THE PRoHIBlTIoN CANDIDATE The
politicians who assume that the nomina-
tion Of General Clinton h. Fisk for
President by the Prohibitionists is not to
be counted as factor in the national
battle OF 1888, greatly underestimate
both the man and his cause. The large
increase of the Prohibition vote in 1884
and it, defeat of Blaine in New York
should teach political leaders that the
same cause with the strongest candidate
it has ever presented is certain to play an
important part in the contest of lSsS.-

The one Hundred and Ninety.Ninth
 Meeting-The Proceedings-The Two
 Hundredth Meeting to be Hold in
 East Haven.
 The New Haven county conyocation of clergy held their one hundred and ninety
 ninth meeting yesterday. Generally at the
 convoeation held in the winter there is but 8
 small attendance, but yesterday was an ex-
 ception to tke rule. The Episcopal churches
 all hold services on Saints day, but yester-
 day, which was the Feast of the Conversion
 of St. Paul, all the churches did away with
 their ususal services except St. Thomas in
 order that the members might oongregate at
 that church. Among those in attendance at
 the convoeation were: Rev. Dr.. Harwood,
 Rev. Dr. Lindsay, Rev. Dr. Rowland, Rev.
 Mr. Lines, Rev. MT. Camp, Rev. L. T. Ben nett, Rev. L. N. Booth, Rev. s. J. Horton, Rev. w. M. Lusk, Rev. T. D. Martin, Rev.
 A. P. Nichols, Rev. J, D. Pardee, Rev. J. L. Parks, Rev. O. H. Battery, Rev. A. T. Ran da1l, Rev. 0. W. Roberts and Rev. Edmund Rowland.
 Rev. Dr. Rowland of Waterbury, who is the dean, presided. Rev. George H. Buck of Birmingham delivered the sermon in the morning on eDo ye now believe" after which the holy communion was administered. At the close of the morning service Rev. Dr. ! Beardsley entertained the visiting clergy at St. Thomas rectory.
 The exercises in the afternoon began at o'clock. There was good attendance. Rev. J. E. Wildman of Wallingford read an essay ! on "Causes of discomfort among the clergy" One of the principal causss he gave as the in- adequate support which the clergy received. He gave as a remedy that the clergy give greater devotion to church work. The essay was discussed by Rev. Dr. Harwoed, Rev. Dr. Beardsley, Rev. MT. Woodcock, Rev. Mir. Lines and Rev. Mir. Camp.
 Rev. H. P. Nichols of Trinity church de- ! livered an exegesis of the ninth-verse of St. | Jude. He said that the texts in the Old Testament were for spiritual use. Morals could be drawn from them. The question as to whether they were historically true or not did not enter into the question. Messrs. | Bailey and Camp read voluntary papers on ! She same question.
 Reports from various committees were heard It was decided to hold the two hun ! dredth meeting in Christ church in East l Haven in the spring. The date has not been ! decided on. This is not the two huHdre dth I anniversary, as the association holds four \ meetings year.
 | Last evening the church was we'll filled. A missionary service was held. An eloquent \ address was delivered by Rev. Dr. John S. Lindsay, rector of St. Johns Episcopal I church of Bridgeport, but formerly noted preacher of, Washington.

MANY TEAMS OUT
sIefghing on the Avenu


 Despite the cold wind, intermixed with snowfakes, there was quite large crowd out on Whalley avenue yesterday afternoon. They were mostly those who owned trotters and wanted to exercise them. The sullen, unpleasant weather kept the fire double sleighs away. The slsighing on Whalley avenue was getting so worn by the constant stream of sleighs and carts passing over it that the snow that fell last evening was very much needed to improve it. Among those who were noticed speeding their trotters were the following: Riley Smith was driving Rosa Belle; Samuel Langdon, foreman at Barker & McDonald's stable. was among the leaders with his fine stylish horse George Bennett; F. Fl. Benton was brushing with fine clipped black mare; Patrick McKenna was driving the only double team on the ave- nus; Sidney F. Smith made the best of them fly to keep ahead of his horse Western Boy; Joseph Fl. Mcdonald, the liveryman, was enjoying the sleighing with a lady friend; chestnut horge, which appeared to be none the worse for being bitten by bulldog the other day. W. R. Tyler, of Butler & Tyler, was jogging a fine chestnut mare sired by "J. G." Fred Potter was brushing be- hind fast grey pacer. w. M. Rowland was out riding behind his fine bay colt that is half brother to Nutwood, 2:1824. Dwight Moore was trying the speed of his little black. Charles E. OrutteRden was letting his pacsr show his speed at intervals. David Cowsn, s. S. Thompson, N. H. Hinckley, Mark Smith, Robert Stevens, J. Birney Tut tic of the Register, George E. Maltby.

