Every seat should be filled to- night and standing room only should be the sign displayed.
 There will be warm preliminary game also, for the Company G boys who have won the championship o the city. will meet the Graphophones who have won the amateur cham pionship of Bridgeport.

WAYS OF FISHING.
Trout Killed with . Hammer - Masked Lake Fishermen.

"I wore a woolen mask when I caught that fish," said the angler. pointing to mounted specimen above the sideboard. land the thermometer registered 12 degrees below zero at the time. It was on lake Michigan. On the lakes the summer fishing will aggre- gate 130, ,000 900 pounds season. There is a winter fishing, too, when men in windmasks sit over little holes in the thick ice and, at polar temperature, watch their tieups. They don't catch much, but what they do catch they get seven or eight cents pound for. and thus 1t is possible for the winter fishermen to earn SIP day. I'd have earned 317 the day went out if I had sold my fish. The little carp over the mantel was caught with . mirror. My line had a mirror behind the bait. When a fish approached his own re. fection made him think that another fsh was about to snatch the bait from him, and he bit greedily. The fine trout above the hole in the carpet l caught with a hammer. What? Yes. . hammer. That is the Georgia way. They wade up and down stream and whack with a stout sledge every biG stone they pass. Then they turn over the stone and find. as like as not. a stunned trout underneath. ."-New Or leans Times. Democrat.

pRoKos WAS KISSED.
Iusisted on Shortening His Bout Witl
 Perelli Last Night.

At Manchester. N. H., Wednesday night, John Perelli of New York failed to throw James Prokos, the Greek, of Lowell. Mass, tvlce in one hour, catch-as-catch-can style, ac- cording to his agreement, before a crowd of 2,500 people.
 Perelli won the first fall in S2 minutes. When the timekeeper an nounced 29 minutes yet to be wrestled, Prokos dissented and fought the right to have the 1f minutes allotted to rest taken out of the hour. After some argument Perelli finally consented to this plan in order not to disappoint the spec tators, and as a consequence they wrestled only 19 minutes. making only 50 minutes of actual work. Prokos was roundly hissed on return ing to his dressing room.
 In the preliminary Edward Clay ton of England won over James GIL ligan by throwing him twice in 33 minutes, and Carl Busch of Germany defeated Clinton Foster of Man. chester by throwing him twice in six minutes. All the bouts were al catch-as-catch-can style.

POLO WHITES. Last game of the season.

Bridgeports are coming up two or three hundred strong.
 New Britain will root for the Bridgeports this evening, but Water bury will outroot them all.
 It will be the last chance for the fans to see polo game this season. It will be golden opportunity to see the two best teams in the league in the final struggle for supremacy.
 Carson City will try to outroot the grand balcony tonight with the odds in favor of the Carson boys. In the meantime the east and west galleries and the east and west lower floor sports will do stunts to each other.
 Several bets have been made be- tween the players on both teams as to the number of goals that will be made. the number of stops for each goal tender. the number of rushes captured, the number of fouls. and whether they will whip the referee or not in the final period.
 The Company c boys are in great trim for their final game of the sea- son. They argue that as they have whipped the Graphophones on their own floor they certainly ought to do the trick here tonight. The Bridge port amateurs. however. say they have a nigger up their sleeve which they will let loose on Louis Cronan and his bunch.
 This is the last appeal to the fans to be loyal to their players by turn Ing out in big numbers this evening. The locals certainly have given you fast and speedy polo all season long. Don't let 1t be said that Bridgepor, did better by her team than Water bury will do by hers. Let every man, woman and child in the city get a hustle on and be down at the rink and help Waterbury win that second position.

Precious Heritage.

Sweetness of temper is precious heritage. It gives beauty to every thing. It keeps its windows open to- ward the spice country. and fills the home with perpetual delight. The for tunate possessor of sunny soul is Gods evangel in a dark world. He is a living gospel which no one will ever repudiate, and the blessedness of which all men will appreciate. The body will grow old and the smooth brow will be furrowed, but happy disposition is an aureole to the gray crown of age. Blessed is he whose life looks out upon the land of Beu- lah and whose soul is responsive to the outlying vision.

Spectacular Race Saw Defeat or Fa.

 WASHINGTON, April 12. Fine weather, although trifle cool, and a prospect of excellent sport attracted a great throng to the Washington Jockey club races at Benning. A specially at- tractive card had been arranged, in- cluding as feature the sixth running of the Amateur cup. high weight sell ing race, the starters to be ridden by amateur jockeys.
 Quadrille. ridden by MT. O'Brien, was made an odds on favorite, the plunge on him being so heavy that many of the layers finally declined more money on him. The favorite went to the front at the start and was not headed. Bull wark challenged the leader resOlutely in the stretch. but could not reach lem, Quadrille winning by nearly two lengths. with Thomond third.
 Paprika easily won the handicap steeplechase. the favorite. Guardian, falling and the second choice, Harry Baylor, stopping to walk after run ming mile and half. He came again and got the short end of the purse from Listaway.
 The handicap. which opened the card, was won by Oraculum. almost neglect ed. at 5 to 1. A heavy play was made on Diamond Flush, Miller's mount, but she did not figure.
 Reidmoore handily won the closing race by two lengths from Water Dog with the heavily played Azelina third.

