HOMEMADE SNOW.

La Nature, French journal. relates
that gentleman who was walking
rapidly along on the street on a cold,
fair day. and had, By violent exercise,
brought himself into a condition OF
profuse Precipitation, took off his hat
in saluting friend.
As he did so, he was astonished to
feel what was apparently slight fall
of snow upon his head. Upon passing
his hand over his head, he found sever
al unmistakable flakes of snow there.
1t is supposed that the freezing outer
air condensed the moist warm air
within the gentleman's tall hat so sud-
denly that veritable snow storm, OF
miniature proportiona was produced
upon his head.
A similar incident Is related by the
same journal. During the past winter,

party was given in IL salon in Stock

gathered together in single room,

possible to move them.

ly necessary that air should be ad-
mitted, pane of glass was smashed
out. A cold current at once rushed
in; and at the same instant flakes of
snow were seen to fall to the floor in
all parts of the room.

WIN GAMES.

The Local Club Continues Its Vic-
 torfous March Pennant-Ward by
 Defeating Troy for the Second Time
 The Visitors Play Poor Ball.
 The Troys were again defeated at the Howard avenue grounds yesterday after noon in game marked by heavy batting and loose fie1didg. Thevisitors tried three pitchers in the box, but none of them were able to fool the batters of the home team.
 The game was devoid of any special fea-
 ture, and was so one-sided and long drawn
 out that many of the spectators left the
 grounds prior to the close of the
 game. The Troy team is un-
 deniably very weak, especially in the pitchers box and unless materially strengthened in that depart ment will cut but poor figure in the race for championship honors in the East ern association. There are, of course, sev- eral good players on the team, but a great deal of judicious pruning is neces- sary unless the team is content to be a taii-ender all the season. In yesterdays game Day at second and Mooney at third played very "yellow' ball, while the
 entire team lacked that snap and ginger so essential to the national game. The only features of the game was the heavy hitting of both teams, Farrar leading the home team with two triples and single closely followed by Pettee with double and two singles For the visitors Phillips made two doubles and triple, and Day two | three-baggers.
 Clarkson was in the box for the home team and pitched an excellent game. The home team had secured such long lead at | the end of the third inning that Clarkson | eased up considerably in his delivery, and | for that reason he was hit quite hard dur ing the latter part of the game. Decker
 made his first appearance in the game, going behind the bat in the last half of the third inning, relieving Wilson, who started | in to catch.
 Many are the inquiries, both on the
 ball grounds and about the city, as to the whereabouts of the championship pennant of the Atlantic association won last year 1 by the New Haven club. It would seem that it should be swung to the breeze on
 the grounds and the patrons of the game
 are hoping to see it there ere many days. | The same clubs will play again this af
 ternoon, when the battery for the home team will be Gilliland and Hofford. | The score:

A REAL SNAKE STORY

And Right Here in New Haven-A
 FiVe-Foot Black Snake Killed in
 the Rear of Moellerss on Crown
 Street.
 It is rather unusual for g city the size of New Haven to furnish good lively snake story, but she did achieve that dis tinction About 4 o'clock Ernest Miller, a brother of Charlie Miller who keeps the billiard rooms under the Grand Opera house, went out into the courtyard in the rear and saw sight that probably con-
 fused him for moment also. It was 8
 big black snake, which was demurely making for a manure heap near the stable of Moeller, the lager beer dealer.
 Miller shouted and soon Henry Clark, an
 employe of the opera house, appeared on
 the scene and took the situation in at a
 glance. He picked up board and ran |sforathereptile, which by this time was beginning to make time. He jabbed the board down on to the snake about in the
 middle and pluckily held it there, unmind- full of a squirming two-foot and 6 half of snake on each side of the board. A club soon finished the find the length. The snake measured just five feet two inches and was hung up in the old museum room of the opera house. Where the thing came from furnishes con- siderable food for speculation. MT. Nor ton of the opera house and the hostler at the stables have seen hin before with a
 mate even longer. MT. Morton claims the | other snake is at least fourteen feet long
 and thinks they are old residents | of the locality. The hostlers think the | snake was brought into the city in load | of hay from the country, and one other explanation offered may make lovers o1 1 beer think little when they take theil | next glass. It is that the snake out in his country home crawled through the bune
 hole into one of MT. Moeller's empty beel | kegs and thus was transported to the City | of Films only to meet an untimely end.
