Special to The Herald
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. 15.--The
board of governors of the Algonquin
club, one of the foremost social or
CARNATIONS in this city, has surprised

rumors by its action in forbdding
members from playing poker beyond u
penny ante and 10-cent limit.
1t is said certain members have lost
heavily of late and that their wives
secretly complained to the board OF
governors. The complainants stated
that their husbands love of the game
had caused Il curtailment of their
pleasures and even necessitated the
practice of economy i'm their homes.
In one instance, 1t is said, the report

PROTEST
They Do Not Want the Plaza DeS.
trOyed as Some Have Pro-
posed Doing.

The following very interesting let-
ter, which The Journal Is advised,
was gotten up By the pupils Of Grade
Z, Section A. School No 1, upon their
own initiative and without any sug-
gcstion whatsoever excepting that
caused by reading the articles IN The
Journal relative to the proposition TO
use the Plaza as a site for the new
City Hall, has just been received:
The Pupils Letter.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
We. the pupils Of Grade Z, Section
A of school No. /. ask for a space in
your columns to beg that the Plaza
be preserved as historic memorial
Our historical readings of Pensaco-
Ia tell us that this Plaza was part
of the English plan of the city as it
was laid out nearly a hundred and
fifty years ago. Then, our
Plaza reached from George street,
now Palafox, to Charlotte, now Alca-
niz. and as far north as Intendencia.
Now Seville square, and the Plaza is
al that is left of what was once the
pride AMI life of our city.
Shall all this be destroyed and no
historical memorial be left? The
city has let Fort George and Fort San
Bernardo be sold and destroyed and
it has allowed the old trading post OF
W. NJ. PantOn & Co. to be forgotten
and lost Shall they build the City
Hall on the Plaza and have left nc
memorial of ancient Pensacola?
If the Plaza is used for the City
Hall the people will have no place to
sit and rest, and they will soon be
tempted into evil places, and our
beautiful, healthy Pensacola will be
come a nest Of outlaws and degraded
people.
May We then beg that our dear city
officials Will select another place for
the building of the City Hall, and pre-
serve our historic Plaza.