Worlds Largest Diamond.

The American Magazine reports graphically the recent discovery of the largest diamond in the world a diamond which weighs in the rough 3,024% karass. Translated into under. standable terms, it is a stone weigh. ing a pound and third. Until the discovery of this wonderful gem the worlds record in diamonds was held by the "Excelsior"-a stone of 969 karats-nearly half pound avoirdu. pois. Three years ago the Excel. sior," which was badly fiawed. was cut up into ten stones, valued at $415,. 900. This in turn utterly ecllpsed all the other great diamonds of the world Thus: Kohnioor (after first cutting), 279 karats; Nizam of Hyderabad, 279; Regent or Pitt, 137; Duke of Tuscany 133; Tiffany (yellow), 125; Orloff 194; Star of the South, 124.

 Baseball will never die.
 Just look at the size of the crowds.
 New York nationals had to give the game a black eye right on the very start
 Cincinnati which has been laughed at by the other teams threw a sur prise into the camp yesterday by trimming Pittsburg.
 One measley little hit of Corridor. who pitched for the Philadelphia Ia- tionals. does not speak well for the Giants batting ability after all their spring practice.
 Pretty big crowds for a day like yesterday. but 1t showed Just one thing. that baseball is the great na- tional game and will never die in the hearts of the people while bat or q ball can be found.
 The Boston Americans and the Phil adelphias enjoyed fourteen inning session yesterday. which the Boston ians took ny hammering the ball hard in the last session. rnglaub had three tvo-base hits while our own Wagner had just three errors.
 A shut-out for the Chicago Ameri- cans by the St Louis team shows just how the teams are built up this sea son It looks as though the Chicago> will hay. to go some faster this year if they expect to land another pen nanf.
 Dementia baseballiana they called It yesterday, because of the enormous crowds which turned out on a ccld and frosty day. Evidently the police down in New York did not like the weather for they failed to maferiaIize at the polo grounds and hence the rio. which broke m the game.

VIRTUE IN THE EELskIN.
Worth Trying by Those Who Suffer
 from Attenuation.

"why don't you get an eelskin?" said the old vegetable lady" as the master at one of our largest markets paused in front of her stand and rubbed his knee, giving utterance to a half-smothered exclamation that rhymed with clam, ham and words like those. What good would an eel skin do?" growled the market-master. Don't you know" was the answer, that an eelskin is the very best thing you can try for rheumatism? Some solks think that the eel. being natural ly Timber and quick in It's motions, gives q virtue to the skin, and this makes a rheumatic joint as Timber as the eel itself; but I guess there isn't much in that notion. It's a kind of magic, you know. But the eelskin really does do good. and the way 1t does 1t Is this: The eelskin Is just like leather, only not 60 thick. and 1t feels like a piece of tough kid that has been soaked in oil. Now. you wrap the eelskin round your knee and tie it on. or pin 1t on. 1t doesn't mat ter which. and 1t keeps the joint warm and the oil makes the skin soft. and after awhile your rheumatism is gone. People laugh at the idea and call 1t an old woman's notion. but some old women's notions are pretty good notions. s."-Philadelphia Ledger.

 NEW YORK, April 12.-The first baseball game of the season, between the New York and Philadelphia Ma tional league teams, was forfeited to Philadelphia by the Giants, to 0.
 In the ninth inning during dispute the crowd rushed over the ,Outfield and diamond, surrounding Umpire Klein. and stopped the game. Police reserves were called, but were unable to force the crowd back, although the hose was turned on them.
 The scene was disgraceful one and entirely due, it is said, to the incompe- tency of the police.
 Roundsman Mclaughlin and three patrolmen fin the meanwhile came up on the grounds, but they were unable to do anything with the unruly mob, some of the members of which amused themselves by throwing bottles, glass es and cushions in all directions.
 The roundsman told Roger Bresna- han of the local club he had orders not to interfere with the crowd, and the demonstration turned into good na- tured jollification. Soon Umpire Klem announced that he had forfeited the game to Philadelphia. The score was 3 to 0 in favor of the visitors. NATIONAL LEAGUE. At New York

NEW BRITAIN WON.

New Britain, April 12.-A benefit game for the New Britain polo team was played last evening at Hanna s armory with the Hartford team. New Britain won in an almost fea- tureless game, 10 10 5. Fred Jean, the old New Britain center in the palmy days of polo, was in the floor holding down the same position again. He was given the glad hand as he came on the floor and was the center of attraction. Only one foul was called during the game and that was on Thompson for having his knee on the floor when hitting the ball. Lincoln carried the ball from the spot and caged goal in three seconds in the second period. The goal tending of both men was sensa- tional at times, in the number and skill of their stops. Score:
