WORLD OF SPORTS.

Welch and Sheehan, who formerly played ball on the old Hartford team, have signed to play with the Lewiston. Me, club this season.
 The cranks of Winsted would un- doubtedly like to see triangular league formed, including the Meridens, Acmes of Waterbury and WIrsteds. .-Winsted Citizen.
 The present indications point to the organization of good base ball team at Bridgeport. So many years have elapsed since the city has had a good team that the people are eager for the national game again. Manager Dan Shannon and Charles Belknap have en- tered into an agreement with several good players and good team is practi- cally assured. New York anl Brook lyn league teams will play there, and the city will put its team into the pro- posed state league.
 Meriden is to have a base ball nine built on the cooperative plan. The members of the team for the past two years will organize and elect all officers. The receipts of games will all go into a fund, out of which expenses will be paid and at the end of the season a divi- dend will be declared. A good sche- dule has already been arranged.

WINNING FRESH LAuRELs.

An Excellent Production of the Drama
 "GOld" By the Sacred Heart Church Choir.
 The annual St Patrick's day enter tainment given under the auspices of the choir of the Sacred Heart church is becoming more popular with each suc- ceeding year. and the New England drama "Gold," which was on the bill yesterday, was a pronounced success. In the afternoon the audience was not large, but made up in enthusiasm for what was lacking in numbers. In the evening the City hall, which was RaiIy decorated for the occasion, was crowd ed, and the applause throughout the play was liberal.
 "Gold' is constructed on original lines and has many strong climaxes The play centers around Nathan Bard we'll Edward L. Maloney) and his wife Miss Sadie White) who become the victims of an avaricious neighbor, Thomas Shea. A "salted" gold mine on Bardwells land raises hopes of wealth in the old mans breast and he mort gages the farm to Crosby. Gold bricks are given as security by Richard Blinn and Charles Mayhew (William Wallace and Dennis SlavID) who are Tn the plot with Crosby. Of course the gold on Bardwell's farm did not pan out as ex- pected: the gold bricks are found to be | worthless and the Bardwells are evicted from the old homestead by a sheriff Thomas Bulger. At this stage of the game Ned Bardwell, represented by Thomas Callahan, comes back to the home from which he had been cast out when boy, in time to save his parents from going to the poor house, and all ends we'll. He is accompanied by Blinn, one of the gold brick swindlers, who has returned to right the wrong he has done and to find his daughter, who was stolen when a child. A mark on the arm of the gypsy, which character liam Bergen, proves her to be the long lost daughter of Blinn, and there is general rejoicing. The fun makers of the play are Mike O'Connor and Joe Murphy. Cornelius Maloney and Will liam J. Hughes) Irish farm hands, whose troubles ware great, the former | having married Matilda, an ancient maiden lady, impersonated by Miss Nellie Burgess, while the latter has a mother and ten children dependent upon him. Little Alice Wolff acted Miss May Horigan was a pretty bride, and Thomas Cruess performed we'll the part of James Monroe.
 There was very little that was anna teurish about the play. Every part was we'll taken and the principals at times \ treated the audience to unusually clever bits of acting. Incidental to the play was the pretty bridal march in the first act, led by the Misses Kittie Bowes and Grace Myers, and singing by Mrs Bergen, Miss Nellie Burgess, w. J.
 Hughes and the Messrs Maloney. The music was under the direction of Mrf Lucien Wolff, assisted by William Bergen's select orchestra. Thomas F.
 Freney was the capable stage manager
 A great share of the praise for the suc- Rev F. J. Murphy, who directed the re. hearsals and exercised general super. vision over all the details.

Doings of a Day In the Valley Below
 This City.
 NAUGATUCK, March IS. - "Rory O'Moore" as played by the Gem Drama tic club last night, before a large au- dience, was the poorest play we have ever seen produced by the club. Mir fratt, whose acting generally goes a good ways towards making their plays a success, was not in the cast, nor did the other old members put any spirit into their acting. The characters were well costumed and the stage fairly we'll set, but for nearly one entire act the house and stage were so dark that the audience in the gallery or rear of the house could not discern the characters upon the stage. A jig by the company and a couple of songs by Miss Keefe were well rendered and heartily encored, About one hundred Hibernians cele. brated St Patrick's day by banquet at their rooms last night. President Quinn presided. Among the invited guests were President Murphy of the fire commis. sioners, Rev Father Fitzgerald, DI Delany, and a few from Waterbury and New Haven. Those present had a good time.
 The Young Mems Catholic Institute have engaged the services of the Rev A. P. Doyle to deliver his lecture "Hopes and Fears of the Second Cen tury," at the Gem opera house on Sun day evening, April 9. The admission will be 25 cents. Tickets will be sold ir advance by members.
