and one of cattle loaded at Cassville
for shipping and VIM. Thirson of this

kilograms that they couldn't be
shipped on account of snow bound
trains beyond Savanna; so they had
to be unloaded and kept over.

THE BOXING CARNIVAL.

All the pugilists who appear at the New Haven Athletic club boxing car nival at the Hyperion theater next Monday evening, March 2S, are train- ing faithfully, and no excuses will be offered by any of them after the con- test is over. The bout between Dick O'Brien and Dick Moore will surely surpass any contest ever seen in this part of the country, and as both men have met before, a good contest may be looked for. In Brooklyn, after a contest between the two, lasting four- teen rounds, the decision was given to O'Brien. Both Moore and O'Brien lege Point, L. l., and O'Brien at the Savoy President Dunn of the New Haven Athletic club has secured a suite of rooms at the Savoy, and James Dunn will fit them up so that O'Brien will have every thing he desires.
 The ten round go between Danny Mcbride and George Siddons should be a very hot affair, and as both boys are getting in tip-top shape a good battle will be expected from them. They are two as clever featherweights as there are in the country. Charlie Kelly, who meets Jack Leonard, is taking no chances, and can be seen every morning running from the Ald- rich house to Savin Rock, and will also be right up to the limit. If Kelly wins with Leonard, Woods will match him to meet either Austin Rice or Dave Sullivan, at the next show.

 One of the most notable of the spring openings being held in New England is that of Malley, Nicely & Co. at their big double stores at the corner of Tenn pie and Chapel streets.

The highest art of the milliner has been called into requisition and the crea- tions resulting which will adorn New Haven's fairest are indeed triumphs of the milliner's art.

 Buy-Me. The greatest display of walk
 ing suits ever seen in the city is shown.

 elusive society. They are made in

Call From Cnhn.

Call From Cuba. Heed ye not the cries of Cuba? Hear ye not her clanklng chains? See ye not the tyrant ruling Laying waste fair Cuba's plains? Can you In this land of freedom List In silence to her cries? Can you watch her peoples suff'rlngs With calm and unmoving eyes? Why sit you thus with folded hands, And watch her struggling in vain To lift from her poor bleeding neck The cruel foot of tyrant Spain. The bands of slavery are strong, But stronger still Is freedoms cry, We'll never rest till we are free And for sweet liberty we'll die. For Cuba Libre thus we pray, Extend to us a helping hand That we may have the courage true, To drive the Spaniards from our land,

SHEFFIELD SCHOOL LECTURES.

0dEfflELD SCf1OOlL LECIORES.
 The last lecture in the Sheffield course will be given by Prof Sanders of Yale university this evening. His subject will be the Folk Songs of In dia," and this he will illustrate by the voice and piano. Prof. Sanders made a special study of these songs when in India some years ago, and the au- dience will have an opportunity of hearing specimens of Indian music which have never been published, and which Prof. Sanders gleaned directly from the people.
 Prof. Hopkins, whose lecture on the Temples of India" was cut short by an unfortunate accident to the elec- trical apparatus of the lantern, has kindly consented to show at the close of Prof Sanders lecture the slides which the audience missed. This last lecture will, therefore show India from two points of view.

 At our first sale (two weeks ago) some entire lines advertised were closed out the first day. The moral to be gathered from this fact is-walk in look around today.
