 The bill of fare having been discussed, cigars and the national sport were taken up.

MT Commerford gave some interesting reminiscences of old fashioned base ball when he played the game in Har- lem over thirty years ago. He also referred to early base ball in this city and of his connection with the national game here. Messrs Meyer, Keenan, Riley, Sweeney Connolly, Smith, Hines and McGrath made brief remarks, wishing MT Connor success and he pleasantly responded. Af- ter songs by MT Connor and MT Hines the company gave three cheers and tiger for Roger and sang "Auld Lang Syne" with hands joined.

A BUILDING ORDINANCE. One That Will Regulate the Thickness
 of Brick Walls Needed.

The question of passing an ordinance regulating the thickness of brick walls In buildings has been called to the attention of the court of common council several times but nothing has ever been done. There would perhaps seem to be no neces- sity for such an ordinance as the building that is not properly constructed is the ex- ception rather than the rule, but there ought to be something to prevent there being any unsafe or poorly constructed buildings The danger arises especially in case of fire. when the walls are liable to | fall New Haven has a building ordinance that was passed in 1882. Itssstepulates that 1 the walls of buildings for stores, etc, shall | be constructed as follows:
 Three stories high, 12 inches thick to the roof: stories, 16 inches to beam of second l floor more than stories 16 inches to the third story and 12 inches to the roof. Brick dwellings 3 stories shall have walls inches thick and story dwellings 12 inches to the secnond floor and inches to the roof These conditions imposed on New Haven people are generally complied with in this city in buildings recently erected. There are some noticeable exceptions but no comparisons are made in the figures given below The reader is left to select the poorer constructed buildings from the better.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

The Waterburys play at Hartford to- night.
 The next meeting of the Connecticut state league takes places on Tuesday next at the Atlantic hotel Bridgeport.
 On Monday next, Dan Shannon, wife and child, together with MT and Mrs Thos Lovett, John Campana, George Wilson, Jimmie Cooney and Edward Cashen will leave for Omaha, where they are to play ball this season.
 John Smith emphatically denies that he has ever received dollar from anybody to lose a game, but admits receiving money from New Haven for games where Bridge port has defeated Hartford. Smith says he has been fined S20 by the Bridgeport man agement and appears to be exceedingly wroth as a consequence. Pierce asserts that Smith received $10 at one time from New Haven and S25 on another occasion but claims that other member of the Bridgeport team has been guilty of any such indiscretion. John Smiths action in taking money from outside sources is, to say the least, open to adverse criticism and is undeniably a breach of league regula- tions.-Bridgepor News.

THE QUESTION OF SEWERAGE.
Important Opinion of Two supreme
 Court Judges.

The recent opinion of Chief Justice Park and MT Justice Carpenter of the supreme court of errors, to whom was submitted the appeals of property holders in New London from sewer assessments, will be read with interest in this city It sustains the board in all it's assessments. The issue involved some complicated law questions and the case was so novel and important: that the uncommon procedure of submitting the matter to two supreme court justices was agreed to by the parties concerned. The decision settles the authority of the com mission to enforce public sewerage, mat ter which has been disputed from the time the first steps were taken to introduce the system in New London, several months ago. It also settles the question of the right of the board to discontinue any pri- vate sewers that may exist and gives the commissioners absolute control of the wa ters of the harbor in so far as the board shall desire to prevent owners of land abutting on the water from emptying sew craze into such waters. The decision is what was expected by many, but it was a big surprise to the appellants

The performance of Hi Henry's min strels before a large audience, at the Opera house last evening, can be summed up in a very few words. It was the poorest Hi Henrys any other minstrel troupe ever gave in this city. That portion of the programme contributed by the Shelvey brothers of this city, had special interest for the audience, and the performers were upon recall, presented with floral de- signs.

A DRAWING ROOM MUSEE.
A Wonderful Exhibition to be Given at
 Music Hall.

People who visited the great centennial exhibition at Philadelphia in 1876 and took tEe tro lble to look around the big Corliss engine in machinery hall saw reproduc- tion Of the huge machine running on two and half dollar gold piece. It excited wonder and dismay. What then must be the surprise of people when they see large collection of miniature locomotives, steamboats, fire engines and various other machinery constructed of silver and gold all running at the same time. This, how ever, is what is promised to Waterbury people and is found in an exhibition which is called the drawing room musee and which will open at music hall Friday after afternoon, continuing this and next week. It will be open afternoon and evening.
 The collection, which is sid to be worth $5O, ,OOO, has been on exhibition at Hart ford, where it has been largely patronized. People may be inclined to the belief that it constitutes lot of clap trap, but such is not the case, as witness the following from the Hartford Times: "The exhibit is in no sense dime museum. It is on the contrary costly and unique display of rich and valuable models and wonderful mechanical figures. The attendance yes terday and last night was large, and drew out critical and intelligent class of spec tators who away highly pleased with what they saw"
