College Notes.

No game to-day G)
 The junior and sophomore classes have formed consolidated nine to train up mate- rial for the University nine.
 The sophomore crew has received an addi' ton in the person of MT. Knapp, one of the substitutes on the University crew. MT. Knapp will pull No. 4 in the coming race and will be very valuable addition to his class crew.
 Among tae many innovations of the pres ent Yale University crew is that of employing Chinese coxswain, Nun Few Chung, 6 mem Der of the freshman class and very light weight, who weighs only abont ninety pounds.
 Yesterday afternoon just as the nine were about to start for New York President Shep- ley received telegram from Princeton say ing: 'tCannot possibly play you tomorrow j; have written.'' As no reasons were given why the game should not be played and as part of the nine had already left New Haven, the remainder concluded to start, and unless valid reasons were given by Princeton, to force them to keep their engagement.

week ago it was our pleasure to announce to the people the day and date we intend to open our establishment for business. We then endeavored to place before them an idea of the course we shall for the future pursue in the conduct of our business. It being our fixed resolve that any advertisement which shall ap- pear above our name will always be worthy in every sense of the peoples entire confidence. It is our most earnest desire to impress upon the public mind that we shall never stoop to exaggeration, nor have recourse to any means that might essrange public confidence from us. No inducement possible would be strong enough to persuade us to deviate from this straightforward course. This week we shall try to place before the public partial idea of the layout of our establishment, it's various sections and departments. We cannot at- tempt to give an exact idea at present it would be impossible until our alterations are entirely perfected-as some of our depart ments must be limited in space till then. We can only say that in every department we shall be fully preparedeto show such varied assortments of choicesrich goods in the incest things that can possibly be presented for your examination, and which we hope will meet with an acknowledgment of your ap- probation.

THE GREAT LONDON CIRCUS.

The Bridgeport Farmer of last evening has this to say of this show, which will exhibit in this city to morrow: ''The London circus ar- rived in town this morning by their special trains, and gave 8 street parade between 10 and II o'clock. Although the showers 8 short time before acted as drawback in various ways, the sidewalks were filled with people to see the procession pass, and every one pro nounced the show one of the finest circus displays ever witnessed in the city. Asregards its extent, general excellence and the special features, it is doubtful if it was ever surpassed in Bridgeport. Features of the show were six open cages, showing the wild animals with their keepers, three brass bands on as many chariots, colored troupe of jubilee singers on another, three Scotch pipers on another, and a steam calliope with @ chime of bells. There were the usual vans, herds of elephants, camels, teams of ponies and the other belong ings of circus procession, the whole making very extensive, handsome and interesting display. But for the rain, just before, the attractiveness of the sight would have been enhanced by the flags and wardrobe ordinarily shown, but not produced to-day on account of the weather From the favorable opinion expressed by the crowds on the streets this morning and from the large attendance at the afternoon performance, there will be crowd ed house at the evening entertainment"
 The pronounced opinion of the ablest physi- clans all over the country indicates that Dr. Bulls Baby Syrup is the best remedy for all the suferings of little children caused by Wind Colic, Dyssntery, Diarrhoea or Summer Complaint. Price 25 cents

Irate Fishermen.

The Block Island fishermen guard their grounds with jealous care against the trawl fishermen, and often take violent measures to drive these latter away. Their favorite meth cd is to cut the trawls and in seasons past a great many dollars worth of them have been ruined in this way. Monday morning small crowd of Block Islanders cut the travis of one of the Cape Ann fishing schooners, de- stroYing in the act at least $2oo worth of netting. A fight ensued, in which one of the men on the schooner was severely beaten.

Police Notes.

Last evening Martin Lyons, a boy 15 or 16 years of age, was trying to dispose of silver watch and plated chain at Besser's on State street. He offered it so cheap that Mir. Besser- thought it must have been stolen and so caus- ed the boys arrest. When confronted by the officers he claimed that he s'found it up by the colleges" His story was not believed and he was locked up until further investigation could be made.
 Last evening the police succeeded in find ing Ellen O'Leary. the wife of Timothy O'Leary. She din not appear in court to tes- tify against her husband when subpoeaned, and capias was issued. The probabilities are that she will bs fined for contempt of court, and her husband will also be fined for assault ing her. It would have been better had she appeared when summoned.

A Town Farm House Burned.

The town farm house in Enfield was totally destroyed by fire at little past noon on Mon day. Nothing was saved except some bed ding and the few pieces of furniture that could be removed easily. The fire is supposed to have originated in some way from under a large kettle in the cellar, where potatoes were being boiled The paupers, eleven in num- bsr, were removed to building at the Shak- ers' settlement. There was an insurance on the building destroyed for $1 1000. A special town meeting has been called for next Satur- day to decide whether or not to rebuild.
