ILL-NATURED ANGELFIsH.
Life Made Uncomfortable for One OF
Their Number Mt the Aquarium.


From the New York Sun.
At the aquarium recently when one Of
the angelnsh was ailing, 1t was placed in
a reserve tank, where It was kept and
booked after until 1t was well enough 10
go back into the display tank again.
Beautiful as they are, il might not be
thought that angelish could descend TO
nagging and worrying, but as a matter
Of fact, they are like other fishes in this
respect; they may chase and hustle and
bite at a fish they don't like, and that's
what they did to the Convalescent fisn
when il was put back into the tank with
them. They worried it so much that IL
was necessary finally to take it out of the
tank again.
Before it was taken out one of the an
gel1sh did something that seemed very Gu
rious. The sick fish. all beautiful in its
brilliant yellow and blue coat, had sWum
down 10 the intake opening, where the
water flows in, and stayed there; a COM
mon thing for fishes TO do because they
like the new, living water; but at this
time the sick fish was the only one that
stayed there. ard it remained with its head
close up to the wall. The rest of the
fishes were a. this time all sailing around
in the tank and this solitary fish, stand
ing there by the intake all alone, looked
for all the world like a boy standing with
his forehead on his arm held up at the
level of his head and resting against the
side of barn while the other boys play
ed.
The other fishes were making the circuit
of the tank, across the bottom toward the
intake, and up and over across on top,
and down and across the bottom again.
passing every time near the angelfsh with
its face to the wall; paying no attention
to it. doing nothing to 1t, and very likely
not thinking about It at all. Presently
one of them swan up against the sick
fish and rested its body against 1t. and
deliberately crowded it three or four times,
precisely as one boy would crowd another
OF course, it may be that it never thought
of such thing as annoying the fish, that
it simply wanted TO crowd this other fish
out OF the way 10 get at the intake itself
but that's the way ii looked. The fish
with its face to the wall never moved; 1t
just stood there and didn't bulge. Then
the other fish pushed him again the same
as before, but with the same result, and
then it swan away and left the sick fish
alone.

idle laborers she can find and put them

fifty men for Wyoming. Most OF the men
were negroes. Several of them had the
appearance of typical hoboes. Mrs At

hand When she sees one who suits her
taste she approaches him without hesi-
tation and asks him how he would like

Yernier taking first position and lead ing at the first mile. Vernier held close to his pace teams and led at the second and third miles, being then a lap ahead of Taylore. This position was maintained until after the tenth mile, Vernier crossing first at each mile. While on the back stretch of the first lap of the eleventh mile a quad pacing Vernier made bad spill upset ting Vernier. This gave Taylore biz advantage and he closed up the gap between him and Vernier. The Phila- delphia rider got himself together and went after Taylore, but was unable to catch him, the Frenchman steadily in- creasing his lead until he crossed the finish line one and one-half laps ahead of the local rider. Taylore's time was 37:13.

COUPON.

Eyck, the Harlem champion, had as his opponents Juvenal of the Pennsylvania Barge club, Philadelphia, and Mackey of the Nassau Boat club of New York. These men are not in the champions class, although Iuvenal was expected to give him a better race. The three men kept together for dozen strokes when Mackey fell behind. Juvenal stayed with Ten Eyck for about a quarter and then the champion in- creased his speed with such effect that at the half he led Juvenal by at least ten lengths. After that it was simply a procession.
 The intermediate single shell race was won by Vought, Atalanta, N. Y., by half length. Dempsey of Philadel- phAa, his principal opponent, did not give him as hard a race as was ex- pected.
 The Pennsylvania Barge club won the senior four -oared shell race ham, dily.
 The intermediate four-oared gig con- test was won easily by the Vespers of Philadelphia. In the fight for second place between the Lone Star and Non pareil crews, the last named won by three feet.
 The junior single shell was won by Babcock, First Bohemian, New York, greatly to the surprise of talenc, as Crawford and Hilbers were the favor ties. V.
 In the junior%eght -oared shell the start was an excellent one, with the Weld boat slightly in the lead, which it maintained until the eighth with the New York Athletic club and Columbia on even terms. The last named crews began to get up, however, and the crews were ranged pretty evenly for the rest of the way except at the last quarter when the Athletic men fell be- hind The Weld crew finally won from Columbia by a quarter of a length.
 In the senior doubles the Harlem Rowing clubs men did not start, and the Pennsylvania Barge club had a walk-over.
 Captain vought of the Atalanta Boat club carried off the honors of the day, as he won two races, the intermediate single and the intermediate double with O'Connell as his partner The Harlem Rowing clubs double gave them good race, however, the winner finishing but one length ahead.

NO DANGER FROM MINES.

Five Hundred New Haveners Yester-
 day Enjoyed a Delightful Trip on the
 Northam and Peck
 The excursion to New York from this city on the steamer c. H. Northam of the New Haven Steamboat line was en- joyed by about five hundred New Ha- veners. The boat left her pier at Belle dock in this city at 1O:S0 yesterday morning and the trip was pronounced by those who enjoyed it one of the most pleasurable taken in some time. The excursionists returned from New York on the queen of the sound, the steamer Richard Peck, which reached Belle dock at S:30 last evening.
 Much needless apprehension has been felt recently by New Haven people about taking the trip to New York by steamer. This apprehensive feeling has been caused by the fact that mines have been placed at the western end of the sound between Fort Schuyler and Willow Point. Some people have even thought that the New Haven line boats had been stopped running because of these mines, but this is not so. It is true that mines have been placed in the channel between the two forts mentioned above, but there is a chan nel wide enough for seven or eight boats to steam through side by side a, channel in which there are no mines at all, and this channel is distinctly marked out by buoys placed there pur- posely to show plainly the channel out of the belt of danger.
 Because of the fact that it was feared that boats passing in the night out of New York harbor might foul the mines the government has ordered that no boats shall pass through the channel out of New York before 4 o'clock in the morning. The schedule of the New Haven line boats has therefore been arranged to conform with this regula- tion, and they now leave New York at PAS a. m. Leaving at that time, the boats reach the forts by the time it is breaking day and come on through with no delay, reaching New Haven at 8 o'clock in the morning. There is ab- solutely no danger to be feared by friendly steamers from the mines, as these mines are not contact mines and can only be fired from an electric cur rent controlled from the forts.
 The passengers from New York, un- derstanding the real state Of affairs, have not been affected by this appre- hension of danger, but New Haven peo- pie have in some way become imbued with groundless fear that the passage by steamer was not safe. Last Sunday about four hundred passengers went down on the Peck and undoubtedly as people begin to realize that the trip is as delightful as ever and unattended with a bit of danger from the mines they will begin to avail themselves of the opportunity to take this pleasant est of the possible short excursion trips out of New Haven.
