WORLD OF SPORTS.

Stafford is pitching great ball for Worcester right along. He is the stead jest in his work of any of the twirlers belonging to that team.
 Jack Remsen has caught on again. He is manager of the Mansfield, Ohio, club in place of Chris Meisel, lost in the Johnstown disaster.
 Great interest is centered in the game of ball between the Stars of Norwich and the Acmes of this city to take place on the West End grounds to-mor- row afternoon. The Stars call themselves the champion amateur team of the state and as the Acmes claim to be the best team Waterbury can produce. an exciting game may be expected. There should be a large attendance.
 There is no use denying the fact the Giants are in hard luck. Keefe is in Massachusetts attending his sisters tu neral, Welch is down with ma a a Ward has lame arm, Slattery a broken finger and Crane has a bad knee. It is not surprising that the Giants are not carrying everything before them.

EXERCISES AT NOTRE DAME.

Commencement Exercises Presided
 Over by Rt. Rev Bishop NlcMahon.
 The twentieth annual commencement exercises of the convent of Notre Dame were held last evening. The attendance nounced through the DEMOCRAT was successfully rendered. The exercises were presided over by Right Rev Bishop McMahon of Hartford assisted by a large number of priests. Besides the local Catholic clergy there were present Rev Fathers Pagan of Naugatuck, Sher- idan and Cunningham of Windsor Locks. Slocum of Norwalk and Andrew Harty of Hartford. The exercises opened with grand march of forty-four hands. The selection was difficult but was rem dered with unusual excellence and finish, as indeed was the entire musical portion of the programme. The salutatory by Miss J. Mckenna was happy address and well rendered. The little ones party by the younger pupils was especially interesting and the aptitude displayed by the children is a matter of congratu- lation for the painstaking sisters of the institution. An address by Miss A. McGinn was an excellent illustration of the capabilities in the field of literature of the scholars in the senior department. To the scholars perhaps the most inter- estiug part of the exercises was the presentation of medals by the right reverend bishopto those who had shown the most progress in the different studies during the year. No diplomas were conferred. the senior class by unanimous desire remaining in the convent for another year.

He gave his age as 25, and stated that he had come to Hartford at his mothers suggestion to endeavOr to free himself from excessive drinking to which he was addicted. On the afternoon be- fore the murder he went into the city with a number of the other patients to get shaved. While in Hartford he wis ited number of saloons with another patient named Roberts and drank con siderable liquor. Late in the evening witness and Roberts were going down Asylum street and meeting sausage vender ordered a couple of sausages. The sausages were handed over and the vendor requested 10 cents for pay ment. Witness put his hand into his pocket and took out D cents. at the same time opening his knife with which he was to cut the sausage preparatory to eating 1t.

 Some strong language passed between the two, ,culminating in Galvins striking witness in the face with his hand. Witness instantly returned the blow forgetful of the presence of the knife in his hand, striking Calvin on the head The point of the blade broke off on coming ill contact with Galvin's head Witness and Roberts then ran, the former stating that it was natural for him to do so. knowing he was involved in trouble.
 On returning to Miners saloon they each drank three glasses of whiskey and each bought d pint of whiskey to take home with them. Witness did not show the knife to Roberts ill the saloon and denied having related to the bartender that he had jammed knife into Galvin's head or having re- quested the barkeeper to keep the knife for him.
 The two men then hired d hack and were driven to the institution. hiding the whiskey in a hedge fence before entering and drank it in the morning.
 Dr Brothers told witness in the morn ing that he must go home, as he was de- irving no benefit front his stay there Witness then clipped off his mustache of three weeks growth, packed his trunk and was driven to the depot in the afternoon. He threw the knife away at Roberts suggestion.
