 The buff room of the American
 Ring factory is receiving thorough
 overhauling. It will take some time
 to put in the new blowers and reno- vate the room entirely. consequently this department of the factory may
 be closed for couple of weeks. The new rooms of the Duggan school were opened this morning. Although the three rooms on the up-
 per floor are still incomplete the
 board of education will hustle the work now since they will have the
 money necessary to finish the addi- tion.
 John Blandsfield of Third street. while working in the yard of the
 JacksonN stonecutting firm on South Leonard street Monday. had his leg
 battered by the falling of a block of
 stone. The heavy weight fell and al- though Blandsfisld endeavored to pull 1t out of harms way 1t struck his leg in such manner as to cause a painful injury.
 Wow. WOW, how the sports were stung yesterday! The exhibitions given by the International Athletic club in the afternoon were poor, as the star bout between McFadden and
 Connolly was just for taps. and the Vallone-Allman go failed to mater-
 ialize as the latter did not appear. Chick" Lahey and Clancy of Wash ington hill furnished the other pre-
 liminary. In the evening several of those who had spent their good money in the afternoon again tried
 their luck and went to City hall
 last evening to witness wrestling match. No wonder the Brooklynites who expected to witness some good events yesterday were grinding their teeth last night.
 The new bridge which the Consoli- dated road is erecting near Bank street where the trestle formerly stood is fast nearing completion and when 1t is finished two tracks will be immediately iaid across 1t. AL though 1t was expected that when this bridge was ready 1t would only bs six or eight weeks later when the Naugatuck station would be aban- donsd 1t was learned this morning that the Naugatuck Is not likely to be discontinued until about the first of June. Although the grading be- tween the bridge and the temporary station on West Main street is com- pleted with the exception of a stretch near Jackson street still there is a large amount of other portions of the undertaking to receive attention so that it appears as though this part of the big job will not be finished until a few months later than at first anticipated. The grading be- tween the bridge on Bank street and the one on Washington avenue is almost ready and 1t would seem as though in a short time the tracks could be changed 90 as to allow all trains to run into the union station. But things are not what they seem and the foreman this morning de- clsred that 1t would take some months to put the finishing touches on this part of the job. James s. Elton stated that he did not think the Naugatuck would be discontinu- ed before spring and may be not un- til summer. The work has not pro- gressed as rapidly as he thought 1t would. consequently 1t will be later than expected when all trains go into the West Main street station. The Adams Express company will not have 10 vacate their present quarters until after June 1. so Man ager Parker thinks. Although the company expected to remove before this time to a temporary building near the present station on West Main street. more time has been al- lowed and the will continue business ct the present stand for the first half of the year. Mir Elton could not say this morning what use the land where the Naugatuek station now stands would be put to when the beautiful structure. the place which vie5 with the postofice as be- ing the premier spot in the city for eooing couples. is abolished Peter Fitxhenry Of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement committee says with the station out Of the way there will hc an exrelreuf opeuine for hi<
