Several of the members of Compa-
ny T. are highly indignant at the
spirit shown by many of their COM
rades over the attempted project of
getting up a foot ball team. 1t is
understood now that there will be no
team this fall, notwithstanding the
excellent material which the company
possesses for such an organization.
1t was long time ago that alder
man Kingston wisely suggested the
necessity of more public protection
and especially the need Of one more
regular officer to patrol that portion
of the city known as "Ireland". The

needle in the hayStack is a perfect
cinch beside the catching of an Ital-
ian when he has three minute start
among his people.

pose. The street committee saw the
Harrison Granite Co. today, through
#. B. Mudgett, the manager, and OBJ
tanned permission to run teams through
the end of their shed until such time
as the new bridge is finished. The ola
bridge will be taken down and placed
at Berlin street, as it was not suffic
emily strong for the heavy traffic at
Blackwell street. A foot bridge will
be placed there to accommodate work
men, but all teams will have to 60 to
that district via River street.
