SANDY HOOK 4--ALL-B'P0RTS 3.

It makes no difference what the great "All Bridgeporters" have or are saving about the Sandy Hooks" our team is laudable. And the above state ment is just as grammatical as 1t IS true, and just as true as 1t IS gram matical, and anyone would have sai q that if they were among the large crowd which witnessed the game of ball at the rye lot in Sandy Hook, last Saturday. And are tae Sandy Hook boys rejoicing? Now that is very fool ish question. But up to any one of the Sandy Hookites who form that lively bunch of ball play ITS, as the All
 Bsidgeport. team which was made uo of the pick of the best teams of the Park City came to town confident of
 victory, and were showering all kinds of windy T bet you, ' at leisure, be-
 fore the great game. Is it any wonder they left the field a very sorroWful lot.
 Yes, indeed, extremely sorrowful.
 Well, the game opened with our big Bill Holmes in the box and his star catcher, Gill, behind the bat for Sandy Hook and Coffey, one Of Bridgeport s star pitchers and Halpin the battery for Bridgeport. There was nothing doing in the line of runs until the fourth inning, when Lush, the second man up knocked two-bagger out ot our lively Talty's. reach. Gaffel fol lowed with the same brand, and Lush came in on Lynch's wild throw to the plate, Miller and Smalling both out on fouls to Gill. Gill died at first. Os-
 borne put the ash to the sphere and while Cassidy was looking for the ball in deep left field, came home. Keat. Ing and Lillis both hit but were put out. Score 1 to l Fifth Inning. Langhammer and Cassidy both failed to connect. Halpin flied to our dear
 lit .le shortstop, Bradley, and that was
 all for Bridgeport. Both Lynch and Talty hit but were out at first; Holmes landed and ssnt the pail clean over Langhammer' head with pass for
 three nice bases attached to 1t, then
 Haugh followed with a hit through Smalling, but it went foul and Holmes was left on third after Haugh flied to Smalling. Sixth Inning: Coffey hit over BradIey's head and afterwards
 stole second. Burdick walked. Coffey went to third on Lush being retired at first. Gaffel sacrificed and Coffey came in. Miller famed. Score: Bridgeport 2, Sandy Hook 1. Bradley walked. Gill out to Langhamnier. Osborne fouled to Halpin and Keating flied tt SmalIing. Seventh Inning. Smalline and Langhammer out at first and Gas sidy famed. Lillis out at first and Lynch famed. Talty reached first or an error and immediately stole sec ond. Holmes out to Cassidy. Eighth inning. Haugh couldn't gather in Hal pins low one, as he was playing too far out. Coffey safe on Keating's error

New Game Laws.

The general assembly having passed
the Ventress-A Society, game
bird protective aud game commits
sioner bills, the sportsmen of this sec
ton are making inquiries as to the
provisions of these measures.
In the first place, every hunter must
take out license, for which he will
pay 81 per season.
No hunting between sunset and sun
rise is allowed, and the bag is limited
to twenty-five.
Doves may be killed from Sept. to
March l; geese, ducks, rails, coots
and plover, from Oct. to March L;
wild turkey cocks. from Nov. l to
April /; quail from Nov TO March L;
snipe, ehorooks and papabotte, from
Sept. / to May Is; blue-winged teal
ducks, from Oct. l to April Is.
The most important feature of the
whole bill is the prohibition of the
sale of all game between March / and
the opening dates of the fall seasons
of any year. This will do wonders TO
increase the stock of game.

The General Assembly AdiOurns.

The regular biennial session OF the
general assembly Of Louisiana ended
Thursday night, having reached the
| constitutional limit of sixty working
days. The calendars of both houses
were cleared early in the day, and the
] final hours of the session were devoted
to horseplay in which the members
] participated with Incest and abandon

ton over the close OF a school tern.

Of the state, and they disported tham-
selves accordingly. Torpedoes and
cannon-crackers were exploded in the
halls and corridors to increase the
din. but by lucky chance nobody was
burned or mangied.
To the committees OF the house and
senate that waited on hin to announce
the readiness Of the assembly to adj
iourn, Gov. Sanders delivered brief
message, praising the work of the ses-
sion in highest terms and expressing
the belief IN at it would ne approved
by the Judgment of the people. The
house of representatives returned the
compliment by adopting resolutions
laudatory Of the governor. Lieut..
Gov. Lambremont, Speaker Dupre
and the other officers of the Two
branches of the general assembly were
given similar tribute, and when the
senate adjourned at 10 O'Clock and the
house ten minutes later, the air was SO
thick With harmony and good feeling,
SO to speak, that "yeu could cut it |

Important Police Jury Meeting.

