New Haven Team May Locate in Meriden
After All.
Meriden, July 9,-Manager Ted Sulli-
van of the New Haven ball team was
in Meriden to-day consulting with Man
ager GrlAiths of Hanover park about
locating the Atlantic league New Ha-
Ven team in this city.
Manager Sullivan visited the ball
grounds at Hanover park, and looked
over the place very carefully, and was
very much pleased with them, In fact,
he was so much pleased that he at
once telegraphed his team, which is
now stopping in New Haven, to come
up to Meriden this afternoon and spend
to-day and tomorrow here trying the
grounds and looking over the place
On Saturday the team plays in Hart
cord.
Manager Sullivan said to a Republic
can reporter this afternoon that he was
ready to come to Meriden against the
protests of many New Haven people,
provided he could get the baseball
ground free. He said in other cities
railroad companies were building base
ball grounds and giving them to the
clubs, simply to have the clubs locate.
He did not care he said, whether the
matter was arranged through the rail-
road company or by subscription.
Manager Griffiths said he was anx-
ious to have the team locate here, pro-
vided he could make arrangements that
We're not against his interests. Base
ball games brought nothing to him I'M
less he waS interested in the team. He
has no interest in Manager Sullivan's
team, so to give the use of the grounds
free would not be any aid to him. but,
on the contrary, would probably inJure
his business somewhat.
Superintendent Bristol was consulted
and arrangements have been made to
meet Colonel Hess to see if concessions
cannot be made by which Manager
Griffths can afford to allow Manager
Sullivan the free use of the grounds.
The Atlantic league meets tomorrow
and will consider proposition to al
low the New HaVenS TO locate IN Merl-
den.

il is certain that as soon as he sat

OF this habit he lost several. poles and

Portuguese Have Lost the Impulse of
Discovery and Conquest.
TENDER. A. D. 1896.
. w. GARRETT,
Secretary of state

Portuguese Have Lost the Impulse OF
Discovery and Conquest
In the early years of the sixteenth
century, long before the first Dutch fort
was erected at Cape Town, Portugal
had planted her settlers at various
points along theeast coast from Delagoa
bav to the Zambesi and Mozambique,
says Century. They did some trading
in gold and ivory with the interior, and
they assembled the Zambesi for several
hundred miles. But the pestilential
strip of flat ground which lay between
the coast and the plateau damped their
desires and threw obstacles in the way
of their advance. They did little TO eX-
plore and nothing to civilize the inte-
rior.
Three centuries passed, during which
our knowledge of south central Africa
was scarcely extended; and it was not
until some 60 years ago that the Dutch
Boefs,N in their slow wagons, passed
northeastward from Cape Colony to the
spot where Bloemfontein and Pretoria
now stand; not till 1886 that DAVID
Livingstone made his way through
Buchuanaland to the Victoria falls OF
the zambesi and to the Atlantic coasta at
Loanda; not till 1889 that the vast ter
ritories which lie between the Trans
vaal republic and Lake Tanganyika be-
gan to be occupied by the Mashonaland
pioneers. All these farmers, exploring
and mining prospectors came up over
the high plateau from the extreme
southernmost end of Africa, checked
