GENERAL ARMSTRONG
Before the New Haven Branch of thu
 State Indian Association.

Before the New Haven Branch of the
 State Indian Association.
 After the lecture in Marquand chapel yes terday afternoon, General Armstrong talked for about an hour in the United church nectiout Indian association. His hearers were mostly ladies. His talk was informal and very interesting.
 He said that the most important and noticeable points in study of the Indians was their life and character. In portraying their actions of life, he said that the old mode of living in tents was much more healthful than by houses, but very unfavor- able on tbe moral side. In this manner he showed that they suffered somewhat from the transition. ''The red races," he contin- ued, over the whole earth succumbed easi- est The yellow races, however, are at the other extreme, are most distinct in character and yield the least. They are too much for us in numbers and vitality. The black races hold their own and are 8 medium between the two, perhaps. They cringe and assinilate, but do not die out. Nevertheless, the red races present fine types of individual ity, and DO more quick or keen judges of men and character are to be found than
 
 difference between lady and gentleman as much as they do between the strong and the weak man. They are always on the pbysi- cal side.
 He said that wonderful change had come over the whole Indian race in ten years. They have given up their wild dress and lan- guage and the spirit of progress is fast trans forming them. He attributed much of this rapid change to the contact with 8 rough ele- ment of white men. tIt is a nice question, |" said he, ''to comprehend whether missionary work or material progress should be first thought of. The rough edge of civilization helps to break down their superstitions and as the white man improves the Indian pro- gresses with him."
 Eastern friendship he thought great boon to the Indian. Fair play must be had now because of this interest and the Indian is sure to have all that he deserves. The House of Representatives he considered great stum- bling block to Indian matters. The Dawes bill now pending would treat them very fair ly and tend to their advancement in educa- tion and wealth. 'sThs Indians are great debaters and pride themselves on a quiet, large mindedness which weighs everything. The great trouble with them is that they are terrible gamblers, often stalking all and los ing, and hard drinkers"

 So many are the celebrated races of cattle in both Europe and America that 1t must De really something out of the common to call marked attention of the general Paoilc at large. This is the present case.
 In this city are we'll matched pair or cat tie which may be properly called "the giants of the pigmiee''
 The first of this remarkable pair is 8 per- feetly formed full grown bull whose dlmin- utive dimensions are as follows: Length from crown to rump, 33 inches; night at shoulder, g inches; weight, 95 pounds; length of horns, eight inches each; span between tips of horns, 14 inches.
 This animal is of cattle-red color perfect ly formed in every respect ard is two years, nine months old.
 The dam of this wonderful animal is also another prodigy, whose demensions are: length, 37 inches, night 24 inches; weight, SS lbs; lenght of horn, 4115 inches; span of tips, eight inches: color, bright red, intermingled with white on lower part of body. These wonderful curiosities are the oG- spring of full grown Salvador cattle and are the property of Mr T. s. Holman, who in- tends conveying the animals to Paris for the forthcoming exhibition.

 We trust that MT.

THRoNGs OF LIVELY SKATERS.


 Hundreds Who Love the sport Those Who Enjoyed she Fine Skat- ing
 It would be difficult to imagine a more varied panorama of life and pleasure than Lake Witney presented yesterday afternoon and evening. It is in the prime of the win ter's season when skating is found in its fairest field of glassy ice, exhiliarating at mosphere and moonlight nights, and the hundreds who enjoy the sportive spins over the smooth congealed surfaces turn the face of the lake into an area more inviting than any other amusement to an enthusiastic lov- CT of the sport.
 Yesterday afternoon at least five hundred people were gliding over the frozen lake. Students, boys, middle-aged and elderly men and the fairest of all fair women held merry possession of the place. Lively games of polo were to be seen in fiery progress in the many little corners where the throng did not venture in great numbers, and every sort of amusement to height. The Whitney avenue road ran spec- ial excursion cars in addition to the regulars, and made frequent trips in accommodation of the public.
 In the evening the full moon looked down and smiled upon the happy throng and seem-
 
