 the Selectmen - The Pest House
 Plans.
 Registrar Carr petitioned the seleotmen for better protection for his books at last nights meeting. The law requires these books to be placed In fire proof vaults, and to do this it is necessary that they be distributed in different parts of the building, which causes much inconvenience. MT. Carr stated that he knew where safe suitable for the pur. pose could be obtained for about $1OO. It was referred to the finance committee.
 The following was received from the law firm of Pigott 6 Pardee:

oONNEOTICUT's ICR SUPPLY.

Hut Very Little Harvested Anywhere
 The Consolidasea Roads supply.
 It hes only been within the last few days that any ice has been cut within tho state. The New York, New Haven and Hartford road has not out an ounce of ice this season. The Windsor Locks ice fields, from which the road harvests . large supply as Q general thing, only showed thickness of from to 51< inches yesterday morning, and it is not uow believed that anything can be out there fully 2,000 tons will be used through the year. The company have no reason for alarm, however, on account of the scarcity. It has harvested at Lake Congomond in Southwick, Mass, not less than 1000 tons, the ice being from 1s to IA inches in thick ness. This supply has como over from last year, when the company out large quanti- ties wherever 1t found suitable places for housing. Ice is invariably saleable com. modity and the Consolidated road could easi- ly dispose of the entire surplus on hand, action.
 More ice has been harvested in Litchfeld county than Is generally supposed. A long range of hills that extend from between Bris- tol and Southington away to the west cut off portion of the state on which the water of tho sound has comparatively little effect.
 The ice on the north side of these hills is d. ways thicker than in other portions of the state. and quite as abundant as at Lake Con gomond and other places in southern Aassa- ohusstts. Tho market value of ice is not appreciated in the farming districts and small villages, and only just enough for local consumption is harvested each year. A Waterbury ice dealer discovered the fact few weeks ago, and while his rivals in business were vainly looking for ice in Massachusetts and Maine he got in a fair stock of eight-inch ice from Terryville.
 Many Connecticut dealers have been look ing for ics at Lake Cnamplain. Among them is B. F. Austin of Wallingford, who has gone to the lake with $6,000 to pay for the privilege of harvesting the ice.
 The town of Windsor in Vermont has been . great center for the ice men and at present fifty carloads day are sent out on the way to Holyoks and Springfield. The Hartford ice companiss made . strike when they secured the Williamsvills supply. For . few days after tho purchase, however, the out look was dubious, the warm weather and rains threatening disastrous dissolution of tho contract. For several days after the machinery for cutting was on the ground and the ice houses up the foe was too soft to be worked. The cold snap which set in the middle of last week stiffened up the crop 50 that for four or five days the harvesting has been thoroughly satisfactory.

 The High School Alumni association has evolved plan which will undoubtedly add much to the pleasantries of commencement week at the school. The alumni have given on annual reception during the week of graduation. A new feature of this years reception will be the rendition of several songs by . chorus of about two hundred voices which have been selected from the graduates of the school. The first rehearsal of this large chorus was held last night and proved very satisfactory to the projectors of the idea. The pieces which arc being re- hearsed are: "Littls Jack Homer" e "Arion Waltz" "Damsacus Triumphal March" from "Nasman." Mendelssohn's "Oh for the Wings of Dove" and "Hail, Lovely Venice" from the opera "Lucrstia Borgia." The chorus meets again next Tuesday evening for its second rehearsal.

The BIg Prize Fight Between walker
 and Toomey Which Did Nos Occur
 The Sports arc Mad and 50 are the
 Fighters.
 It would have been pretty hard to have found 8 msdder crowd of sports than those congregated in well known resort on Chapel street last evening. The cause of their ohagrin and disappointment was the knowledge that for the second time the glove fight between Walker and Toomey which was to have taken place last evening. had been postponed. It was considered . sure go until about half past six o'clock when the managers of the affair ''aquealed" and an- nounced that the fight would not come of. The cause of their backing out was an article which appeared in one of last evenings pa pers announcing that the fight would surely come of. When the managers of the affair saw this article there immediately began to float about them visions of iron bars and the patrol wagon, or 8 path to the savings bank, and they took water and funked.
 This last postponement of tho fight will undoubtedly be the end of all further ar engagements for . go, as both the principals are thoroughly sick and tired of the whole business. Toomey expressed himself quite forcibly. "This ends the whole business as far as am concerned" said he, "and
 want it distinctly understood that am through with fighting"
 When Walker was seen by COURIER re- porter he was mad from head to foot and oc' oasionally sent sulphurous streak through the air. "Here have been" said he, "mak. ing every preparation for this fight, stopped work for quite while, and have got bad name and all for nothing. This is my first and last attempt at prize fighting and have washed my hands of the whole busi ness. am no hog and know when have enough. Tomorrow morning I shall start back to work at my trade and try to make up what time lost. will try to forget that ever was SO foolish as to aspire to be com ing champion."
 l The managers of the affair could not hav' had better night than last night for fight but it is just as we'll for all concerned that things turned out as they have, perhaps.

 The twenty-ffth birthday of MT. Edward E. Sanford of 1890 Chapel street was cele- baated last evening in a way quite to his surprise. A little after o'clock he was greeted at the door by paaty of his friends numbering about forty, all in disguise and bringing with them all the necessaries for the entertainment. Many of the costumes were quite elaborate and ono or two were oppo- sitely funny. Music was rendered for the dancing by Paul Russo. It was chiefly through Messrs. Champion, Hoogkirk, Cor coran and others that the surprise was ar, ranged. Among those present were MT. and Mrs. Alfred Todd, Mir. and Mrs. Champion, Mir. and Mrs. Evans.

 Phslan's quiokness saves many goal.
 Leydon's only weak point is in driving for the cage.

 Tom Cotter is driving for the cage in his old time style.
 Wonder how "Mul" Smith likes it to be deposed from his high throne.
 Sword's phenomenal game is slowly but surely dipping away from him.
 "Rsddy" Smith has been playing better lately than he has before for some time.
 Games tomorrow night: Meridsn at Bridgeport and New Britain at Hartford.
 The chances of the Hartford team wins ming the championship arc at present pretty slim.
 Meriden played good polo considering the long time that they only had five men to play.
 Murray is good drive for the cage, but he has to use two hands when he drives back handed.
 New Haven only had four balls come out of the cage in the last game with Springfield; that's all.
 Jim Sealey does not cage many balls, but just the same it is . case of hustle with Jim all through game.
 The local team does not play again until Friday night, when they will have for their opponents the Hartford team.
 It is not at all unlikely that Canavan will be found as 6 rusher next season. He is al- together too fast man to play at half back. The cages in New Britain arc in . very bad condition. In the last game with Bridge. port two balls were driven through the cage.
 New Haven, New Britain and Meridsn are having 1t right and left for last place, but it is hoped that the Scientists" will lead them at the end.
 The cranks in this city would rather have Bridgeport como out ahead than the Spring. fields as they want the championship to stay in this state.
 It is question whether that the tour that the Springfield and Bridgeport teams expect to take at the end of the season will be . paying movement or not.
 The Hartford management will probably put Sullivan on tho surface before the pres- ent week is ended. Sullys last "racket'' will undoubtedly be lesson to him. Bridgeport claims to have the best lighted rink in tho league, but the riuk in this oitv is always spoken of by the visiting teams as being the best in the league in every way.
