An old soldier, released from coffee at 72, recovered his health and tells about it as follows: "I stuck to coffee for years although it knifed me again and again. "About eight years ago (as a result of coffee drinking which congested my liver) I was taken with a very severe attack of malarial fever. "I would apparently recover and start about my usual work only to suffer a relapse. After this had been repeated several times during the year I was again taken violently 111. ; . "The doctor said he had carefully studied my case and it was either 'quit' coffee or 'die,' advising me to take Postum In its place. I had always thought coffee one of my dearest friends, and especially when sick, and I was very much taken back by the doctor's decision for I hadn't suspected the coffee I drank could possibly cause mv troubles. "I thought It over for a few minutes and finally told the doctor I would make the change. Postum was procur ed for me the same day and made ac cording to directions; well, I liked it and stuck to it and since then I have been a new man- The change in health beean in a few days and surprised me, and now, although I am seventyrtwo voara of aire. I do lots of hard 'ork and for the past month have been teaming, driving sixteen miles a day besides loading and unloading the wagon. That's what Postum In the tiliir of coffee has done for me. I now like the Postum as well as I did coffee, "I have known rjeople who did not care for Postum at first but after hav ing learned to make it properly accord inir tn directions they have come to Ilk It as well as coffee. I never miss a chnnce to praise it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look for the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pgks. dred "Wilson's Duke o' Tofk had the second; Miss Mazle Cotter's Judy was awarded third. Class No. 7, combination ponies under saddle. Prizes were awarded as fol lows: Bobbie g g, owned by Mrs- Hayes Trowbridge, first; Lady of Quality, D. W. Armstrong, second, and Johnnie, en tered by Mrs. Hayes Trowbridge, third.

The pony polo race was won by the members in the following order: J. C Rathbourne, J. W. Webb and L. E. Stoddard. THE ARMOUR TEAM. One of the memorable and grand ex hibits at the horse show was the six-in- hand team of iron gray horses owned by Armour & Co. of Chicago. The well matched horses, the ornamental har ness, the other attractive ornaments on the horses and harness, and the skill of the driver all combined to make a noteworthy display. The style in which the driver handled the big grays was remarkably excellent When the length of the heavy wagon and six horses Is considered it will be seen that the way the team trotted around in a circle was wonderful. The style in whch the driver can cut a figure eight with his long team makes him an expert at the reins. Horsemen who know of the manipulation required at the reins will recognize the skill ex erted to handle so many horses go gracefully. An error regarding the awards on Monday in class No. 12 A appeared In this paper yesterday morning. The prizes were awarded as follows: Dur bin, Mrs. L. E. Stoddard, won first blue; D. W. Armstrong's Gunpowder was awarded second; Mrs. L. E. Stod dard's Tatters won the yellow, third prize. A large number, of photographers were taking snap shots of the horses durlnng hoth days of the show. That the historic old park which nearly fifty years ago was called Brew-; ster park and later Hamilton park is an ideal place for a horse show was demonstrated during the exhibition. Judge Peters of New York city remark ed yesterday that the ground In the In field was excellent not too much gra's which might causes the horses to slip, and grass enough tor' perfect footing- The Hartford and New Haven Polo teams will play at the Elm City park to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Secretary and Treasurer, IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS SUPREME COURT OF ERRORS OPENED YESTERDAY. ; Several Decisions Announced United States Circuit Court Cases Before the Divorce Court The Hows & Stet- on Esti'.te Boardman Appraisal Nettleton Estate In a Tangle Durant Case Goes Over Bankruptcy Hear lugs Freight House Row Worked the Lemon Gome City Court News. The June term of the supreme court of errors opened in this city yesterday, minus Chief Justice Torrance, who is ill and has been compelled, by the ad- i vice of physicians, to take a long rest. Judge Thayer, of the superior court, was called in to make up the full quota of judges, five in all. Those on the bench yesterday , were Justices Bald win, Hammersley, .Prentice, Hall and Thayer. The session was opened with prayer by Rev. W. F. Diekerman, former pas tor of the Church of the Messiah. The docket of the court is not long this term and the Important cases are few. Fairfield county cases were taken up first by the court and it was some thing of a coincident that a case against: the Knights of Columbus was one of those argued. It is the