DWIGHT STREET RINK.
A Fine Exhibition of Fancy Skating
 And Bicycle Riding.

And Bicycle Riding.
 As searly as half-past six last evening the streets leading to the Dwight street skating rink were crowded with people going to wit ness the greatest exhibition of fancy roller skating and fancy bicycle riding, by Profess
 sor Livesey, Carrie Gilmore and Professor Canary, which has ever been given in this city. At half-past seven there was standing room only and by eight o'clock the | rink crowded that Manag- Ackril1 gave orders to admit more, and numbers were disappointed at l not being able to gain admittance. Every pair of skates was in use and over five hun dred skaters were on the surface. At 9 pre- cisely the floor was cleared and Miss Carrie Gilmore made her appearance dressed in very handsome satin dress, cut low in the neck and reaching just to the tops of her shoes. For fifteen minutes she went through numerous difficult movements the rollers and won the applause of those present. At the finish she was loudly encored, but did not respond Prof. Livesey next appea4ed and gave an ex- l hibition such as has not been seen in New | Haven since he last appeared here two years ago. He received his share of the well-mer- tied applause and was loudly eneored at the finish. Prof. Dan Canary, who is well known here, then appeared and gave an exhibition of fancy bicycle riding. Round after round l of applause greeted him as he performed his | wonderful evolutions and movements on his wheel. His riding perfection, and the | verdicts of those who witnessed his perform ance as he rode on one wheel with handle
 bars removed, spun round and round, rode backwards and forwards, was that he was | the finest in the world. Professor Canary wore his elegant medal which he won against Tufts in Springfield last February for the championship of the United States. Alto gether the exhibitions were the best that have ever been given in this city. They | travelling together and tomorrow night ap- pear in Providence, following which they go to Worcester, Springfield, Wallingford, Anso- nia, Torrington, Bridgeport and other places, they having dates for which they are engag- ed nearly every night for the next three months. Manager Ackrill is to be congratu- | lated for giving the people of this city such an entertainment as that of last evening" The music by the rink band, under the leadership l of Prof. Stack, was all that could be de- sired

Views of NIT. Sargent on the Roads Fi-
 nanc1aI Relations to the City.
 Mir. J. B. Sargent said yesterday regarding the Derby railroad question now pending, as follows: 'fAs the case now stands, the city, with it's claim for indebtedness, is ahead of all stockholders, the debt which the city holds being equivalent to a third mortgage of all property of the company, and to which debt all the property and stock of the com pany is liable. But when the private stock holders shall have succeeded in prevailing upon the city government to exchange it's present claim of indebtedness against the railroad company, the city will release all priority of claim that it now has for the debt of the company and put itself in condition simply as a stockholder. The city's claim, as before stated, being equivalent to third mortgage, being convert ed into stock, will be substantially worthless as the first and second mortgage bonds and the other floating indebtedness would proba- bly, cover the whole value of the railroad and it's property. This arrangement will bring the stock of the private stockholders and the citys present stock and the proposed new stock at the same rate of value, which, think, is at present nothing. But if the city should hold it's claim in it's present status it might be converted into third mortgage bond, which, in the event of improve ment in the value of the railroad and it's franchise in the future, would be of value. I consider that this arrangement is possible good thing for the private stockholders, but dead give away the taxpayers, who have all they can stand at present"
