The report on the street that a 
Dr. Rice was to open an office in 
Manchester appears to be unfound- 
ed. Dr. Rice is a friend of Dr. Tyler 
and was here last week for a short 
visit. 
M. J. Callahan is having the build- 
ing on School street, which he re- 
cently purchased from F. B. Rust,

In these times of high prices ev- 
erybody has to pay. Even the oyster 
is compelled to shell out.

IN A LOTUS DREAM OF TOMORROW— 
THE WEIRD OLD WITCHERY OF MEXICO. 
A Nation of Old and New Where ‘‘Mon Yanna"’ Never Comes— 
A country old before New York was Started. 
[By M. J. Brown, Editor Little Valley (N. Y.) Hub.] 
Las Vacas, Coahuile, Mexico, Feb. 
8.—It doesn’t seem possible that a 
nasty, muddy little river could di- 
vide civilization from—I was going 
to say barbarism, but I stop and 
wonder if Diaz will see it. But I 
will risk it, and let it slide. 
Lines as sharp drawn as a fence 
separate the present century from 
the time of Christ, and I go back 
to the donkey and the two-wheel 
water cart, and pinch myself to 
know if I am really seeing it, or 
whether I am to hear the bell boy 
pound on the door and sing out: 
‘*six-thirty; train goes in 40 min- 
utes; turn on your light.’’

‘‘Prescott’s Contest,’’ Noll’s ‘‘Em- 
pire to Republic,’’ ete? No? Ever

Louis Kronberg, the noted artist 
of Boston, is exhibiting his paintings 
at the MecClee galleries, Philadel- 
phia, until March 12. Mr. Kronberg 
was the holder of the travelling 
scholarship given by Ernest W. 
Longfellow of New York and Man- 
chester, from 1894—1897, which en- 
titled him to three years’ study 
abroad. The Pennsylvania Academy 
of the Fine Arts purchased his fa- 
mous picture ‘‘Behind the Foot- 
lights,’’ which received a medal in 
Boston. 
David Fenton Co. Lands Contract to 
Build Cup Defender. 
The Manchester Yacht club, 
through E. A. Boardman designer 
of the boat, yesterday placed an or- 
der with David Fenton Co. of Man- 
chester for the construction of the 
club’s Seawanhaka cup defender in 
the series of race to be sailed off 
Manchester in July with the Royal 
St. Lawrence Yacht club of Montre- 
al, challengers for the trophy. Man- 
chester club members have sub- 
scribed sufficiently to guarantee the 
payment of the building and rigging 
of the new eraft. 
Mr. Boardman, who designed and 
sailed the Manchester I., winner of 
the cup in 1905, after the Canadians 
had successfully defended it for ten 
dom (I should say Republic) out- 
sid of the tourist path from Spof- 
fard and Eagle Pass, down to the 
city of Miexico, and across the bor- 
der from El Paso? 
I went to Del Rio and crossed the 
river into the Mexican inland towns 
—way back from the railroads— 
and saw a piece of Mexico and a 
few of its people just as they lived 
and ‘‘did business’? hundreds of 
years ago, before the ‘‘turista’’ 
came to put them wise to ‘‘short 
change’’ and buy their gods and 
idols for 25 cents Mexican money. 
They are living there today, hew- 
ers of wood and drawers of water 
—living the same life they did 1500 
years ago—just living.

a muddy river could draw a line

years against all comers, will sail the 
boat, but the other three members 
of the crew have not yet been de- 
termined. The boat will be 40 feet 
on deck, 8% feet wide and will have 
double bilge boards and double rud- 
ders, and it is expected that it will 
be launched about June 1, following 
which it will be thoroughly tried 
out. It was the club’s intention, at 
one time, to repurchase the Manches- 
ter I., owned for the last four years 
at New Orleans, where she has never 
lost a race, and use her as a trial 
horse against the new defender. 
That, however, would involve con- 
siderable expense, and was later re- 
garded as entirely unnecessary. 
The Royal St. Lawrence Yacht 
club challenged the Manchester 
club a year ago, but at that time, 
upon the Manchester men’s sugges- 
tion, delayed for a year so as not to 
interfere with the international son- 
der races at Marblehead. The prin- 
cipal changes in conditions over 
those governing the series in which 
the Manchester club won the cup 
will be that this year’s boats will 
have 625 feet of sail area, instead of 
500 feet, while the weight limit of 
the crews has been raised from 665 
to 750 pounds. at 
The first race will be held July 25, 
but the Canadians are expected here 
early in July and will bring two 
challengers for a series of trial races 
prior to determining which boat — 
shall be sailed against the Manches- 
ter craft,
