NOW STUDY THE STARS.
August Is the Month to Contemplate
 the Twinkling Mysteries.

the Twinkling Mysteries.
 August is the month for studying the stars. party of earnest young New Ha-
 ven students of astronomy were out until 3 o'clock yesterday locating all the stars in the Armament that they were qualified to do by their studies of the beautiful science and finer night for observing heavens than was this one is seldom obtained. The young men of the party vied with the young ladies in the opportunity the stars afforded for advancement in the study in question, and the fair faces of the young ladies never detracted for moment from the zeal of their mates of the sterner sex in pursuit of astronomical lore Every in fuence invites to life in the open air and peaceful contemplation of the twinkling mysteries that people the star depths Ob- servers may easily learn the names of the principal stars that shine in the August sky, and the same stars will return to the same places on every succeeding August The bright red star in the northwest is Arcturus; the red star in the southeast is Antaries, the star shining alone low in the south is Fomalhaut, the brilliant Vega is nearly overhead, Altair lies southeast of Vega, while late in the evening the spark ling Capella comes beaming above the hori- zon in the northeast These are the first magnitude stars that are easily found, though Regulus and Spica are still visible in the twilight in the west.
 No intelligent person will have any diff fculty in tracing out Jupiter these nights from the maze of orbs that gem the celes- tial conclave. It is brighter than any other luminary except the moon, and it's identity cannot be readily hidden. In the east on the opening evenings of August it may be seen about 9 o'clock, and it comes into view earlier as the days pass. Throughout the entire night, as it swings upward toward the zenith and downward toward the west, it will be in the field of vision. Technically, it is not yet an even ing star but it will attain this distinction on September 5, when it rises just as the sun sets. From this time until Venus ap- pears in the evening sky, about two months hence, the giant planet will be the most charming object which the Armament affords.
 Summer resorts afford favorable condi- tions for observing the stars. They have a charm of their own when seen from the seashore, and they are impressive when viewed from the grand sky-reach of rural retreats, but they are at their best when observed from the mountain top or noun | tain side. The brightest stars shine there like jewels, collections of diamonds, topazes, rubies and amethysts, their light | is more tangible, pervading the atmos- phere with a celestial influence, which is | felt but cannot be described, and, above | all, they seem to be nearer, as if the suns of space descended from their infinite heights to hold communion with mortals, while the Milky Way, the misty pathway that leads to the celestial abode, seems to start from the sky and assume the form of countless cloudlets, through whose i'm palpable tissue gleam here and there stars 5renulous with brightness.

A Funny Dog.

For the last few days black dog of medium size has taken it into his head to assist in running the New Haven and West Haven horse railroad. He starts from some place on Carlisle street and ac- companies car to Savin Rock, trotting all the way and appears to feel a great re- sponsibility. His work is telling on him and he is growing very thin. Yesterday on one of his trips he was much disturbed by various CUTS of low degree who did not seem to understand that he was at work and could not be bothered. The conduc- tors and others who notice his perform ances are wondering how long he will hold out.

THE TAIL.ENDERs WIN AGAIN.


 Lebanon,s Rocky Aggregation En- counters the Disorganized New Ha- veners and Takes a Slow Game-A Crippled Team and Lack of Enthu- siasm-Hov the Runs Were Scored.
 One of the most execrable exhibitions of ball playing ever given in this city was that of yesterday afternoon between the New Haven and Lebanon teams at the Howard avenue grounds. Both teams acted as though they were half dead and piled up error after error until as one of the spectators remarked, the game resem- bled Ca comedy of errors" Both teams seemed to vie with each other as to which could pile up the most errors. and when the farce was finally over, it was seen that they had kept so close together and so evenly balanced that each team was charged with the same number. The attendance was small. Scarcely 300 persons were present to witness the rag ged work of the once alert and clean-field | ing New Ravens. Doyle and Pettee counted up the most errors against them | selves, but the lack of spirit shown by all Of the men was u1SnearGen1ng. Lebanon | followed closely on the tracks of New Ha- ven, Cross, the shortstop, doing particu- 1arly yellow work. New Haven's cripple battery, Homer and Theisen, were put in | to do the work. The strained tendons in Horner's leg prevented him from moving about with his accustomed quickness, and the usually alert fielding of his position was not up to his usual work. q l The New Ravens started in with rush in the first inning, and it looked as thougt they would have an easy time with Leba 1 non. Four wide balls gave Carroll his base. Shortstop Cross and Catcher Kurs came bravely up to the help of the New Ravens at this point, and two unearned runs on their five errors were scored Then the home team took to hitting, anG Lally, Sales, Theisen, Sommer and Hornel tapped Goodal's curves for five successive bases. In all, five runs were made be 1 fore Lebanon retired the side.
 The latter team made the body of thei runs in the fifth and sixth innings, whe1 seven runs were tallied on an aggregate O only four scattered hits.

His Nose Broken by a Fall,

Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock lit tie Timmie Glynn, the eight-year old son of Thomas Glynn, the stone polisher in the employ of Edward OBrien, was playing around the large outlet of the East street sewer at the foot of Laurel street. In some unknown manner his foot slipped and he fell headlong on the oaken blanks, which are full of small stones. When picked up he was unconscious and bleed ing from several places about the head and face. He was taken to his home on the corner of Hamilton and Myrtle streets. He continued to bleed copiously, but re- gained consciousness. Dr. Cremin, who was summoned, stopped the bleeding after @ little while. The doctor says he was summoned in the nick of time and that the child almost bled to death. Timmie is a very precocious child, and always an amusing favorite with tue neighbors. The place where he was hurt is what is known along Mill River street as the "big sewer." It is an outlet of the East street sewer at the foot of Laurel street, and is built of heavy blocks of stone, and the top is about twelve feet from the wooden platform which supports it. The platform is gen. erally full of small stones and pieces of briok

and Tons of Hay and Oats.
 NEW CANAAN, Aug 5.-At midnight last night the main barn belonging to Stephen Hoyt's Sons, nurserymen, was discovered to be on fire. The fire caught in the hay loft and as there is no fire department here the building was consumed. The neigh bors with water buckets tried to put out the fire, but to no purpose. The flames spread to the other large cattle barns. The barns were destroyed, but the cattle were gotten out in safety. Over one hundred tons of hay and one thousand bushels of oats were consumed. The horse barn, which was slate roofed and timed, was saved. The loss is $10,000, with $6, ,000 insurance. This is the third time the Hoyts have been burned out It is gener- ally believed that the fire was started by the incendiary who has set so many fires in this vicinity recently.
