The joint committee on the case of the
bridge met yesterday afternoon and on the
petition for closing the draw of Tomlinson
bridge to-day during the Ysle-AtaIanta race,
decided that 1t was not best to issue COM
pulsofy order, 20 that Bridgetsnder Powers
must rely on his judgment to large extent.
It was the opinion of the commissioners that
the drawtender should make 1t as agreeable
for the crews - possible. bat should big
vessel heave In sight he could not refuse to
open the draw; but he would not be justified
in opening the draw for small craft to jeopar-
die the rowing of the crews. While 1t Is
not likely that trouble would be made If the
draw was not operated for season, city and
town clearly have no right to stop vessels
passing the bridge in view of the sovereign
right of the United States over harbors, rivers
and channels. Superintendent Bollmann
will have policemen on the bridge to prevent
accident, whether the draw is opened or not.
After all there may be no need of all the
precautions, for from present weather con-
diticns IL does not seem probable that the
race will bs rowed to-day. . If the weather is
favorable big Fair Haven contingent will
be ON the water in oyster steamers, sharpiss,
row boats and canoes. The Atalantas had
practice spin on the river yesterday, and
those who saw them said they would make a
big race for Yale.
Superintendent Graham of the horse rail-

the easiest, in fact, on the entire road.
