THE ARMY CANTEEN
AND ARMY MORALS.
A Striking Example of the Poor Policy
that Prompted the Abolition of the
Post Exchanges.

After all the fuss that has been made
about the army canteen it is a question
whether it will prove a success from a
moral standpoint.
,Iere was a lively time at FIT. Bliss
Sunday night when a half score of the
negro soldiers returned to the post af-
ter a night in the city. They were all
drunk and made things lively abort
the post.
Major Loughborough. the commander
of the post. when asked what he
thought of the canteen law said:
rs it 4 good thing? 1 will ave that
to you. When the canteen was allow
ed the men would go there and take a
few drinks of beer and spend the rest
of ,heir time around camp. Now when
they are off duty they will go to town
or anywhere they al get liquor and
get enough in one day or night Il last
them for a month. Beer cost the SOL
diers very little money under the old
canteen plan but now that they cannot
get their drinks at the post they are in
clined to wander OFF and get into mis-
chief"
Another thing the major mentioned
was the fact that outsiders are always
ready to cater to- the wants of the SOL
diers where they have no canteen. He
states that since the canteen at Fort
Bliss closed the saloon this side of the
fort has been opened and he has a great
deal of trouble in keeping the men
away from the resort
Similar reports come from other pla-
ces where canteens have been closed
and il is said that army officers gener-
ally claim hat the abolition of the
canteen will be in every way a or

AMONG THE HORSES.

Reports show that from July 1. 1899. to July l, 1900, there were exported from this country G4,709 horses. Of course. the war in South Africa had q favorable influence on our trade with foreign lands.
 J. Malcolm Forbes has decided to campaign Peter the Great, 2:07A again this season. It should be good news, for the son of Pilot Medium was famously "good' during 1899, and had he not met with series of annoying mishaps last year there is no telling where he would have landed.
 It is announced that Providence will open the new century with a series of big stake events-two of $1O,O0O each being for the 2:14 class, trotting. and stakes are listed, for the following classes, probably: 2:14 and 2:25 class es. pacing; 2:20 and 2:3O classes trot- ting, and a class yet to be agreed upon, will be selected for the remaining S2,- GOO.
 The Trotting club of Milan, Italy. has renewed the grand internationa prize of 5000. open to foals of 1900, to be decided in 1903. It is hoped that breeders on this side of the broad At lantic will patrOnize this important event this season. By so doing a fla vorable market might be created for our youngsters. Fast record perform CTS that are sound sell well q J.tion here to the foreigners at all times.
 It is said that Hal B., 2:O4A. the good class pacer of the circuit of 1899. is good again. He was troubled with contracted feet last season, and wisely let up and treated by expert farriers for the infirmity. w. L. Snow. the man who raced him so well, will sit behind him again this season. He has been successful with the family, hay ing Fanny Dillard. 2:0GA, to his credit among others. Their sire, Hal Dil- lard. 2:04s4. was about the best dis postioned racing stallion ever down the line.
 Boston is still inclined to open still another $2O,0OO stake, and it may be for the big but select free fer all class, not barring The Abbot. Why bar the Abbot? He would draw well on the gate because of his championship: then, too, there has always been q question as to how he would class i'll q three in five with Cresceus, with each at his best. Mir Scannell would probably enter the horse as S1O.OOO first money isn't to be sneeZed 1t after one invests $2G,5o0 ill trotter. It has been stated. by the way, that the Abbot stepped the covered track at Jewettyille not long since in fiat 2:1O. Wonder if this is not about the best ''in- door, record or workout? They say he's as fine as Stradivarius yio- lin that is keyed up for master hand to manipulate.

BASE BALL.

When he learned officially that the American association had been off cially launched Ban Johnson, presi- dent of the American league, said: This move will hurt the National league more than it will us. It shows the animuS of the magnateS, who want to monopolize the sport Will somebody explain why the magnates refused to let the American league To- cate in Philadelphia and Boston, yet granted the privilege to the associa- tion. We are going right ahead with our plans, for we realize that the Association circuit is so fiimsy that it will never play a game Of ball as at present constituted. The western end of it is ridiculously weak, while the attempt of w. H. Clark to start in Baltimore in opposition to McGraw and Robinson is absurd The Ameri- can league will holf . meeting at Chi cago on January 2a when the details of our plans will be promulgated and the public will see that we mean busi- ness"
 At Indianapolis yesterday John T. Brush was visited by w. H. Watkins, president of the American asociation A. H. Koch of Milwaukee, who has been asked to sink money in a club at Detroit in opposition to the Ameri- Nelh 1CdSuC SAuD ol lHdl city aIu bdE- ney Dreyfuss and Harry Pullman of the Pittsburg club, who are fighting for their rights with the holders of the majority of stock, Kerr and Auten. Just what Brush handed to these gen. tlemen could not be learned, but it is rumored that he rendered his moral support.
 Virgil Garyin, the pitcher, traded by Chicago to New York, was arrested in the Windy City last week, charged with assault. The complainant was Matt Daley, also a ball player. who alleged that in q quarrel Garyin slash ed him in the face with a knife. Gar yin was held for trial on January 26.
 Frank Chance. the promising young catcher, who was slated to do the ma jority of the backstop work for the Chicago team this season, is in a bad way. While playing at Los Angeles he was hit behind the ear with a pitch ed ball and was out for some time. It was reported at the time that he was seriously injured, and that he. would lose the hearing in the injured ear Subsequently this was all denied, and it was stated that Chance was all right, and would be with the Chicago team next season. Of late symptoms have appeared in Chances case that have led the medical experts to be- lieve that there is a clot of blood press ing on his brain. They advise ser iouS operation. which, if performed, will deprive Hart's team of his ser vices for 1901.

