ROCKVILLE.

The railroad commissioners gave a
hearing last Thursday to the Stafford
Springs Street Railway company. The
company wants to change slightly it's
original location of q part of its tracks
in Rockville, and 1t also asked the
commissioners to approve it's plan of
construction. There was no objection
to either of these requests. The com.
pany, however, wants to erect chest
nut poles in the center of the city,
and it is the desire of the city that
iron poles be placed for q distance Of
about 500 feet. This would mean
about fifteen or twenty poles. Mayor
George Forster and Corporation Ooun-
sci John e. Fisk of Rockville were
present in the interest of the city,
and O. r. Hart, chief engineer of
the Stafford Springs Street Railway
company, represented the company.
Mr.. Hart said that the line would
not begin to pay for many years. 1t
has been an expensive road to build
and he said that the company did not
feel justified in spending one cent
more than was absolutely necessary
to build the road. The commission
ers discussed the matter and reserved
their decision. Hartford Oourant.

The plaintive wall from Ware,
voiced in the morning Union Of Tues
day, excited much local interest The
insinuation that there has been deal
ing from the bottom of the pack comes
in poor grace from the Hampshire
county magnates. They have been
issuing marked cards for several
games. When they drew Kid MoCor-
mack to I'LL q weak hand they violated
a fundamental rule of the play, as he
is still under contract with Nashville,
and thereby breaking rule two of the
Bi-state league. which reads as fol-
lows:-
Rule 2. Players under contract of
national agreement are debarred from
games played in this league, and all
games played with such players par
ticipating shall be forfeited to the
team not at fault.
According to the above rule Ware
eo.Rosk. %ha rouoo ~Iovod Tabor dow
morning to Stafford, making the
standing of the local team II games
won and six lost. The standing of
Ware is 10 games won and 10 lost.
Passing over the situation relative to
rule 2. Stafford is still entitled to the
championship, as under the rules of
the national association, applying also
to the Bi-State, the season ends the
day on which the last game is sched-
uled. According to the statement
made by the manager of another BIZ
State league team. Ware has been
playing q man who has not been re-
leased by the team with which he
first signed. With these facts in
view. the idle nature of the protest
from Ware is evident Relative to
playing another series with Ware, the
proposition. cannot be entertained, as
the local team has disbanded. Stat
ford has won three of the four games
played with Ware this season, and
there seems no good reason why there
should be another meeting.

FLEET HIAWATHA.
A Cynical Critics Cold Analysis Of
LonafeIlow's Description.

A Cynical Critics Cold Analysis OF
LongfeIiow'e Description.
Determine how fast, asks Professor
Greenhill, Hiawatha can run from the
following data:
Strong of arm was Hiawatha. Ill
He could shoot ten arrows upward.
y And the tenth had Aeft the bowstrfng
Ere the first to earth had fallen.
Swift of foot was Hiawatha.
He could shoot an arrow from him
And run forward with such swiftness
That the arrow fell behind him.
Neglecting the resistance of the air
and granting that Hiawatha could
shoot one arrow q second, the solution
Is as follows:
The time of flight of the arrows shot
upward must have been nine seconds.
Therefore the velocity with which they
were shot, being equal to the time null
tiplied into half the value of the con-
slant of gravity, was IA feet a second.
Now, in shooting an arrow from him,
Hiawatha, to obtain the farthest flight,
would let fly at an angle Of forty-five
degrees, and by a simple trigonomet-
ricaI calculation we therefore arrive at
the fact that the horizontal velocity Of
the arrow would be rather less than LA
feet a second and would in fact be 1O2
feet a second, or seventy miles an hour.
Hiawatha would therefore have to run
faster than this. Could he do it on a
sprint?
Again having recourse to calculation,
we find that an arrow shot at IA feet
a second would fly 216 yards, or near
ly a furlong. Hiawatha would run
that distance in about seven seconds,
SO that he would be able to give the
present holder Of the record some 145
yards start.-London Post

the greenhouses have been let to Lord
& Burnham of New York, the build.
ings to be erected at cost of $40, 900,
and that the design of Davis & Brooks
of Hartford had been accepted pro-
visionally for the horticultural build
ing. The greenhouses will consist of
q range of six iron and glass houses
covering 40 square feet of ground.
One house will be for specimen plants,
such as palms and tropical plants for
educational purposes, one for cerna-
tiors, one for roses and the others 70.
the propagation of plants under differ
emit temperatures. AS the greenhouses
will use up nearly hale of the $50, 900
appropriation, it is hoped that the
horticultural building and the florists
cottage may be constructed for $25.
900, leaving $4,000 for equipment.
The plans of Davis & Brooks we're ac-
ceptable to the committee, but iC is
hoped that the other work-the for
lists cottage and workroom for the
greenhouses may be included in the
$25, 900 set aside for this purpose.
The contractors are to give figures on
this additional matter and hence their
plans were accepted Professionally
