CHANGES ARE MADE

In Football Rules for the Coming
 Season.
 The football rules for 1900, which will shortly be issued from the press, will contain important revisions. The final drafting of new rules passed through the hands of Walter Camp after coming from the revision committee. Four rad ical changes were made, which it is ex- pected will prevent weak teams from gaining time against their superiors.
 The first relates to the exchange of the possession of the ball in case of foul. Formerly the side which had the ball lost possession of the ball in case of a side play. This was decided as too severe a penalty for an offense often slight and sometimes unavoidable, and which always depended on the umpire seeing the man was off-side. The rule was therefore changed to read:
 Either side making an off-side play suffers as penalty loss of ten yards, the ball remaining in possession of the side having it before the foul was made.
 In case the team having the ball is within ten yards of their opponents goal line, and at that point the team on the defensive commits side play, the penalty is halved, and the team mak- ing the foul is only penalized five yards

THE CIRCUIT MEETING

At Charter Oak Payk Next Month.
 Hartford, Aug. 22.-The grand cir cult meeting at Charter Oak park will open September B. and continue throughout the entire week. | After the close of the 1899 meeting the | track record stod at two minutes flat made by Star Pointer A. J. Welch realized then that Charter Oak was fast but not the fastest track in the coun- try To put the speeding course in the condition necessary to life its quality above the level of all others 100 men and horses were set to work to put life into the old race track.
 At the grand circuit meeting the speed of this new track will be demonstrated. Throughout the entire circuit, from De- troit to Readville, where the horses are now racing, there have been many sen- sational miles. The average of speed has been a fraction greater than that shown at the same period in former years. When the Hartford meeting opens revelations in track speed will be developed, as undoubtedly there isn't in America a faster or safer track than Charter Oak.
 The racing begins on Labor Day and the $10,000 stake will be the great at traction. Some of the fastest horses in the country will trot.

Cooper and started to make life miser- able for every one in the vicinity. Such din they did set up, employing every thing in the shape of tin pans, horns, etc, in the village. But hardly had the concert opened when young Cooper raised a window and fired three shots from a pistol The serenaders did not know whether or not the pistol was pointed at them, neither did they wait to investigate They beat rapid and disorderly retreat and did not even return for their musical instru- ments, which they dropped in their fight.-Winsted Citizen.

 the opening performance of Charles E.
 Blaney's great scenic production, Across the Pacific at the Park City theater last evening. The play is new one, and it certainly was a drawing card, and throughout the entire action the audiences was held in the closest at tention. MT Blaney has spared no eff forts to make this play one of the best to be seen on the road at popular prices, and to say he had been successful would be putting it mildly. The scenery used is all new, and the one in act III, where the transport City of Pekin' sails for Manila, With her load of human freight, is one of the most realistic and exciting climaxes ever seen on the stage. The last seen of the last act, where thes is in blockhouse No. [, and is fighting his best to save the blockhouse from being taken by the Filipinos, is also of a nature. The two different scenes of Chinatown in San Francisco were we'll staged. The theme of the play deals with the love of a young miner In Montana and that of his rival, q slick-looking bunco man of Kentucky, and carries one from the scenes of the mines and bluegrass to the Philippine Islands where in the last act the hero kills the villain in duel in blockhouse No. 7.
