ENTER71 INN ENTS


At the Hyperion on Wednesday and
Thursday. May 80 and 81, with Decora-
ton day matinee, will be given the
first presentation in this city of a re-
production of the great Jeffries VS. Cor
bett fistic encounter, or glove fight
which took place at the Seaside Athletic
club, Coney Island, New York city, on
Friday evening, May II, with Charlie
White acting is referee This fight will
go down in the worlds history as the
greatest fight of the twentieth century.
Corbett was considered by every one to
be a back numher-in fact, fighter of
the past, and bets of 500 to $3e were
frequently made that Corbett would not
last five to ten rounds but Corbett's
wonderful generaship, his side stepping
and with HID right and left jabs, his
elastic quickness in action, allowed him
to stand off Jeffries, the wonder of the
fistic world, until the twenty-third
round Jeffries, who had a chance
blow, knocked Corbett completely out in
the fatal twenty round was
awarded the decision by Referee Charles
White. We would here state that up to
the fatal knockout everything was in
favor of Corbett and had the fight gone
the limit, twenty-five rounds, and Cor
bett being upon his feet, the decision
would have certainly been awarded to
Corbett without doubt The fight will
be reproduced in full detail and COM
pleteness at the Hyperion. For this oc-
casion popular prices will prevail TWEEN
ty-five cents to all parts Of the house.

About 2:30 yesterday afternoon officer

discovered a fire in the hemlocl1 grove

avenue and Edgewood avenue. Calling
to his aid all of the visitors within
sound of his voice. he and they tried
unsuccessfully to extinguish the blaze,
which had got under Roadway and
which, by the help of the wind, were
spreading rapidly. He then mounted
his horse and galloped to No. 9's engine
house. The fire company responded
with the chemical, which, rushing
through Edgewood avenue frightened a
horse attached to a light carriage con-
tanning two ladies.
The frantic animal stood on his hind
feet and made a mad effort to run
away, when the officer on his horse gall
Hoped alongside, caught him by the Bit
and did not release his hold until the
frightened horse quoted down. Per-
sons on the avenue who saw the officer
stop the runaway, said 1t was a brave
act dexterously performed.
1t took the firemen nearly an hour to
extinguish the fire. No water could be
obtained and had it not been for the
chemical the city would have lost the
large grove of evergreen trees that shell

A SHORT DIALOGUE.
An East Haven Political Note.

An East Haven Political Note.
The following interesting dialogue re-
Gently occurred between two prominent
citizens of the Fifteenth ward:
MI H.-A very honorable and pleas
ant duty Is assigned to me to perform,
namely: to orally acquaint you, Mr.. b.,
with The fact that you We're appointed
delegate at large to the democratic town
convention to be held on Friday even
ing, May %, 1900. Owing to undue and
unnecessary haste on the part of the
chairman of the town political organjza-
ton there was not time to give you a
formal and written notice. This is to be
regretted. AT the meeting of the con-
vention you will have to take one of the
back seats near the outside door, where
you can see the inside procession so by;
or you can stand in one corner of the
hall If you will be orderly and quiet
You will have no voice in the proceed
ings unless remote contingency arises.
Mr.. B.-For your very kind and gra-
ctous words, Mr.. H., you are entitled
to thanks ORDINARILY 1t is indeed an
honor, and a high privilege to hold even
a subordinate position in the democratic
party. 1t is not my purpose to be ego
tistical, but having arrived to years
of discretion and understanding" and
having acted as presiding officer Of
many assemblies your democratic
friend will not play second or third
fiddle" on the present occasion. Democ
racy stands for equal rights, not for
classes. There is hardly an exception
to this rule. Alternates and substitutes
when admitted to a democratic conven-
ton should always have the same rights
and responsibilities as principals If
they are not wanted they should be
kept outside of the meeting. There Is
another serious phase to this subject.
If the minority continue to insist on
ruling the majority as in 1896 there will
be no use for democrats to hold conven-
tions, nominate candidates and CON
struct platform. Also, 1t will
be altogether useless to vote on
the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November next if
fractional strife continues. The Water
bury convention will do well to take
heed of this on the seventh day of
June. *a

A MIRAGE ON THE SOUND.
Watched With Much Interest by
Crowds at the Shore Yesterday

Watched With Much Interest by
Crowds at the Shore Yesterday.
A fine mirage was visible yesterday
over the sound just south of New Ha-
ven. The phenomenon is an unusual
one in this section, and was watched
with much interest by crowds at the
water front and at the East shore From
Tomlinson bridge the mirage appeared
to be just over the lighthouse, and
showed the sand hills of Long Island
with two schooners all inverted. The
scene appeared wonderfully clear and
distinct in the sky. Thomas Butler,
proprietor of the Lighthouse Point ho-
tel said last night that he frequently
noticed a reflection of Long Island in
the sky, but that he never saw there a
genuine mirage such as are seen in the
west. He said that last night five lights
were visible from the point, and that
he considered it sure sign of a storm
to-day.
