A Great Trotting Match.

| At Charter Oak Park for $4,000 a Side.
The long existing rivalry between the own
| els of the famous trotters Edward" and
Richard, Messrs. Frank Work and Foster
Dewey, which eliminated in a match fec
$1O,o side, to be contested at Charter
Oak Park in Hartford, is to come off to-day
"wednesday, June y. The Hartford Times
says of the event: This race is the out
come of an offer made in February last by
Mr.. Work, the owner of Edward, to Louis
Lorillard to trot his horse against Mr.. Dewey's
Richard at the odds of 800 600 to SO. 600.
The offer was accepted, but the match fell
through, only to be renewed now BY the own
ers, this time at even money. The cause of
the feeling between these men is no doubt
traceable to the unsatisfactory manner in
which Edward was beaten at Prospect Park
last fall by. Richard The record
of the two horses at that time was Edward
2:19, and Richard 2:21. On the day of the
aforementioned race at Prospect Park the
track was slippery from a drizzling rain, and
Edward was unable to show himself to the
best advantage : but his owner has ever since
been of the opinion that his defeat was less
due to the condition OF the track than to the
possibility of his having been tempered with.
Edward is of Hambletonian stock, has
better record than Richard, and if properly
handled, notwithstanding his defeat last fall.
win force Richard to better his record by
number of seconds if he is to win
Richard is Blue Bull stock, eleven years
old, and is handled by Dan Mace. He began
trotting in 1865 and made his record in
Utica in 1873.
No doubt this meeting viii attract a large
concourse of the admirers of fast trottine
and it is safe to predict that it viii prove
most interesting trot, because the owners
mean business. It is compliment to the
honest management of our association that
Charter Oak Park was selected for the con-
test. Il viii be square trot and the best
horse will win.i
So much interest has conferred in this race
that large sums of money win undoubtedly |

A Card.

The recent presentation of the opera of
stBillee Taylor" in this city has, find. preiu-
diced many people against the production of
the authors. While the resentment against
the entertainments of last week is perfectly
just the public should fully understand that
the objectionable features were no part of
the original hbretto. In the presentations of
the opera in this city which am arranging
for, promise there shall be nothing to of
fend the most refined taste and that the
omission of good features and the introduce
ton of silly or vulgar features will not occur
also that in the stage setting, the music and
the size of the chorus particularly, there
shall be nothing to make the production per-
feet left undone. The dialogue shall be
spicy but perfectly free from all indicate
illusions, the cast strong In every part, the
chorus is not less than 100 voices, the entire
music of the opera viii be given without
cut of any kind, and the scenery specially
produced for the occasion at a cost of $780,
An opera which has held the patronage of the
best classes in New York city for nearly four
months, and is still drawing crowded houses,
cannot be without merit, and that it has gen.
uine merit propose that my entertainments
shall conclusively prove to the people of this
city. The reputation which I acquired while
producing Pinafore, and which I highly
treasure, intend shall be heightened by the
"B1lee Taylor" entertainments.

The premises at 80 State street were COM
planned of as a nuisance, being overcrowded
with Italians. It was stated that the premises
were in very filthy condition. The house,
which is an old building stands next to the

to the standing committee with power
Health Officer Lindsey reported another
case of smallpox at the almshouse, occasioned
by an inmate of the house digging up the
clothing of a previous smallpox patient and
selling them for old rags. The Health OFF,
Ger said he had ordered the clothing of such
patients to be burned hereafter
Charles Ruickoldt appeared in regard to
the carpet cleaning establishment on High
street, the dust from which, he said, was
great nuisance. He said the washing of fami-
lies could not be hung out when the machine
was in opera ton.
Mr.. Rounds, the proprietor of the carpet
sweeping establishment, said that he had
ordered al exhaust pan and had put in a
larger engine to run it. When the pan was
received the windows would be kept closed.
and the trouble would be obviated by the
dust being carried to the cellar
The standing committee reported large
privy in the rear of 1886 Chapel street as a
great nuisance, and thought it should be
abolished and proper conveniences be pro-
vided for tenants that used it. An order was
passed abating the nuisance.
Health Officer Lindsey said that as soon as
it was known that general vaccination was to
take place he set himself to work to obtain
the best bovine vaccine virus. He said he
went to Boston and consulted DIR. Martin
who was an enthusiast on the subject of vac
clnation. DIR. Martin was formerly an oppo-
nent to bovine virus, but for few years he
has given his time and attention to cultiyat-
ing bovine virus, and he was now the only
physician who has, without intermission, for
number of years continued this work Dr.
Lindsey explained the method adopted by
DR.. Martin to obtain the virus, which was
quite interesting.
Bills for the month of May were approved,
amounting to $347 81.
DR.. Lindsey said the expense of public
vaccination would be larger than was at first
anticipated. He had received one thousand
points and had ordered one thousand from
Martin, which he considered, from personal
examination, to be the best in market

Smallpox.

A Case Breaks Out at the AlmshOuse-
One OF the Inmates in the Pest House,
His Queer Proceeding-The Almshouse
Guaranteed.
A man. an inmate of the almshouse, named
Andre Lawson, or Larson, aged fifty years,
who has had charge of the cattle barn, MIXED
the cows. done chores, etc., was discovered
yesterday morning to be broken out with the
smallpox. Previously to becoming an in
mate of the place he was professional rag
picker, maintaining himself in that way. It
was at first supposed that he had dug up and
sold the clothes of the man Holt, who died a
short time since of the smallpox at the pest
house, but this was not the case, Hollis
clothes having been burned, as also was the
bed he slept upon. It appears, however,
that Lawson dug up the clothes of the men
Rourke and Reagan, who were recently dis
charged from the pest house, and who had
the disease in somewhat mild form. Their
clothes were taken and buried 81 feet under
ground in the rear of the pest house. Law
son got wind of the fact somehow, or per-
haps saw them buried, and watched his
chance and dug them up. It is not believed
that he sold them, and he stoutly denies hav-
ing done SO. At any rate the almshouse au-
thorities are satisfied that he got them, as he
is the only one who has shown symptoms of
the smallpox, and as bundle of old cloth
ing answering to Rourke's and Reagan's was
found in the barn which Lawson had daily
access to. Superintendent Sanford put new
man in charge of the barn. Lawson had
been off duty for several days, as he COM
planned of pains in the back of the
head and in the back. In the lot of
old clothing were pieces which Lawson
probably picked up at odd times when out at
work. All the old clothes thus found were
burned by Superintendent Sanford. Alcohol
was poured upon them and set on fire. Supt.
Sanford has had the whole poorhouse fumi-
gated and placed under quarantine, and no
visitors will be allowed there for two weeks.
Lawson on showing signs of smallpox was
examined by DIR. NJ. G. White, town physi-
clan, who pronounced it at once case of the
disease, and the patient was at once quickly
walked off to the pest house.
The superintendent went to Meriden YES
terday, and after much difficulty obtained a
competent nurse named Conkling for duty at
the pest house, and he is attending Lawson.
