I, myself, believe what I say, otherwise I would not ask you to. There is no miracle about the wonderful value involved— no slight of hand work. I simply decided to pay our mak- ers more money for boys’ clothes than most dealers do, and that is the reason I can offer you more value. Then again, I would rather make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before—I would rather make a little profit on ‘the sale of two suits than a big profit on the sale of only one. And that is exactly what I am doing. Learn more about Seder’s Clothes—I'm here every. day to show you.

O'Connell's Mary Ann Breaks Track Record—Time 2.19 1-2—Fair a Success in Spite of Handicaps. Thursday was horse day at the Brooklyn fair, the equine entries tak- ing to themselves the greater part of the attention bestowed by the visi- tors, who made up in number the usual! proportions of the last day crowd, al- ways greatly reduced below the num- ber attending on the second day. During the forenoon there was a display of brood mares and colts, two and three-year-olds, stallions, matched pairs and other classes of horses, the spectators being chiefly persons who are interested generally in horses. During the afterncon the track was again the chief center of interest, the events including a free for all race, trot or pace, and a three minute class, with a gentlemen’s driving class and a ladies’ driving class of horses shown between the heats of the races. Track Record Broken. An_incident of the afternoon was the breaking of the track record, a feat performed in the first heat of the free for all by Mary Ann, a mare own- ed by W. D. O'Connell. The announce- ment of the time—2.19 1-2—go0d con- sidering the condition of the track, r has been fast, was pplause.

There were varlous troublesome features this year attend- ant upon the arranging of the exhi- bition. The two chief among these was the first decision not to hold the r, on account of the infantile par- jalysis scare, and the very poor grow- ing season, which held back and great. ly reduced garden products. On the whole, however, the fair came through registering one of its best successes; 80, considering the handicaps, the suc- cess is really greater than usual. Mary Ann's Speed a Surprise. | The mare Mary Ann was driven by P. Clancy, and first lowered the track record from 2.19 3-4 to 2.19 1-2. This was unlooked for on account of the poor condition of the track, although the mare did not seem to be unsteady at any part of the mile. Again in the thirq heat she got away on the fly and paced the mile without a break and lowered her previous clip to 2,18 flat, which seemed to be too easy for her’ to_accomplish. W. D. O’Connell, owner of the mare felt proud of her, after shipping down to Brooklyn from Sheffield, Mass., and robbing the Windham County fair managers of their track record. Fair Haven.—Al J.

PUTNAM Unexpected Settlement of Case of Smith vs. Tracy—Latter Pleads Guilty to Criminal Complaint, is Given Jail Sentence, Then Placed on Probation—Four Arrests in Ashford for Sensational Assault—Funeral of Lewellyn Winslow. The civil action of Robert G. of East Killingly vs. R: of Killin which h for two past befor and a jury, in the sup Putnam, came to a sud half past eleven Thursa when the jury been on trial Judze Reed for court at n ending at y morning, was informed by the tled with- court that the case had been by agreement of counsel drawn. At 12 o'clock Tracy was brought be- fore the court on a criminal complaint and pleaded guilty to the theft of four foxes valued and at $80. nar of Putnam, as spe E fficer. The case grew out of the theft of four foxes and fifteen skunks from the fur farm of Robert G. Smi st Kil- lingly, on the night of December-21st last. Three days later officers searched the home of Tracy and found two fox skins and four skunk skins. Tracy was arrested and taken before the town court of Killingly where probable cause was found and he was bound fur- over to the superior court nished a bond for_hi Subsequently ppearance. the 1 action was ntiff asking for treble e amount of After Tuesday and Wednes- reached by an morn Attor- neys in the case would n amount of settlement but lieved to have been practically all that w: The court room was spectators, who believed proceedings were over for the day, when Tracy swas brought in on the criminal charge. The state's attorney stated that the information contained three counts, two for breaking and entering and one for the theft of four Canadian fox skins valued at $30. He said he was willing to nolle the first two counts and accept a plea to the third count. Tracy pleaded guilty to the larceny charge. The state’s attorney then outlined the case to the court and said that he had pursued what he belicved to be the proper course in holding the crim- Inal case in abevance until the civil action was disposed of so that 'the state would not be put to the expense of paving the way for a civil action. He intimated that had the civil action terminated favorably to the defendant, In all probability the criminal com- plaint would have been nolled. He sald that a settlement of the civil sult having been made by a com- plete restitution to Mr. Smith, he felt differently than he would had the case gone to the jury. He thought the fact that restitution had been made should be considered. He said he knew Tracy’s father and he is a man of 80 years and of the highest cnaracter. Tracy also has a wife and children. “Taking all the facts into constdera- toln,” sald Attorney Searls, “T feel that possibly clemency shoyld be ex- tended to the accused.” A sentence of six months in jail has been suggested to me and the suspension of the exe- cution of the same and I make that susmestion to tbe aourt for considera- tion. Judge Reed then addressed Tracy. He said: “Mr. Tracy—I call you ter & I wish to show you spe se that the civil cgs as been on tr This is to that ished. 1 was most fin- ettle the criminal case.