The meeting of the police jury Of
Ascension Parish to be held on Wed.
nesday next, the 10th instant, prom
ises to DE one of more than ordinary
interest and Importance. Among the
matters to be considered is the adop-
ton of the budget of approximate ex-
penses and the levying of the parish
ak for 1903, the election of a sue
cessor to Secretary-Treasurer A. A,
King, who has been elected by the
people to the Office of parish assessor,
and the choice of q parish printer for
the ensuing year.
The contest for the more important
OF these two places is between At
torney Caleb C. Weber, one OF the
most influential Democrats in the par
ish and the representative OF his party
in its state central committee, and
Deputy Assessor T. a. Leblanc, a
competent and popular young man
who has been connected with the pa
rochial government for several years.
Both candidates seem confident of
success, and The Chief regrets the i'm.
possibility that the expectations of
both should be realized.
Although a new public printing act
has been raised by the general as.
semblY and signed by the governor,
it will not become operative until some
time after the police jury session Is to
be held, hence it would appear to be
obligatory to select the parish printer
under the law now in force, which |
directs the police jury 10 elect the |
printer a. its first meeting in July and I
authorizes the printer to designate the
newspaper which is to be the Official
journal of the parish. The prices to be
charged for the printing are desig-
mated in the law and neither the police
jury nor the competitors for the work
have authority to tx or ter them.
The Chief has some very decided
opinions as TO who should Re chosen
parish printer and why, but modesty
'orbids their present expression. We
nay have more 10 say on the subject

A Problem in Lawyers Fees,

Tx Attorney General Milton J
Cunningham of Natchitoches and Git,
| Attorney Samuel L. Gilmore of New
Orleans had no difficulty in getting
the genel al assembly to pass and Gov
Sanders to approve acts granting
these two lawyers fees of S10,G 600 each
for legal services which are no
Eclaimed to have been OF anything likf
equal public value to those rendered
/ by Lawyer Bepjamin Rice Fornan &c
the sewer age and water board and tc
| the people OF New Orleans. Yet Judge
Forman is not only denied q fee, but
is eTan deprived of the privilege oi
establishing the equity of his claim
| and enforcing It's payment through
tho courts. The general assembly
passed a bill authorizing him to pros
ecute suit and empowering the sewer
age and water board to satisfy such
judgment as might be rendered ia his
favor, but Gov. Sanders declares
that he will not sign the act because
the funds of the board are too sacred
to be diverted from their stated pur.
pose TO the payment of attorneys
fees
1t admitted--and the supreme
court OF Louisiana has SO declared
that Judge Forman's intervention and
legal labors in the Waterworks suit
were of great advantage to the sewer
age and water board, and conse-
quently to the tax payers of New Or
leans. If we recall the figures cor
rectly5 he is said to have Increased.
the resources of the board by ct least
81 $50, 600; yet the governor contends
that the privilege of suing for the
modest fee of two per cert of the sum
saved shall not be accorded to the
attorney who rendered this signal and
valuable public service.
Without any knowledge of the ex-
tent of the services performed by !
Judge Cunningham in the cambridge |
case some years ago, we confess to |
mere guesswork in the opinion that
the attorney would have heen hand
somely compensated by an allowance
Of one half the amouns granted him;
but there is more than guesswork in
he conviction that, irrespective OF the
question whether he was entitled to
any fee at all, Mr.. Gilmore,s services
o the port commission or the people
81 the city were scarcely worth fifth
II the $4,000 which the general as
'embiy and the governor SO readily |
rave him. Inasmuch as he was draw.
ng a liberal salary as city attorney.
t would seem that such legal exertions
IS he put forth in connection with the
of conditions affecting
he commerce of New Orleans might
ave been properly regarded as in the !
inc of official duty. s.
At all events, it is not easy to es.
ape the conclusion that for some
eason or other, not apparent ION the
ace of the papers," Judge Forman
as been uniustly and unreasonably
iscriminated against. 5
