HARBOR SECURED.

1T Is TAKEN FAR TO sEA-PROTECTION OF THE
HARBOR SECURED.
Police Commissioner MacLean, who has charge
of the street cleaning has just adopted new plan
for dsposing of the street refuse and garbage. 1t
promises to be a good method. Up to within a few
DAYS it has been the custom 10 fill scOws with the
refuse and tow them 10 sea. where the scows were
relieved of their contents. Often, in consequence
of the heavy winds and strong tides, the tugs were
unable to tow the scOws very far to sea, and The
refuse was thrown INTO waters that formed part OF
the lower bay. Complaints have recently been
made that refuse from the scows has been cast
upon the shores of Conrv Island, and also that the
navigation of the lower bay Is beng injured
Commissioner Maclean has accordingly ordered
Captain Rightmeyer OF the scOw fleet to take two
DAYS for the voyage OF The scOws the first day pro-
coed 10 Gravescud Bay and the second day to 90
ont 70 sea with them. In this way an early de-
partuIc from point near the sea Will be secured,
aud the scows eau be taken far out to before II
will be necessary TO unload them. Yesterday the
first voyage under these conditions from GraYeSend
Bav was undertaken. The Shore Inspector accom-
panied the expedition to see that the State law In
regard 10 dumping refuse near the shore COM
piled with. At the meeting of the Board OF romeo,
iu tlc afternoon. Commissioner MacIean offered
resolution removing Captain RightmeYer and
appointing Joseph EOh to the place. Ii had been
charged that Captain kghtmeyer did not tow the
scows ont 10 sea as far be might have done. Com
missioner MacIean had been Informed that Mir
Hoff was a Trustworthy person, and accordingly
moved that he should be appointed. Commissioners
French and Morrison, evidently thinking mat MI
MacLeau had some political object, asked that the
resolution be laid over Tor consideration 10 another
meeting. Ibis was accordingly done.

A STEEL RIVER STEAMER.
PROPOSED ADDITIONS TO THE ALBANY LINE OF DAY
BOATS.

BOATS.
An innovation In the passenger navigation OF the
Hudson River IN the form of steel steamboats, is
contemplated by the company which owns the day
boats Chauncoy VIbbard and Daniel Drew, which
ply between this city and Albany and Troy. The
president OF this company is Alfred Nansantyoord,
a son OF whom was found by TRIBUNE reporter at
the cOmpauy's Office Pcr39 North River, last even
ing Mr. NansautvOord said that the company had
in Wow the construction of fine steel vessel about
equal in SIZE to the wcll-known Hudson River boat
Mary Powell, and the alteration OF the boat Chaun-
cey Nbbard as to make 10 uniform with the pro-
jected boat. The addition TO the COmpanys LIo Of
boats was first suggested by the inadequate size of
the Armenia, winch has been used as a spare boat
and the dCsirabihty of increasing the space of the
vessels as an induCement to increased patronage
The weight of steel boat is said to be considerably
less than that of an ordinary wooden null, and lis
capacity for fast travel Is pr0portonatelE greater
When the new boat is completed and tie NIbbaId Is
remodclled the two will form the regular line. ana

and was hurried through. The only division of
votes was Oh motion made by Mir. Macicdn To re-
move William II. Kightmeyer, cap ain Of the tug

place in consequence of complaints that sc0ws OF
the Strcet-C Cleaning Department had been uuloaded
too near Coucy Island. McssIs. French and MorTi-
son voted T. lay the matter over, TO allow more
thorough investigation.
After the meeting of the Board Mr.. Morrison said
that for the present permanent organization of the
Board wOulduot be looked for. The two Democratic
Commissioners, he said, were determined not to

sports Bridgeport Record.

Every one knows that Sport first won no toriety and placed himself in position to obtain more money and more notOriety by the surprising record that he was alleged to have made in his last six days walk in this city last November. The performance claimed for him-over 52l miles in six days-surpassed any known pedestrian beat, and made Sport suddenly famous. There was naturally disposition to question the honesty of the record that credited him with such remarkable performance, and this doubt has grown and strengthened since he acquitted himself so poorly in hls match with O O'Leary. That the Bridge port walk was fraud is pretty well estab- iished by the following statements from two men who were in attendance upon Sport all through the walk. Here is one statement:
 .sI. William Caufeld, am willing to swear that marked him (Sport) 20 miles extra every morning on the score was keeping while Sport was walking in Hub bells Hall in the month of November, 1878. at his SIX days walk, and also swear that I ran about 10 mules every night on an aver. aee for him while he was sleebing, and Sam Merritt was also running for him in the same match which was placed to
 VIM. CAUY1RLD."
 The second statement is as follows:
 And I, William D. Cook, also make af- fidayit that saw the scorer mark hlm uE ten miles on his last days walk, which wal placed to his credit on his b2l If miles. This is an imposition on the citizens oi Bridgeport and the public generally, and i is about time it was shown up.
 WM. D. CooK.
 It is unnecessary to comment or enlarge upon the statements set forth in the above. Bridgeport Farmer.
