Court Upset. Apportionment.

ALBANY, N. r., April 4.-The court of appeals declared that the senate ap- portionment adopted by the legislature of 1906 was unconstitutional and void. For the first time in the history of the state an apportionment has been over turned by the decision of court, and the consequences are so vast and the possibilities so sweeping that even ex- perienced legislators here have hardly ventured to predict what the result will be.

He was out to the grounds today with George I.a' chance and took look over the field. Everything is coming along bright said the popular Waterbury captain, and before he quit the grounds he picked out the spot for planting the pole to hold the pennant. which he says is coming to the Brass city for sure this year. Next week the rest of the play CTS will begin to arrive and Nick" will look them over to see that they have not developed any winter kinks in their arms or legs. It will be all baseball now for few months and polo will take summer vacation.
