THE FINES WILL NOT GO. City Attorney Terry Says Police Officers
 Cannot Be Fined.

At meeting of the police commissioners Tuesday evening, City Attorney Terry gave it as his opinion that the board hadno right to impose money fines upon an off cer for breach of discipline or duty. When this was announced the board voted that all fines of money hitherto imposed upon any officer should be revoked and q pro vision made for refunding the money. Commissioners Reilly and Goodrich were then appointed com mittee to confer with the city attorney and draft set of rules whereby power would be conferred on the board to intlict fines of money for breach of disci- pline that do not warrant dismissal of the men.

 It is true, as reported, that Herman Oel-
 richs, the referee ir the HarrardN Nale boat race. offered to send the Yale crew over to
 England at his own expense to race the
 Cambridge university crew. But the Iale
 boys unfortunately have to decline the
 generous offer. as for various reasons they } have found that they cannot cross the ocean. The principal reason is that it is now far too late in the season to arrange | for match with the English crew. Then some difficulties cropped up relating di rectly to the Yale crew, and it had finally
 to be reluctantly resolved that American youth could not take this opportunity o1 meeting British youth in a friendly contest e in British waters. MT Oelrichs regrets that this is the case. He thinks the Yale crew t about the best that ever pulled together il t this country, and that they would certainly have beaten the English oarsmen.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
wATERnuRY vs MER1pEN

The audience in attendance at yesterday mornings game between the Waterburys and Resolutes, was not one of the old time gatherings. Less than 500 enthusiasts, many of them from Meriden, were on hand, to guy Morris Quirk and swear at the umpire. The game opened favorably for Waterbury and for four innings the Meri- dens failed to hit safely, although they scored a run in the first inning on errors. The Waterburys scored two runs in the first inning one of them earned on Guests three bagger and sacrifice, In the second the home team scored another earned run on two bagger by McAlenny and Williams out to left. Toward the end of the game Williams showed signs of weakness and the Meridensikept' 'piling up runs until they tied the score in the ninth inning. Neither side scored in the tenth, and the game was called to allow the teams time to catch the | train for Merden. Score.
