President Mellen of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad an
nounced last week that the road would
build a steam line between South
bridge and Palmer. connecting with
the Central Vermont road, with which
friendly traffic relations have been
established. and obtaining through
connection between Boston and the
west, by way of the Grand Trunk sys-
tenn. In case the Southbridge- Palmer
line is built, it seems highly probable
that the line will eventually be built
from Palmer to connect with the Con
solidated road at Springfield. This
would make the New Haven road to
parallel the Boston & Albany from
Boston to Springfield.
President Mellen stated yesterday
that the road would not be built from
Palmer to Springfield. as such q line
would be unwarrantable and would
be an attack upon a friendly con
nection.

Despite the strong wind yesterday after
noon and last night Herr Granada and
Alma Fedora, who are performing in the
p~erilous feat of impersonating ''Topsy,'
the trick elephant, on the open air stage
In Electric Park, persisted in going on
with the act, Notwithstanding that they
were requested by Manager c. A. Dun
lap not to do so. The high wire act In
itself is hazardous enough. but en-
numbered as the performers are with the
elephantine rigging it becomes very dan
gerous. However they managed to go
through the act without accident. That
the daring Of the two performers was not
lost on the audience was evidenced by the
applause which greeted them at both per-
formances. The act will be given all this
week. 1t is accompanied with move spe-
%cialties. including a f1reworks display.
The bill offered in the rustic theatre
introduces RAMA and Arno in a humorous
act, in which the Blondon zebra and man

The usual artistic pictures were ex-
hibited in the Dunlap electric fountain.

of amateurs who are anxious to display
their ability at the performance on FRI
day night. Mr.. Riley is rehearsing dill
