FOR SPEEDWAY RACES.
PRIZES TO BE TRoTTED FOR IN
 DIFFERENT GLASSES.

Plans for Series of First Glass Contests
 -suggestions for Insuring Safety to
 Those Who Race aud All Others in
 the Vicinity.
 It is proposed to have series of races on Goffe street among the speed blankets, etc. from the lovers of horse races or from liverymen, can be ob- tained.
 It is proposed to divide the sport into classes of 2:SS, 2:2S, 2:1S, 2:14 and a free-for-all, thereby giving every horse a chance, the races to be best two in three, all entries to be made to Fred c. Candee of Elm street, and all contributions of prizes to the same party.
 The winners of each of the above races to compete in a final divided in- to two classes of 2:1S and free-for-all and the winners of these two classes to compete for the speedway suprem- acy.
 It is hoped that every one will fall in with this idea and give prizes gen. erously, so that an early date can be arranged for the meeting before the snow is all gone.
 A subscription book has been opened
 at Fred. c. Candee's, where all persons
 their money-any amount will be ac- ceptable.
 The horses entered must all be owned
 in New Haven, no hobbies allowed All who enter this contest must have ! contributed $2.O0 or more toward the improvement of the speedway. In the absence of a regular speedway
 in our city, and rules and ordinances to govern such, it is respectfully re-
 quested that the mayor and other prop
 CT authorities take immediate action Ffor the better protection of the lives of
 our citizens on foot, in sleighs, and { their valuable horses on Goffe street which the road drivers have decided to
 be the best and safest street in the city at present to speed horses on. I
 would propose Goffe street from Broad way to Hudson street be given up to the road drivers from two to five
 o'clock each day, and that no teams be allowed to go but one way, that
 route being west from Broadway to Orchard street. all teams to turn to the right or left, at or above Orchard street
 and not enter Goffe street until they
 ysach broadway, and that no teams be {, allowed to stand still, or move at a slower pace than mile in four min utes. On the street only those abso-
 lutely obliged to be there on business should be allowed, and that such bus mess be done as far as possible before two and after five o'clock D. m. each Gay, and that no teams be allowed to cross at Webster or Sperry streets, and
 that a rope be stretched across Sperry
 and Webster streets to the park fence
 near the bell tower, and that all spec tators on foot be kept on the sidewalk, no one being allowed outside of the
 crrb between Broadway and Orchard streets, and that we have police pro- tection, and that they be given author ity to enforce such rules or any other which they think necessary for the pro- lection and safety of the speeders and spectators. think no person should be allowed to drive horse on said
 speedway which is not we'll broken and
 under proper control. B.

SALOON DID NOT OPEN.
Oxford Pastor Finds Way to Prevent
 Selling of Whiskey.


 Oxford, Apri 2S.-(Special. .)--The people have been stirred up over the saloon question. The first Monday in March the new Council mot for the first time and Il petition was presented to it signed by every woman in the city save perhaps a half dozen, begging that no saloon IT, ccnses be granted. There were no appli- cations for license at that needing and the antl-saloon people were TeJOiced in hope that nothing would be done at feast for another month. Imagine their sur prise when few mornings later. they learned that called meeting had been held and two saloon licenses granted. Then 1t was the whisky sides time to rejoice. Quarters were secured and a day designated when a. saloon was to be opened In the town for, the first time in twenty years Within two days of the proposed opening came a 3thunderboIt from an apparently clear sky The Rev. MT. Ivey, pastor of the Baptist Church here, through attorneys, had been inves- tigating the law and took the matter to the Probate Court, with, the result that the Judge refused to issue State and County license. The saloon did not open.
 The Louisville and Nashville Railroad has about perfected arrangements for the extension of its main line (AdineraI Division), to this place. and expects to have 1t in operation this fall Oxford has no furnaces nor car shops but is get ting along fairly well. Its people have much for which to be thankful and hone always to do business on their own hook.
