Don't bowl at a dab for dropping a game or two, or for a player who happens to make a ndsa. It Is vastly easy for yon, silting op oo the grand stand to criticize, and tell what each one of tbe eighteen athletes down on tbo diamond should have done at critical Jaoetores, when every muscle is strained to Its atmost, when a man needs to have sinews Strong as steel, and a whole crop-fall of sand, and where seconds are divided and subdivid­ed, and on each part hang mighty destines. If a man happens to drop a ball when It comes hot from tbe bat as if fired oat of a cannon, or when it comes oat of the sky like ft Ihootiair, star, at tbe end of along parabolic curre, ptruapt with the no inlniog fall In

The flmt week of Ansn*t. 190.T. was a red-letter period for the Chateaagay Railroad and the important interests sJIiod with it, especially the Chateaagay Ore and Iron Com­pany, for it marked the tlrsl running through of fitandard-guage trains to Lake Placid by way of Dannemora. Lyon Mountain and Saranac I ake, starting at about 100 feet above tidewater at Plattsborgh and running up the Saranac Valley and over tbe divide at an altitude of over 1600 feet into the valley of the Chazy River! thence Into the Chateaa­gay vallpy across a divide over 1700 feet above pea level; thence across another rise of about the same height Into Salmon River valTey; thence back again to tbe Sara­nac headwaters, striking the North Branch at Loon Lake and Kushaqua, and the South Branch at Saranac Lake, and thence over an­other rise of 1737 feet to Lake Placid, at tbe headwaters of the West Branch of the Ao-

The first tbtng was to build a road from the eastward, for tbe owners were Clinton County men, and they were determined that tbis treasure should come oat by the way of Clinton Coonty, although it lay on tbe St. Lawrence slope arid would • o a t nelarally go tbe other way, down tbe Chateaagay valley. There had been for many years a winter road tbroagh this wilderness, it having been cot
