AN EXCITING MEETING.

The Hoard Of Public Works Takes a
 Hand at Parliamentary Practice
 Lessons fthe Legislature.
 The board of public works had a lively meeting last evening. It aired its knowledge of parliamentary tactics and proved that the spirit of the present legislature had made an impression upon it. Motions to reconsider and amendments flew thick and fast, furnish ing no inconslderable amount of food for thought for the few spectators present and of confusion for the members themselves.
 The trouble was all over the question what streets should be hardened Senator States was anxious that Howard avenue should be attended to, Commissioner Reilly wanted Greene and Bradley streets hardened, Com- missioner Leigh favored Greene street and Howard avenue, Commissioner Whitney wanted Greene, Bradley and Orange streets provided for, Commissioner Todd would hear to nothing unless Dixwell avenue was hard- ened first, and Commissioner Crawford thought Greene street and Dixwell avenue should receive the attention of the board. The appropriation for hardening streets has been expended so nearly that only two streets could be provided for. No less than three times during the parliamentary melee Mayor Peck was called upon to dissolve tie. When the Mayor dissolved the last tie voting in fla vor of hardening Green street, Howard and Dixwell avenues, in the order named, it seemed that the contest was over, but Major Todd returned to the fight with motion that Dixwell avenue first received the atten- tion of the street authorities. It was finally agreed that the streets be hardened in this order, Green, Dixwell and Howard. It will cost about 5000 to harden these streets, and the appropriation is about $3, 900 short. The board voted to ask the committee on finance for transfer from the bridges &C., count to that for grading streets. The re- planking of the Chapel and Washington street bridges was referred to the committee on bridges with power.
 The contract for putting in the pump in Jocelyn square was awarded to T. W. Cor bett, the Broadway plumber. Mir. Corbett does the work for $530.
 It was voted to build the proposed new main building and wash house at the supply house and raise the barn.

 The occasion was reception given by the entertainment committee of the association to the Kings Daughters, and most success full affair it was. The large parlors of the home were filled with multitude of friends and guests of the Daughters, and everything was as pleasant as the many pretty young ladies who are known as the Kings Daugh- ters could possibly make it. The yard was gaily decorated with Chinese lanterns as were also the parlors.
 The entertainment consisted of series of games which were entered into with much zest by the visitors. Music by a good or chestra aided in passing the evening hours, and before the happy gathering parted the young ladies in white muslin caps and aprons served ice cream and cake and other delica- cies to their friends.

 HANOVER, N. H., June 5.-Williams de- feated Dartmouth day. Up to the last half of the fourth Dartmouth had good lead. The one-two-three order in which Williams retired, Wilson's seeming tendency to be wild and numerous fumbles by his supp port indicated 8 victory for the home team, but at this point Williams improved their work all around, took the lead in the fifth inning and increased it in the sixth, shutting Dartmouth out. Clark's catching was fine and his throwing to second made fatal nearly every attempt to steal. Woodcock and Gault did good work for Dartmouth. The same teams play here to morrow.
