THE FLORAL WEDDING.

THE FLORAL WEDDING.
Once, in the Morning Glory,
had an odd conceit
Sweet William was n bridegroom,
The bride Marguerite
And Violet was the bridesmaid,
She combed the Maiden's Hair
With dainty bit OF Cockscomb,
Found in the garden fair,
The priest, good Johnny Jumpup.
A fitting Monks Hood wore,
And said the rite in silence,
AS nc'er was said before.
"Now may you Livc-for ever"
The guests united said
Fair Lilly, tall and stately,
Just bowed her qucenly head,
But Rose went up with bushes,
And kissed the winsome bride;
Here too, was Bachelor Button,
With Daisy by his side.
When Blue bell rang for breakfast,
They went in two by two;
How Bouncing Betty hurried,
She had SO much to dol
They ate the butter and.the- Eggs,
The Honey suckles too,
And then, from golden Buttercups
They slipped the morning dew.
They tanned with Princes Feathers,
And all were gay, ween;
"No room is here for Bleeding Hearts"
Cuoth Lady in the Green.
And some Wore Lady Slippers,
Aud danced to music fine,
OF Lily bells a swinging,
All in The glad sunshine
50, from the Morning Glory
Till -Four O'clock they stayed;
Dear flowers OF the upland,
Sweet blossoms of the glade

RAILROAD RuMBLINGs.
Combination of the Consolidated
 and New England Roads Would

Combination of the Consolidated
 and New England Roads Would
 Make Freight Rates High.
 The people of Connecticut watch for no railroad news with keener interest than for the rumor relating to consoli- dation Of the Consolidated railroad sys tenn and the New York and New Eng land. The plan of consolidation is favored by those who travel a great deal. The consolidation of the two sys- tems is opposed by the freight interests, particularly at and about the points where competition is now possible. The manufacturers fear railroad monop- oly, and the absorption of the New | New York and New England by the Consolidated would mean absolute
 monopoly in Connecticut.
 | New Britain and Waterbury are the two most important points at which the
 two roads come together with great possibilities of competition. Merlden
 might be classed with these cities in the event of New York 6 New England
 control of the Meriden, Waterbury & Connecticut River road. At New ] Britain and also at Waterbury the New | York & New England road has the
 advantage in carrying Boston or Hart ford and Connecticut River freights. | In the New York traffic, which of course l is of far greater importance, the Consoli- l dated has the more direct lines, but the New York &, New England carries fair share of the freight. The latter
 road has been accused, however, by
 disinterested persons of carrying freight
 at far below cost in order to do a large 1 business and make its existence felt.
 The New York 6 New England road
 will carry coal from the Hudson river to
 Hartford or to Holyoke, where strong
 competition is met, at very low rate,
 making its profit in much higher rates
 to intermediate stati ms where compet1-
 tion is impossible. It is for this reason
 that at the points where competition is
 beneficial, the possibility of consolida- l tion is feared

TELEPHONE RATES.

The Metallic Circuit Win Be Used For All Out of Town Connections After January l. 1890.
 On and after the first of January, 1890, the Southern New England Tele phone company will make all out of town connections over the new system of metallic circuit, as far as possible, disseminating the old grounded wire system.
 The rates for communication between exchanges ill the state will be as fol- lows:
 Between a. m. and p. m., 9 cents for five minutes or fraction thereof, and between 6 p. m. and 7 a. m., 15 cents for five minutes or fraction.
 Subscribers who do a large intertOwn business can avail themselves of liberal discount by the purchase of extra-terri- torial communication books, amounting to 5000 worth, and upwards. These books are good between all points in the state and until used.
 The metallic service offered the public by this company is comparatively new, and highly satisfactory in all its work ings. The vast difference between the old grounded circuit system and the new metallic must be apparent to all sub- scribers who have had occasion to make use of it.
 The company will very shortly issue a new and complete list of about 100 pub lie stations, throughout the state. These stations are equipped with long distance instruments and are designed for the use of non-suhscribers, who can hold conversations of five minutes with any subscriber in the same town where the station is located, for 10 cents, with any subscriber out of town but in the same divsiion 15 cents.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The brotherhood base bali rules for next year require two umpires, one be hind the bat and the other in the field: enlarge the pitchers box to 6 by 4, and allow fielder to catch ball ill any way but in his hat or cap.
 The Hartfords with Sealy and Cotter in the rush line. were defeated by the Meridens last night, by the score of 6 to 5.
 Mike Herman has refused to sign a Players league contract at present, be- cause his price is S3, 300 while the new league managers cannot pay more than $2, 800. Mike thinks that he is worth as much as O'Rourke.
 Con Daily says there is no doubt in his mind about the success of the new league and he IS glad he has signed with the Brooklyn Players League club. Among the men who are likely to be Players league umpires are Jobn Kelly, Bobby Matthews, Billy Holbert, Tom Cunning, Lon Knight and Charles Jones.
 Mike Burns, the packer of Heating, the light weight wrestler. has engaged the rink for Monday December 30, and will back Heating against Gibbons of Naugatuck, the winner to take $50 purse and the entire gate receipts. The victor in the match will then challenge the state for the light weight champions ship.
 FLYERS vS BLUES.
 The Springfield polo team which was to have played with the Waterbury | team failed to appear last night and the New Haven Flyers were telegraphed for and arrived on the last train. The very large audience present were perfectly satisfied with the exhibition given by the two teams. The Flyers played Connors and Woodke, rushers; Phelan, l center; Reed half back, and Allen goal. Waterbury, Griffin and E. Whiting, rushers: w. Whiting, center; H. Whit | ing half back, and Messer goal. The referee George E. Harrington, although making efforts to do the square thing, is hardly a suitable man for the posi- ton. He makes himself probably too officious and for that reason received the misses of the majority of the people present, who were apparently not in sympathy with his decisions. Four fouls were called on New Haven and two on Waterbury. Messer as goal tender for Waterbury, was not success and put up a poor game. All in all however, the boys played we'll and made the New Haven's hustle. The score at finish was, New Haven 8, Waterbury 4 ". D. Ford acted as time keeper.
