The board of burgesses will hold its

Inc Lakeside club house on Oak street.
near the south end of the lake. In the
minds Of some who are Interested in
eote!ils proper location, but are not
lie committee, the most desirable
spol, taxing into consideration the ne
eessity OF getting near a water supply
anu also Where a spur track from the
iairoad can be available, is on the cor
aer OF washington and Silk streets. The
water can be easily pumped from the
iahe py laying pipe to the foot of Silk
street, only short distance. where in
Inc old raceway can always be found
piehty or water, even when the water
IN the lake is low in dry weather. A
spur track from the rubber shop could
easily be extended to the plant at a.
small cost There are many advantages
IN thls location that cannot be found at
any other location.

present facilities, the item of cost Is
considerable one. 1t has been estimat-
ed, and I think reasonably, that the
cost of removing the snow that has
been put on the green this winter
would have been at least five or six
thousand dollars more if it had been
taken to the harbor front. 1t would
seem as if the enormous outlay each
winter of all our northern cities would
stimulate inventors to devise means to
secure some of this great outlay, and
incidentally to remove the snow.
Concerning charities and corrections
the report contains among other mat
ter the following: mo human being,
whether worthy or not, is allowed to
suffer from hunger or cold With the
knowledge of the officials of our chart
ties department. On the other hand
every care has been taken to detect
fraud and eliminate from the list of
beneficiaries all who are able to care
for themselves, or have relatives legal
ly bound to care for them. Many cases
of temporary need come to the atten
ton of the officials, which can be and
are kept from going on the records as
paupers by assistance from some of the
many quiet transformations charity or
CARNATIONS which do so much good
work in our city. 1 am of the opinion
that by continued vigilance in investi-
cations, and cooperation with the
many good people who have time, mon
ey and inclination to help those less
fortunate than themselves, the expendi-
ture on the outside poor account can
be kept down to the record of 1898
without doing injustice to any human
creature. The report states that the
cost for outside poor was SITES, for
the year ending December T. 1888, to
December 81, 1898 In 1894 it was $22,-
0OS; in 1895, $7,773; in 1896, $14,7S1.

THE DISAPPEARING WOODCOCK

Knowing well the great interest your
paper has shown in matters pertaining
to the preservation, increase or decrease
of our game birds, | desire to direct the
attention of yourself and readers to the
greatly diminished number of woodcock
found this season in the Niagara penin-
sula of Ontario, before and during their
fall fight
In covers which for years have yield
ed fair bags not more than a bird or
two We're found. I have wondered if
this has been the experience of sports
men in the adjoining portions of the
United States, especially in those por-
tions directly south of us, and in line
of fight. If this has been the case it
would be interesting, then, to find out if
this has been the experience in Quebec,
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the
portions of the United States adjoining.
If this scarcity has been local we may
believe that some temporary cause has
diminished the number; but If common
from the seaboard- to the western limit
of the Great Lakes, we may fear that
the belief of many cock shooters that
this is bird of the past is but too well
founded.
Thirtyfve years ago men [ have
shot with here used to kill between two
hundred and three hundred cocks each
season; last year my bag in this neigh
borhood was eight, and have been told
that / was the only person fortunate
enough to secure one. l know full well
that in the older settlements the breed
ing grounds are being continually cut
down, but surely others to compensate
in some degree are brought in by the
opening up of new farming territory
I fear the cause lies in over-sllooting.
in Ontario the cocks are well protected,
as the open season does not begin till
September Is, when the birds are moult-
ing and scattered and most of them
have left by November l. but in the
states they are or have been shot from
July to May ten months out of the
twelve. Ontario early stopped spring
shooting, and during the last thirty
years, has time and again shortened
the season, and I feel sure we would
agree to stop all cock-shooting for

THE HORSE GUARD.
Important Meeting at the Armory Last
Night.

Important Meeting at the Armory Last
Night
The regular weekly meeting of the
Second Company, Governors Horse
Guard, held in the company room at
the armory last night was one of I'M
usual Importance. The proposition to
surrender the charter of the company
and have the organization become a
company in the national guard of the
state has been conducive of considerable
feeling among the members of the COM
pany and at last nights meeting they
did not hesitate to express themselves
on the subject, AS is well known, there
is a bill now before the legislature Of
the state asking that the company be
made one of the national guard. The
opposition to the proposed change has
not been very strong. but it is claimed
that it has been strong enough to create
what might be called factions in the
company.
Applications for membership were re-
ceived from Frank Brocar and Walter
Rathbun. An invitation to attend di-
vine service at the Summarized church
next Sunday night was accepted and
the company will march to the church.
1t was voted to invite the lady friends
of the members to witness the drill next
Monday night After the drill it is pro-
posed to have an informal reception in
the company room, during which there
will be numerous selections by poly
photograph and vocal selections by
members of the company, One feature
of the evening will be a selection on
the bugle played into the photograph
and reproduced Immediately. Refresh
ments will also be served and general
good time had.

Waterbury Tigers Will Make Their
Final Appearance at Bowling Hall
Tonight.
The polo season is fast approaching
the end, only four more games, includ-
ing to-night's, are to be played in this
city in connection with the league series.
Captain Roberts and his striped family
from the Brass City will make their
final appearance for the season at Bowl
ing hall tonight. The Waterbury, New
Haven contests have always been close
and exciting and it is safe to say that
to-night's game will be no exception. as
the Tigers are fighting hard to capture,
If possible, second place.

her face glowing with pleasure
