CITY LEAGUE MEETING.
Another Interesting Meeting Held

i<uSL -NlSlb.
 The City league managers held d meeting last night and discussed plans for the carrying out of the schedule TOT this year with every attention paid to the protection of the specta- tors and obedience to the rules, Ev- cry manager was emphatic in his de- termination to see that the umpires are respected and that none of their decisions is disputed unless by the captain of the team Refractory players will also be removed from the game by the umpires and no game will be allowed to go on where the spectators crowd over the lines or where there is too much shouting An umpire who does not enforce these rules will be asked to step down and out. The games must be free from rowdyism of all kinds and must be played just the same as i'll regular leagues.
 A protest was entered against the playing of T. Lawlor on the Washing ton Hill team, on the. ground that he was not here thirty days before the season opened. It was clearly prov en that Lawlor was here within the time limit and the protest was with drawn. There was no protest made of the game played at Wateryille last Sunday as the managers got together and fixed matters up.
 1t was decided that the Washington Hill team. which won the champions ship last year, should be the first team to compete against the visiting team on Saturday, June T In all probability the team to oppose them will be the strong Dublins of Meriden. Washington Hill will put it's strong est team in the field on that day. Riverside park will be fixed up this week as a couple of teams and five or six workmen will be engaged to straighten out the diamond and fix up any other part of the field that needs repairs.

SUPERIOR COURT
Temporarily Removed to New Haven
 for Convenience of Plant Witnesses

Temporarily Removed to New Haven
 for Convenience of Plant Witnesses.
 The business of the superior court was temporarily transferred to New Haven to-day for the convenience of the greater number of those interested in the $17,00O.oO0 suit brought against the estate of the late Henry 5. Plant. Judge Robinson having granted the in junction restraining the heirs and trus- tees and executors from interfering with the estate in any way because or an impression that to touch it in it's present state might result i'll damage to it, he will give hearing to all interest ed ill the injunction in New Haven to- day. Colonel Burpee represents the brothers, Horace G. and Charles E. Hoadley of Highland park. These are the next of kin barring the son Henry and his son Morton. The first is an old man and the latter is a sickly child of 6 or years. The point in issue in the contention which was heard to- day was to keep the estate in this state; to prevent the executors or heirs from taking any part of it to any other state for distribution, for in case it ever did leave the state 1t is sur missed such happening would be de- cidedly injurious to the Hoadley broth CTS interests.
 The hearing on the case of Robert h Brown ct al against the city, an ap- peal from an assessment for benefits, has been adjourned to June 10. Judge Robinson will resume court here next Monday at 9:3O o'clock to hear the suit of Brennan vs the Berlin Iron Bridge Go. which has been spe- cially set down for that day. Follow ing that case comes the contested di- yorce petition of Lotties H. Platt Stephens against Louis IT. Stephens. This will take the May term of the court to the threshold of the June term, for which short calendar and assign ment of cases will be held next Fri day.

Drainage Of Public Roads.

Under the above heading each week
Will be included in this paper some prac-
tical information for our road super
visors and overseers and for our farm
ers and others who are interested in bet
tering the condition of the roadWays ii
the counties of North Carolina. From Z,
recent publication of the L. S. Office
of Road Inquiries we take the following:
Surface Drainage.-The wearing sur
face of a road must be in effect a roof;
that is the section in the middle should
be the highest part and the travelled
roadway should be made as imperVlous
to water as possible, so that it will flow
freely and quickly into the cutters or
bitches alongside. The best shape for
the cross section of road has been
found to be either a fiat ellipse or one
made up of two plane surfaces sloping
uniformly from the middle to the sides
and ioined in the center by small, cir
cular curve Either of these sections
NAV be used, provided it is not too flat
in the middle for good drainage or too
steep at the cutters for safety The
Steepness of the slope from the center
to the sides should depend upon the
nature of the surface, being greater or
less according to it's roughness or
smoothness This slope ought to be
greatest on earth roads, perhaps as
much in some cases as one foot IN
twenty feet after the surface has been
thoroughly rolled or compacted by traf-
fic. This varies from about / to ~ TO

in so on the various classes of pave
ments and for asphalt sometimes as low
