THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

At Hartford, last night, the Hartford Pawtucket combination defeated the Meri- dens 3 to 1.
 The game ill the State billiard tourna- ment at Hartford last night was between Kellogg of Hartford, and Sanderson of Willimantic, and was won by the former, 25O to 199.
 The Boston Globe says: By the old Hartford players going to Waterbury and the New Bedfords going to Bridgeport it will leave the following players out of a job: Rogers, Null Smith, John Smith, Parsons, Beeson, Cunningham, Fraser, Rabbit, Menard and Hill. From this num- Der very strong team could be formed, to be located in either New Bedford or Worcester.
 Secretary Morse of he Massachusetts Polo League: "For two seasons the Con- necticut clubs have been trying to secure the cream of the Massachusetts players. were unable to secure enough to cope with the clubs in this state. I hope they are satisfied now. They have just killed the game in this state. Every manager has been here after players, some of them sev- eral times during the season. The game is more popular in Connecticut than it is here, and investments in polo have brought great returns''
 The Waterburys lost game at Bridge port last night by the score of 3 to 2, after hard struggle. All the goals were made during the second half of the game. The News says that for the visitors Hill, Gun ningham and "Stonewall" Babbitt played an awful strong game, while Griffin at cen ter was lamentably weak. Goals were made as follows: Waterbury by Cunning ham, 21:28; Waterbury by Cunningham, Y; Bridgeport by Parsons, s:55; Bridgeps fouls, Parsons |; Griffin 1; stops in goal, Abercrombie 18, Babbitt IS; referee, James kelley. of New Haven tirne keeper, F.

To be Given fer the First. Time in This
 City To-Morrow Night.
 The famous war drama, "Held by the Enemy'' will be presented in this city for the first time at the Opera House to-mor- TOW evening under the auspices of Chat field Guard Company A, c. N. G. It is said that the same care and management that were given to it when introduced to the public of New York, London, Boston and San Francisco will be seen in its hand ling here. In each of the cities named the piece met with a warm reception, con- tinued into solid runs "Held by the En- emy" has never known a doubtful situa- tion since it was produced, and England and Australia have taken to it as kindly as this country. It is strong on the comedy side as we'll as the emotional, and it is thoroughly and exclusively American in tone. It's characters are soldiers drawn from both armies, and the scene is laid in Virginia. The tender subject is handled skillfully and gently, with patriotic feel ing, but without obtrusive partisanship, and instead of stirring up old a ~imosities it is calculated to soften them. All the effects used during it's long New York run will be seen here

petition for crossing at Burnham street is as follows:
 "And no objection being made thereto we do now find on consideration that pub lie safety requires the alteration in the method of crossing the track of said high way should be made as hereinafter set forth.
 ''We do, therefore, order and determine that the mode of crossing said tracks by said highway be changed so that instead of crossing at grade as at present it be car ried under said tracks in its present line and in the place and manner as shown on the map on file in their office marked "Plan for changing grade crossing of Burn ham street, Waterbury, Conn.,. Naugau- tuck Division, April 15, 1SS7,'' and that for this purpose said tracks be raised at said crossing 5.S6 feet, the roadway be- tween the abutments to be 40 feet wide in the clear instead of 24 feet as shown in said map, with clear headroom of not less than 12 feet between the surface of the highway and the bottom of the bridge.

This was the subject of Prof Forbes first lecture in a course on European travel, and there was a1 large audience at the Opera House last evening to hear it,and see the beautiful stereopticon views by which the speaker was better enabled to impress his hearers with the historic grandeur of York only to the scenes and descriptions of Windsor Castle. If last evenings lecture is 8 sample of the course they will prove decidedly interesting and entertaining

GATES AT BANK STREET,

The commissioners ordered that Burn ham street shall pass under the New Eng.
 land railroad and the commissioners further find that public convenience and
 necessity and the safety of travel require that the crossing of the said railroad (New York and New EnglanD by said Riverside street be changed so that after the con- struction of said Burnham street under said railroad said Riverside street shall no longer cross said railroad at grade, but that it's location from said Burnham street to Bank street be altered so that said River side street shall pass under said railroad in the same place and coincident with said Burnham street. And we further find that, in our judgement, in view of the ex- pense of other more important changes of crossings in the city of Waterbury this day ordered by us be made, and in further con- sideration of the fact that the cost of the elimination of the grade crossing at said Bank street will probably be but little if any greater hereafter than now, and that if said crossing is provided with gates public convenience and necessity and the safety of travel do not require any alteration in l said crossing

TWOCROSSINGSDOOMED
ONE EACH AT BANK AND BURNHAM STREET MUST co.

