GLASSES AT CHARTER OAK.
The s1O,O0O Stake for 2:17 Trotters
 New July Races.

The $10,O00 Stake for 2:17 Trotters
 New July Races.
 The managers of Charter Oak park have decided to amend the stake pro- gram for two Hartford trotting meet ings by making several changes in the in the classes. The $10,0OO Charter Oak stake will be for trotters of the 2:17 class instead of the 2:18 class. Under the old regime the big stake at Hart ford was for 2:20 trotters, but since that time the pneumatic sulky has been introduced so that the managers deem it necessary to advance the race to the 2:17 class in order to draw an equally high class of horses. This contest is to be fixture at Charter Oak and will be renewed from year to year under the same conditions.
 The 2:11 class of the grand circuit meeting has been changed to the 2:14 class while, for the July meeting there will be a 2:16 class instead of 2:17 class, and PIP class replaces the 2:11 class,

PATRICK TIERNEY MONUMENT.
Fund Sufficient to Erect it Has Been Raised

II
 Raised
 The committee of New Haven mem- bers of the Ancient Order of Hibernians have succeeded in completing the fund to be used in erecting a monument to the memory of Patrick Tiernan one of the Irish national leaders. This task has been accomplished after eleven years. In 1887 a committee consisting of, Captain Lawrence O'Brien. James Reynolds, Captain Patrick O'Connor and J. D. Cunningham was appointed to raise funds for the monument. The contributions have grown slowly until a few days ago, when it was decided that sum sufficient to complete the enterprise had been secured.
 Captain O'Brien has prepared plans for the monument, which will be of Quincy granite and in the form of a Celtic cross. The monument will be about twelve feet in height, finelyNpol- ished, suitably inscribed. It will be erected in St. Bernard's cemetery, where the Irish patriot is buried, and it is be- lieved the dedication will take place during the coming summer.

Bridgeport is not so far be- hind the procession that it needs to rush matters, and to emulate the ex- ample of Elizabeth, N. J., some years ago.

SHOWED UNDUE HASTE
IN EXCLUDING FRUIT FROM
GERMANY
But San Jose Scale Is a Good Bug to
Keep Out Of the Germau
Orchards

WASHINGTON, Feb. SIT Is inti-
mated that the German authorities are
beginning to believe that they have act
ed with undue precipitancy in the issu-
ance Of the decree excluding American
fruits, and 1t Is said that disposition
has been shown to attribute the variety
of action taken to the executive zeal ol
the subordinate officers stationed at the
principal ports and on the frontier. To.
day Ambassador White cabled the State
Department that the present importa-
ton of live plants was absolutely pro.
hibited, but that fresh fruit not infected
was being admitted freely. Inasmuch
as the value of the live plants and shrubs
exported from the United States to Ger
many last year was only little more
than $4,000, the last phase Of the en-
clusion decree is not regarded as Of very
large Importance.
HUNTING FOR BUGS
BERLIN, Feb. S.-An official news.

Thus far the bundesrath resolution re-
gdrQlnS American ITuIL IpdS UCch Aoh y
applied. There has been only single
case of complaint. Eighty-one boxes Of
American fruit, stopped at Hamburg
are alleged to be infected with the Sar
Jose bug.
In the reichstag today, before the
budget committee, Count Posadowski
minister of the interior, said the sar
Jose scale, according to entomologists
was a very dangerous insect. The fed.
eral government, he added, had beer
obliged to act promptly, but considerate'
ly, and expert Investigations were pro-
ceeding, upon which the final decision
of the government would be based. Re.
garding the United States treatment o.
German sugar. he said negotiations were
progressing, the result of which must bt
awaited.
Baron Won Thieimann, secretary of tht
imperial treasury, admitted that tht
complaints Of unfair treatment Of Ger.
mans sugars were justified. and HI
thought that the revival Of the Ameri.
can beet sugar industry was especially
injurious to the German export trade.

Base Ball.

The Mullica Hill team proved very easy
for the Country Club last Saturday and
were defeated by the official score of Is tC
y The two runs scored by Mullica Hill
were pure gifts of Umpire Fox and it was
no fault of McFetridge's nor the result OF
good batting by the visitors. The decision
referred to is the one in the ninth when be
called JOS White safe after he had clearly
been thrown out by Van Hart. The one
calling Madara safe at third was the most
fragrant we ever saw.
A more one sided game would be hard to
imagine, although it was interesting from
start to finish, as it was plainly evident
from the way Jack" sent them in that he
was going to make a record for himself
He made strikeout record for Woodbury.,
having q to his credit. All the hits made
against him were scratches.
Thirteen men faced him in the first four
innings, one hit, an easy one in the dia-
mond, one got hit and the rest struck out.
In the sec nd, third aud fourth no one on
the visiting team hit q fair ball, nine
straight strike outs.
McFetridge' sgreat work left the ielders
very little to do. the only errors being a
mnffed liner by Medallion and tumble by
Van Hart, which should not count against
him as he got it to first yards ahead of the
runner, but Fox said no
The support given to Davies was not
what his pitching deserved He pitched a
fine game for the first FIVE innings, only
allowing two hits. Had the team back of
him held up their end he might have lasted
much longer. Woodbury. scored three runs
in the first after he had three strikes on the
first three men, White having failed to hold
one. The sixth inning put the game hope
/ ssly out of reach when the score stood IL
