 There was a warm basketball game at the B. A. c. rooms last night the contestants being the Knock aDouts and the North End A. 0. The former won by the score of 15-13. The game was fast and very interest ing as the score indicates. Each team has now one game to it's credit. is probable that another game will pc arranged between them.

Dwy- CT, do a little work on the mat at the Brooklyn Athletic clubs rooms last nlght Michael Madden and "Dan- ny McCarthy took turns on the mat with Gehle. The latter showed up i very well.

 --rhe meat and grocery store of the ] Prisavage brothers at 70S Bank street was entered this morning by burglars l Who carried away with them about $3O ID cold cash and box of canned l goods. The robbery was committed ln the early hours of the morning. Entrance was effected through the cellar door. After the burglars had reached the cellar their passage was blocked by door which was locked on the inside. A hole was cut iii the door wide enough for a person to put his hand through and tue staple was then pulled out by some iron in- strument. The door was then opened ana the burglars went in and pocket- ed the $50. Officer 5ohn Brickel in making his rounds saw that the store had been entered and notified the owners.
 arles Stigberg, Anthony Car
 mas Cronan, David Cronan Perigard, four young men Ill ection of the city, are not very t3nd of cutting ice, especially when they do not see any money in sight for doing it. They had thrde days experience of it at an Oakville pond and it looked as if they would have two more days of it, but Dame Rumor is such trouble maker The young men heard that they might have to whistle for their pay when . pay day came, so they determined to quit work at once. They informed , the Waterbury man who has the con tract for cutting the ice of their pur- pose and demanded their pay fol , their three days work. The con .al tractor protested against their sud. | den departure, saying that 1t would leave him in bad fix. But the l young men were determined. The contractor then stated that he would pay them on Saturday. The ice cut ters can see their pay arriving al
 ready.

It From the First.
Following closely upon the recent sale
of the Williams street railway and cleo
trio properties in Richmond to the Pas
senger and Power Company, the reports
of a. similar consolidation and merging of
rival interests around Hampton Roads
have been received with no little interest
in Richmond.
For some time the special dispatches
in The Times from Baltimore and Nor
folk gave exclusive information concern
ing the earlier steps taken by those rep
resenting these companies towards con-
solidation. These dispatches ELECTED Wig
orous denials from local parties in inter-
est. The Times correspondents contin-
ned however. to report the progress of
the negotiations looking to consolidation,
despite earnest denials. and the sequel,
coming within three or four weeks, at
tests the reliability of their sources of
information.

HAVANA. May 20-Thc Natal Day OF
the Republic Of Cuba found Havana ar
rayed like q queen to await the coming
Of her lord. She seemed re-invested for
the occasion with the dignity Of the pros
porous days of her power and wealth.
The decorations were universal. In some
cases men had worked all night by the
light of torches, to complete, elaborate
designs. There was not residence, pre-
tensions or humble, that did not bear
upon its quaint facade some emblem in
honor of The event.
Above every red-tiied roof rose q Gu
ban flag. The whole city seemed sud-
denly buried beneath a forest of wav-
ing banners. The decorations along the
water front were exceedingly lavish and
all the shipping in the harbor was
dressed in gala attire. The majority of
the ships flew the American ensign at
the main and the Cuban colors at the
fore or mizZen.
The weather in tho early morning was
delightful and the entire population, re-
inforced by thousands of visitors, was
abroad soon after daylight. All was AMI
ma ton and expectancy.
The actual transfer of. the control OF
the island was scheduled to occur exactly
at noon, Havana time which is l25O Z.
