Two very sensational games of base ball were played Sunday. The first was between the Ketehikan team and Hills pickups. The first two innings of this game looked as through the regular team intended carrying out their progrm of losing. but they ral- Led later on and finished several necks ahead
 The real event of the day was the Wine Clerks and Kings Colts. This resulted disastrously for the Wine Clerks who account for the defat in various ingenious ways. By some it is said the loss was occaisoned by the collapse of Hans Anderson very clever player. The substitution oi Morgan. whose sensational slide to third was spectacular, was a good stoke, but even that couldn't save the day, and the score went 9 to II for the Colts.
 Some ot the features of the game were Alex McBains double play by a catch in the field and throw to first. Other sensations of the game were Peck and Anderson's fast clip around the bases and Tom Barry fast work on second base.
 The btteries for the Wine Clerks was Joe Mahoney and Herd-Kings Colts-Ed Williams and Chas. Cos grove. Altogether the teams put up a good game. Score to II in favor of Kings Colts-Umpire Stackploe.

Congressman Edwin W. Higgins of this district, who as member of the judiciary committee will be much en- gagged during this session of congress in considering general legislation Of importance to the entire country, Tn discussing recently the matter of river and harbor improvements in relation particularly to the Third district, said:
 "I hope there will be a general rivers and harbors bill in this congress. There is no doubt but what the sentiment of the country is favorable to one. We have no such projects in the east as the improvement of the Mississippi river and the locks and dams on the Ohio, though we pay our proportion towards their construction, and as a section largely interested in manufac
 turing are concerned about the best and cheapest methods of transporta- ton and of furnishing competition with the railroads who now handle most of our domestic commerce. The last bill carried an appropriation of $50,000,000, and there has been about S300,000,000 appropriated by congress for the inn prCvements of our harbors and interior water courses during the last fifteen years. We have in the Third district some waterways that since the federal government takes absolute Jurisdiction of all navigable streams require some improvements The Thames river is provided for by a fixed annual appro- pi.ation and is maintained at its pres ent depth by dredging, there being no project suggested for any change, and the present depth meets the present and r:CEable demand of commerce on the river for some time. There are, however, a number of other river and harbor matters in the district that do need caring for. The present practice, and it is wise one. requires an au- thorization by congress for a survey by the government engineers connected with tho war department The pur- pose of this is to determine, first, whether the commerce, present and probable, warrants the expenditure; scSond, what is the best method of attain ng the desired improvement, and third, it's cost. Congress by adopting th's method prevents waste of the public money, secures in advance the best engineering opinion of the country as to tho feasibility and practicability of ire undertaking and is enabled to work upon facts instead of conjecture as a basis.
 '1n the last regular session of con- gress surveys of the Mystic river and Shetucket river above Laurel Hill bridge were authorized. Work on the former is now in progress under the
