TRoTTING NOTES.

Another Big Purse offered by the Hartford Association - The Juno Meeting.
 The Charter Oak Park Driving associa- tion have recently offered one moro big purse for trotters, which is in addition to the several big purses previously an nounced. The purses that Secretary T. O. King of the association has in hand are as follows: ,...
 The Hartford purse of $10,000 for trot- ting foals of 1889, to be decided at the grand circuit meeting in 1892.
 The Charter Oak guaranteed stake purse of s1O,00O for 2:2O trotters for the circuit meeting during the coming fall.
 The Insurance stake of $4,000 fer 2:20 pacers, to be decided at the same races.
 The Nutmeg purse of $20,000 for trot- ting foals of 1889, to be decided at the cir cult meeting in 1894.
 This big purse will be divided as fol lows: $10. 900 to the winner, $4, ,OOO to sec ond, $3, ,O00 to third, $2,OOO to fourth and $1 ,000 to the breeder of the winner, this last premium to be non-transferable. In the event of accident or injury to any foal entered for the purse tho nomina- tor has the right to substitute another foal l before the first of next January. Another favorable rule of the race is 1 that nominations follow ownership, and the bona fide sale prior to August 1, 1894, will entitle it to start against any other foal entered by the same nominator. Nominations must be made on or before May 25, 1891.
 | The purses and classes for the June l m Inv ha secretary. The purses arc $500 each for the following classes Free-for-all, 2:19, 2:22, 2:24, 2;27, 2:3O, 2:33, 2:36 and 2:40 for trotters and 2:16 and 2:22 classes for pacers The dates for the races are June 23 to 26, 1891.
 For this meeting the secretary announces a new scheme for the payment of entrance money.
 During the last few years there has been considerable discussion of the amount re- | quired for entrance money to the purses Owners and drivers have objected to the payment of 10 per cent. of the purses l claiming that the amount was too much especially for those who did not win any part of the purse With this entrance fes and the usual division of the purse the fourth horse wins his entrance money Many horsemen and some of the turf papers have advocated a per cent. on trance fee, which it was claimed would prevent the many conditional entries tc the 10 per cent. purses. These entries being those that did not pay the entrance money unless they started in the races.
 The new rule adopted for the Charter Oak June meeting will be generally ap proved, as it remedies these objections a only those who win money are required to pay ten per cent. entrance.
 The conditions of the purses are as fol | lows:
 Fifteen dollars in each purse is payable at tn time of subscription which expires May Ii Fifteen dollars is payable on or before Juno
 when the horses must be named. Thirty dollar

 The New Haven correspondent of Sporting Life gives out the following information this week: "The newspaper men of this city are ac- lively engaged in forming a ball team. A meet ing is to be called this week to organize the same and at that time challenge will probably be sent to the New York journalists. We can have first-class team here, as we have several of the best amateur players in the state upon our papers. We will show the New York boys few points if they accept challenge. When newspaper men take hold of anything it goes, it permeates.''
 The Louisville correspondent of Sporting Life in wriling of Doran and Cahil of last years local team says Cahill, who was Dorans catcher in New Haven, and was obtained at the same time, it being the expectation to keep the battery unbroken in the Louisville club, is proving of the successes of the season although he is not doing any work behind the bat. Instead he has been playing at second base and short stop, and his fine work has made him great favorite. He is star batter, hitting the ball hard and often as anybody in the team fielding in fine style and running the bases well. It is to be hoped that so much applause so quickly won will not turn Cahill's head. Doran's second trial in the box showed that he was made of the right sort of stuff. He has excellent curves, fine command of the ball, and since his first game has won every one in which he has pitched.

THE BASE HALL WORLD.

The ChampiO Onshlp Season of 1S91- : Large Attendance At All Eastern
 Association Games-The Improved
 Condition of the Connecticut State
 League-Notes.
 The championship base ball season of 1891 in all the major leagues has opened very auspiciously and in all cities in the country there seems to be happy return of the interest and enthusiasm so con spicuous in former years and which was to large extent dispelled during the season of 1890 in consequence of the break away of the Players league and the consequent wrangles and dissensions be- tween the magnates and players. Large crowds have been present at all the open ing games and most successful season seems to be reasonably assured.
 In the Eastern association the champion ship season of 1891 was opened on Satur- day amid much enthusiasm. Notwith- standing the unusually cool weather, g games, Buffalo leading with 5000 spec tators, Rochester and Providence each drawing 2,50O and Troy 1900. This at tendance argues we'll for the success of the game in this league as with the advent of warmer weather the attendance in all the cities will undoubtedly be very mater ially increased.
 The first game in this city for the cham pionsLip will be played tomorrow, when the club from Troy will be here to do bat tie with the local pets. The Troy club is composed of a strong lot of players and a most excellent game is anticipated. The | local men will put up their strongest game and as Horner and Wilson will | probably be in the points, ought to win | the initial game of the season at home. The Troy team will also play here Thurs l day and Friday. "Count" Campau will cover center field and his fielding and coaching will undoubtedly be attractive features of the games
 1 The Connecticut State league has by l judicious management and the hustllng l abilities of President A. w. Lang and Sec l retary H. R. Durant succeeded in perfect l ing strong circuit and one in which all
 the clubs will play ball until the close of
 the season. Only short time since it
 seemed as though the league would be al
 lowed to go by the board and the Central Connecticut league have the entire field tc
 themselves. Indeed it was said at that
 time by the Central league magnates that the State league would never commence
 business, and that ere many days the clubs
 of that organization would be knocking al
 the doors of the Central for admission
 Now, however, the times have changed
 and the shoe seems to be on the other foot
 Affairs have materially frightened in the
 State league, while the opposite is true o1
