WORLD OF SPORTS.

Thomas T. Brown of the Boston asso- citation nine may we'll be proud of his work. He is the first player in the club to make 100 safe hits, and, barring acci- dents, he will be the first in the country to make 100 runs. Donovan of the Louisvilles, who has been batting so finely this year, was the first man in the country to make 100 hits. Donovan batted safely in IS straight games this year, and this record was made off first class pitchers. It simply shows that players have their off years. and that ''Patsey" did not have the show he wanted in Boston and Brooklyn.

pR BRAGG WINS HIS CASE.
The Grand Lodge Reports on the Charg
 Against Him.

ASalnsC hlm'
 The charges brought against Dr James D. Bragg by Park City lodge, N. E. O. F., of Bridgeport, have been in vestigated by the Attorney William H. Ely, representing the grand lodge and found untrue. Following is the finding of MT Ely:
 "In the matter of charges against J, D. Bragg, M. D., of Bridgeport, referred to me for investigation, I beg leave to report that I have examined into said charges, and have seen the persons from whom the information of improper con- duct on the part of J. D. Bragg was said to have come, and have interro- gated all parties who were said to have any information in regard to such i'm proper conduct. ... -.r.-
 ''As the result of said investigation I am convinced, and do therefore report to you and to the executive board of the supreme lodge, that there is no founda- ton whatever for said charges, and the parties inquired of not only say that there is no truth in the charges, but deny that they have ever said or inti- mated that Dr Bragg has done or at, tempted to do any of the acts mentioned in the charges preferred"

In general orders No 8 just issued by Brigadier General Watson, paragraph II says: "The militia law of this state, in every member of the National Guard says: Absence without leave from either of the roll calls will be deemed as absence for the entire day, and so re- ported on the payroll The penalty for each day of such absence is fine of $5, and for any unsoldierly conduct. or dis obedience of orders fine of $10 may be imposed, and the offender may be put under arrest during such encampment. Commanding officers are directed to see that enlisted men absent without leave, are legally notified of fines, and that the fines are collected"

The Green Cloth in Church.

The church naturally took more or less of the local color in early times, says the Butte City Miner, and the anomaly of a professional gambler as a leading church member might easily occur. A story goes that there were several of these men who were pretty regular attendants at church in Last Chance gulch- As United States money was scarce and gold dust was the ordinary medium of exchange. it sometimes happened that the knights of the green baize had no money with them when the plate went around. On such occasions they would toss a faro or poker chip into the dish, and the deacon would go the next day and have the dust weighed out in payment It was not uncommon for amounts to range from ten dollars to twenty dollars. It is said the knights are not so reckless in these days, and that they are rarely seen at church. Their tribe is not extinct, bs1{business w:tt them is far from briHk.

Only Two Victims in the Dock This
 Morning.
 Emil Leisring was charged with drunkenness this morning in the police court. He denied having been drunk and said the officer kicked him, making him lame. Officer Thomas said he ordered Leisring home several times be- fore he arrested him. He was fined $1 and costs.
 Patrick Kane was charged with breach of the peace. He went home Thursday night intoxicated and tried to whip his boy. His wife interfered when he struck her. Kane made a strong plea to be let off this time Judge Cowell said he had received more clemency than any one who was ever in court, but he would adjourn his case for two weeks and if he came up again he would send him to jail.

LONDoN'S SOLlDlTY.
F. T. Barnum's Impression of the woE1A'
 Greatest City.

r. T. Barnum's Impression of the woxlAsa
 Greatest City. l One of the most durable and constant impressions that I have got from Lon don, and from England, too, is the solid ity of everything there, wrote the late P. T. Barnum in the North American Review. The English people do not believe in shams or sham work. Their docks and public monuments, and all their public works, express a sense of permanence. They are built, appar- ently, to hold the planet down, and to stay.
 If it is a seat in the park or water ing trough you are noticing, it is no less thoroughly made than the Thames embanl1ment. Indeed, the trough and seat will be found hewed out of solid stone.
 l said, many years ago, when I was abroad, that Paris makes thing to last for day, America makes it to last 8 week, but England makes it to last for ever.
 They have good roads-far better than ours-but they do not take to light wagons like ours. The frames of some of their vehicles are as heavy, if not heavier, than the balloon frames we put in our houses.
 And how ashamed 1t makes one of New York to see, as one does in Lon don, the smooth and well paved Streets, and carriages going over them equipped with rubber tires to deaden the noisel Asphalt is now the common pavement, and the one most preferred, although certain streets are macadamized in a fine and thorough way. The asphalt pavement becomes so smooth that the horses, when they go down hill over which it lies, do not lift up their feet, but slide-almost skate-down the in. cline. Their intelligence has taught them that this Is the easiest and most practicable way.
 On the other hand, horses that have never been away from prairie, or ex. tremely level country, do not learn the use of the bre eching on 8 harness, and go down hill, if they are ever removed to a country of different topography, without attempting to hold back, and without k1towing how l>" '' ! -e%

Editor Porter Defends Himself

Editor Porter Defends Himself By
 Abusing His Accuser.
 HARTFORD, July 1.-The Hartford Post, John Addison Porter's paper, will to-day publish long article denouncing Hon Lynde Harrison and his political career.
 It will also publish series of letters from such republicans as Ex-Mayor Root, Governor Bnlkeley, George L. Chase, J. M. Allen and others, the gen. eral tenor of all the letters being that MT Harrison is a traitor to his party, not only in the present case but on other occasions, notably Tn the secret ballot business. The Post attrl- butes the democratic complexion of the senate to his work ,nor does it hesitate to mention his name in connection with the Consolidated road. He is called a disgruntled lobbyist. MT Porter will re- ply to the charges of MT Harrison early next week,

THE POLICE FORGE.
Conflicting Opinions in Regard to the
 PrODOsed Tncraaso

Conflicting Opinions in Regard to the
 Proposed Increase.
 It is said that nearly fifty applications have already been received for positions on the police force, which is about t0 be increased by an addition of six pafroI- men, unless Mayor Baldwin sees fit to veto the measure.
 zens as to their views upon this matter with the following result:
 Councilman Finn: It is necessary to have an increase of six on the police force, because after 6 o'clock at night rows take place in the suburbs of the city and when the aggressor or aggressors are arrested that portion of the city is left unprotected.
 J. M. Burrall: The force is sufficiently large at present. It is only an expendi- ture of the city's money and it is in debt enough already.
 w. Cutler: It is necessary to increase the police force, but think six are too many, and that the city is too much in debt already.
 Martin Bergin: The increase of the police force is certainly something need. full, but l do not think that more than three new men are necessary.
 J. w. Cone: I think it necessary tc have an addition to the police force, but three or four would answer the purpose E. H. Gaylord The police force if suffi ciently large for the present, if g competent man is put in George Roots place. It is not right for the common council and commissioners to try anG work their friends into position at the expense of the city. Others were seen who did not wisl their names used. Most of them favored adding from four to six men to the force

A propos of the above: Before me are two bottles of water. One was taken from the Mad river in Woodtick nearly a year ago, and is clear and fresh-look- ing except for slight deposit. It has no disagreeable odor. The second was dipped from Hop brook a few weeks ago, and is muddy and foul. The fact is that Hop brook is to-day almost dry, while the overflow from Quassapaug could almost be gathered in child's tin cup.
