TO DISCUSS THE BONDS.
No little dissenslon is manifest
relative to the question to be
voted upon by the electors at
the coming contest as to whether
or not the city should issue bonds
to pay it's floating Indebtedness.
AS to the merit of the arguments
advanced against the PROPOSE
ton, we reserve an opinion, but
that the promulgators are candid
in their opinion IS proven by a
desire that the matter should be
publicly discussed. In accord
auce therewioh a meeting of the
business men and taxpayers of
the city has been agreed upon to
be held at the City Hall on Mon
day exening next, at which time
the advantages and disadvan-
tagess of the proposed step. will

 Oh, mind your DIS and as. For while P stands for pears and

THE NEW CHURCH CHOIR.
Certain Statements Relative Thereto That
Call for Amendment.

1t is always dangerous to gossip about
the makeup of church choirs previous
to their official engagement and an
nouncement, as some of our esteemed
contemporaries have found out quite re-
Gently. Numerous plumbers have been
made in the local papers with regard to
musical engagements in the churches
for the year beginning April ], but the
Spy has managed so far to keep toler-
ably clear Of inaccuracies. But misfor-
tunes when they do come never come
singly, and the Spy was doubly unfor-
tunate yesterday morning. BY some
curious inadvertence it was stated that
Henry F. Harris was director of the
First Universalist Church choir, and
that ]. H. Howell was organist at the
First Baptist Church. Probably the
statements deceived nobody for whom
the items had amy interest, but cor
rection seems to be called for, and here
it is. Mr.. Harris though he has been
for some years quite a constant attend
ant upon certain choir rehearsals, is not
choir director, and makes no claim to
special musical ability. Mr.. Howell is
choir director and an excellent bass
singer, but he is not an organist.

SHAW WON.
Expert Pool Match Witnessed
By Large Gathering.
Billy Marsh, the Local Player, Fell Down
on Easy Shots, but Got Many
Difficult Ones.

Lew Shaw, the expert pool and bill
this city, defeated Billy Marsh, a well
known local pool player in $50 bah
money match, Thursday evening.
The game was played in the American
pool rooms on Mechanic street, and
was watched by an interested and en-
thusiastic gathering of about 200 de-
voices of the cushion and carom. Shaw
won the match quite easily, putting $50
balls into the pockets. while his oppon-
ent had scored Ill. Those who were
backing Marsh in the game do not feel
satisfied with the result, and, after the
game, another match was made, to be
played next Monday evening In that
match Shaw will concede % balls to
Marsh.
In Thursday evenings game there was
but little interest in the actual contest,
save in the sixth and seventh frames,
when Marsh, by dint of hard work,
overcame the lead Shaw had secured in
the first three frames. But Marsh's adj
vantage was destined to be short-lived,
for, in the eighth frame Shaw again
forged ahead, and the game after that
was never in doubt, Shaw winning, at
the finish with a margin of 80 pins.
Nevertheless both men made num-
Der of good shots, which were a revela-
ton to less skilled or experienced play
ers, and applause was frequent, al
though the sympathies of the crowd
were, for the most part, clearly wBl
the Worcester man. Both men at times
played erratically, especially Marsh,
who fell down on easy shots, and got
more difficult ones than his opponent.
Some of the comparatively easy shots
were the ones that appeared to bother
the Worcester player the most-espe-
cially straight but long drives for cor
ner pockets.
Shaw played great position game
from the outset, while Marsh paid but
little if any attention to that feature.
The winners control of the white ball
and his position shots were easily the
feature of the game. Had Marsh paid
the attention to position that Shaw did,
the result might have been different.
The score by frames was as follows:

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
Mr. McLaughlln's BiIl-Petition Relating
TO Patent Medicine Sales.

The committee on the judiciary of the
house had before it a bill introduced by
Mr.. Mclaughlin of Worcester, to pre-
vent Misrepresentation by public adj
vertisement of animals wares and man
ufaetured articles intended for sale. Mr.,
Mclaughlin was not present and Mr..
Boutwell, of Maiden advocated precise
w similar bill offered by himself. John
81 E. Coward of Boston was the only
witness. he claiming that he had been
deceived in horse trades and wanted
such practices stopped. The matter
went over, no person appearing to OPP
pose it.
Hon A. S. Pinkerton appeared for a
petition of julius Garst Of Worcester to
prevent the selling of patent medicines
or other articles bearing trademarks or
other form of advertising for less sum
than that stated on the wrapper.
The bill makes the seller liable to the
owner of the trademark, etc, for sum
equal to the price printed on the wrap
per and such other damages as may be
recovered in an action of tort.
w. w Bartlett, president of the Mas
saehusetts Druggists Alliance, indorsed
DR. Garst's position, that such action
was violation of contract. by men
known as cutters" Who sell certain
articles at cost, in order to attract trade,
giving the public the impression they
do business on missionary basis.
Mr. Carter OF Garter, Carter & Kill
ham, said the real purpose was to pre-
vent damage to the manufacturer by
having his articles advertised at less
than its retail price, fixed by said man
ufacturer The bill was further advoca-
ted by Gorham d. Gilman and Mr.
Goodwin of Geo. c. Goodwin Sc Co.
There was no opposition.

form this year. An attempt was made to
discredit this at the time, but subsequent
Spy's assertion. So the news, coming at
this time, will not be a surprise to Verry's
friends here Indeed, Very has been as
good as a member of the Pawtucket team
all winter, satisfactory terms having been
made between Very and the Pawtucket
manager even before Hobe Whiting was

Work at Elm Park


To obadiah &. Hadwen, Esq. Chairman of
the Board of Park Commissioners of the
City of Worcester:
Dear Sir The undersigned citizens of
Worcester, being much interested in the
permanent beauty and practical use OF
Elm Park, desire to express their appre-
citation and approval of your action In the
care and conduct of the park since the
same has been under your administration,
and especially do we commend your action
in clearing up the underbruSh and lower
limbs of the pine trees, that had been TOO
much used to conceal and protect the
practice of persons addicted to insulting
the Innocent, and Transforming the nat
ural beauty of the park into harbors OF the
vile the vicious and the vulgar and pro-
tected and harbored evil-disposed persons
and lecherous loaferS, who have heretofore
so much infested its shades and walks
You have made the old road, which was
opposite the Hammond house and that
portion of the park which. you have en-
closed as a deer park, a place where the
public can resort to with children without
being subject to the indecent treatment
and insulting conduct which formerly was
prevalent there.
The deer which have been placed therein
by Capt. Winslow S. Lincoln. with your
concurrence and accommodation. and
which are so much visited, are appreciated
by those who love these creatures Of
beauty, and are also living joy to all
who now visit the park and are attracted
by their appearance there.
We hope that you may be sustained by
your associates in the work which you
have so well begun, and that the purpose
of your predecessor in office to rid the
park of the Objectionable characters that
annoyed him so much may be realized
and sustained, and that the real beauty of
Elm Park will not be sacrificed to any
sentimental treatment which subverts the
ciate what the park now is and was in
tended to be by its founders and friends.

A miner near him took out a good
