Meeting of Base BALL Enthusiasts
Held Last Night.

Held Last Night.
The base ball question was thoroughly
discussed last night at the meeting held
in the police court room. About twenty
enthusiasts responded to the call, and
the meeting was addressed by President
Lang of the Hartford association. He
spoke of the strong rivalry between
Hartford and Waterbury in 1886 and de-
clared that the proposed league would
be a success. 1t was decided to send a
delegate to the meeting in New Haven
this afternoon.
Speaking of the proposed base ball
league the Meriden journal says: 1t is
pretty certain that Merfden will not go in
on Reddy's latest scheme as outlined in a
letter sent to Waterbury, where he pro-
poses six club league, with a salary
limit of 81 900 per month, each club
to give guarantee of 5000 to play the
season out. Each club is to play two or
three games home and the same abroad
and guarantee of $40 or a privilege of
half the gate receipts to the visiting club
in all games. Each club to pay a
monthly due of SIS which sum will be
used to pay salaries of secretary of the
league and umpires. This sum to be
paid the first of each month beginning
in May and ending i'll September with
an annual due of $25 Immediately after
the organization of the league. which
will be used to pay for contracts, pro-
lection, etc. The ball season to open
May 1, and close October 1.
In his circuit Mr. Reddy proposes DAN
bury, Meriden and New Britain. Dam
bury is out of it anyway and it is pretty
certain New Britain will want none of
the plan, so there are three towns that
cannot be counted on. This plan is the
same that has been tried in all the towns
mentioned to the sorrow of all con
cerned. 1t cannot sucneed. If Bridge
port, Hartford and Waterbury want the
old experience again they can have it
Meriden doesn't.
The only plan that a state league can
live on in Connecticut is that of the two
games week, one ut home and one
abroad, an equal division of receipts and
pooling of proceeds of holiday games.
No high priced secretary is needed mol
no dues of $75 per month, from each
club to pay umpires. 1t looks as if the
projectors of this plan were feathering a
nice little nest for the summer for some
one.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUs.
An Order in Relation to stIpso Facto
SuSpenSion.


The action of one of the New Haven
councils of the knights of Columbus, in
receiving the dues of a suspended mem
Der, while the latter was on his death
bed, which has caused so much trouble,
owing to the refusal of the order to pay

order from the board of government to
the effect that henceforth, under PEN
atty of expulsion or suspension, secre-
taries must refrain and desist from trans

date of its mailing, or who is in arrears
to his council for more than four
months dues. Secretaries are further
directed not to receive or accept in any
manner whatever, any money from, or
on account of any such person until
legal reinstatement.
The quarterly meeting of the directors

was not SO much in that direction ana it
was not considered 80 much of qualiiiea-

least at the look of surprise that crosses
your face. But really, John, your wife
asked me to bring up the subject to YOU as
your Bessie is getting to be the right age
for piano, as well; and she was of the
opinion that if we should decide to both
buy at once that Shoninger would give us
discount. l understand they are very
reasonable with honest people who desire
piano, and being honest themselves
that firm would be the best to patronize
What do you think?
Why, Peter, have been thinking fol-
some time on the same subject, and
stepped into the store this morning and

names comprising recent purchasers. He

THE NEW STATE MAP.
A Work of Much Importance Now in
Course of Preparation.

course Oh preparation.
The new map of the state now in
course of preparation, is very import
ant work. 1t will accurately determine
the size of the state, which has never
yet been known, Notwithstanding Con-
necticut is the Oldest commonwealth in
existence, having a written constitution.
1t is to represent state, county and town
boundaries and what is of far greater
practical importance to mark the course
of streams, to determine the water shed
or drainage area of streams, ponds and
reservoirs of different kinds, to indicate
elevations and depressions, together
with the character of slopes, whether
abrupt or gradual; and thus make it
possible to determine the probable accu-
mutation of water, both in ordinary and
extraordinary seasons, for on these con
ditions depend the strength of dams and
similar structures necessary to with
stand the pressure that may come upon
them.

ADJUSTMENTS.
eThe Great Metropolis. =,

The production of "The Great Metro
polls, which occurs at the opera house
this and tomorrow evenings, viii be a
most elaborate affair. The great storm
at sea and shipwreck scene is perfect
reproduction, as near as the confines of
a stage will permit, and the methods
employed by the United States life
savers in rescuing human beings are
wildly shown. Interest in the engage
ment here will be materially intensified
by the personal appearance of Captain
James, the famous life saver of Hull,
Mass, whose courageous deeds have been
chronicled for years past. The old hero
will personally direct the storm and life
saving scene.

project for petitioning the Housatonic

in favor of making an effort to induce
