THE NATIONAL GAME.

Again tho New Ravens are Defeated
 They Play Like Amateurs-Players
 Released-Mead Signed as Pitcher
 The W1lkesbarres VIII Play To-Day.
 The people of New Haven are wondering if they really have base ball team. The team has won none and lost ten. They played the Wilkesbarres yesterday, and the exhibition of ball playing they gave was simply disgraceful to a professional team. People cannot be blamed for being disgusted with such ball playing. The players showed no spirit and played listlessly from start to finish.
 The only features of the game were Horn er's pitching and Brady's work. Galligan in left field was about as lazy as he possibly could be. He seems to be weak on ground balls, and invariably holds the ball and does not return it to the infield as he should do.
 The game began with the Wilkesbarres at the bat. Petit struck out, but Warner missed the third strike and threw the ball on Sheehan's huff of Brady's throw. He scored on Irwin's hit, which took a bad bound over Fitzgerald's head. Beecher hit to Fitzgerald, who fumbled. Brady then made brilliant play by throwing Black out at first base, on which Irwin and Beecher scored A double play by Fitzgerald, Shee- han and Lally retired the side. Result, three earned runs.
 For New Haven Galligan got first base on balls Walsh hit at the ball when it was about two feet beyond his bat and struck out. Brady flied out to Black, and Lally struck out.
 In the second Murphy and Petit fouled out to Warner and Roach struck out. Cor coran, who always hits well, got in two- bagger. Sheehan struck out. Fitzgerald's safe hit sent Corcoran home.
 Three runs came in in the third and three bases on balls, two steals, huff by Sheehan of fly that Galligan's laziness prevented his getting, and wild throw by Horner. Gal- ligan, Walsh and Lally struck out.
 Neither side acored in the fourth or fifth.
 In the sixth GalEgan muffed two flies. Horner did not try to pitch, and he was hit rather freely. He said there was no use throwing his arm out with the way he was being backed up. Rain stopped the game.

 F. T. Barnum occupied yesterday his new and elegant home Marina. The Standard says the rooms are exceedingly beautiful and luxurious, and that externally the house is simple and quiet in design, stately in effect, and built well and substantially of stone, brick and terra cotta. The entrance doors are pair of great massive oak doors, which for color and design might have been trans ported bodily from some fifteenth century chateau or old manor house of a still earlier period. The style of the carving is pure Romanesque. The whole interior is elegant ly decorated and adorned.

The Hooslers Defeated.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Washington Indianapolis game to-day was characterized by heavy batting on both sides and very bad fielding on the part of the visitors, and to this they can attribute their defeat. When the nome club went to the bat in the ninth inning the score stood 10 to against them and without making hit they scored three runs. This was due to the general demorali- zation of Glasscock, ,Seery, Bassett and Hines. Healey in the same inning made the fourth run on his hit over the fence. Wise played 8 fine game at short-feld despite his two errors which were damaging. Carney was injured in sliding to first base and retired in favor of Albright. The score:

YALE CAMPUS NOTES.

Harvard and Yale Gun ClubB-Fence
 Orator Elected Last NiEht-The Foot
 Ball Team CaptaIncy.
 D The Harvard Shooting club has extended an invitation to the Gun club here to take part in the tournament May 25, on their grounds in Watertown, Mass. This match is open to all colleges and each team limited to five men, each man to shoot at thirty birds. The invitation has been accepted and a committee chosen to select the team that will represent the club. To-day there will be held trial shoot from II 8. m. till 4 p. m. for those trying for the team.
 The Freshman class held @ meeting last evening, Jackson, go, presiding, and elected Bayne, Record editor, fence orator. It is expected that his experience as an editor of that facetious periodical will prove 8 great assistance in the time of noisy demonstra- tions and that he will neatly parry the thrusts of his Sophomore adversary with true old time and of Freshman year superior ity.
 Professor Ripley, formerly professor here in German, was in town over Sunday. He is st present engaged in business in Boston, and has leetured at Harvard during last win- ter.
 Rhodes, 50 it seems, has resigned the cap- taincy of the foot ball team though the fact is kept very quiet hereabouts. There is no evident reason why he should do so except ing perhaps, that some one else may have the position The knowing ones say that it is to be Gill who will come back here next year tor a post graduate course, and ss Rhodes is still Sophomore 'tis not at all unlikely that he will have the position again the year after. Gill certainly will make one of the best captains in years and his work for the last three years on the team and crew are well worth the honor. Last year he had to be sacrificed on account of Corbin and Woodruff taking the two places and his re- ward though late is to come now.

This attachment was placed on all the property of the company through out the State little over 8 month ago.

A Novel Use of Electricity Which Sur prises the Eastern People.

Novel Use of Electricity Which Sur
 prises the Eastern People.
 The Kearney brick works of Kearney, Nebraska, are now using an electric motor to furnish power for the manufacture of brick. This company have capacity of s5, 900 bricks day, of which 25, 900 are dry pressed brick. It rather surprises eastern people who have been accustomed to the methods used in their section of the country to visit brick works where the power is secured by electricity.
 The magnificent water power of Kearney is used by the electric company, SO they can furnish 500 horse power per day at & rate per horse power per annum about half the cost of steam power in the East. The Kearney paper mill uses 100 horse power and one of their motors is of 65 horse power; it is one of the largest motors in practical use in the world. Many other manufacturing establishments in Kearney are now using or arranging to use electric motors to furnish them power.

 Smith, Dillon, Carsey, Morgan and Dave Corcoran were released last night. Smith and Dillon are good catchefs for any team. They are not kept because there is no room for them.
 Jack Corcoran was last night appointed captain of the New Havens It is to be hoped that he has some executive abifitv and will not be stick captain. Let him put some snap into the playing and have hisarien do some coaching. A good head on the field is what the team is now lacking. Tah

INCREASED WATER SUPPLY.
 Busy Times Laying New and Larger
 Supply Pipe In Various Parts of the
 City.
 The Water company has been busy this spring, as also the case last fall, in laying new and larger mains about the city in con- tinuation of it's policy of increasing the wa ter supply both for domestic and fire de- partment use, also in laying service pipe in new streets where no water has hitherto been supplied. Superintendent Granniss finished few days ago laying six inch main the whole length of Mechanic street, 8 measure which had been much desired by William J. Atwater, Mir. Forsyth and other large prop erty owners in the street, as the street is in rapidly growing section of New Haven, and the only drawback to the further increase of houses upon it was the absence of water pipes. A new six or eight inch pipe has al- so just been laid on Lawrence street, from Mechanic to Nash streets, on which street MT. AtWater and others have land which they wish soon to build upon. This pipe will also accommodate the new school build ing, which the city is soon to erect on the corner of Nash and Lawrence streets, pro- posals for the erection of which are now be- ing figured upon by the builders. Also Su- perintendent Granniss has just finished lay- ing for the Water company another section of the new twelve inch main on State street. which completes this main from Grove street at Hooker's shop to Edwards street or be- yond. This large main takes the place of the old one which was considerably smaller A new and larger line of pipe has inst been laid from Grove street from State street to Whitney avenue. In other parts of the city new pipes will be laid as fast as practicable
