rate was to
be l shilling 6 pence quarter, while the
November rate was to be ] shilling
pence. Recently prevailing rates have
been 8 cents to Hamburg and l shilling
3 pence to the United Kingdom.

S4IPBUILDERS SUPPORT
TARIFF AS 1T STANDS
Unable to Reach an Agree.
n1ent With Repairmen.

Shipbulders and repair men, after
series of meetings, have decided to sup
port the tariff bill as 1t now stands. II.
G. Hunter, counsel for the New York
and New Jersey Drydock Association.
said yesterday. The shipowners had
asked the repair men to consent to the
elimination of the provision placing
so per cent. duty on ships equipment
acquired abroad and on repairs ex-
ecuted in foreign yards with the excep-
ton of those necessary for the compile
ton Of the voyage. The present bill
fixes this duty on vessels on foreign and
coastwise services. whereas other enact.
ments have applied only to ships on the
Great Lakes.
On behalf of the shipowners 1t was
said that the decision of the repair men
was greatly regretted. The owners were
ready to support the provision OF the
subsidy bill requiring repairs on vessels
receiving compensation to be made In
American yards, but thought there
should be no protection to the yards un-
less there was protection for American
ships. or an additional bar to their COM
petition with. foreign vessels would be
set up. 1898
