Grand Canton Sassacus Wins in Last
Nights Contest at the Polo Rx1nk-A
Large Throng Attends.
The second competitive drill between the
Grand canton of Springfield and Grand Can
ton Sassacus of this city occurred in the Polo
rink last evening. These drills for supremacy
have excited considerable interest throughout
this State and Massachusetts,. The first drill
took place in Springfield short time ago, the
Grand canton of that city winning Shortly
after 8 O'Clock last night Weeds Military
band of Hartford began a short concert pro.
gramme, which was highly enjoyed by the
large crowd in attendance. One piece called
the Railroad Galop" which they played
drew long encore. A large number of
Springfield friends came down with their
canton. The staff of the brigade and the
members of the stats of the First and Second
regiments were present. About 9:15 O'Clock
the Sassacus escorted their opponents upon
the skating surface of the rink. The judges
of the friendly contest were Brigadier Gene
raj G. B. Foster of New Haven, Major General
G. F. Amidon of Springfield. Captain F. V.
Chaplin of New Britain.
The Springfield canton comprised twenty
four men. They were commanded by Captain
j. L. Strong, First Lieutenant W c. Fielding
and Second Lieutenant W. 81. Barton Their
drilling was very fine. Some of their best
manoeuvres were marching by threes, Wheel
ing by company and hollow square. But they
were poor in platoon wheeling and platoon
Their fast step, which, by the
way, is 100 to the minute, was admired by
everyone. There were on the floor about
thirty-Gve minutes.
After prolonged applause Sassscus marched
out, and by their almost perfect 1Aaneuvres
showed that they must have spent long time
since the last competitive drill in acquiring
many new movements aud perfect
ing the old. All their general march,
ing, platoon movements and wheeling
were excellent. Their fancy movements
rather surprised their opponents, among
them being a single cross, double cross, hol-
low square hour glass and a reversing hour
glass. The performed the manual of arms by
command perfectly, they also did the
manual at the tap of the drum and the silent
manual. The drill occupied about thirty
minutes. After it was over it was apparent |
to everyone present that the Sassacus ex-
celled their opponents and would win the |
drill. Then dancing was enjoyed by large
number. At 1915 Gen. Thomas announced
that the Sassacus won the drill. The third
and last drill will take place in Hartford dur |
ing the month of April under the auspices of |

A Word About Gatarrh.

1t is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi
fluid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues OF
the air and food passages that Catarrh makes its
stronghold Once established, it eats into the very
vitals and renders life but a long drawn breath Of
misery and disease, duling the sense of hearing,
trammelling tbs power of speech, destroying the
faculty of SMELL taste and the breath, and killing
the refined pleasure of taste Insidiously by creep
ing on from simple cold in the head, it assaults
the membranous lining and envelopes the bones,
eating through the delicate coats and causing IN
fiammstion, sloughing and death. Nothing short
of total eradication will secure health to Inc pa
fient and all alternatives simply procrastinated
suferings, leading to fatal Termination san,
ford's Radical Cure, by inhalation and by Internal
administration, has never failed; even when the
disease has made frIghtful inroads on delicate con-
stitutions, hearing smell and taste have been re-
covered, and the disease thoroughly driven out; ~
Sanford's Radical Cure meets every phase OF Ca
tarrh. from simple head cold to the most loath-
some and destructive stages 1t s local and consti
tutionaI. Instant in relieving, permanent in cur
ing safe, economical and never-failing.

louisville, March 1.-The exodus of
Reading engineers and freHen to Chicago re-
ceived check tonight in a manner which
may eventually give an important turn to
the status Of the Reading strike. Secretary
Joseph Cahill, who for the past few days has
been in Chicago in the interest Of the Reading
Knights of Laber engineers, tonight sent the
following telegram to Chairman Lee:
CHICAGO, March 1.
P. NJ. Arthur will issue order to night to all B.
work. Do not permit any Of our men to here.
(signed) JOSEPH CAH1LL.
Chairman Lee replied directing Secretary
Cahill to see that Chief Arthur made his
promise or otherwise to secure all possible
employment on the Burlington and Quincy
for Reading men. Lee says he is not def
nitely informed as TO the number of brother
hood engineers now in the service of the
Reading company, but feels confident the
number is sufficiently large that their with
drawal will at once seriously enbarrass the
road.
Chief Arthur of the brotherhood did not
meet the c., B. & Q. officials to-day it was
far from settlement as ever: The railroad !
company claim to be running more
passenger trains and to be gene
rally getting the better of the strikers
The latter have held mysterious meetings
and claim to have trump card which they
will soon play. The local press bureau at
late hour furnishes this: Intelligence of I'M
doubted reliability was secured at a late hour
to the effect that the chairman of the engi
neers and fremen's grievance committees
upon all the railroad lines interesting
parallel to or connected with the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy system will meet in
this city tomorrow or next day. This meet
ing is preparatory to general strike upon
all these lines. This includes the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, the Chicago and
Alton, the Northwestern, the Rock Island
and the Minnesota and Northwestern.
