THE GRAND CIRCUIT OF 1891.

Allen LoVe,s Resume of the Events, The Boston Globe of Monday contained ! a two-column resume of the grand circuit l events of 1891 from that capable critic and careful writer on horse matters, Allen Lowe. The article bristles with statistics of inter | est to horsemen. In his preliminary re- l marks he lays down this general rule, and l there is little doubt of the correctness of | it's application:
 "A great many people hold the opinion
 that the majority of the grand circuit fol-
 lowers come home with big money. As a
 matter of fact it may be stated that nine I out of ten of those entering on the big line come home poorer for it. What, then, is | the incentive? That which has kept trot- l ting alive and makes it stronger every year the breeding interest,""
 In the course of his remarks the writer gives the Happy Bee-Fanny Wilcox, etc.,
 race at Springfield this little cooler: For the first time Springfield led Hart
 ford in giving circuit meeting. The track l was better than ever before, and the racing
 was great. Happy Bee won the 2:2S stake from field that did not try to beat her. This was race that, had it occurred at Cleveland, would have resulted in expul- l sion for several of the participants. The great event of the season and of the circuit was the $1O,00O stake at Hartford, | when Nightingale was the first mare to | win the Charter Oak purse. More heats | were trotted at Hartford than at any place l on the line, and only that Faiday of their 1 week was rainy the meeting would have gone on record as the best of it's history Happy Bee heads the list of individual
 winners, with $9,S00 to her credit, rank ing Little Albert by $100. Of all the horses that appeared on the circuit with
 out mark of 5:30 in 1891, Little Albert
 was undoubtedly the greatest race horse, and had he been sound he would have won
 much more money. The Hamlin-G Geers | combination were the largest winning owners.
 .The S1O,00O stake winners are three in
 number-Temple Bar, Happy Bee and Nightingale. Outside of these Little AL
 bert has won most money. Hal Pointer
 won the greatest number of races, six
 with Little Albert, Happy Bee, Rosalind Wilkes, Frank Dortch, Grants Abdallah
 and N. T. H. being tied with four each. The Hartford meeting furnished the greatest number of heats, and it's average time was 2:20a-all things considered, remarkably good average. The following table shows the time fluctuations at the
 different meetings:

DANBURY, Sept. 16.-This afternoon the mystery concerning the whereabouts of Adolphe Girard, the young natter, who has been missing four weeks, was cleared up. He is working on farm in New York state, hoping to benefit his health. He went away quietly, as he said, so as not to alarm the young lady to whom he was engaged, as she was i'll at the time. Her condition is extremely critical.

Blakeman of New Haven preached and administered the communion in ex- change with Rev. J. A. Macmillan. The season at Woodmont has been more than usually successful, thus proving it's attraction as a seashore resort. The hotels have closed for the season, but many of the cottagers finger to enjoy the delightful fall weather in this pleasant locality. The amount of the fines that have been handed over to the town treasurer by Judge North this season is evidence of the effective work that he has done to bring about reign of order and morality in the town. During the months of May, June, July and August the sum of $S57 has been received by the town treasurer as the re- suit of the fines imposed and collected by Judge North. More than any amount of money, however, do the citizens appreciate the lessening of those evils which have been disgrace for so long. A very pleasant reception was given by Mr. and Mrs. David E. Platt on their re- turn from their wedding trip at their new home on Orange avenue last week Wednes- day. The large number present were pleas antly entertained, the latter part of the evening being devoted to dancing to fine | music of piano and violin, rendered by Messrs. Stormont and Sherman of New Haven.

The opening Active-The Afternoon Prices Cut Down by Bears-A Rise in Reading.


 NEW YORK, September l6. Railroad bonds were specially active and strong to-day, the Reading issues, the Wabash debentures, the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western extensions and the Western New York and Pennsylvania seconds being most conspcu- ous for strength. The dealings reached S3,69S, 800. Unlike stocks the list retained most of it's gain at the close.
 At the stock exchange to day the opening was active, strong and confident, and notwithstand- ing the prussure to sell the morning hours saw a material advance all along the line, but the stacking off of the demand gave the bears the advantage later in the day, and prices all through the afternoon cut down slowly, but steadily, and before the close almost all the early gains were wiped out with something in addition. Ontario and Western sold up to 221s, but reacted to 219s at the close, but Reading to 39 and closed at it's highest figure. Kansas and Texas preferred rose to 2Sss, but settled back to 27s4. The mar ket finally closed active and heavy to weaker at small fractional losses from first prices as rule.

 OBJECT TO NEW HAVEN CONCERNS TRADE
 The United States circuit court in Hart ford has just heard the case of ''The Gel luloid Manufacturing company vs. Samuel H. Read" This case is exceeding impor- tant to the famous and extensive celluloid company. Read, the defendant, is the maker and seller of certain starch which he calls "celluloid" starch, made by the "Celluloid Starch company" of New Ha- ven. The Celluloid company claim trade mark ill the word ''celluloid" and ask for an injunction against it's use by Read. They say the starch has no "celluloid" in it and is misleading and deceptive to the public, and furthermore is injurious to their business at present and threatens to further injure them, as they can make, should they desire, starch containing the real celluloid base, which would meet un- fair competition in this compound. The defense claimed perfect right to use the word "celluloid" as q name for starch, which was not an article made by, nor purporting to be made by the Celluloid company or. of celluloid. The case was argued for complainant by Rowland Cox of New York and for defendant by Attor- ney Newton of New Haven.
