UNION STATION HACKS,

One Of the things likely to come be-
fore the license board at the meeting.
this afternoon, IS the petition Of the
Boston and Albany Railroad, asking
that the hacks on the outer circle of
the company's property at Union depot
be removed. Last year the company
was given leave to withdraw on a SIM
liar petition, but the matter cannot be
disposed Of so sumnarily this year.
There is no denying the fact that the
hacks interfere with the access Of other
teams to the station, and a wide detour
is necessary to reach the entrance. The
matter Is a complicated one for the
hacknen have been given permission to
stand there. On the other hand, it is
seriously questioned If the city govern
ment has a right to give any one per-
mission to block q public square, for
that is precisely the case at the depot
An opinion is expected from the city So
licitor regarding the matter. Possibly
he may be called in for consultation.

CASEY LOST.
Birds of the W est Too Much for

The Great Cooking Main in Illinois Left
New England Sports Much Out
Of Pocket.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-Chicago birds de-
feated the eastern representatives yes
terday in one of the greatest cooking
mains ever held in the west.
The cocks were furnished by John
Mackin of this city. and Frank Casey
Of Blackstone, Mass. The latter was &C
companied by about dozen prominent
sporting men from Boston, who were
anxious to back his birds. The main
was for $4,000, and large amounts were
wagered upon each battle.
Because of threatened prosecution by
the Illinois Humane Society, which Of
fered a reward for information, the bat
ties were fought at Antioch, H., about
40 miles from this city. Twenty-one
birds were shown by each side, of which
10 fell in. The weights were 4 pounds
and ounces to catch weights, alterna-
ting heavy and light birds. The east
ern contingent was well supplied with
money, and bet the western men to
s5andstill, both on the main and each
battle. Casey won the first four with
out much trouble, and the score was 8
to 1 after the sixth. Maclzin had fought
three Japs sent especially by Grenn of
Sacramento, Cal. In each instance they
lost without even putting up a good
fight. He then changed his tactics and
refused to throw in any more Japs, US
ing birds bred by himself and Groves.
With the score 6 to Q against him, he
won six straight battles. One cock won
twice. The main lasted six hours. 1t
was hard one for Casey to lose, es-
pecially as his chickens lost two Of the
critical battles after having a big adj
vantage. Casey is said never to have
lost main before, while Macxin has
not been defeated for several years.
The eastern men are supposed to have
lost between $4,000 and $4,000 on the re-
suit. TON" Hanlon of this city Off

though the battle was fought yesterday,

CITY HAS NO RIGHT TO DIsCRTM-
MATE.

Judge Richardson Of the superior
court has handed down decision in
Boston, to the effect that cities have
no right to discriminate between union
and non-union laborers in their en-
ployment on city work. This has some
bearing on the local Canterbury street
school house troubles.
There is no indication that Worcester
will try to discriminate between the
union and non-union men Supt. Peck s
recommendation that the work be done
by contract, will no doubt be adopted
by the committee on public buildings,
to which it was referred, and the mat
ter brought before the city government
in the form of an order to rescind the
order which provided for day work, and
ask that the work be given out to con-
tract in the future. 1t looks as if the
labor union had stopped over.
