WORLD OF SPORTS

Says the Hartford Times: The Water.
 bury track needs no watering, even at
 the dryest season of the year. There are
 number of natural springs throughout
 the grounds which make the track actu. ally wet at , o'clock in the afternoon. Umpire Lynch was obliged to retire at
 Brooklyn Wednesday, by foul ball which drove one of the wires of his mask
 into his head.
 Ewing said in Cleveland the other day
 "I don't think there ever will be au
 amalgamation of the League and Brother
 hood, unless Glasscock, Clarkson, Nc Kean, and Zimmer are disposed of ir some way. The league has got to gel rid of them before our men will ever agree to a consolidation"
 Burkett's batting and fielding may make him a fixture in New Works out field. This would but repeat the history of Herman. The latter, like Burkett was engaged as a pitcher, amounted to
 little as such, but batted so well as tC make him a valuable man to have or the team in the outfield hence he became the regular outfielder.
 John B. Day states that when he signed Daley he understood that the American association clubs had waived claim to his services, Under the nation al agreement they were entitled to claim
 him, and if any club did so, and after complying with the rules insists upon
 having Daley, Mir Day says that he will cheerfnlly surrender him.

Allowance of an Archduchess.

An excellent example has been set by the Emperor Francis Joseph to other sovereigns by refusing to allow his daughter, the Archduchess Valerie. to accept the wedding presents which municipal councils all over the empire intended to vote for her, and the pro- posed grants are to devoted to charita- ble objects. "I wonder," muses the editor of London Truth, 'if ever we shall hear of member of our own royal family acting in this way" The Arch duchess has a fortune of S4OO, 900 and a state allowance of S4,000 year, while her future husband, the Archduke Francis Salvador, has an allowance of S6, 900 year from his father, the Arch duke Charles Salvador, of Hapsburg Lorraine, and his pay as Captain in the Austrian army; so they will not be a wealthy couple, unless the Emperor gives his daughter an income out of the privy purse"

Charming Gowns for Late Summer.

Printed mousseline delaines are dressy, cooler even than alpaca, and also very much worn. Many women prefer them to foulards, which soon lose their dressing and look limp and worn. The blue and white and green and white foulards have also lost caste, from being greatly reduced in price and becoming quite livery at the various resorts. The delaines are al- most invariably ribbon trimmed, and show some exceedingly delicate and beautiful colorings and designs. The favorite patterns are detached punches of flowers or sprays The very large struggling devices which were popular last year are not much affected this sea- son.-N. Y. Post.

The New State Register.

The work in the secretary of states office relative to the annual state register will be mapped out III few weeks and plans completed for corFying into effect a number of new features. The progress that has been made in the register dur ing the past ten years is noteworthy and in many respects this annual issue of the state department has become indispensa- ble. One of the most important of the
 new features for this years work will precedents and rulings. Many of those precedents and rulings, which have been enforced in the legislature, will be of great interest. During the past twelve years it will be found that only in one instance has the governors veto receiv- ed the course of action contemplated by the constitution, and this was under Speaker Charles H. Pine, of Ansonia.

Tn Disgrace.
 CAMP EMBLER, NIANTIC,
 August 21, 1890.
 To-day is the greatest day of the week here. The weather is propitious and great crowds are fiocking into camp. At noon it was estimated that there were 10000 visitors on the grounds and they still keep coming.
 Governor Davis and staff of Rhode Island, arrived this morning at 10:50. They were met at they depot by Cover nor Bulkeley and staff and escorted to the grounds, where they were given a grand reception. At o'clock the troops were reviewed by Governor Bulkeley and staff and the distinguished guests from Rhode Island. Major Cornell of the Fourth regiment was field officer of the day.
 Last night the members of Go F, First regiment, subjected Captain Wick ham to all sorts of indignities. During the evening ex-Captain Newton made a visit to the company and after he was gone, the members began singing ribald songs ridiculing Captain Wickham. To- day Captain Wickham asked for aid from Colonel Erickson in case the men refuse to obey his commands. Ex-Cap- tain Newton has been forbidden to go near the quarters again. The trouble IS the outcome of the polo muddle last winter.
 Major Godfrey of the Fourth regiment is in charge of the hospital to-day. There are twelve patients, none of the cases being serious, however.
 There will be an elaborate display of fireworks tonight.
 Stray Bullets.
 There is no prouder officer on the camp ground than Captain Wolff. His company is such success in numbers and discipline that he has reason to feel proud.
 Musician Chris Nolan has beautiful fox skin nailed up in front of his quar- ters. He claims to have shot the fox on hunting expedition, but,some of the boys are inclined to the belief that the skin was shot in some Waterbury store.
 The sergeants of Co G were photo graphed in group yesterday.
 Co G's "ki-yi" beats any warwhoop ever heard in camp.
 c. Collard Adams was treated to a shower bath by some of the mischlev- ous members of Co G Wednesday night.
 The Hartford Times last evening said ''It was rumored in camp this morning that owing to the expected general strike on the Vanderbilt roads, one of the Con- necticut regiments will be held in re. serve. No one seems to understand the rumor, and the origin cannot be traced It is quite prevalent to-day, however and everyone seems to have heard it. While it seems to be only a rUmor, most of the militia seem to think there ii something in it. The members of the Second regiment are more interested than the other boys, and seem to think their regiment the one to be held in re serve. The officers profess to be ignor ant of any such move.

