FINE RACES SOON
Seven New Members Added to New Haven Driving
 Club.
ALL HAVE FAST HORSES
Entries for Matinee Meet Planned for Soon Will Give Finest List Ever
 Contested Here.

New life has been given to the New to the membership roll at the last meeting of seven new members, all of whom are great horse fancers and who will take great interest in putting on the track at the club some of the best horses in this part of the coun- try The hot weather has interfered with the races which the club had planned to hold as the dry spell so baked the ground of the track that 1t made it very difficult to harrow 1t and get in to shape. The field was so dry that there was danger of horses being injured In using the track. On this account the last meet was abandoned and left over until better weather permits of racing.
 In the near future. however, there will be race which 1t is planned will eclipse anything which has ever been given in this city. The new members will all have entries and there will be horses from other prominent horse men of the vicinity who are not mem bers of the club.
 The new members added to the club are George Nesbit, who has just pur- chased a new horses from George Cripps, which he will have in the field; pr. Whitney, the veterinarian, who will pit Virgil B against Dr. Groves famous Sam F.; James Nes- bit, who enters Amber Wilkes; F. L. Walsh, with a bay trotter which he has just purchased from Fred Shares; Michael J. Maginn with Zip, formerly owned by Nick Hubinger and George T. White of the Tontine.
 Besides the entries of these new members Leon Malloon and Mr Champagne will enter horses, as will also E. M. Hall, all well known to horsemen of this vicinity. The entries which this will make for the list gives assurance of. the best list of events that has ever been contested at a matinee drive of the Driving club.

REDUCTION
 OF SENTENCE
 FOR MEACHAM
Continued from First Page.)

detect He. however, realized that the rights of the accused made it possible to prolong litigation and put the state to much greater expense and in view of the attitude of the accused to accept punishment forthwith and save this ex- pense together with the other consider ations advanced entitled him to some leniency, at least at the hands of the court. Judge Mathewson thereupon said he would reopen the judgment and impose sentence of twelve months and in accordance herewith Meacham was re-sentenced to a term of one year in jail and as here stated his sentence went into immediate effect.
 An official of the Connecticut com pany when notified of the above stated that the company was perfectly satis- fled with Judge Mathewsons' Judgment. who had acted with full possession of the fact and was better qualified to pass upon the case than anyone else. The companys position is that while the large majority of the conductors are honest in their dealings with the company there is sufficient number who, notwithstanding a periodical dis charge of conductors for falling to reg ister fares, still continue their pecula- tions, resulting in very large loss to the company.
 A periodical prosecution, he said, seemed absolutely necessary and that if the practice continued other prosecu- tions would follow with the hope that the court would give even more severe sentences than that given by Judge Mathewson. He further added that the decision of Judge Mathewson fully indicated that courts were not dispos- ed to treat embezzlement of this char acter lightly and when this became full ly understood 1t would have most salutory effect.

FIDDLER CRUSADE Police Arrest Two in Violation of Licensing Ordinance Re-
 gently Passed. CHIEF ORDERS ARREST One Man Took Cheap License and Vi- plated Restrictions That Went
 With It.

The police have started their cru sade against peddlers who insist on doing business without the required licenses which the newly passed or dlnance calls for. Two arrests were made yesterday, the central police getting one man and the Grand ave- nue officers the other George Cor don was the victim of the central po- lice, and his case Is considered an es- pecially fragrant one by Chief Cowles In view of the fact that a license was issued to him at low rate which spe- officially allowed him to sell cutlery and he stretched his business to take In other lines of goods. The chief said that Gordon carne to him some time ago and wanted cheap license so that he could peddle small knives and he was finally given one. Then he asked for permission to peddle at Church and Crown streets, which was absolutely refused by the chief, who told him that 1t was Church and George street for him, or nothing He went away.
 Last night he was seen doing bus iness at Church and Grown streets the forbidden territory, and he is fur ther accused of selling forbidden article. In fact 1t appears that his main trade at least was in other goods than what his license allowed. The chief was notified and ordered his ar- rest He is charged with obstructing the street and also with peddling without license, as the goods which he was selling did not come under the scope of his license.
 The other man, whom the Grand avenue police captured, was Joseph Stevens. He comes frop Boston and Is accused of peddling razors in the down town district of the city without having any license at all.
 Chief Cowles continues to have de- bates with a number of persons who believe that they are or should be ex- empt from being licensed for various reasons. One of the firms in this city which sells household specialties by sending Its men around to canvass from door to door with goods from teams has been objecting to the H. cense but the chief has definitely an- nounced that 1t must pay license and that he will not, as they have ask ed, license each team, but that every man must be licensed If they object they must take the case to court as a test case.
 Further licensing will probably come under the charge of the police department soon. Some method of getting the newsboys under control is desired as 1t Is felt that at present they are decided nuisance. The al- dcrmen will probably receive favor able report which will be passed from I the ordinance committee for the | licensing of newsboys and placing the
 licensing power in the hands of the police department. One alderman stated last night that the only reason this ordinance which was presented tc the committee some time ago has not already been made law Is that there is objection in the board of placing the power in the hands of the proba- tion officer which the original draft called for. The change to the police department will be substituted.

 To the bereaved family he tried to convey something of the love and re- spect which have been so universally expressed by those who in any way had known him.
 For the church, Prof. Bacon express ed the conviction that 1t would rise with renewed conservation and energy and carry forward the work which MT. Haynes had so we'll begun and which lay so near to his heart
