WORLD OF SPORTS.

Haven 5, Springfield f.
 A fair sized audience greeted the two floor of the rink last evening to compete for the second game. Both teams played a good game, but Go A won the fight through the better knowledge of polo and the good playing of the rushers. Beaucamp, goal tender for Co G, again made good record, having 16 stops to 8 credited to Miller of Co A. The dance which was to have taken place after the game was postponed for various reasons.

Benefits Likely to Result From the
 Housatonic Extension.
 (From the New York Journal of Commerce.l
 One who did not understand the facts of the case might suppose from the state ments of the monopoly apologists that the Housatonic railroad company is guilty of some criminal design in seeking the extension of its tracks to New York, thus furnishing by it's connection with the New England line at Hawleyville the much needed rival route. The of fense of the ambitious Housatonic amounts merely to this: It is petitioning the Connecticut legislature for permis- sion to increase its capital stock by $4, 300 ,OOO, it's only object at present be- ing to construct branch to Norwalk, there to connect with steamers for New York. There is no reason to doubt the sincerity of this explanation. But to build such a branch would be, of course, to bring the Housatonic terminus so much nearer the goal of the metropolis. And the old monopoly is bound to fight everything that tends, however remotely to the establishment of the parallel road it so much dreads.
 The Interests of the State.
 From the Union Press.l
 The battle at the capitol between the railroads grows more and more interest ing, and if an old adage proves true, the rival lawyers will bring out some very queer testimony in regard to railroad management before the hearing is over. President Starbuck, of the Housatonic certainly pursued a very safe policy when he found his memory so faulty in regard to many matters. Just at atpresent the Housatonic is on the rack, but they have a strong case and deserve to have their petition granted. The Connecticut legislature has made itself very unen- viable reputation in others states for its subserviancy to the interests of the Con- solidated road. It is high time it should shake off this thraldom, allow each road to come before it on equal terms and judge the case purely on its merits. Be governed by the interests of the state gentlemen, not by the size of the lobby

AMUSEMENTS. A
Yale Glee Club.

0Ac OAee SIuDs
 The Yale concert announced to take place at the opera house next Monday evening is attracting great deal of at tention and undoubtedly one of the largest and most fashionable audiences of the season will be present. The special train from New Haven and Meriden will carry large delegation of Yale students besides many others.
 Minstrel Magnates.
 The audience of the Haverly Cleveland mlnstrels at the opera house is awaited with eagerness by the admirers of that ever popular form of amusement. This company, the immediate successor to Col Jacks original Mastodons-the "4o-count-' ,'-is under the personal management of w. S. Cleveland, who. despite youthfulness, has firmly estab- ished himself in solid and reputable position in the managerial ranks. The company includes Frank Cushman, R.G Knowles, J. Marcus Doyle. Leopold and Bunnell Herbert Crowley Banks Winter, James Norrie, Stowe and Randall, and others. departure from traditional minstrelsy is offered in the shape of Den kichi Takaragawas troupe of twelve Japanese, whose performances include equilibrism, juggling, necromancy, tum- bling, contortion, music, &c.
 Fat Mems Club.
 Thin men can laugh as we'll as fat. That was amply proved last night at the opera house when everybody present laughed till his sides ached over the fun ny antics and the ridiculous situations of John c. Stewart as he was led through the mysteries of initiation in the Fat Mems Club. With little quickening of the action in several places and 1ess straining after verbosity in the dialogue the piece, which was presented last nj ight for the first time in this city, is certain to attain it's purpose of making its audi ences laugh. There were some very clever people in the cast, the acrobatic work of the De Bolean brothers being particularly fine. Miss May Sheridan and Miss Lottie Hyde gave very pretty song and dance, and Miss Cushman and Miss Swanton were excellent in their roles. The ballet dance of the six fat men was specially good feature. Al together it was a very pleasing perform ance and should increase the reputation for merry-making that MT Stewart had already earned in his play of the 1.-Two Johns."

Admiral eherardrs MISSION.