The Railroad Commissioners think Gates
 a Sufficient Protection at Bank Street
 and Riverside Street will have to Cross
 at Burnham, which will be Extended
 Under the New England's Tracks.
 With to-day the time limited for the discussion of the Railroad Commissioners in regard to the petition of the city for the elimination of the grade crossing in Waterbury expired, and the papers were duly received by the Mayor this morning. The city wanted the grade crossing at Burnham street eliminated, and also wanted the New England grade cross ing at Bank street abolished and gates placed at the West Main street crossing of the Naugatuck road The Consolidated road wanted this grade crossing done away with The commissioners have ordered that the Burnham street crossing be done away with and that similar disposition be made of the West Main street Naugatuck crossing The Bank street crossing they think sufficiently protected by gates and believe that South Riverside street should be continued to Burnham street. The ex- pense involved will cost the city S8,5OO. Burnham street will be extended under the New York and New England track, but the commissioners do not apportion the ex- penses on this work To say that the Rail road Hill people were displeased with the decision concerning Bank and South River side streets does not express the feeling in that community. They were mad, and Michael Guilfoile, who had copy of the decision in his pocket, told DEMOCRAT reporter that they should take the case into the courts.

The heavy wind did some damage last
week. 1t blew about one thousand shingles
off of the roof Of n. Wilkinson's barn.
Besides this some trees were overturned
and considerable of fence blown down in
different places.
We will now relate case Of fasting
which leaves Tanner far ia the shade.
1t was after this manner and happened on
the premises Of Nathan Wilkinson. Mr..
W had a certain numbero Of turkeys TO keep
over, but thinking the number hardly sufii-
Gent he purchased one more about the sec
ond week in February. SO that they were
positive as to the number on hand. The
next day after the turkey was bought one
of the flock disappeared very mysteriously.
1t was not known whether the turkey had
been stolen or What had become Of il, and
it was given up as lost. One day last week
while packing things up preparatory to
moving, Mr.. w. went into one Of the wagon
sheds to get barrel which bad been stand
ing there for a long time On raising the
barrel there was the l6ng lost turkey
True size was not any fatter than the rest
of the flock, but considering the eircnm-
stances was in good condition Now Mrs.
Turkey is lively and healthy, and bids fair
to outstrip any other one Of the flock. She
had been under the barrel for forty-seven
days without a possibility Of getting any
food. The above circumstances are posi-
lively true. If any one has q ease TO beat
it, let us hear from yon.

What License Does.

With the granting of licenses to the two
hotels in Salem by the Council on Friday
night the floods gates of rum were let loose,
and the amount of drinking and number of
drunken men on Saturday, during the day
and evening, was shocking Men who hadn't
drank for year, and some who had alb
stained for a longer period, fell under the
strong tempt alton presented. A number of
Young men were induced to drink by the
DEVILS own agents. and many hearts were
sickened at the sight. The disorder and
drunkenness was il marked contrast to the
peaceful state of the city during the past
year, with no license. Ii our people are en-
tirely devoid of the 'Rilk of human kind
ness aud goodness, ''such things will certain
ly cure those who advocated license for the
good Of the city. Six men were confined
in the lookup on Saturday night for drunk
enness. No sooner had the licenses been
granted on Friday evening, than TIE fee
was paid. and the bars thrown open, and
the work of making drunkards by law be-
gun. Some evils has ten their eure by their
own enormity This looks like one Of
them.
Business quickly felt this unusual and
unnecessary drain upon the resources of
the wage carriers. One Of our prominent
business firms report that their cash pay
ments. regularly made heretofore on Sat
nrday, fell off last week some $50, while
another business man reports iiis sales con-
siderably below tho usual standard on Sat
urdays Tor year past. As far as inquiry
has extended, the same experience was
given. The hotels received the money, and
many a home received a drunken husband,
father or son. Standard

Pat ap., Katie.

Pat Rooney, the Irish comedian, seems
to have frequent occasion to seek the no.
toriety of the courts to settle bis family
and professional troubles. His latest eff
fort in this line is described in a dispatch
to the Philadelphia evening papers of last
Tuesday, sent from Easton, Pa, under that
date. We give it below:
Katie Rooney, n teodaushfer of Pat
Rooney, the comedian came here yesterday
with the Gone of the Brayest' troupe playing
. leading character. Soon after the perform
anee began Pat Boaney arrived, and had her
arrested on charge or ineoYrigibe conduct
claiming that she had ran away from his
troupe without permission. Rooney was bots
ferrous behind the scenes and the manager OF
"One of the Br;lvest" troupe had him arrested
for surety of the peace. The girl, who is Is
years old. says she had her mothers consent
to come with this troupe, and further claims
that she cannot get along with Pat. Rooney
was TO appear in syraense, n, -, last night,
but broke the engage ment TO follow his step,
daughter. Both are TO have hearing this
afternoon.
Pat should remember that he has $4,000
waiting for him in Woodstown, whenever
he can establish his right TO it, none OF
which has yet been paid.
