SPORTING MATTERS.

The Rink crowded Last Nixht-The
New Brisains Defeated.
The game at the rink last night was an
exciting one. Everybody seemed to have
turned out to see the "woodchoppers," as
the New Britains are called.
New Ravens 5, New Britains 1.
Thas was the result Of the game. Each
team lost goal by fouls. The game was
not so scientific as some, but it is quite evil
dent that the visitors have the knack of play
ing with more science than they had hereto
fore. x
There seemed to be an unnecessary amount
of yelling at Referee Kelly, because he did
not call foul every time that New Haven
player fell. In one instance Newcomb trip
ped over Parsons foot, but everyone who
knows Parsons knows he did not do it inten-
tionally. Every player likes Kelly's referee
ing. Captain Hill said last night: 'We
never get anything at homo from Kelly, and
never expect it, as he lives here; but away
from home We get fair and square deal"
The first goal was made by Hill. He went
past the whole New Britain team, and
on baakhanded drive at short range Gagged
the ball. The second goal was made on a
pass from Hill to Newcomb. The third was
prettily made. Hill made one of his famous
backhanded drives for the side. Smith
stopped the ball, and Hill followed it up
with another backhanded drive in front of
the cage. New Britain made the fourth on
a side shot by Cornell. In the sixth Hill
passed Mckay and then Gagged the ball. The
seventh was made on pretty drive from the
side by Hill. Reed was very much sur
prised in the eighth when Parsons Gagged the
ball.
Parsons did we'll for New Britain, and
Howard Smith was kept busy. Some Of his
stops were lucky indeed. Hills great back
handed drives were feature. Cooke blocked
finely, but he fails to pass as he should.
Pheland showed up in splendid form. And
Reed! Well, he's all right every time. The
score:

Two Boats Collide in Dense Fog-No
one Lost-Several Collisions occur.
NEW YORK, Dec 20-The dense fog to-
day greatly impeded navigation in the rivers
and harbor and several collisions between
ferry boats and other craft occurred, but
without loss of life or very great damage to
property. Most of the East river ferryboats
stopped running late in the day. This caused
a jam of passengers on the Brooklyn bridge,
and the crowd was 80 great and impatient
that many fears of panic and disaster were
entertained. To add to the exasperating de-
lay, q complete block occurred about
six O'Clock, caused by a collision be-
tween two trains at the Brooklyn
terminus. A trainman had his leg
fractured, but none OF the passengers
was Injured. The fog caused the collision.
While traffic was blocked by this accident
the crowd at the New York terminus grew
until 1t extended across Centre street ap-
proach and filled the sidewalks for block
in all directions Foot passengers and trav-
elers on the Elevated road using the city
hall station had to fight their way through
the crowd and the discomfort and danger
were serious. There was alsoa blockade of
trucks and other vehicles at the bridge,
caused by the suspension of the ferries. This
in turn choked up Centre street and Park
Row go that all the east side lines of street
cars were blocked. The fog also caused
irregularity in the running of elevated rail-
road trains, and this occasioned such a
crowding of the City Hall station platform
that serious results were with difficulty
avoided. During the fog New York Cen
trail freight transfer boat collided off Grand
street in the East river, with the Harlem
line steamer Morrisania. The latter had a
big hole stove in her side above the main
deck. There were several hundred passen-
gers aboard the Morrisania, and they became
panicky Many jumped aboard the transfer
boat. The Morrisania was quickly run up to
q dock at Williamsburg, and her passengers
were landed in great excitement.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness.--Hay Fever.

q
Sufferers are not generally aware shat
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites in
the lining membrane of the nose and eu-
stachian tubes. Microscopic research, how
ever, has proved this to be fact, and the
result of this discovery is that q simple
remedy has been formulated whereby ca
tarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are
permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-Thig treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by reps
utable physicians as injurious. A pamphlet
explaining this new treatment is sent free on
receipt Of stamp to pay postage, by A. q.

Base Ball.

