TO CONSIDER LTPTON'S CHAL
 LENGE.

Large Attendance Expected at the New
 York Yachts Clubs Special Meet
 ing.
 New York, Aug. 9.-It is expected that there will be large attendance at the special meeting of the New York Yacht club on Thursday evening, when the club will consider the preliminary chal- lenge for the Americas cup sent by Sir Thomas Lipton of the Royal Ulster Yacht club.
 The members of the club are showing the liveliest interest in the challenge, and the enxious to have the details set tied as soon as possible. Secretary J. $. V. Oddie said this morning:
 ''The telegram which we received from the Royal Ulster Yacht club is not in any sense of the word challenge. You may appropriately call it a sort of a feeler. The Royal Ulster club merely wants to find out how challenge would be received.
 "A regular challenge has to be a pretty definite sort of an instrument. Our bylaws require that a challenge must contain full dimensions of the challenging craft and many other par ticulars, which, embodied in a chaI- lenge, must be final. The custom house registry of the yacht must also be sent with the challenge"

THE AUGUST METEORs.
The Perseids Are Due Now and Should
 Be Looked For.

The Perseids Are Due Now and Should
 Be Looked For.
 The August meteors, or "Perseids, D as they are now called, from the cir cumstance that they all shoot from the direction of q point in the constellation Perseus, may be expected to make their customary appearance on the nights of the 9th and 10th of the month The nature of meteors is now we'll understood. They are particles of small masses of matter-bits of stone or of metal-which the earth encoun- ters in her passage round the sun, and which, flashing into the earths atmos- phere with velocities fifty or hundred times that of cannon ball. are quick ly heated by the friction of the air to the melting point, and usually within a seconds time have been dissipated into vapor. They appear to range in size from mere grains of sand to Jumps weighing several pounds, and even, occasionally, ton or more. in which cases they are known as meteor ites. There are reasons for thinking that this meteoric matter pervades all interstellar space. Within the bounds of the solar system at any rate, it is so abundant that 1t has been estimated that, one day taken with another, the earth gathers up every twenty-four hours not less than 15,000, ,000 of these tiny bodies.
 These meteors appear for the most part to be aggregated into shoals or swarms, which circulate round the sun moving in elliptical orbits with the reg ularity of planets, millions of them travelling in essentially the same path. Many of these meteor streams cross the earths orbit, and it is from this cir cumstance alone that we have any knowledge of them, for the meteor is too small body to be seen with a tele- scope, and becomes visible only when in fatal moment, it encounters the earth and flashes out of existence Washington Star.

Getting a Town Rid of This Very
 Tough Weed.
 First Selectman Perry c. Morris says that he has instructed all the foremen of town roads to remove with the roots all wild carrots found growing in the highways. This same order was issued last year, and the seleetman thinks that Waterbury's town roads are pret- ty well free of these weeds. After they are removed from the roads they are burned. MT. Morris says that at present several men are engaged in removing them from the town farm, where they have been growing for some time. He thinks that farmers themselves are much to blame for the growing of wild carrots, as they allow them to get into thelr property and blow to adjoining lands.-WateEbury American, '

Cone off, ciated as umpire and as the game abounded in many close decisions Meri- den indulgad in considerable kicking" and Joe Thiesen especially made him. self obnoxious by his remarks to the umpire, which were far from being in good taste. Morris was in the box for Danbury and Miran did the twirling for Meriden and though the hits were even by both teams Meriden was more fortunate in landing at opportune times. In the second inning three hits landed three runs for Meriden: in the sixth a single and double were placed In succession, while in the seventh Howell and Thiesen each had double to his credit. Again in the ninth in- ming a single by Thiesen was immedi- ately duplicated by Smith, while Wilson doubled

Grand Excursion to Glen Island Yestcr-

day.
 The steamer John H. Starin with 800 members of the Patriotic Order Sons of America on board made it's usual trip yesterday to Glen Island the fav- orite summer resort of the sound. The threatening weather caused many who otherwise would have gone to remain al home, nevertheless those who braved the clements thoroughly enjoyed the pleasant sail and amused themselves to their hearts content. The musical programme consisted of selections by Smith brothers, the Premier Dutch comedians, in their own inimitable style. The Washington quartet camp, No. 8, consisting of B. F. Hendricks, B. w. Hendricks, H. c. Loomis and J. c. Collins, rendered several fine selec- tions which pleased immensely.

State League.

New London, Aug. 1.-The Colts again demonstrated their ability to keep up the pace with the fastest teams in the league, on the home grounds, by defeating New Haven this afternoon by the score of 8-1. By fortunate punching of hits in the first and third innings New London made their only scores, while New Haven did not get man across the plate until the eighth inning and then they deserved to be shut out. In this inning Johnston went out, and Duffy singled; Pfenninger then hit to short, who touched second base and was about to throw the ball to first when Duffy accidental ly knocked his arm and the ball went wild. A single later by Dietrich en- abled Pfenninger to score. In the last four innings but one New Londoner reached second base. New Haven at several stages seemd to be about to score, but when hits were wanted they were not forthcoming. The score:

AT WATERRIIRY.

Waterbury, Aug. 9.--In a magnificent game of ball at Waterbury this after noon Waterbury won out from Bridge port in very close game, the score re- sulting 20 There was no scoring in the game excepting in the fourth in- ming, when by few hits, clever bunt- ing and good base running Waterbury managed to get two runs. During the rest of the game it was warmly con- tested and there were many brilliant plays by both teams, particularly in the intield.
 Mansfield won his prettiest game of the season and only three singles were made off of him. Dunleavy, who pitch ed for Bridgeport. was very effective and his steady work would have been winning ball under usual conditions. He allowed but eight hits and they were we'll scattered A feature of the game was the continual ''jollying" be- tween Roger Connor and Jim O Rourke, and both the old timers were in very facetious mood, and the fun was im- anensely enjoyed by the spectators. In the eighth inning Roger Connor made his third base hit and had the crowd laughing at O'Rourke, who had not hit
  safely during the game. Roger at tempted to steal second, however, on the hit when O'Rourke made a rapid throw with the result that in a close decision for Umpire Houle Connor was declared out and the decision was re- ceived with shouts of laughter by the spectators, while O'Rourke danced with glee behind the plate. Connor was at first inclined to get angry, but man. aged to retain his good nature and par ticipated in the laugh at his expense. The score:
