Measurements and rxceiienGy IN sports
show That They Are Equal.
II Is now pretty well established that the
American horse is "a good as any OF his
kindred in the world, as is proved not only
by the race course but by the wonderful
cavalry marches made during our civil
war marches in winch the sorest part OF
contest came upon the mounts Of the
soltiery Our ordinary field sports have,
except lacrosse, been derived from England,
Even baseball, which appears as a distinct
lively American game, is but a modification
of an English form Of sport, which is real
ly Of great antiquity.
The field sports which we may compare
in England and America are the games Of
ball, in which baseball. because OF our Gus
toms, must take she piece OF cricket and
football, which is identical In the two
countries: rifle shooting, rowing and the
ordinary group OF athletic sports in which
single contestants take part. We may add
to this the amusement OF sailing. wherein,
however, the quality OF the structure as
well as the nerve and sizill in management
play an important part.
II is now clear, however, that in them all
the American is not bit behind his trans
atlantic cousins. The most of the people
have the same spontaneous interest IN
sports as their forefathers. and they pursue
them with equal success. Ii is unnecessary
to do so, bat we might fairly rest the con
clusion as to the undecsyed physical vigor
Of our population on that spontaneous ac-
tivity OF mind without hieh games are
impossible. Among it's many beneflcent
deeds the United States sanitary commis-
sion did a remarkable service 70 anthro-
poloSy by measuring, ia as careful man
ner rs the condition Of our knowledge at
the time permitted, about 2So,0o0 soldiers
of the Federal army
The records Of these measurements are
contained in the admirable work Of DR.. B.
A. Gould, distinguished astronomer, who
collated the observations and presented
them in n great volume. Similar measure
ments exist which present Us with the ply
seal status of something ike an equally
large number Of European soldiers. par
ticularly those of the British army. From
Dr. Gould's careful discussion Of these sta
tistics il appears that the American man
is on the whole quite A. well developed ~
those who fill the ranks Of EuroDoon arInies.

Efforts to Place a Connecticut Court
Under Restraint.
The matter of the New York & New
England Railroad company against
George NJ. Woodruff and others, came
up before Judge Blatchford in the
United States district court in Brooklyn
yesterday. The hearing was on mo-
ton for temporary injunction to re-
strain the superior court of Connecticut
from proceeding further in the action
for contempt against the directors of the
company for refusing to take up their
tracks on Church street, Hartford. Several
affidavits were submitted. Judge Henry,
representing the state of Connecticut,
read an affidavit of Mayor Dwight of
Hartford and also one of John J. Root,
ex-mayor, both of whom knew the
tracks to be dangerous. Joseph H.
Spray of the state commission knew
that the tracks were dangerous to per-
sons crossing them. David L. Gains of
the police force made a similar affidavit
in the case. Albert w. Spalding, sher-
if of Hartford, in his affidavit set forth
that he duly served the writ Of manda-
mus on the railroad directors. Pro-
fessor S. E. Baldwin of Yale college, APP
peared in behalf of the railroad COM
pany. Judge Blatchford denied the in
junction.

ance department J. D. Cunningham Of
New Haven, state secretary, and State
Delegate Murphy of Norwich, in suit
for $1,000 brought by the widow of the
late Thomas d. Healey of this city.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Healey
was expelled from the First division, A.
Q. H., Of this city, for non-payment Of
dues. He brought suit claiming that he
did not receive official notification of his
arrears, and IN the district court the
case was decided in favor of the plant
if. An appeal was taken.
Mr. Healey was also a member of the
insurance department of the order and
the endowment has not been paid to his
heirs on tho ground that he had forfeit
ed membership in the order owing to
non-payment of dues. Hence the suit.
The writ is returnable before the Wa
terbury district court on the second
Tuesday in June.

ATTEMPTED SMUGGLING.

A Novel Way of ConcealinE Jewelry
In Letter.
A week ago the postoffice officials
a New York received letter from Italy
which contained a hard light substance,
and suspicious that it was smuggling
operation were aroused. The letter was
addressed as follows:
Arcangelo Riccinto,
Waterbury, Conn,
Simon street,
America.
The New York authorities summoned
Mr. Riccinto of Waterbury and ordered
him to open the letter in their presence.
The letter was found to contain q large
piece of wood, whitfield down to fit the
envelope and appear like a letter. In
the center of the wood and at the thick
est point some valuable jewelry was
concealed and covered over with thin
piece of tin which was tackled to the
wood. Mr. Riccinto was allowed to take
the Jewelry on payment of the required
duty at the custom house. The col
lectors declare that this device is as new
as it is shovel.

ROADS, SIDEWALKS, SEWERS.

The Exchange Place Paving Contract
Not Awarded.
The monthly meeting of the sewer
board was held last evening. A hearing
onlthe matter of laying sewers on Aver
and North Leonard streets was Civ
en-. Three property owners were in
favor, eight against and seven absent.
On North Leonard street six were
in favor and the same number
against the sewer. Four were absent.
1t was recommended to the council that
a sewer be laid on North Leonard street
and the Aver street matter be deferred
to some other time.
Before the road board the bill Of $50
was presented by James Sutton for the
balance of his street sweeping contract
for February and March was ordered
paid. A bill of $500 was received for
work repairing Brook street after the
Thanksgiving freshet.
Sidewalks were ordered for Aver
street from Baldwin to McGill street

were ordered to place their side walks
in proper condition.
H. w. French was appointed a COM
mittee to report to the board on the con-
dition of the sidewalks of the city.
A petition which had been circulated
by Alderman Dillon was presented. The
petition is signed by several of the lead
ing East Main street property owners,
who represent that public necessity re.
quires that the street shall be paved
from Exchange place to School street
The petitioners ask the board to recon-
mend to the council that the work be
done. They also represent that upon
completion of the pavement they will
pay to the city any reasonable assess
ment.
A discussion on the merits of asphalt
pavement and Belgian block was brought
out. Commissioner Chapman thought
it mistake to pave Exchange place with
asphalt and moved that it be recon-
mepded to the council that Belgian
blocks be laid. The motion was moi
seconded. Mayor Baldwin said that the
property owners on Exchange place ia
vored asphalt and agreed to pay for it az
soon as put down. Messrs Stevens anG
Coughlin we're appointed committee
to:look into the matter and the contrac1
was not awarded. The East Main street
petition was referred to the council fol