case of James A. Coughlln et al., of Bridgeport, against the Knights of Columbus. It is a suit to recover insurance money on the death of Pat rick Coughlln. It is alleged by the de fense that because Patrick Coughlln lapsed in his assessments his policy should not be paid. On the other hand, it is claimed that Patrick Coughlln paid according to a system that had been in vogue for years that is, by paying a collector when he should come around, even though the payment was strictly overdue. The superior court sustained the Knights of Columbus and the appeal Is by the plaintiff. Another case argued was that of Ed mund C. Wood against William E. Ho lah. It is a Wate-bury case and was brought to recover $188 alleged to be due as commission on a sale of land. The plaintiff was worsted in the lower court. THREE DECISIONS BY SUPREME) COURT. Three decisions were handed down by the supreme court on Us adjournment at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The first was on the strong appeal from probate, which was heard at the May term In New London county. The appeal was based on the refusal of the probate court to permit the admission to probate of the will of iMlss Eliza beth M. Strong., The ground of the refusal was based on the fact that the will was torn, and it was claimed that it was thereby made invalid. The appeal was brought before Judge Gager In the superior court, but as it was purely a question of law Involved, which the supreme court eventually would have to decide, Judge Gager re served the case for the advisement of the supreme court without passing on It. The supreme court advised the supe rior court to disaffirm the probate de cree and admit the will. The second case was that of Thomas E. Norton vs. the Consolidated Railway Co. . It is a New Haven case, and was heard at the April term of the court In Bridgeport. The case is an appeal from the court of common pleas of this city, where judgment was given for the plaintiff to recover about $225. i It was claimed that the plaintiff was given a wrong transfer, and that when he attempted to use it the second con ductor refused to take it, and this led to a discussion which led the plaln- tiff to get off the car, more or less force being used by the conductor, accord ing to the allegations. The supreme court finds error, and remands the case for the assessment of nominal damages. This Is a victory for the trolley company. The third case is that of Phoebe Banks of Norwalk vs. the Connecticut Railway and Lighting company. It is an appeal from the court of common pleas' of Fairfield county,' where the plaintiff had a verdict. The action was hased on personal in juries, and It came before the supreme court on a question of the admissi bility of certain of the evidence. The supreme court found "no error, NEW HAVEN LAD'S SUIT TO RE COVER DOG. Replevin papers were served Monday afternoon in the civil suit or Mrs. An nie E. Wirtz, of New Haven, vs. iM.

He was the accepted type of "the old southern gentleman" and, of course, a colonel. Often with tongue and some times with the pen he upheld the doc trine of the "Square Deal" before Roosevelt was born and the ethios of the plantation's noblisse oblige clung to him like a garment. Most abhorrent no him was the thought that "a negro, sah, is haled before the bar and pun- '.,hed for an offence that influence ea hy condones In a white man It is wrong, sah, and J protest." But it so happened once upon a time that Ihe colonel had a heated argument with one jwho showed small care for the coufrtesles of de-bate" so that a chance word drove the heated gentleman to another which could only be met by a blow. A policemarl standing near promptly interfered, so that the two controversialists fotind themselves at the station. The walk drove all bittern-ess from their hearts they were friends again before they promised to appear next morning. But the colonel could not sleep, but waited the flood murmuring, "The thought of appearing in a police court!" Meantime the news spread and . the cdinmittlng magistrate was given the facts with the knowledge that the colonel had already suffered more than many offenders would from a sentence to the- streets. 'Certainly, certainly, tell the sergeant to erase the record and say nothing more o the heated argument," said the magistrate, doing only what he had often done be fore under like circumstances. Told o this, the colonel could hardly credit his senses. Finally, assured he was offi cially absolved from his promise to "appear and make himself a spectacle," he remained burled In thought for some moments, finally emerging from his ab straction to declare, "Well, I have al ways held that Justice should be dis pensed without fear or favor, but blamed if I don't begin to fear I was wrong." And so yet another doctri naire was taught Ithe error of his way and set free from the chains of ab stract logic and the higher law. Flori da Times-Union. Jao.k"Too bad about young Ney, is. n't it?"
