sEroRE TIE BOARD.


Last Tuesday night at the regn-
lar meeting of the Board there were
several committee reports received
and considerable new business
transacted.
An important item was the re-
port of the committee appointed to
secure an estimate of the cost of
laying a water main from the main
pipe at the corner Of Exchange
street at John Adams residence to
the circle in East View Cemetery.
The report showed that a pipe Of
sufficient capacity to convey sup
ply OF water for all the residents
along the routes surveyed would be
$430.07. Two routes we're gwen
one leading out Exchange street to
G. T. Taylor's residence, and the
other towards the old City Gene
terry. This is to provide water for
the plants, flowers and shrubbery,
and also for a fountain to be erect
ed IN the new cemetery. The cost,
Of course, amounts to something,
but the benefits to be derived are
very significant. The report was
read by DR.. T. J. Edwards, giving
detailed statement of the routes
and estimates and cost of every
item, and ordered recorded, but no
action taken at this meeting.
T. B. Greer, as special commits
sioner, reported the conveyance to
the city Of a certain piece of land
forming the extension of Depot
street, running north from G. II.
Sheriff. & Co.'S. lumber yard to the
site Of the old Bransford furniture
factory. The land is in the Camp
bell division, and was conveyed by
Morgan g. Handy, Russell Gardner,
r. Garth and Mrs, Campbell, alter
satisfactory compromise. The
street has been opened and inn
proved.
Report was made concerning an
alley about 80 feet in width extend
ing from Main to Exchange streets,
between the lots of Tom Shoffner
and Mrs. Chambers. 1t was said to |
have been opened some years ago
by the late John Morgan A house
was recently built facing the alley,
There seems to be some question
about the location and size Of the
alley r. Polk, DR.. II. d. Edwards
and w. G. Reynolds were appointed
a committee to investigate the facts
in the case.

A dreamy air,

A murmured sigh,
A low reply,
A blush, SO far all's well, oh
A foolish jest,
A soft caress,
A promise and flower
A captured fan,
A prisoned hand
Thus man asserts his power,
The music starts,
The couple parts,
So ends passing pleasure

TO-NIGHT'S POLO GAME.

Waterbury and New Haven Will Play
Off at the Rink for First Place-Thc
Game Should be a Snappy One and
Worth Seeing.
A great polo game falls to take place
at the local rink tonight, when the eel
ebrated hustlers from Waterbury will
be here. The game has been changed
from Tuesday to Monday night this
week owing to the fact that both La
lions and Whipple appear as stars in
the Elks' minstrel entertainment at the
Hyperion tomorrow.
The Waterburys are about half a
game ahead of the Blues, who won a
hard fought game at Hartford on Sat
urday night, while Waterbury lost to
New Britain in fast game in the lat
ter city. Considering the splendid game
New Haven Is putting up, as well as
the waterbury team, who have been
playing phenomenal polo of late, the
contest tonight ought to be full Of snap
and worth seeing Should the Blues
win they will again be in first place.
1t is to be hoped that the lovers of the
sport will show some interest in to-
nights game and turn out in large
enough NUMBERS 10 Ill the illlh. "a
crowded house and lots of enthusiasm
from the fans go long way to help the
home team gain victory, while it slim
ulates the visitors to put up stronger
game than would naturally be the case
when the crowd was small and the en-
thusiasm dead. 1t would indeed be
pleasant change tonight for every one
to see an old-time polo crowd and wit
ness what is sure to be an old-time con-
test, one full Of snap and science, and
such will be the kind of game that will
be played tonight.

ton in their own rink Saturday night
and fully made up for Friday nights

DAMAGE BY THE ICE STORM.
Trees on the Green and in East Rock
Park Broken Down.

Trees on the Green and in East Rock
Park Broken Down.
The ice storm of Friday and Saturday
caused great damage to the trees in this
city. The trees were loaded down with
ice which clung to and covered the
branches to the depth of half an inch or
more. On the central green the limbs
of the trees were so heavily loaded with
icy coatings that the ends of the
branches bent down so that they touch
ed the heads of pedestrians passing
along the walks on the green
The heavy weight caused many
branches to break off, and in that por-
ton of the green between Center church
and Osborn hall corner two large trees
were nearly ruined by large branches,
six or eight inches in diameter, split
ting off. Hardly a tree on the green
but some small branches broke off.
On East Rock park the trees were
greatly damaged, and many We're bent
over, almost to touch the ground by the
great weight of ice, while others of
more brittle wood were broken down.
The birches and cedars seemed to stand
the strain best, and of these branches
We're bent nearly double. These trees
will probably straighten up after the
ice melts from their branches. thou
sand or more trees have, however, been
broken and greatly damaged. The ice
weight on trees seemed to be greatest
on the east side of the rock.
