The Offer of the Hubinser Brothers Not
 Accepted.

The Offer of the Hubinser Brothers Not
 Accepted.
 Speaking of the proposed race be- tween horses owned by George l.. Lilley of this city and the Hubingers of New Haven the Journal and Courier says: At the recent Derby races, the Hubinger brothers and George l.. Lilley of Waterbury had considerable talk about matching their trotters. At this time the Hubingers made several propo- sitions, one after another, none of which Mir Lilley accepted. The Hubin- gers preferred to have the match de- cided on the track in this city, but they have concluded to waive their prefer ence for their own track and in defer ence to MT Lilley's wishes have made him another proposition for match to be decided on a track of his choice, winch IS the Norwalk track. For the purpose of making the match the Hubingers sent their driver, Mir Lewis, l to Waterbury on Thursday with certi- fled check for $1,000 and a written agreement for MT Lilley to accept or decline. The agreement specified that the Hubingers would match their gray trotter, Lady Thompson, 2:264, against MT Lilley's gray horse, Parker J., 2:294, or the brown trotter Lynx, that is in Mir Lilley's charge, and like the other horse is eligible to the 2:27 class. An offer of this kind is a little out of the ordinary, as the Waterbury man can match either one or both of his horses against the Hubingers' single horse. At the recent Poug hkeepsie meeting Parker J. went trial mile in 2:22t. but this does not deter the New Haven men from having a race between the horses.
 An audience of about 200 witnessed the races at the driving park yesterday afternoon. In the 2:50 class Sam Lowe's Sophie Jefferson finished first; Clark Nichols Kittie, second; Steve Lowe's Dick, third. N. J. McGraths Joe won the matched race for $50. In the 3:25 class c. F. Robinson's Emma finished first; J. Breen's Larry second, and G. Cornelius Prince Applewood, third. George B. Browns Sport, which was entered in the 3:25 class, dropped dead on the track after the first heat.
 A game of continuous pool, one hun dred points, for $25 side will be played at Harvey Brothers pool rooms on Fri day evening, December 4. between Will liam Harvey and Harry Hunter of New Haven.

 MANCHESTER, Nov 7.-Burglars entered the station of the New England road here last night and ransacked the build ing. They obtained quantity of tickets, the value of which has not yet been de- termined. They secured nothing else at the depot and then went into the postoffice next door. Evidently they at once went to work on the safe, boring several holes which they filled with gunpowder. The explosion blew off the door of the safe, but the robbers were probably frightened away before they could operate on the interior apartment in which the money is kept. They took several packages of stamps leaving the money untouched. ~n%

THOUGHT READING
Wonderful If it is True and Clever If II Is "a
Game of Fraud.

London Daily News: "Psyehognosis'
is the title which NJ. Guibal has adopted
for a new and certainly very remarkable
development of what is familiar to us
under the name of the thought reading
process. The method adopted b. NJ Gut
bal may be briefly described, stating by
way of Introduction, that on Saturday
afternoon he submitted it to the severest
and closest test to which it could be sub
jected at the hands of an audience com
posed mainly of press men and members
of the medical profession, among whom
was DR.. Bond of Westminster hospital
Miss Greville, NJ GuibaI's medium, is
young lady Of progressing appearance,
dad in flowing white robes After mes
merizing his subject, NJ Guibal collected
from his audience a dozen or so pieces Of
paper on which they had written their sew
eraI requests Then the seance began
NJ. Guibal never uttered a word At Il
motion Of his hand, Miss, Grevilie, whose
eyes were undoubtedly closed, rose from
her seat, descended the steps from the
stage to the audience, aud unhesitatinRly
made her way to a gentleman in the front
row of the stalls, and taking piece of
paper from his hands, wrote the figures
S. She next, simply guided by NJ, Gui-
ual's hand, though sometimes he was be-
hind her and sometimes in front, but
never close to her, went to a gentleman
and took off his hat. Finding her way to
another gentleman she felt his pulse.
From another she took an umbrella and
gave three raps on the ground with it,
She next took a pocket book and selected Il
particular article, and from a card ease
belonging TO another 9. Ntieman she ex-
tracted three cards and cave tuem to him.
A we'll known journalist had submitted a
off the chain and place it in Capt Moles-
worth pocket This was done without
any hesitation Other things were set for
her to do on the stage, all Of which were
performed to the absolute satisfaction Of
those who had demanded them.
Throughout the whole seance there was
no faitering or hesitation 10 rushing
about with the hand Of the medium tight
~ pressed to the forehead Of another per.
son and then, after number of mistakes,
hitting, by hook or crook, upon the right
thing at last The accuracy of each d. l.
nation was as astonishing as the readiness
with which it was accomplished.
There was no questioning the bona fdes
of the audience, They were mostly known
80 each other, and though they went in
no uniriendiv spirit of crlticising, they
did their best to test NJ Guibal's ability
The requests of the audience were only
known to those who wrote them and to NJ.
Guibal himself, and they We're not announ-
ced until each demand had been satisfied

CHEAP POETRY
story of One who has Made Fortune
Out of it.


On the top floor Of one the tallest build
ings in upper New York, says a correspond
emit of the Boston Journal. tolls an old
man who has probably written more poet
r. than any other single man living.
His business is that Of writing the
poetic" notices which one finds in the
cheap candies of the day. Poetry which
could never see the light Of day III any
other way is hidden in these tissue paper
ed party candies.

and has accumulated fortune although

profitable. [ have built fourteen city and
country houses out of it, In year or two
shall lay down the pen for good and let
some one else take up the work. How do
you write 80 much2 Why. it has become

it is profitable, much better than writing
bad novels, for, after all, Iny verses never
do any harm They are silly, grant you,
but perfectly harmless, and young lads
and girls like to be merry over them.
Dear me, suppose I've married many a

AN AMERICAN TRIUMPH.

American ingenuity seems to have won
a signal victory in the matter OF mmor-
plate. There has been another trial Of
plates, on, once more the plate composed
Of steel containing "a alloy Of nickel has
withstood the projectiles fred against it,.
But at the trial which took place at Ann
apolis, a few days since, plates we're tested
that we're treated bya process OF superb
cial carbouzation, the invention Of II. A.
Harvey Of Newark, H. j The pure steel
plate was smashed 10 pieces. The steel
plate treated with the process withstood
better, but the treated nickel-5teel plate
came out of the trial PRACTICABLE anInjured,
the proiecties being broken The great
value Of this process consists in the fact
that the carbonization takes the place Of
weight, so that, for instance, ship will
be just as we'll protected by its use with
Is per cent. of the weight Of metal. This
will make At possible to greatly increase
the coal capacity and other accormo-
dations
