. The sharpie Raes on the Quinnipiae-
 Other Matters.
 Rev. Mr. Hart, pastor of the First church, leaves with his wife and two daughters for the Adirondacks tomorrow.
 Two boats for the New England Coal Trans portation company, which are to unload the coal from the barges, are receiving their boilers and machinery at the dock, near the Quinnipiac river drawbridge. One of the barges lies on the opposite side of the bridge, and artists of the brush are engaged in letter ing her with the legend of the company.
 Good progress has already been made in the construction of the marine railway, which is to go to Mexico. Perhaps they are hur- rying it up for fear another revolution will happen in that ever happy land before it can be got there.
 M The annual picnic of the Quinnipiac En- zine company takes place Thursday. They go to the famed Congamond Lakes. The prospects are that quite large party will go
 Two more of the barges for the Coal com pany are nearly finished at Grapevine Point.
 In connection with the building of the foundations for the Horse Nail factory 8 roadway is being cut through on the north, to connect the factory with the street. Inhabitants near Cedar Hill complain in | earnest of the depredations of boys upon the | fruit trees. The boys station watchers while one goes and robs the trees. If anybody is seen approaching the boys give the precon- ! certed alarm and the squad escape. Perhaps
 when they grow up they will put their in genuity otsoms good purpose, and perhaps 1 they won't. .as7s
 A sharpie race on the Quinnipiac river, | above the Shore Line bridge, on Saturday
 afternoon, drew quite crowd of people. The
 boats participating in the race were divided into three classes, the first being for sharp
 ies over thirty three feet in length; the sec
 ond boats | between twenty-three and
 thirty three, and the third under twenty
 three feet. The main interest was in the l race between the first-class boats The con- testants in this class were only four in num- Der, the Lottie D., owned by Lester Rowe i;
 the Lena Rivers, owned by J. Goodsen and sailed by William Shute the Nellie B.,
 owned and sailed by Fred Rowe, and the Maud s., owned by George Potter and sailed by Lon Shute. This was. like all the races for that matter, one-sided affair, and was
 easily won by Lester Rowe's boat, the Lot tie D.
 There were but three boats in the second ! class-Pearl, owned and sailed by H Linds- ley; Little Ned, owned by Isaac Bradley and sailed by Arthur Bradley, and Gun Barrel
 owned and sailed by Fred Barnes. The race
 was easily won by Pearl
 In the third class were three boats-the 1 an't-Help-It, owned and sailed by B. M. 1 Futile; the Dexter, owned and sailed by Lu- zerne Barnes, and the Annie U. owned and l sailed by J. B. Futile. The Cant-Help-It | won the race.
 The course was nearly mile up the river,
 around stake-boat and repeat, three times tdown to $1 in value, were distributed Satur- day evening at the store of Alvah H. Gran miss, who was one of the prime movers in ! getting up the regatta.
