If you are in any way doubt- ful as to the assertion, drop in at' the Grand American Tournament any year and see for yourseif. We'll ieave it to you. As a sporting proposition. the Grand American Trapshocting _Tournament is second to nome—in fact, those who are interested in baseball and trap- shooting claim that the October classic in baseball doesn't compare with the Grand American. This trapshooting game is much bigger and more inter- csting than those who are mot inter- ested believe. This, however, is getting away from the real idea of the articie—expert i management.

There’s a difference between twenty- one and thirty and no athlete was ever s0 good that he could dodge the differ- ence. But sq far, I am bound to say, that added experience has more than made up for any slowing up. As I look back some six or eight years and think of the ginger I used to have in those days, I can only wish 1 knew as much about batting then, as I do now. {1 haven’t much brains but I am get- iting by, by usingyall I have to the best jadvantage.

A becoming modesty would lead some men to keep siient concerning subjects of which they are utterly ignorant. Perhaps modesty is not recognized as a virtue any longer on Wall street and Printers' Row. The word is still in the dictionary, however. So are such other words as ‘fairness” and “justice” and “honor.” Even a New York city stock broker could probably find them if he should search. To hunt them up and study their meanings might afford some ruch needed information in certain quarters. THE FARMER. HEARING IN NEW HAVEN ON NEW TROLLEY FARES Opposition Was Made by Prominent ens and Labor Unions. New Haven Conn. Sept. 27.—The action of the Connecticut company in raising tralley fares throughout the state to six cents was both defended and criticized at a hearing before a special aldermanic committee here to- night. The defense was made by Lu- clan Storrs, president of the cor, ora- tion, and Benjamin Silverthau, a stock- holder. The adverse comment came frcm citizens of prominence and rep- resentatives of labor unions. Mr. Storrs read statistics that costs of operating the system had incrensed $1,094.000 in the last eight months. while increase in fa had been but $400,000. He sajd that | the company earned no dividend in the last year and could not operate at a loss. " He was asked if he would act to Zet a postponement of the intended in- crease in the rate until the matter could be investigated but would not commit himself. Among those who spoké against the increase was David E. Fitzgerald a candidate for mayor, who averred that marly of the increases in operatio.. cited by Mr. Storrs were for permanent improvements and really formed an in- crease in assets, The purchase by the city of the lines here were advocated by some of the speakers. Corporalton Counsel Klelner advised getting all possible data be- fore starting any action. The aldermanic committee has decided upon its future action but expected to formulate a within the next few days to sho not programme DR. C. R. CHAMBERLAIN Dental Surgeon #McGrery Building, Norwich.
