THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

President Young, of the league, has taken an inventory of the applications on file for positions on the staff of umpires for next season. Up to date he has received some thing over $50, and the mails bring more each day.
 In it's notes of the coming six days walk ing match at Madison Square Garden the New York Press says: Among the entries is Peter Napoleon Campana, "Old Sport" who has entered in more six days racers and made smaller records than any pedes- trian in the world. As usual "Old Sport'' intends to win the $1 1000 offered to the man who breaks the record but he will have to walk very fast,as every participant will be compelled to cover, as per agree ment, no miles during the first 24 hours, and failing to do this will be debarred from the contest"
 On February ii Peter Kemp rows Tom Clifford, who comes from the same district of New South Wales as Beach does, in Australia The race is for $1 ,0OO and the championship of the world, which was handed over to Kemp by Beach. Clifford is the favorite in the match Hanlan will challenge the successful contestant. On May Hanlan rows his old opponent, Edward Trickett, on the Fitzroy river, for $2, 800 side. The articles will be signed in few days.
 The game in the billiard tournament in Hartford last evening was between Hawks, of Torrington, and Kingsbury, of New Haven and was won by the former 200 to 186. Hawks average 1868; Kingsbury $ 3 62-63 Hawks best run 21, Kingsbury' $ 24.

DEATH OF STILES T.. STANTON.

A Prominent Connecticut Republican
 Dies of Pneumonia in New Ye TX.
 Stiles T. Stanton of Stonington, this State, whose serious illness was mentioned in these columns yesterday, died of pneu- lnonia at the Grand Union Hotel, New York, at o'clock yesterday, aged 38 years. His family were at his bedside, having been summoned Wednesday. There were few men in Connecticut better known than Senator Stanton. Handsome and popular, his career was fraught with success from the first. He was educated at the Colle- giate Institute in New Haven, and soon after his graduation he entered journalism. He was on the Worcester Press, and later was the 'funny man" of the Norwich Bull letin, which at that time ranked with such journals as the Burlington Hawkeye, Danbury News and Detriot Free Press as humorous paper. But after gaining for himself an almost national re- putation as journalist, he forsook the profession and entered the noisy, smoky arena of politics. In this his good fortune, or perhaps more properly speaking, his popularity, still elung to him, and he soon rose to prominence. In 1875 and '7S he was on the brigade staff of the National Gnard, and in 1880 was Secretary of the Republi- can Central Committee. He was also the Executive Secretary of Governor Charles B. Andrews. In 1881 and 1882 he was a member of the House of Representatives, and served with great credit. He ran on the Bulkeley ticket in 1882 for Secretary. of State, and while he was defeated he ran considerably ahead of his ticket. In 1884, '85 and 'S6 he represented the Ninth Sena- torial District, and during his last session was president pro tenn.

 The good people of this quiet town were aroused from their slumbers at 1:15 this morning by the whistle at the Phoenix shop telling them that there was a fire in this vicinity. On getting out they found the building on Water street owned by Null vile and Beirne on fire. It spread with great rapidity to the buildings on either Side. The prompt action of the Fire com pany who worked against great odds saved the dwelling house on the south. The | other two buildings are mass of smould- ering ruins. William Brennan occupied a part of the large building for Il saloon and | variety, the other part being occupied by a man from Bridgeport as a restaurant, who l loses all M J.

They Play an Exceptionally Fine Game
 and are Victorious 10 to 5.
 Waterbury won her first game from the leaders in the Connecticut league at the Rink last night in the finest exhibition of team work ever seen in this city. There were between 400 and 500 people present and as the game warmed up and became exciting, they rose to their feet, and stand ing on the chairs encouraged the home team with their enthusiasm, hissed at Referee Kellys poor judgment or willful neglect to call fouls, and hooted big Hal lett when Williams bested him in the struggle for the ball. After the intermis- sion the home team played all around the leaders In the fifth goal Williams made the brilliant play of the first half of the game. Taking the rush, he followed it up, and, with two dexterous strokes, sent l it through the blue uniforms into New Haven's cage. That ornamented gothic ceiling which Jean Jacques put up to hide 1 the timbers was in danger of disintegra- tion. Every throat sent up yell after yell when the ball went into the cage, and the Jacques patent ceiling palpitated in uni son. settling back into it's normal position when the enthusiasm had subsided. The en. tire game was conspicuous for the brilliant passing by Menard and Williams and the excellent blocking by Shea and Fraizer

A HINT TO AUSTIN,

Il Is hoped that the people OF Austin,
including the managers of the forthcom-
ing pageant and attractions, will not take
offense at or misconstrue few words of
friendly advice THE GAZETTE desires to
offer them. Austin will be visited by
thousands Of strangers this month, most
ly Texans, but large number from other
states. The people Of Austin should see
to it thatsmple provision is made for the
comfort of these visitors and on reason
able terms. Every precaution should be
taken to prevent "gougiug" or extortion.
Every effort should be made to provide
the visitors with places to sleep snd
plenty to eat-comfortAble lodging and
good fare, at living rates. II the hotels
and boarding houses are not equal to the
emergency, then the Community as q
whole should come to the rescue. 1t will
be unfortunate for Austin II visitors go
there, with plenty of money and perfectly
willing to pay literally for everything
they require, aud have to come away sim
plv for lack OF accommodations. Such 3
result will give the capitol city a reputa-
ton anything but envis5le. Street car
facilities, means for getting about, should
also be ample and cheap. In word no
efforts should be spared to make each
and every visitor feel thst in the matter
~ nv rSai hao fhn<
could be expected. Ii Is quite probable
that our friends down there have fully
considered all these questions and will
not be found lacking in any respect.
THE GAZETTE does not want to see any
body stay away because OF apprehension
that the attendance will be too large and
digcomforts and impositiors endured.
On the contrary, THE GAzETTE hopes TO
see the occasion as brilliant success as
the most ardent Austinite could desire.
It is state aff.ir and all OF US feel
pride in seeing 1t prove worthy Of Texas.
We shall all be glad to see Austin achieve
prestige snd practical benefit from the
occasion, and certainly it is grand
opportunity to do so. But THE GAZETTE
knows what immense crowds are in city,
and how strenuous and broad-gauged and
universal must be the EFFORT on the part
of community t. properly care for such
crowds. We do not want to see Austin
caught mapping snd lose her opportunity
to make prestige, hence this friendly
counsel, which, it is hoped, will be &C.
copied in the spirit in which 1t is
rendered.
