enthusiastic over the national game They
appreciate the work in the outf1eld, long

the scientific points Of curving. Mr. Ward
could not speak at present as to which
club he would join, but expected to be
able to tell within few weeks.

PASSAGES SEWER ENJOINED.

A Temporary Order Granted by Chan
cellor McGill this Morning.
The Corporation Counsel OF Passaic city
appeared before Chancellor McGill this
morning in the Chancery Chambers in
this city and asked for two weeks ex-
tension of the time given his city in which
to answer the bill filed by the Newark
Aqueduct Board. The bill asks for an in
junction restraining Passaic city from
building sewer elnptying into the Pas
sale river.
The Chancellor granted the extension
but at the same time made an order re-
straining the city of Passaic, the contrac-
tor and all other persons concerned from
continuing work on the sewer until the
final hearing of the cause.
This order was made because it was in
timated that the city might increase its
force of men and complete the sewer be-
fore the Chancellor could consider the
matter.
