MRS. YEAmANS, WILL
contest In the Superior Court o
 the Construction Judge Audr,

Contest In the Superior Court over
 the Construction Judge Andrews
 Reserves His DecisIon.
 The will of the late Mary Yeamans came before Judge Andrews in the civil side of the Superior court yesterday for construc- tion. Mrs. Yeamans died possessed of about $15,Oo0 worth of property. There was doubt as to the disposition the testatrix in- tended to make of the property, and the ex- ecutor brought an action to have the will construed. The draft of the will was made by the Rev. Dr. Beardsley at her urgent re- quest, but Mrs. Yeamans instead of taking it to lawyer to have it put in proper legal form as was suggested, had the draft execu- ted. The result was when the will was of- fered for probate, it was susceptible of sev- eral constructions. Dr. BeardsIey was on the witness stand yesterday and testified to the circumstances under which the draft was made. The will under construction gives the property to Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Peck ham, under another construction the proper ty vests in the heirs at law, after a life estate in MT. Peckham and his wife, and under third construction the title settles in Peck hams children. The case was argued at length. Ex-Judge York appeared in behalf of the executor, and Lawyer George P. h. Rersoll, of Pigott, Pardee & Ingersoll, for heirs at law. Judge Andrews reserved his decision.

SPORTING MATTERS.

A Close Game at BridgePort-TheN New Ravens Pass All Around Their Oppo- nents Hut Lose by One Goal-McKa ay and George Smith Have a Free Fight Game To-N1ght at the Rink. By all rights the game at Bridgeport last night belonged to the New Ravens, notwith- standing the biased Associated Press dispatch saying that Bridgeport easily defeated New Haven"
 The score was 6 to in favor of Bridge port, the winning goal being made a minute before time was up. The New Ravens passed all around their opponents, but the latter's rough tactics and holding saved the game. Several times Swords or Connors had clear drive for goal, but Conway, 80 distinguished for dirty play ing. held them.
 Swords again distinguished himself, and Reed and Williams did some great goal tend- ing.
 The Bridgeports took the lead and got five goals. but the New Ravens crawled up even with them. Finally Pierce made pretty run. He fooled Hill by making him believe he was going to pass the ball, and then drove for goal. The ball went between Phelan's feet, and Reed did not see it coming in time to stop it.
 It was 8 close call for the Bridgeports
 Hill made his customary successful long distance drive from center, making a goal. Sword made three goals, Connors one and Hill one

 The petition for an ordinance to have hack drivers placed behind rail instead of an imaginary line at the Union depot was not favored by the committee, ss it was thought that the city had no authority to meddle with other peoples property in this way. petitioners did not appear. It was recom- mended that the court of common council appoint committee to confer with the Con- solidated railroad officials with the object of making some more satisfactory arrangement for hack drivers than now exist. The peti- tloners were given leave to withdraw.

 The third battalion drill of the season at the armory last evening was commanded by Colonel N. J. Leavenworth, Major F. T. Lee, Adjutant T. T. Welles, and all of the captains were present. The guard mount under Ad- jutant Welles, which was held before the drill WAS we'll executed. The drill of the battalion was unusually interesting on &C., and by battalion,
 As is usually the case at the drill of the city companies a large number of spectators were present in the galleries and in the vicin- ity of the company rooms. There were more spectators than seats, consequently many ladies were obliged to stand during the eve- ming. The officers of the regiment will not be satisfied until comfortable seats are pro- vided in the galleries.
 One or more propositions regarding the excursion which the Second regiment will probably take next spring will be submitted have suggested that the regiment hold fair for the purpose of making money to defray the expenses of the proposed trip. The athletic entertainment to be held at the armory on March 15 and 16, may prove financially profitable to the regiment, but if the entertainment does not furnish enough funds, fair will probably be held as sug- gested.
 The principal topic of interest to the mem bers of the Blues just now, is the reception; which the company will hold at the armory on Friday evening of this week. A large number of tickets have been sold which is guarantee of success. The Second Regiment band under the leadership of J. P. Stack will give 8 fine concert before the dancing.
 The Charity ball at the Hyperion this evening, which is the annual ball of the Grays, is the event of especial interest to Captain Brown and the members of his com mand.

The Decorators Will Take Possession n
 To-Day The Brilliant Audience
 Rules for Carriages.
 Arrangements for the great charity ball have been nearly all completed and to-day the busy hands of decorators will turn the Hyperion into one of the most beautiful ball rooms that the city has seen during the sea- son. The magnificent scale upon which ev- erything has been conducted this year is equal in every respect to that of previous seasons, and the several committees express themselves confident of grand success.
 All carriages for the ball tonight ap- preaching the Hyperion must come up Chapel from College street, and all depart ing must leave the Hyperion and turn up Chapel street westward to High. This rule will be enforced as it will save much trouble, and possibly accidents.
 A great many of the seats have been al- ready sold and all indications point to a large and brilliant audience apart from the throng that will indulge in the dance. There was great demand for the reserved seats yesterday at Peoks bookstore, but many good ones can yet be obtained.
