There also was a 50-cent stand All these improvements were needed and the public appreciated them
 Favorites were beaten in four out of the six events. Interest centered in the running of the Bennings spring handicap, which was nothing more than an ordinary gallop for Father Bill Daly's colt Himself, the favorite.

Himself passed the all important line six lengths before Bastile. who was two lengths before the Hoyden.

Which Results in a Tie.
 Harvard and Yale graduates played tie game of hockey last night, the score being 3 to 3. The teams were evenly matched, and the play on both sides brisk and aggressive. T. Barron, for Harvard, played the most brilliant game. His stick handling was superb, and he made many splendid rushes. Smith in goal for Yale also played splendslly.

AMATEURS GETTING READY.
The City Baseball League Will Open
 Season With a Rush.

Season With a Rush.
 The board of managers of the City Amateur Baseball league held meet ing at the rooms of the St Joseph's T. A. society last night. Acting Presi- dent William McKennerney presided and every manager was present. The committee on grounds reported that games will be played at Riverside park, Rr0wn's n1end0ws and Waterville. 1t will be recalled that the league was proniDIleu lIom playing games at Browns meadows during the latter part of last season, owing to the loud and boisterous noise which the support CTS of different teams used to make. Games may be playe don these grounds 1 this season, if the spectators conduct themselves in a gentlemanly and order- ly manner. Iley must refrain from all unnecessary noises. The following were appointed umpires, Peter Fox, James Shields of Watertown. and MT kiely of Union City, just as the Demo crat intimated i'll q recent article. The above should make good umpires. { Kiely has been tried and has not been wanting. If Fox and Shields should l prove as good as Kiely, there should be little wrangling over the umpire's de- cision this season. One of the rules adopted at the meeting last night was to the effect that the umpire's decision should be final There should be no M~ l,eariF of managers from 1t. If an umpire makes unfair deci- s4o4ls, ..- -N- os.-4lo44 oI d manager, the only remedy is to have him removed His decision remains. This rule is in- tended to prevent the disgraceful wrangling of the managers over dis. puted decisions of the umpires at the meetings. This wrangling was rather bitter last year and divided the board into two factions. Acting president McKennerney was appointed to select what sort of prize the league shall play for this season. The Spalding bal will be used by the league and the teams will probably play under tht rules of the American league In re gard to the expenses of the league many persons think that the traction company should contribute q little money to the league. The compan! should at least furnish free transporta tion to the grounds to the ditferen players. Large crowds attend thes, games each Sunday and hundreds O those persons ride in the trolley. I would not hurt the company any t aid the league in a financial manner A contribution list will shortly be open ed by the league and then the publi' will be given an opportunity of show ing their appreciation of good baseball
 At the next meeting of the leagu
 the president of the board will b.
 elected, the schedule will be made ont the remainder of the rules will b
 adopted and the managers will subni their lists of players.

FIGHTS IND FIGHTERS.
Los Angeles Club Accepts Bob
 Fitzsimmons Proposition.