The FawtucketsHartford Polo Team
 Defeats Meriden-ScOre 1 to 3.
 The new Hartford team played it's first game in this league last night in Hartford against the Meridens and won, to 3. Many from New Haven, including the polo play-- CTS, went up to see the game, which was one of the finest seen in Hartford this season. Two thousand eight hundred people paid to see it. The Hartfords expected to have 8 walk-away with their opponents, but they found out their mistake. Hartford people were so anxious to see their team win that they hissed the Meridens when they made a good play. Cunning played a fine game and somewhat redeemed himself for his playing Tuesday night. Lampkin's work at goal was superb, while Valiant and Hanna ford worked their hardest. And they proved match for the famous Pawtucket team, too. The game demonstrated that just as good polo has been played in Connec- ticut as in Massachusetts. Those who saw the game last night say that the New Ravens can win the greater number ot games in g series with the Pawtucket Hartford team. Cotter and Seely of course rushed in theil usual style.

Hillside is six miles from Worcester, Mass. The place, which is quite extensive, is well kept up, everywhere showing evidences of being thoroughly looked after.

Mrs. Cough has large farm under complete cultivation. She has with her this winter her three nieees, who were adopted as their own by MT. and Mrs. Cough years ago. The home is beautiful place and the same gracious and genuine hospitality is dis pensed which made it 50 charming place to visit when the great orator was living there. Mrs. Cough has recently erected in Hope cemetery, Worcester, a beautiful and costly monument to the memory of Mir. Cough and she has just received from Boston fine life size oil painting of him, which all pronounce admirably perfect and true to life. The sleiehing is fine at Worcester.

Ansonians Interested.

A number of Ansonians went to New Ha- ven Tuesday and listened to the charge of Judge Torrance to the jury in the Way Golf fee murder trial, and all unite in saying that the charge was very impartial one, if any thing little in favor of Golf ee Afterward Angus M. Burgess was sentenced for four years. With the time allowance for good behavior he will be there only a few months over three years. Much sympathy is ex- pressed for Burgess from the fact that he has tried to live the life of man since the un- fortunate occurrence, and he is at the best in poor health showing symptoms of con- sumption. To an American representative Burgess admitted that if justice was to be done he no doubt deserved the penalty in- ficted and would meet it in a manly way Waterbury American.

The High stand Seniors and Juniors
 Take a Night on.

Take Night on.
 The initiation of high stand men into tho Phi Beta Kappa society of Yale is anxiously awaited each year by the successful ones of the junior class, who seem to fear that they will be called upon by the senior members of the society to ride goat or jump from imag- mary precipices into outstretched blankets. The fact is there is nothing athletic con- nected with the limitations into this senior society; the only ordeal for the initiates is to properly appreciate the time-honored "gags" sprung by the professors and the weak punch furnished by the caterer.
 The annual initiation night furnishes the hard students in the senior and junior classes and in the post graduate department good excuse to take night of, and last evening there were fifty of them gathered in Linonia hall to go through the initiation exercises for the one hundred and twelfth time since the foundation of the society. Those receiving philosophical and high oration stand on the appointment list are elected to membership. The juniors taken in last evening were Will W. Banks, Guilford; Lester Bradner, jr., New Haven; George Coggill, New York city; Joseph R. Ensign, Simsbury; Charles F. Kent. Palmyra, N. Y.; William A. Mo- Quaid, New Haven; William H. Page, Iron ton, O.; Harry L. Reed, Manchester, Vt.; Oliver H. Richardson, New Britain; Ferdi- nand Schwill, Cincinnati, O.; Edmund D. Scott, New Haven; Herbert A. Smith, Wor- cester, Mass; Horace F.