The Kearsarge, in command OF Admiral
Gherardi. sailed for Hayti q day or two
ago. TIE impression is that the admiral
has been intrusted with an important mis-
zion The character of 1t is q secret TIE
government refuses 20 give any informa-
ton about IL
The latest dispatches that have been re-
ceived from Hayti state that Gen. Hyp-
polite has the upper hand, and that Legi-
time is preparing to leave the capital, if he
has not already done SO. This informa-
ton. however, may not be strictly correct.
1t viii be known within few days, proba-
bly,, whether il is or not
OF course the supporters of Legitime are
very bitter toward this country. Ten Euro
pean powers have recogn zed Legitime's
government, and if it had been recognized
by this country the war doubtless would
have been over long ago.
Mr. Cleveland's administration declared
that there was no lawful government in
Hayti, because Legitime had not been cleo
ted president in accordance with the consti-
tuition Of Hayti The president is elected
by the chamber, and it requires 43 votes of
that body TO elect him. 1t is alleged that
Legitime received only Al. He, howe yer,
declares that he received 10. This govern
ment does not believe his statement. If it
did it would recognize his government
probably at once.
Mr.. Cleveland's administration insisted
that the blockade established by Legitime
was only a paper one. Mr.. Harr;son's ad-
ministration maintains the same view. The
consequence is that parties in New York
have been able to furnish Hyppolite all the
arms aud am nunition of which he has any
need. But for tbs assistance it is probable
that he wo1ld not have been able to carry
on war agai-st Legitime for any consid-
cradle time
Of course there are stories afloat which
make it appear that this country has
favored Hypp lite. 1t is even said that
Hyppolite has agreed, in case he is success
full, to provide lis country with coaling
station in Hayti. 1t is also asserted that
the north part of Hayti, of which Hippo
lite has possession, is rich in mahogany and
mineral deposits, and that a New York
company has been granted valuable con-
cessions by Hyppolite Governing the
mahogany and the mineral deposits.
There may be nothing in these stories. The
chance is that there isn't. The stories NAV
have teen set afoat to bring the policy of
this government relative to Haytian affairs
| into dispute.
There does not seem to be any doubt that
the authorities at Washington have great
deal more Information about Haytian af-
fairs than they care to disclose at this time.
Secrecy may be necessary to accomplish
the object they are aiming at. In that
event it may be some time before anything
definite i, known relative to the govern
ments Haytian policy.

Evidencas Of . Policy wanttne.


The fact that the Presidents home organ.
the Indianapolis Journal, is rather erratic
in dealing with public questions is apt 20
create the impression that the President has
no settled policy with respect 70 some very
important matters. Fer instance, one day
last week the Journal had strong editorial
commencing what il understood to be the
Presidents policy Of permitting officials ap-
pointed for soecified terms 10 serve out their
terms, unless good cause existed for
their removal The following day it
virtually took back all it said the previous
dsy on this p int, and sneered at those who
objected to removals for purely political
reasons. The inference Is that between the
appearance Of the first and second editorials
tie President had been heard from TO the
effect that no policy had tesn adopted rela-
tive 70 officials appointed for specified
terms.
here is 10 doubt that great many off,
cials appointed for four years by Mr.. Cleve-
land have not yet been disturbed, and they
may not be. The President may have rea-
sons for permitting them TO serve out the
terms for which they were appointed But
a great many officials appointed for speci-
fed terms have been removed for purely
political reasons. A few days ago q terri
torial judge was removed, aud when he de-
mandsd to know if there were any charges
against him he was told, in a round
about way, that the President
wanted To appoint some one else
TO the Office he held. The postmaster
at Vineland, n. j., was removed for purely
political reasons, although he had served
only two of the four years for which he
was appointed. He was such a satisfactory
official that many republicans Of Vineland
protested against his removal
Many otner instances could be given, but
these are sufficient to show that the Presi-
dent has no policy respecting officials
appointed for specified terms In removing
or retaining them he is guided wholly
by circumstances. The inference from the
Presidents course in this matter is that
each individual case is dealt with
separately.

AN Important Rlection.

The election to be held in this county on
July 3, on the question of fence" or mo
fence" is very important one What is
meant by a ''no fence" law? Briefly, it is
this: Under such law, owners of stock are
required 10 fence IN their cattle so as to pre-
vent them from running upon the lands OF
others. Having done this, they may tear
down all other fences, or allow them to re-
main, as they choose
The law is very simple one. On the one
hand it saves expense to the people who
adopt it, and on the other it puts money
into their pockets.
The depredations Of stray stock are not
only URGE of annoyance to farmers and
others, but they eau very considerable
loss in the aggregate. Under the mo fencen
law, both the annoyance and the loss are
averted.
Another saving under the law is in
feTces. To keep farm we'll fenced re-
quires money and time, whereas under the
mo fence" law the timber for fences can
be put to other uses, and the time formerly
consumed by hands in building and repair
ing fences can be consumed in other work.
Considerably more land is available for
cultivation under the mo fencen law. Not
only can the old fence corners be used, but
the land can be cultivated almost to the
edges of the roads. This land, not having
been partially exhausted by cultivation, is
frequently the best on farm.
The fencing in of stock results in better
pastures, in more attention to stock, and in
LoAAa H., -.
counties where the mo fence" law is in
operation that in few years the scrub"
stock disappeared almost entirely, the bet
ter grades having been substituted for it.
The ''no fence" law greatly encourages
dairy farming. In some of the counties n
Middle Georgia where it has been adopted
the people now eat the freshest and sweet
est Jersey butter where formerly they used
an inferior article, or bought Goshen but
ter. Where formerly they made only
enough butter to supply their home
demands, now they make enough to
supply the people of the county
sites and to ship considerable quantities In
one Middle Georgia county, since the adop-
ton of this law, the farmers have run
Goshen and inferior butter ous of the
county, and they now ship between $1,000
and $1,000 pounds annually. This county
is Putnam, and inquiry would establish the
fact that its butter industry was one of the
results of the ''no-fencen law.
The law has been adopted by many coun-
ties in this state, and in most instances it
has worked so well that after a year or
two even those who we're opposed to it be-
fore its adoption became advocates Of it.
Indeed, many of its strongest advocates to-
day are people who forme l. were opposed
to it. Ii is safe to say that no county which
adopts it will want to GET rid of it.
