Talbott, of the Irish-Ameri ran A. C., broke all of his previous records by throwing the 16-pound hammer a distance of 171 feet 4 1-2 inches. The fluarter mile in which Melvin Sheppard, the world's greatest mid dle distance runner was a starter, was another feature. He had for his opponent Harry Hillman, but the lat ter had to run the race of his life to beat the Irish-American. Sheppard got a bad start and was in a poor position, but he gradually worked to the front and finished second, three yards behind Hillman. In his favorite event, the 880-yard run, Sheppard won as he 'pleased In 1 minute 57 3-4 seconds. Miles K. Driscoll, the Mercury A.

A people who sell more than they can buy cannot bo In a very hard situation. whatever may be the periods of depression and strin gency so we can take heart of grnco from the official figures lust given out which show that during the first seven months of the pros ent year wo have bought, thirty pnr cent, less than during the cor responding months last year while at the same time our exports Hhow an Increase of one hundred and seventy-nine millions as com pared with the same months last year. This gives ns ever y assurance of a very satisfactory trade bal ancc. when the business account* for the year are made up, says the Allnnla Journal On the whole we ar P told that the substance of the trade reports for th,. week, submitted by the mercantile agencies, Is that trade and industrial activity continues In increase very notieahly with every indication of permanent im provement. Here al home the same optiniis Me sentiment prevails. A few days ago a prominent business man from south Georgia was quoted as saying that from present lndlca florin flier,, would b„ the greatest car fnnilne within a short Mine that, the slate has ever seen. This prediction was based directly upon the lumber Industry, but It Is gen erally accepted as being equally true of all other lines of business. The uncertainty which prevails as to tli,. futur,. of freight rates Is about, the only dlsturbflug fac tor there is today In th/s business and Industrial life of our people. If we could lie nitre that 'lie existing status would not b<. disturbed by an increase In rates during tho period when business Is doing Its best to recover, wo would soon forgot that ther,. had been any such thing as a panic. Merchants and manufacturers arc meeting the situation with confidence, however, and good fall trade la firmly anticipated ROD for a race between his man and Hayes “I am ready to post SI,OOO that flhruhb can befit lf,jyrs at any distance from on* mile to 26,'' declared fniffey. “Why, the iLiigllabman could run llnyes off his feet, and I have got the money that says so, too, I can r* 4 |p as high as S2,Mo 'ii.it Hhrutib e.tt flayer if a race tin be arranged between the two, and I don’t per* any reason why It can't, now that Hayes has forsaken the amateur ranks.
