HOWE a STETSON,
LANDMARK.
A Horse Recently Purchased by s.
HI. Cruttenden.

A Horse Recently Purchased by s.
HI. Cruttenden.
Mr.. Samuel H. Cruttenden has recently
purchased of Mr.. R. N. Fitzgerald of Hart
ford, the promising rrotter Landmark, u
black gelding, eight years old, whose ex-
cellent pedigree is as follows: Landmark
was sired by Harry vane, he by Smuggler
2:154. The dam Of Mr.. Cruttenden's re-
cent purchase, was the celebrated Jessie
Vale, black mare that was game trot-
ter both single and double. AS pole
horse she was very reliable and fast,
specially when hitched with the trotter
Honest Allen. She was equally fast with
another mate called Darkness. When
Jessie Wales was in her prime on the turf
she obtained record of $50, which
was considered very fast at the time as
there were then not so many faster horses
in existence as now.
Landmark, who was bred by Colonel
Russell of Boston, owner of Smuggler, has
had limited track experience. He has been
entered in races at Norwich, Willimantic
and Stratford, and on several occasions he
has led fields of trotters at the wire. in
consequence of which he has won consid-
cradle money. At Norwich where he has
trotted in several races he was forced to
win heat in 1886, which is his present
record. Recently he has been used as a
road horse by Mr.. Fitzgerald, who short
time ago at a racing matinee at the trot-
ting course on Albany avenue, Hartford,
drove him to a top carriage mile in 2:8444.
The amount paid for the trotter is private,
but it was considerable and was what
horsemen term "a long price,
2:23a, il to start to-day in The sfree-for-all
race at Bristol and is also entered In the
races next week st Danbasy.

YALE DEFEATS WESLEYAN.


Bct IL was Close victoty-BIass ,04
Seriously Injured and may Not Play
Again This season.
Yale played her first game of foot ball of
the season yesterday afternoon with Wes-
leyan and if it may be taken as any indica-
ton for the future the outlook is not very
encouraging. Yale won, but it was the
kind Of victory that in time leads to de-
feat, for one Of her most promising play
ers, Bliss "a, was seriously injured, and
probably will be seen on the field
again this season. ss He collided while at
tempting tackle and was thrown violent
". striking on the back Of his head and
neck. For some time he lay unconscious
and then went into convu1sions. He was
taken to the city in a carriage and q physi-
his brother, Bliss '93. The score at the
end Of the game stood 8 to 0, but no points
were made until the last few minutes of
the game when two touch downs were
made by McCluney. The game was of the
simplest character, straight playing, with
no attempts made on either side at any
fancy moves. Wesleyan put up.a much
stronger game than had been expected
though none believed that there would be
one Of the old time one sided scores. The
attendance was about 800 and q number OF
carriages were lined about the field.

PURCHASED YESTERDAY.

The Consolidated Road Acquires AM
other Big Piece of Property-The
New Ground VIII Probably be Used
as a Freight Yard.
The Consolidated Railroad company
completed the purchase yesterday of the
valuable property of the Kiefer Furniture
Manufacturing company in Bridgeport,
the price paid for it being 500, 900. By
the acquisition of this property to its
already large possessions the railroad COM
pany will gain desirable strip of land.
The railroad now owns all the property
fronting on the water from the Naugatuck
wharf to Seaside park, with the exception
of a small tract having frontage of sixty
feet, which belongs to Minot Munson. The
estate just purchased comprises about four
acres and extends from Kiefer street to
the line Of Whiting street and from Singer
avenue to the channel.
Mr.. Kiefer will retain possession until
July 1, 1892, and it is probable that new
factory will be erected by the company in
the meantime. The transfer was not made
until noon yesterday. It is understood
that the company can obtain the Munson
property for about $12, 600.
The new acquisition will probably be
used for freight yards, the present yards
in Bridgeport being much too limited for
the increasing business Of the railroad
company.

their report at the annual meeting of the
society tomorrow evening.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-05-02

Hearst the party had a representative
who had not been understood. 1t had
been said by some, when he first went
there, that he was a backwoodsman but
later developments had shown that he
was an active and powerful worker. Mr..
Lynch thought Senator Hearst would also
recognize the propriety of sending
young blood to Washington, and Hon. S.
M. White had that blood. Ii he we're
sent there he would bring to memory
the old-time California representatives
OF late it had become the custom to
select rich men, but the time had come
at last when the sentiment Of the
people was that they should be repre-
sented, and in Mr.. White the party
would have representative who would
appeal to the working classes of the
United States. The speaker closed by
saying that he had no doubt but with
Mr.. White in the lead the Democratic
ticket would be invincible in the city,
county and State.
The resolutions were adopted by an
unanimous rising vote.
A motion by Major Burke that COM
mittee OF three be appointed to form
rules f0r the organization of clubs
throughout the county was carried, and
it was decided to add the chairman and
secretary to the committee.
Several other matters relating to the
conduct of the campaign were discussed
and the meeting adjourned.
Hon. S. M. White stated last night to
HERALD reporter that he would not
make reply to the county central COM
mittee until he had thoroughly consid-
cred the matter.