 as it hung in the clear sky and shed its flood of radiance over the snow spotted earth.
 Through the day the ice company were busy with cutting the thick congelation near their houses and drawing the big cakes up the incline to the storehouses. From six to cakes were ready for carrying.
 Skating was very fine in most places where the surface was free from snow.
 Amid the gay scene enjoying the skating in the afternoon were Miss Julie Goodrich of the Misses Orton 6 Nichols school, daughter of John I. Goodrich, Miss Nellie Holcomb, niece of ex-Mayor Holcomb, the Misses Trowbridge, daughters of Prof. Trowbridge, the Misses Whitney, daughters of Professor Whitney, Miss Wilcox of York Square, the finest lady skater on the lake, Miss Jennie Thomas, the gifted soprano.

SPORTING MATTERS.

Are the New Ravens Going tO Surprise
 Us q-Thfs Weeks Record the Best of
 she season-They Defeat the Spring
 fields eOs4-The:R Broken In
 Playing over Time.
 At last the New Haven polo team has broken the record Of the season and won three straight games in one week.
 Last night they defeated the Spring6slds 5 to 4. It is their fourth successive victory.
 But wasn't it excitinga
 The score was a tie at the end of the forty minutes, and then took place the hardest fought overtime battles that have ever been seen in this league. The record was broken in overtime playing, it being g minutes and 21 seconds.
 The defence of the home team turned de- feat into victory. Reed and Phalen's play ing were nothing short of marvellous. But didn't the people cheer when the two teams were struggling for the final goal And they cheered more yet when Hill came nobly to the rescue and made the goal. At one time it looked as if New Haven was surely defeated, but Newcomb made two goals in quick succession on nice passes and tied the score.
 Roberts and McPeck did some fine passing, and were well supported by Riley and Cana van.
 In the first goal Reed did splendid work and finally Connors caged from the side. The second was made by McPeck on 8 rebound from Phelan's skate.
 The third was marked by 8 brilliant play by Hill. Canavan passed to McPeck, but before the ball reached him Hill had stolen up and taken it, making a back-handed drive that put New Haven ahead. Springfield got the fifth as no one was cov- ering Roberts, while Phelan was looking out for McPeck. The sixth was taken by the visitors on neat passing by Roberts and Mo- Peck.
 But five minutes remained to play in and the game was given up for lost. In just exactly two minutes the score was @ tie, Newcomb making both goals on passes by Connors and Hill. For thirteen minutes and ffty-five seconds both sides fought for victory Roberts had the ball and as all the New Ravens were at the upper end of the rink he had sure goal. He drove from the side and Reed made 8 grand stop. Then Csnavan rushed wildly down, but ran against Phelan. Roberts had another sure goal, but Hills strap broke and his hockey travelled across the rink and hit Reberts' stick, stopping the drive.
 Finally Connor, Hill and Neweomb got the ball in front of Riley. Connozs made drive, which Riley stopped. Hill caught the bali on the rebound, prove, and Cameron stopped it; but Hill got it on the rebound and sent 1t past Canavan, Murray and Riley. The score:

St. Thomas' to Have . Surplieed Choir
 Prof. Charles Bonney Engaged as
 Director.
 Prof. Charles Bonney has been invited by St. Thomas church to organize a surplieed choir for that church and to take charge of it as choir master. Prof. Bonney has accept ed the proposition and begins his duties in his new position on the first Monday in May. Boy choirs, as they are called, are becoming very popular among the Episcopal churches all over the United States. They were first established in England, and, we believe, old Trinity of New York was the first to adopt the system in this country. Trinity, Christ and the Ascension churches in New Haven cash have boy choir, and St. Thomas', un- der Prof. Bonney's able management and leadership, will no doubt, prove very suc- cessful. Quite g radical change is contem-- plated in the musical regime at the First M. E. church, involving the breaking up of the present efficient quartette choir; but the pro- gramme for the ensuing year is yet in an inchoste state.