Base ball.
There is some interesting reading matter
as to how Keefe and Becannon's ball was
adopted by the Players league.
President John B. Day of the New York
club has had some trouble with detectives of
late, who have been watching his Office, prob
ably for the purpose of occurring evidence
against players who may visit his place of
business with view to signing contracts.
Mr.. Days partners had two of the men ar
rested yesterday.
During the recent Players league meeting
in New York it was currently reported that
Clarkson signed to play with the Boston
league team for next season as far back as
last October or the first of November, and
that Cancels contract with the Rostons is
only for one year. Yesterday Treasurer
Billings OF the Boston club, who negotiated
with Clarkson, was asked as to the truth of
these reports, and he said that Clarkson's
contract with the Boston club for the season
of 1890 was signed Dec. 10, 1889, and not
of Clarkson, CAMEL and Smith were for
three years eaoh.-Boeton Herald.
Catcher Riddle has signed with the Wash
ington club.
The Chicago Players league club is said to
have signed O'Neil of the st. Louis Browns.
The Worcester club has signed it's old
pitcher, James Stafford, and accepted terms
| from his brother, John Stafford, who pitched
| for the Olneyville Cadets last year.
Guy Hecker has signed a contract &c
| pitch for the Pittsburg National league club
| next season. He received $500 advance
| money.

P1TTsBuRa, Dec. 26.-The Times tonight
receives reports from its correspondents in
twenty five counties of Eastern Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania, on the effect of the
unreasonable weather. In several localities
grass is growing as in spring, buds are
bursting on trees, and winter wheat is 30 far
advanced that farmers fear its ruin If cold
snap comes. Fruit will undoubtedly be
greatly damaged. In Fayette county butter
flies are flying around; in Columbia county.
O., pear trees are In blossom. The open
winter has had disastrous effect upon the
general health. Typhoid fever is on the in
crease in the Ohio valley, and a scourge of
pulmonary diseases is sweeping Blair county,
Penn. Business depression is reported from
everywhere, and two business failures In
Stark county are due to the unreasonable
weather.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-"A statement of all
that transpired in the jury room will be pre-
pared in day or two," said Juror Bontecou,
this morning, "and then the public will
know just what occurred"
"Will the statement be signed by the
twelve jurorss"
"By eleven, not twelve. One of the jury
men, won't say who is now engaged in
getting expressions from the rest Of the
jurors regarding statement to the public.
Five, including myself, have already agreed
to the proposition and know from my ac-
quaintance with the rest that they will be
pleased to give the public the full facts"
en- tell you one thing, and that is I am
thoroughly disgusted with the jury system of
this State. I hope this case will stir mp such
a commotion and talk that it will all end in
polling unanimity of opinion on a case is
simply rot"
Mr.. Bontecou gave some interesting remi-
niscences of the nearly three months of jury
service.
''The bailiffs kept pretty close to US all the
time" he said, "but occasionally things hap
pened that should not have. For instance,
was allowed to 60 home and see my wife
| several times. On one of these occasions a
prominent mana very prominent man
| managed to get close enough to me to say,
| without the bailiff hearing it: Now,
do your duty, and hang every
one of 'em.' On another occasion another
friend Of one of the jurors, who got close
enough, said to him: IF you do not hang 'em
all we'll give it to you.' This we ought
not to have heard, but 1t did not influence
us one way or the other, but it gave Us ar
idea of the feeling outside. But il is al

NO rtaings OF Oldre,ve.

BosroN, Dec. a0.-Prof. Oldrsive started
from Battery wharf at 1880 this afternoon to
walk on the water to Boston light on wager
of 500. A large crowd saw him off and at
dark he had proceeded as far as Governors
Island, when the wind and tide were against
him. He expected to reach the light by 7:S0
or p. M, where he was to be met by tug
and brought back to the city. Since he was
sighted off Governors Island no report has
been received as to his progress, and the tug
which was to have brought him
up the harbor reports being unable
to find him. The professors clothes are still
locked up on Battery wharf His family in
Chelsea have no tidipgs from him and his
whereabouts are at this hour unknown. It Is
possible that, finding the wind and water too
rough, he changed his plans and made a
landing at some one Of the islands in the
harbor, or was picked up by passing vessel
and that he will show up all right in the
morning. A report was current Tonight
that one of the professors shoes had been
picked up in the harbor. but it is not con-