The Cornishman Was Wired to That
 Effect Last Night-Young Corbett
 And McGovern May Fight in Water
 bury-Jim Corbett Means Business
 And Will Challenge The Winner of
 The Big Bout-George Gardner Will
 Fight Tom Sharkey in London.
 Jim Corbett is to make another ef- fort to try to regain the heavyweight championship. which he lost to Bob Fitzsimmons, who in turn was defeat- ed by Jim Jeffries. Corbett had long talk with Manager Kennedy at the Victoria hotel, New York, yester- day, and the former champion eX- pressed himself as being confident or being able to defeat Jeffries or F1tz- simmons. While he gave due credit to Jeffries and Fitzsimmons for their victories over him, he says he made mistakes in both battles which result ed in his downfall.
 Corbett says he will close his the atrical enga cement in Washington on April 13 and at once will start for San Francisco to challenge the winner of the Jeffries-F Fitzsimmons fight, should these men meet in the ring. He will post q substantial forfeit to show that he is sincere in his efforts to get on q match. and he is willing to wager a good side bet.
 Manager Kennedy promised that he would use every effort to match Cor bett against Jeffries or FitZsimmons. Should he be successful in inducing either of these fighters to meet him the mill will be decided early in the fall.
 The proposed match. between Tom- my Ryan and Johnny German, Sam Fftzpatrfck's middleweight, has been formally clinched. Yesterday Dr Ord way received a set of articles from Ryan signed by the latter. The mill is to be held at the tistic carnival of the National Sporting club, London, next June The purse is S5,000. Cor man has not been boxing much lately, but has a good record He met Ryan a few years ago. Mir Lea, of the Eng fish club, is booked to sail for Eng land to-day. MT Gavin, who came to America with him few weeks ago, will remain here until the entire pro- gram for the clubs show is completed. This he expects will be done before the week is out Ordway said that George Gardiner of Lowell will in all probability be matched to meet Tom Sharkey in England in place of Peter Maher Although Gardiner is mid dleweight he says he is willing to take a chance against the ex-sailor.
 "Bill' Crowley has received letter from Young Corbett in which he states that he will be pleased to box McGov- ern under the auspices of the Nutmeg or some other club in which Crowley is interested Mir Crowley says he will try to arrange for the bout in some other city of the state, either in Water bury or New London. The bout vii take place some time in October.
 The Century A. c. of Los Angeles wired to Fitzsimmons last night that the club would accept his terms fol holding the big fight. The terms arc 75 per cent of the receipts, with { guarantee that the amount will bt S25,000. The club will require Fit, to post forfeit of $2,500.

bunch. and while lie says he was not looking for a position, 1t is was whls- pered very strongly that he would Ike to get on with Bridgeport.
 setley, who pitched q couple of games for Waterbury last season, was one of the expectant ones on the un- pire question. He was sent to the woods, just as he fared when he tried to be slab artist in this city.
 Steve Ashe. he of the left wing, was around looking for a position with some team. Steve says his arm is in good shape and he will do better work than ever. He wanted to land in Bridgeport. but it is doubtful if Steve will land successfully this season. It is the opinion of many that Steve is about all in.
 The five-year agreement was not touched upon at the meeting, and 1t probably will not be at the next meet i ing Many of the managers are not enthusiastic about making such bind ing agreement. The cases of Hi Ladd and Eddy Moriarity were not discussed as those matters were settled by the board of arbitration.
 John c. Chapman, years ago one of the stanch managers of a Connecticut team, was interested enough to stoI over in New Haven and hear what was being done or going to be done. Ex l Manager Chapman says the present league will be as fast as any in the l country and the people of this state will see the best kind of base ball.
 Thomas L. Reilly of Meriden was re ceiving congratulations all around While the meeting was in progress ht received word that he had been select ed as manager of the Jersey City team to succeed the late Thomas Burns This is q corking good position and nc better man could be chosen to jump into the shoes of the late Manages Burns. Both were lifelong friends and it will be Manager Reilly's ambi
 ton to follow as closely, ill the man aging of the team, the rules laid dowl
 by his dead friend as it is possible t
 do. Tom Reilly will make a capabi
 and, we have no doubt, a very success full manager.

GREAT CROPS AND PROS
PERITY.

The harvesting of winter wheat
has now reached Kansas, and all ex-
perts agree that the out-turn is to be
heavy. The entire crop is made.
The condition of spring wheat is al
most ideal, but it is believed the
acreage is less than last years by
perhaps a million acreas However
that may be, it is plain another
great wheat crop is pretty well as
SuTed.
The corn area is very large and
very promising. 1t is said the pres
ent condition of the crop was never
exceeded. The acreage will be close
up to 80, 900, 900, and a yield Of $500
million bushels from such an acre
age is by no means an impOssibility.
This would be an unprecedented crop,
but the stand and the present condi-
sibilty.
The third great crop of the our
try, cotton, is also full of promise.
The fields are clean and the crop is
growing rapidly. Blooms r re
ported in South Alabama, and the
first bale from Texas will soon be
due. The present high condition of
the crop may, it is true, not be fully
maintained; but enough is apparent
to justify to-day the prediction of a
handsome crop.
Givensgood crops of wheat, corn
and cotton, prosperity will perforce
stay with us another year. The price
of iron rails has already been put at
$I8 a ton for next years deliveries,
and there is nothing IN the iron mar
ket that indicates any lessening of
the abundant tide of prosperity.
Whatever subsequent years may be
this isgoing to be a year of great
activity and prosperity.