THE OUTLOOK IN CONNECTICUT.

THE OUTLOOK IN CONNECTICUT. Representative Wilcox Says Things
 Look Bright For Democrats.
 The prospect of democratic success in Connecticut, said Representative Wilcox yesterday, is bright I think that the chances are in favor of our carrying the state this year for governor, and that there may be gains in the congressional delegation. The workingmen of Con. necticut are becoming educated upon the tariff question and are beginning to understand that instead of being bless ing to them, as the republican leaders would have them believe, it is in reality harm. The prices of the necessities of life are increased without any cores bonding benefit being derived from 1t. They are becoming educated to the dem- ocratic theory as laid down by President Cleveland that the tariff is a tax. Another thing, this agitation of the force bill on the part of the republican leaders, is not without good results for
 us. The business men are by no means anxious for the bill to pass and are in | fact very much opposed to it. A great manufacturing state like Connecticut | necessarily has great trade with the other states of the union. Should the force bill become a law much of the trade of the state with the south would | be lost. Whether or not an open boy
 colt is precipitated it is not unlikely
 that some method of retaliation would be resorted to. The business men appre- ciate this danger and are therefore op- posed to the force bill and are likely to show their dIspleaSure this fall by bolt ing the nominees of their party if they
 are republican. With these two great
 classes on our side together with the
 farmers I cannot see how we can dc
 anything else but carry the state this | fall.

More Lucky Next Time.

The Morris correspondent of the Litch- who owns the place which formerly be- longed to the late Henry R. Ray, in Morris, had four COWS killed in the pas ture in the storm of Sunday night. This is the second visitation Mir Morgan has had this season. The cyclone of July 3l completely ruined five acres of oats for him, and about three acres of corn. It broke over sixty panes of glass out of his house, blew over three or four shade trees, greatly injured his orchard, and leveled nearly all his rail fences. He justly considers himself a phenomenally unlucky man."

PLENTY OF MEAT AT PRESENT

Prices Very Little Effected By the
 Strike. But Dealers Anxious.
 Waterbury meat dealers are watching the situation on the New York Central road with considerable apprehension. Already the lines are being drawn very closely about the New England market, and the immediate outlook is for worse rather than for better. The meat out look is especially bad since the Central has been handling the larger share of the western beef supply which reaches New England.
 ''Never fear, there will be plenty of meat for all of us," said r. McMahon this morning. If beef cannot be brought by one road it can by another. There is plenty of beef on hand to meet the de- mands for several days. Prices will not go up. At this season of the year beef is away down. We can buy to day DO a hundred less than we did a year ago" Another dealer said: As you know the market hereabouts is supplied al. most entirely with Chicago beef, but if the situation grows worse we'll have to start in on our domestic animals. In that case the price of lamb and veal will go up with jump and people will have to wear out their teeth on some pretty tough meat. Cows that have outlived their usefulness, and oxen that are too old to work, furnish a large part of the beef of the domestic butcher and this we will have to put up with if the western supply fails or is curtailed.
 We'll informed persons say that there is not enough beef cattle in Connecticut to supply meat for the state one week. As there are so many ways of getting beef through from the west it does not seem at all necessary for the markets tc be deprived of good stock of meat ob' tained at reasonable prices.

PATRICK MULvANEY's ESTATE
Two Sons Making n Legal Fight For
 Share of the Property.

Two Sons Making n Legal Fight For
 Share of the Property.
 Last January Patrick Mulvaney of Baldwin street died, leaving will which bequeathed the bulk of his estate, amounting to over $10,000, to his daughter, Mrs Katie Reid. His sons, Patrick J. and Thomas A. Mulvaney were bequeathed small sums of money. The sons threatened to contest the will, but Mrs Reid made an agreement with them that after the debts were paid the estate would be equally divided between her and her brothers. Mrs Reid has now taken action to have set aside the written agreement on the grounds that she did not know what she was doing when she signed the papers:
 Mrs Reid is executrix of the estate and some time ago her brothers petitioned the court of probate to have her re- moved. The case is now pending. There is likely to be ashot fight over the dis tribution of the estate.
