Hartford’s a Big Postage Buyer.
The receipts of a government post-of-
{icecannot always be gauged by the
size of the city in which it is located,

Boston
says the Providence Journal.
New England, for instance,
stands, of course, first in the profitable-
,ness of its postal business, and- Provi-
dence comes second, but the third city
in this respect is not New Haven,
which standsthird in population, norI
Worcester, which is fourth. Indeed,
we have to go down to eighth or ninth
place in the list to find the town whose
port-office comes next to Providence in
receipts. Hartford, though containing
hot little more than 70,000 people,
brought the governmenta net income
in the last fiscal year 'of $174,145.85,
while the figures for Providence were
only $198, 226.9 .22, although this city is
11101 8 than twice as large as the capi-
tal of Connecticut. New Haven follows
with $140,509.56, and Worcester, with
$30,000 more people than Hartford,
' straggles on behind with only $109,-
927.47. Boston being a population
center disproportionate to the number‘
of inhabitants within its corporate
borders, is far and away the leader east
of the Hudson.

Three Advantages of Football.

He said, in part:
Cambridge, on Sunday on

"There is a loud cry to-day in some
quarters as to the brutality of football
a 1d other sports. As an old football
player I will say that there is no bru—
tality about football. Mark three
thiggs in regard to that game: First,
for months the eyes of. these men were
fixed on a definite goal; second, to the
reaching of that goal they have bent
ev ery eneigy of mind and body. If for
no other reason than this alone, foot-
ball and other athletic games are inval-
uable. Third, to reach that goal—
with a wisdom which the wisest on earth
cannot do better than imitate—they
have been ‘temperate in all things,’
they have undergone the severest
training, they have submitted to all
manner of restrictions in food and man-
nor of life; and in the end they have
come on the field as nearly perfect men

quent sermon than he reads on a foot-

A A‘
. 1he_Ne.v York Horse Show.
The prices paid for stalls. (not for
horses but for spectators}, and boxes at
his yea r’s Horse Show, new holding in
Madison Square Garden in New York
city, says the Hartford Telegram,
proves that Fashion has at last entered
iis protest against the exorbitant fig-
ures it was askedto pay for placing it-
self on Conspicuous exhibition, "and
that in future this November Carnival
will have to be run on a legitimate
business basis. There have been thir-
teen of these exhibitions.
few of the original projectors lost heart
and sold out their holdings in the as-
sociation, $100 shares at the time sell-.
ingfor $15 and $20. The building of
the new Garden and the object being ‘
seized upon by Society as a proper en-I§
terprise to foster and patronize, made
the venture a succgss. It became a
craze and up to the present event fabu-
lous prices were paid for the privilege
of New York’s swelldom coming, like
the Sabine virgins attended the games
provided by the infant colony of Rom—

In later years the management hasII
realized upwards of $75,000 before the I

A perusal of the names to whom the

The first .
- live did not pay expenses, and notIa
able leaven of the plebians has been
admitted but for exhibition purposes
merely. Society will be there Just as
heretofore, but they will not be so con-
spicuously a feature of the show—at
pleasure of being stared-at.
As regards the display of horseflesh,
there can be but one opinion. It is the
finest aggregation of equine perfection
that can be collected in any country.
Good English judges have repeatedly
declared that the entries in the har-
ness classes, especially for high step-
pers, are the best in the world. These
and the coaching exhibits are always
the finest features of the show. The
riding classes are fair, but the quality
and manners of hacks, park nags and
hunters are not up to the Islington
standard.
There. has been great good done to
the improvement of the style and com-
fort of the public conveyances in New
York city. Cabs and hansoms have
followed closely upon the standards set
down by the Horse Show people, and
the class of horses that are for public
hire cannot be equaled in any European
capital. The attendance so far has not
reached the expectations formed from
previous years, but the show in every
detail is the equal of any that has pre-
ceded it and may be pronounced a sub-
stantial if not a phenomenal success.
FEMININE CHAT.
When one is away from home letters
and telegrams are more than usually
precious.
Fur fancifuls are made more dainty
by intioducing velvet rosettes and
jeweled buckles.
To genuinely app1cc1atc how much

phasis of separation.
Pale blue, gray and wh1te felt- hats
were very much in evidence last night
at the Horse Show.
Few women walk well, and now that
trailing gowns are coming in vogue
the task will be a harder one than
ever.
Isn’t it -a wonder that. more people
are not killed through the careless way

Many women who have spent the
summer abroad are . Caught surreptiti-
ously buying Parls frocks [at cm big
shops, for in many cases they find it
more profitable to so- secure a French
wardrobe and avoid the troubles of the
tariff: but why they should be 'so sly
about it is the puzIzle.
The red and white upstairs. dining
room of D'elmonlco’s new epicurean
palace, in New York, is the most glar-
ing conceit imaginable, and it is to be
hoped that the mode in wall paper will
not de copied in any hotels, at least not
in the bed rooms, for it would certainly
murder sleep.
