VOL. 1, NUMBER 8 The Board of Trade meeting Wed nesday was poorly attended. President Foster was in the chair. Speeches an ordinary nature were made by sev eral and one in particular by George W allace on his tiravela, (bow he does it) and there was a talk about the au tomobile question. Mr. Wallace of fered some suggestions as to how speeding could be stopped, the gist of which was that the Legislature be asked to take away the license of those convicted of overspeeding on public highways. Some more new members were accepted and made speeches. Ar tist Kiefer (he's an artist all right) drew some quick change pictures ahd wound up by drawing a picture of a bottle so natural that when he wanted a drink after his.labors, he dimply had to cut the bottle out of the picture an d draw the cork to get the contents. Fact. Some time ago drivers in the emloy of Connors Brothers, contractors work ing qn the new speedwav north of here were arrested by officers of the S. P. C.

It was an off day for the visitors evidently. Seems to be a demand for renting purposes, for a class of house that will be within the means of the laboring -classes.

There was ho contest of any kind in the primaries; the rank and file of the party realize the value at this time of harmony and are working together.

Despite the fact that Bellmore lost the game on the home grounds \Labor Day, it was a well-played •game and some rattling good plays were made. They had an imported pitcher who started off i*x)rly, but struck out nine men during the game. Smith.played a fine game. His fielding and stick work was to the good without doubt. Sea man played good ball too, but would have given a better account of himself were he in the box.
