 nan's Six Days Race.
 The six days race, twelve hours day, which opened at the rink this noon under the management of J. l.. Keenan, started off with every prospect of suc- cess. Twelve of the best runners in the country are competing for the $725 in prize money, which is to be divided among the winners, and before the week is over some good racing will re- sult At 1 o'clock five of the twelve had made nine miles or over, Guerrero, Herty, Spicer. Malone and Curley, and the rest were only few laps in the rear. A rivalry has already sprung up between Herty, Spicer and Guerrero for first place, and the three are making the pace a fast one. Guerrero became some what excited after the first hour and offered to bet $150 to $1OO that he would beat Spicer out. Neither Herty nor Spicer say a word, but plod along at a steady gait which if continued will land them in place. Malone and Horan are again in the race and are fighting hard for position. Malone is up with the leaders and seems confident. Nor emac, Curley, Fox, OBrien, Davey and Hanley are all in good trim and are working for piece of the purse. Smith, the cowboy, is in better trim than when here before and says he will win portion of the poodle. Take it all in all the race promises to be an in- teresting one and some good records will be made. The score at o'clock was:

 NE" HAVEN. Conn.,, Oct 1.-The voters Of ConuCc tiCut arc called upon to. day to decide whether tho State Const;- tuition shall be amended so that the manufacture and sale of intoXfca ting liquors shall be prohibited. There is no doubt about the answer. 1t is only a question of majority. The anti-Prohi- bitionists claim that the proposition will be defeated by a vote of three to one. Sanguine Prohi- bitioIists expect to be beaten two to one. The leaders of the movement in this city make that forecast. Besides voting on the prohibitory amendment the towns in the State will chose their municipal officers. TAo exceptions are New Haven and Bridgeport, in which places the election will be, confined to the rrohibitory amendment The town elect ions will col 'luently serve to bring ,u; sl good izcd vote.

THE SECRET BALLOT A FAILU RE.

The Envelope System Responsible
 for Light Vote-Leading Demo-
 crats Sanguinc of the Success of
 Their Ticket.
 So far as Waterbury is concerned the The first election under the envelope booth system is being held to-day and the vote will in all probability be the lightest boiled in years. Both parties are sufferers by the new system and the benefits derived from it are not quite clear. Very true each voter must retire into the privacy of a closet to arrange his ballots, but there are so many loop holes for fraud that the object of the law is defeated. The average voter doesn't care continental who sees his ballot, and those who are afraid of in- | timidation as we'll as those whose votes are for sale can be watched almost as closely as ever.
 There was considerable excitement in | the first ward this morning when it was discovered that the envelopes containing the first forty ballots cast bore the sigma ture of only one of the officials in charge of the booth. Under the provisions of the law the votes cast under such condl- tions must be thrown out. The statute reads as follows:
 ''No official envelope shall be delivered l to any elector until said envelope shall be endorsed by both the persons in charge of the envelope booth by marking l thereon their respective names or initials. No envelope not so endorsed shall be received by the boxtenders, and any envelope not so endorsed found ill the box shall be thrown out and the bal lot contained therein shall not be counted.''
 The voting was light up to noon, but the democratic leaders were sanguine of success. The best part of the republican vote is always in by noon they say, while.the democratic rush begins at 12 o'clock.
 Scratching is said 10 be going on on both sides to a considerable extent. Harry Moses, the republican candidate for city sheriff, is using his pastors to good advantage and will probably give J. w. McDonald the closest race he has ever run. The feeling in certain quar- ters against School Clerk Neagle has been carried to the polls and he too is being pasted, On the other side many republicans are using Meagle pastors and his election is almost certainty.
 Many good old republicans have fe= pudiated the action of the leaders in nominating democrats for the best posi- tions on the republican ticket by ab- senting themselves from the polls. Two sets of republican ward tickets, one headed "Republican' and the other 'Citizens,' and both containing the same names, ,are in circulation. No great interest in the prohibitory | amendment is manifested. The pro- hibitionists acknowledge defeat and are only wondering how large majority | will be given against them,
 The envelope system has played hobs with the slip-writers and the private checkers are unable to give an estimate of the number of votes cast by each party. The DEMOCRATS estimate, which is a conservative one and not far from correct is as follows:

POwe Is In New York.

In regard to missing William Powe, the Ansonia correspondent of the New Haven Register says: The fact is MT Powe is in New York city, and to use the words of a prominent resident he lis not likely to return soon.'' MT Powe rose in the Copper company's office from desk boy to bookkeeper, and finally at the death of Mir Cowles became treas urer. His salary was fixed at S5,O00 a year. He had no stock in the concern, A year ago last May in connection with the Bartholomew family he thought that he would help in the organization of the Aluminium Bronze company in Bridgeport in direct opposition to his employers. The very moment it was heard of the company cashiered him without even days notice. This act of course induced Mir Powe to bull the market in Aluminium bronze against copper and brass, but it did not work, although he got salary of $6,000 from the Bridgeport company.

 Miss Hattie Harvey and MT. E. D. Lyons, who are going to star together, have de- cided to open their Chicago season at Hay lin's November 10. The play is IA Little Tramp" by MT. w. G. Wills, of London, who originally wrote it for Mrs. Langtry, to whom it was not suited. 1t is little comedy of laughter and tears that is charm ing in perusat, ard will no doubt be as en- tertaining in action. MT. E. D. Lyons was in the original London cast. With him were such actor as Charles Coghlan and Beerbohm Tree. He and Miss Harvey deserve encouragement for not inflig%ing on the public another farce.
