The two diving elks were a new at
traction in this section. They walked
up long inclined walk to an elevation
of about thirty-f1ve feet above a deep
pond of water. From the elevation the
elks made leap into the water below,
where they landed with a splash that
threw the water to considerable
height. The performance was watched
with much interest by the race track
patrons. AS stated, this attraction will
be at Lighthouse Point this week.

tracks in this vicinity. Yesterday af-
ternoon the horse was brought out for
exhibition before the grand stand spec

since he was in trotting condition and
frequently in races, and is now sleek
very stylish and as handsome as a pic

THE HARTFORD RACES.
Given by the Gentlemen's Driving Club
at the Half Mile Track-New Haven
Men and Horses at the Races-Inta
Wins Second MONEY!.

The two days race meeting closed
Yesterday afternoon at the Hartford
race track near Albany avenue. The
weather was warm and the patronage
very light. Before the first race was
called Harry Romick of this city came
out with the New Haven PAGER Judge
Clark for a workout. After a little
exercise the PAGER went mile in 2:121a.
Several New Haven men who were at
the track regretted that Romick did
not start him in the race, as ne was re-
garded as fast enough to win a good
part of the purse.
When George H. Mills, the starter,
called up the first race eight horses,
trotters and PAGERS, came out to start.
Considerable New Haven money was
placed on Inta, the bay PAGER from this
city. She won the first heat, after
which she had more backing by the
sports, who found themselves out of
pocket at the close of the race, when
Inta was declared winner of second
money.

readers, but there are now in use In the
schools more than forty different kinds
of supplementary readers, thus allow
ing the children at an early age to ac-
quire knowledge of history, biogra-
ply, science and literature. The good
effects of this method of learning to
read are already manifest In the inter-
est which has developed among the pu-
pills in the general school work, but es-
pecially in their demands upon the IL
brary, which, under the direction of
Mr. Drummond and the teachers, has
been successfully managed without any
expense to the district.
The efficiency of Mr.. Drummonds
work in the schools Is evident on every
hand, and the following testimonial
from Rev. N. ]. Squires is strong in
dorsement:
AS school visitor during the period
covered by Mr.. A. M Drummond's term
of service as supervising principle of
our Union school district-some seven
years. take pleasure in testifying to
| the high esteem in which he is held by
us, both as man and as an educator.
| The schools have made steady adj
vance during his administration, owing,
as I believe, very much to his long ex-
perience, close attention to details and
| high ideals in every department Of ed
| ucational work.
| He has not spared himself in the
least; the welfare Of the schools has
been his supreme thought and daily So
licitude.
| On retiring from this long period of
faithful service he carries with him,
into whatever field of labor he may en-
ter, the best wishes of a large circle of
| teachers, pupils and friends.

confronted by horror-struck neighbors,
cut his own. Both parties are now in

This pleasing delicacy has just been

VISITED INSTITUTIONS.
Joint Legislative Committee
Makes Investigations.


Members of the House and Senate
paid visit TO various Of the Govern
ment institutions yesterday afternoon.
The party was made up of the follow
ing: Senators Kauhane and Lyman
and Representatives Isenberg. Kaai,
Robertson. Pogue, Paris. Richards. Ka-
hauIelio. McCandIess and Gear.
The party first drove 10 the Queens
Hospital. There they were shown
through the wards and other parts
of the building, by Superintendent
Eckart and Messrs. T. \. Schaefer
and \. 5. CIeghorn.
From the hospital the party went to
the jail where they were conducted
about by Kamana. As at the hospital
everything was scrupulously neat. \
gate, in the Railways and OUT in the
prison yard, guards were stationed and,
as the legislators passed. they received
the most military-like Of salutes.
The slaughter house was visited and
then came a call at the Government
washhouse.
At the Asylum proper, the party was
met by Superintendent Cutter, who
showed the members over the grounds
and buildings. DR.. Herbert arrived
little later and assisted Mr.. Cutter.
If the item for the Asylum goes
through in the appropriation bill, a
new but somewhat larger house viii
be placed in the place where the origi-
nal Asylum building now stands. This
latter is rotten, from floor to roof and
shakes by merely passing through. The
kitchen facilities are very meagre.
Out upon the lawn sat or lounged the
inmates of the place. Not one was
kept in his cell but was allowed to be
out in the fresh air. The dangerous
ones were placed in specially con-
structed cells.
In the new building where, at pre-
sent, the women are confined, the OBJ
ject of greatest interest was Mr.. Cut
ter's patent for throwing the locks of
the cell doors. Mr. Cutter now has
patent pending in the United Staes on
an improved arrangement of the kind.
The last institution visited was the
Reform School where the boys were |
drawn up in line out in the sun and
sang a selection for the legislators. |
superintendent Needham conducted the |
party about the grounds and through |
the buildings.
The party returned to town at about |
AS, having been since p. m. on the
trip.