games in Connecticut this week. Next week it will come bodily into the Southeastern league, to form an eight club circuit. The new; league consists of Clinton, Brockton, salem, Lawrence, Plymouth, East Weymouth, Fall Riv- CT and Pawtucket. The meeting se- Iected J. H. Coughlin, who owns the Clinton franchise, for it's presiding officer. s. F. Upton of Plymouth was secretary. The following action re- garding consolidation was taken: The New Haven team will go to East Ney- mouth and the Waterbury team to Sa- lem. Applications for franchises were received from Fall River and Pawtuck- ct. The Hartford team of the Nation al league was assigned to Fall River and the New Britain team to Pawtuck- ct. making an eight-club league. The new league will begin Monday. The next meeting of the Southeastern league will be held at Gould's hotel, Boston, Thursday evening. East Wey- mouth and Salem will lay off this week and begin next week with new teams-Brockton Times.

KNOCKOUTS IN THOMPSONvILLE

hNOChOUIS IN I11OMPSON WILLIE
 Thompsonyille, Jan '22.-There were three boxing bouts at Haydens hall last night. The first was between Jack Welch of New York city and Jack Malone of Rochester. This was to be for six rounds. Malone's guard was very weak and Welch seemed to hit him about as he pleased. Malone was knocked out in the fifth round. The second bout was between Kid Me Graw of Springfield and Harry John son of Troy, \. '. This was also for six rounds. At first Johnson forced the fighting, but near the end of the second round Johnson was forced against the ropes, the corner post gave way and he fell off the stage, scraping his right leg. He got on the stage as the gong sounded. The third round opened with both men more cautious. In one of Johnson's rushes he was hit on the chin by McGraw and lifted off his feet. He fell, striking heavily. was unable to rise and the fight was awarded to McGraw. The third bout was a six-round exhibition in sparring between Billy Malone of Springfield and Mike Murphy of Westfield. 1t was declared q draw. The referee was Thomas Fhhey of liartford: timekeep- CT. David Hoar of Springfield; man. ager. Thomas Manning of Springtield attendance, l5O.

Polo still lives.

Polo still lives.
 Johnny Griffin is not going to Mas sachusetts but will look after his business in this city and retire from the polo field for the season.
 Hartford laid claim to the cham pienship all too soon and as a conse- quence it will be hardly possible for her to win out this week. With great, good luck she may do it, however.
 Salem. Pawtucket. East Weymouth and Fall River will show some of the other teams up in that league what fast polo is and either one of those ming the pennant.
 It is stated that the only thing that kept the National and Southeastern leagues from consolidating at the meeting last Friday was the holding out of the Waterburys.-Pawt Times.
 Waterbury has q chance to win the championship yet before this league goes under She plays New Haven tonight and tomorrow night New Ha- ven comes here. By winning both of these games Waterbury will be in position to talk to New Britain Friday night.
 What sort of a game has Manager Parsons been playing up in Massachu- setts, any way? It looks very much as though he was getting ready to de- liver the goods up in the Bay state and let Connecticut hustle for herself. There are many lessons than can be learned from the present condition of affairs in this league.
 This is the last week of polo in this city for this season at least and the fans who have been so loyal to the representatives of polo in Waterbury should come out in strong numbers and prove to the MasSa chusetts league that she made a mistake in not keep ing Waterbury and Hartford in this league. Waterbury has q chance to win the pennant and if the rooters will come out tomorrow night and Friday night both those games may be ours. All the players should be given a good send-ot1 at any rate and send them away from Waterbury feel ing that they have been well treated by both the management and the peo- pie. All the players have been the best and most gentlemanly fellows that have ever -donned Waterbury uniforms and they have been in per feet harmony with IheIr managers and now is the chance for the people to give the management also q good send off and show their appreciation of their efforts to bring good polo to Waterbury.
 Representatives of the Massachu- setts and National polo leagues met in Ehe Clinton house yesterday afternoon. At the conclusion of the meeting the presumably lesser body had absorbed tie greater, and the National league will close out its business with few
